@DoctorFingers it is gone now, yours is the only one up (with the original video.) i love this video so much, it always brings tears to my eyes at the end.
According to Doug Hinman, Dave was originally in the video, but something untoward happened, as usual!
Nontheless I think it is an interesting video - not quite sure who all the characters are - obviously Ray is playing his father. Is the other main male character/lost soldier his mother's brother or just "a friend"? Is there a dark significance to the way he pushes the other woman's hand away?
So true, so true...he is very elusive in every video. Have you seen the video for Mr. Pleasant? Dave manages to get into a shot, but only by standing behind Ray. It's a shame considering the colossal amount of stage presence posessed by Dave.
Yeah, I had only seen like 2 seconds of it before, so it was nice to see even if the quality was shoddy (but I'm surprised anyone had a copy of this!) I have the video for"How Do I Get Close" on 1 of my bazillion tapes from the 80's, I'd just have to find it.
The blonde young man in the video is one of Dave's songs, I think. I think he's supposed to be Ray's character - younger.

Nobody wtites a song like Ray Davies and no band rivals the KinKs, they are Not Like Everybody Else! God save the KinKs!

I think I read somewhere that this song was inspired by the birth of the EU.

Didnt even know there was a video!
Davies gotta stop using songs with Days in the title - you got Young and innocent days, Days, Down all the days (till 1992!)

Must've been difficult for Dave, his elder brother taking over his band (Ravens)
Both are pretty good songwriters, Ray more prolific howsoever
