Amazing job! Not only do you do a fantastic job, but you also picked one of my favorite songs. The kinks are so underappreciated. I'd put the Village Green album against anything the Beatles were doing at the time.
@shanenkim Shane-Thanks so much for that great comment. It's true about that album. It's been a favorite of mine for many years. Really glad you liked my rendition. Also wanted to mention I'm honored to be your one and only subscription (really?!! In 5 years on youtube and you finally subscribed to someone - and it was me?!!)
@Pappahobo Thanks! No it's not a previous video - just images I found online. Originally I was going to use Google Street View for the images but there weren't enough of them.
yeah.. I love the Kinks... Ray davies is one of the best songwriters ever.... this is not one of my favourite Kinks songs but you do a really nice version of it... well done...;
You da man, Mike! Once again you pick the meaningful song - not Ray's best musical effort, by a stretch, but one of the most thoughtful and thought-provoking. As you say, Ray has the ability "to make you feel nostalgia for places you've never been", and, for places he had rarely been, since London has few village greens! Your rendition is understated and emphasizes the story, just as Ray would. Great job!
@MIK415 Hey Mike - I knew I could count on you for a great comment on any Kinks song I do. This is a very special song to me, as I see it is for you too.
what a great tune , mike . thanks to your past kinks songs and now this one i have a brand new appreciation for mr. davies . so much of the past to catch up and listen to , isn't there ?
