omg, the words to this song are unbelievable. he aint gettin older, hes gettin better and better and better! that's pretty good for a man who started out as excellent!!
I just like Kinks and Ray's music, though it's your englishmen's . Man can do simplisity to an art. Greetings from Finland. I know, where my coat is...
Ray put on an incredible show in Poughkeepsie, NY Mar. 2010. This was the only song he played from the WC album. Bill Shanley is an amazing guitarist to watch.
Ray always has, is and always will be in a class all by himself and above anyone else. He really is not like everybody else. God save Ray Davies because once he is gone there will never be another one like him.
Genius and brilliant are so overused today....but not in the case of the incredibly gifted Mr. Raymond Douglas Davies. And you're only getting better Ray....love ya!
he's not that old, he's what? 64? But i agree, he is a legend. Whats good is that he is still as powerful in concert now as he was 30 years ago. Thanks for posting!
I saw Ray 19th June at Hampton Court Palace, and he was excellent then too. His Encore was All day and all of the night. As soon as the guitar came in, everyone in the audience was jumping. He even did the Angus Young duck walk. True Rockstar!

I really love this song and this acoustic version is simply perfect, transmitting the blue sensation of being ephemeral.
