For me, that scene at the end of the episode with Tony leaving his sisters' house and walking down the street alone sums up the whole series and James Gandolfini himself in some strange way... Rest in peace maestro 1961-2013.
The first two are better than the last two.. Just my opinion. The Cars were so awesome, and you could tell it was a song by them, just from one or two seconds of listening.
"I won't take all that they hand me down..." LOVE THAT LINE. What a masterpiece that song, so far ahead of its time. It is fine now to say we are neurodivergent or different, many of us now feel that kind of odd pride at being well, who we are, because everyone else is taken. Of not being overly conformist at least. But in 1966 it was visionary and brave. Kinks > Beatles if you ask me, criminally underrated.
They have a vast catalog. Some albums are better than others but The Kinks have remained relevant more than any other band. I highly recommend their last album, as a group, "Down to the Bone". It is all live with either a studio audience or music venues. This sounds like the version from "Down to the Bone", which was also used on an episode of "The Sopranos". The Kinks were featured a few times on that series.
Ray Davies is like Lou Reed. John Cale said you never had to work out what a Lou Reed song was about. Same with Ray. He hits the spot so many times with his songs. Waterloo Sunset. Autumn Almanac.
The sopranos took you everywhere, with the music they played. I can think of 5 different times I went searching on youtube for music I heard on the show. Remember the song "hey , I saved the world today"?? Or "up in the club" Or "the dolphins"?? Those are 3 that I can think of. Michael imporioli was in charge of a lot of music for that show
I didn’t fully appreciate how great a guitar player Dave was until maybe 20 years ago. I tried duplicating his riffs and solos, and never could play them at full speed. He was terrific in his prime.
Yes, because they were on a higher level of consciousness then, and the System programmed it out of us.... But we are coming back.. We will be there once again.. And when we come around to realize that, it's the epitome of life.. and it's the most amazing thing in this world is life. Amen man, 🙏
I just turned 30 this past year, and I've just recently discovered this song. This has more emotion than any music being put out today, and the song is older than I am. "This is why Rock-N-Roll shall never die!"
I can't believe I've missed this song so long. Had to look it up, came out in 66, I was listening to rock by 73, my newest favorite song on earth. Radio will not play songs this long very often it interferes with commercials.
These guys were my Dads Favorite ...i see why...holy shit, just very powerful and meaningful at a low point in my life, and my dad is Gone, lord i miss him, i love you dad, this song makes me break down. 😔 But its so good
Love this live version of this song, I'm in my 60's and I just came across this song recently, it speaks to me, what a powerful and rebellious song it is love this!! Definitely a song for these times of today, we need it more than ever now!!!!
64, don't know how I missed this it's my newest favorite song. I didn't take it as rebellion just not like everyone else. And don't want to be.This hits home for me I never really fit in and what I see out there most of it I don't want to fit in.
Ich liebe es.... die Erinnerung an Zeiten in denen ich einfach nur dieses Lied hörte und pures Glück meinen ganzen Körper geflutet hat alleine der Gedanke daran .... Gänsehaut am ganzen Körper ❤️😘 ich vermisse diese Tage ...
This song, in the original version was the downfall of my youth as I thought I was special and invincible. But after coming out of those dark years still breathing it's taken on a much more humble meaning and sends shivers down my spine. Bless Ray Davis, fucking genius 🙏
Ray Davies was a songwriter who indulged in irony. I'm glad you came around. This song is not, in fact, about not being like everybody else; it's about being like everybody else.
amazing how a song can change meaning as you get older, its funny how the songs full of bravado when you are young actually sound like humility once the years have taken a few layers off
DoctorCena I completely agree and Dave Davies guitar is simply brilliant. It is hard to believe this song was a 60's song as sounds like a very modern rock song. When I first heard this on The Sopranos I thought it was a cover as too heavy and modern to be The Kinks but I was wrong and Ray Davies does a great job with the vocal.
Was never much of a Kinks fan, mainly because my ex loved them, but I have to say this is a very good song. Heard it on The Sopranos, the scene when Tony pushes Janice’s buttons and then casually strolls away! LOL! This song fit that scene so well. I was floored.
+Mees "i wonder what's french for i grew up without a mother.". (Tony's Sister turns homicidal) Tony knew his Sister better than everyone else and showed her anger management classes were bullshit.
+Arse Robinson I dont think that was the whole point, there was also the idea of making himself feel better about not getting help for his anger issues and probably some more stuff.
+wouter038 That's the way I took it, too. He's always resisting help and in a constant battle with himself over every little thing and I think in a way at that moment he was jealous of Janice, or maybe he just didn't believe her. So he hit "below the belt" (which he's accused her of doing before) and brought her own child and her own hypocrisy to test just to prove if only to himself that anger management is bullshit. But it is absolutely self-serving on his own part. He has to believe that other people are just as bad as he is, otherwise his own crisis of conscience is actually winning the battle. He HAS to believe people cannot improve and that they are just the way they are.
One of the best bands to have ever came from blighty. So many absolute classics. Songs are truly timeless and relatable to wvery generation since unlike many other popular bands of that era. Long live the kinks
@@tracygamble8073 you have great appreciation for music. I can remember from my childhood hearing all the old standards Bacharach and David as well as classical
@@ciaranchapman1099 I saw the State of Confusion tour at the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1983. My mom let me go because my friend's mother took us down there on the El & Broad Street Line since she didn't drive or own a car. It was a great night. What was your 1st concert? You take care 🙂
Ray's vocals on this version simply elevate it to another level. He may not be the most technical vocalist, but he conveys a lot of emotion!! WTF WHAT A ROAR!!🤘 Edit: especially here 3:24
