@PopularMechaniks well fuck of then

[GreenhouseEffectGE]

c'mon guys ,....EVERYBODY KNOWS and loves the Kinks ,...we're not an exclusive society - we kinks fans -

[nottsfhj]

As much as I love the music, several of the Kinks songs are bitter diatribes against family life (do you remember walter).

but family life is obviously extremely important to most people, and can lead to an extremely full life.

Not necessarily as dull as Ray thinks.

[shmadsta]

EXcellent! Ray sings really deep in this album. I dig it :)

[LANE211]

gotta move when this is on!

[Jake29112]

this is amazing!



[renotsecniv]

Brilliant. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has the pleasure of knowing Ray's music.

[magicalmysterygirl]

Great tune. Yes, we indeed live in a society of small talk. If we started talking about how down and out we really are or how dull our lives are, boy would we all be depressed. So let's discuss the latest color of your kitchen walls! Yippee!

To me it seems like this song is about a father who's trying to make up lost time with his son, but in the end he can't, and what happened or should've happened in the past can't happen today. Nothing special is going on between them, and in the end they're not talking about anything.

Or maybe I'm just looking to deep.

I dunno how you got a thumbs down for your insight. But I tend to agree with you. I was listening to this tune the other day over and over trying to figure it out. I agree with you. But it can be interpreted in many ways; i mean just look at the other comments on this forum. But yeah, I agree with your views.

"All the words that you spit from your face add up to nothing, you got nothing to say."

This is true for so many people I know.

the bridge "those happy days we spent together..." among one of the greatest Ray Davies moments ever

[ClickUserName]

Along with Big Sky's "one day we'll be free" and Lazy Old Sun's "

You make the rainbows and you make the night disappear", these moments seem to come out from nowhere and make the songs 10x better.

[banjoshua]

In the same vein, melodies coming from nowhere :

"Thinking about it now, just what might have been" (I'll remember)

"Playing at a different studio everyday" (Session man)

"Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper time" (Have a cuppa tea)

"But Walter was my mate" (Do you rember Walter)

"So you think you've got ambition..." (Yes sir, No sir)

Guess that's why we love the Kinks so much.

[banjoshua]

"We'll surf, like they do in the USA"

Perfect melodic twist really, but there are so many in the kinks' music

i bought this album on cassette i guess around 82 or 83 and it saved my life. Got me thru dome dark times in the 80's...damn i hate that decade!!
