  • One of the great story songs of all time, especially for a guy who is entering his middle age.....Ray always writes songs that seem to be directed at the average person.

    thank you for posting.

  • Good to see the brothers together at this point still making music!

  • sounds good man. I like most of the the earlier stuff, "Walters" a favorite of mine. Picture Book, Wonder boy, Two Sisters, Days. He wrote so many good songs that are perfect and different from anything else back then. Cheers!

  • Man, I really love this song!

  • @tyleryesta1 When you are in the US and have Britany Spears, you can't go much further downhill! lol. Really, the Kinks have been known to put out quality stuff, and I happen to really like this song. Like you say, to each his own. maybe not the best, but it resonates with me, anyway. I'm glad they made it. If I ever get over the pond, I'll buy you a beer and we can dissect it! What are your favorites?

  • Well I just tried to close my eyes and listen to it and I find myself still cringing at some of the lines. He wrote some amazing songs after this period so I feel like it was something he forced out during a writers block. To each there own I suppose.

  • @tyleryesta1 The video is horrible, but the song is actually quite good. All the Kinks songs are quite good. Hello you, Hello me. comes to mind. (Rock and Roll Fantasy) This is just a really bad video. The song is excellent.

  • @MUSIChannel91 This is NUMBER 2 best love song. The WHO Let My Love Open The Door (unplugged), is NUMBER 1. People grow and they change, and they don't always stay punk rock or whatever. Ray Davies is a genius, and has proved it over and over. He was good in the 60s and is good now. Times and people change. If you decide not to, then keep listening to the 60s stuff. Don't badmouth the Kinks. I prefer "Superman" to all of their songs. what do I know. I like ALL Kinks music.

  • Ebullient.

  • Middle age Dudes like the attention from a younger lady. Makes em think they may still be attractive in some way or other besides getting older ...but face reality....

  • wow this is crap! there comes a time when every band begins to lose what made them great, and need to give up writing before they start releasing shite like this. every band's popularity will perish over time, and bands like the kinks needed to accept it much earlier. Ray should of had a solo career for writing rubbish like this so that is doesnt tarnish the rep of an outstanding 60s rock band
