One of the great songwriters. Doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He should be right up there with Lennon/McCartney & Jagger/Richards when you look at the UK's best.

Tearflowingly intense, I would add...I never succeed to keep my eyes dry after the line about Greta Garbo....

No doubt about it. As much recognition as the Kinks and Ray Davies do get, Ray's talent as a songwriter is SO under-rated. The more I listen, the more I love. Incredibly great!

.One thing for sure, Ray gets the acclaim from other great songwriters. I've heard Costello praise him as well as Gifford & Tilbrook.
I grew up with the Kinks and must say on vinyl or on stage...simply the best. Great filmaking Darren...been a fan of yours for sometime! Have a good one!

As a 2nd generation Kinks fan, my first album of theirs was the live one they'd published in 1980. It was on that album that I'd first heard this song and it all seemed so touching. Both the subject, tender lyrics and melody seemed to strike a nerve and to this day I don't exactly know why. Thanks for teh upload.

This one's a killer! Whoa, some good shit, dudes! Somewhat period related but history lesson might not hurt anyone.. Finnish cover by Juice Leskinen is a killer one! It captures the feeling f the original one and transfers it to finnish atmosphere! A jewel!