I used the lyrics to this song today with my EFL class in Paris. We covered phrasal verbs, the use of "though," and the expression "go to town." It went over fairly well, and more young people were introduced to this great band.
Dave singing and writing this isn't it ? Probably why it is structured with more guitar soloing and is longer than the recorded version, Dave was a bit more the guitar man wasn't he? Encapsulates perhaps the differences between the two of them.
This live song recordment is so genius. Amazing. I love the feelings in the sound of the voice as hell! This is the one of the best songs because of performance and feeling!!! My top song ever.
This song was used absolutely perfectly in The Sopranos, with all killing,extortion,etc. it was Soprano at his most malcontent evilest moment in the entire series,IMHO.
This song was the reason that scene was as powerful as it was. I started reading your comment thinking it was my own lol. The Sopranos music /scene selection was epic. Will never be replicated. This, season 4 episode 1 opening scene and ending scene Timezones world descruction, gives me chills to this day, Annie lennox Little Bird, I could go and on...
Tony beats up the bartender at the Bing for like the third time but goes so far he does permanent damage and the guy quits. Then he provokes Janice into a fit of rage by making fun of her lost son, ruining the progress she's made in anger management class.
this song got me ..... in a time when i needed to hear it... Thank God for that moment that college radio exists that doesnt play out the played out BS on main radio
This is sublime and the apotheosis of the Kinks. For all Ray’s superbly witty lyrics, it is only when brother Dave plays the electric guitar like a real seventies rock star that perfect fusion. Morrissey needed Marr, Liam needed Noel. Can’t live with you, can’t live without you!
One hell of an Excellent band the Kinks are . I got to see them when they were in Florida promoting their Sleepwalker album. They were so frigging good I was amazed. And it just confirmed why I was a big fan of theirs. I give a bow and raise my glass to you all gentlemen.
Brilliant live version, glad I found it. In the Eighties when most of my friends were listening to the Police, the Jam and the like ( great bands of course) but I had discovered the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Searchers, The Kinks and was buying and enjoying those albums. Timeless classics is what they are.
Les Kinks sont un des meilleurs groupes de rock du monde.Cette chanson est extraordinairement belle et magique.J'aimerai l'écouter, à fond ,au sommet de l'Everest.
Only found this the other day. 2024. Played it to my hubs of 30 plus years. He says 'The Kinks? I used to know Ray Davis back in the day. Great lad.'. Well, you can still be surprised after an age. 😂 Brilliant song. Have on loop.
@@DumstigB Critics loved them, but they sold only a moderate number of records. They were successful, but their talent far surpassed their commercial success. That seems to happen all too often - the most talented musicians, the most gifted songwriters, don't always achieve the level of commercial access we feel they're due. At least they influenced _thousands_ of bands and remain beloved by everybody with more than a casual interest in music. There's artists like that in every decade - in the 70s it was Big Star, in the 80s The Replacements, in the 90s Sloan.
@@WELLRESPECTEDAPE Shit, that's more than I thought. Fair enough, they were successful both critically _and_ commercially. There is justice in this world.
It seemed like in the late 70s, early 80s The Kinks toured every year... must have seen them 6 or 8 times. They were sooo good, live. Damnation, I miss those days!
I won't take all that they hand me down And make out a smile, though I wear a frown And I'm not take it all lying down 'Cause once I get started I go to town 'Cause I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else And I don't want to ball about like everybody else And I don't want to live my life like everybody else And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else 'Cause I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else But darling, you know that I love you true Do anything that you want me to Confess all my sins like you want me to There's one thing that I will say to you I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else And I don't want to ball about like everybody else And I don't want to live my life like everybody else And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else 'Cause I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else Like everybody else Like everybody else Like everybody else Like everybody else If you all want me to settle down Slow up and stop all my running 'round Do everything like you want me to There's one thing that I will say to you I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else And I don't want to ball about like everybody else And I don't want to live my life like everybody else And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else 'Cause I'm not like everybody else I'm not like everybody else Like everybody else (like everybody else) Like everybody else (like everybody else) Like everybody else (like everybody else) Like everybody else
You quoted the original lyrics from 1966, however, the lyrics in this version are slightly different. The Kinks reworked this song in the 90s and this version was released on their album To the Bone.
Superamos 31 Davies ....yeah, but it might have frightened the hippies, ....Great song!....the Cry did a cover of this tune in the new wave era of the early 1980's
Says it all ! Live your own life
True.
For me, that scene at the end of the episode with Tony leaving his sisters' house and walking down the street alone sums up the whole series and James Gandolfini himself in some strange way... Rest in peace maestro 1961-2013.
We miss you T.

No argument from me on that one!

How? Their music is everywhere.
Indeed
raul duke no their not
yeah they‘re great!

Great song to listen to while strolling down the street after going to Sunday dinner and calling out your hippie sister for abandoning her child.
sacre bleu where is me mama
Omg that is very specific
Hahaha 😂🤣
Or, blowing up some shit. Real relaxing song.
Sounds like something Tony would do
58 Years ago and this song still uplifts the soul!
First time hearing this song. Maybe one of the best intros ever. Great song
I’m 74 years old and have never heard this song before. It’s great and a worthy addition to The Kinks catalogue.

I'm 71 and this was on the B side of the Sunny Afternnon 45.
I wore both sides gray! Lol
Glad you're diggin it
I think Ray actually wrote this for someone else (Animals? ) but they were not interested. The Kinks started to play it in concerts. Great song!
i never knew this melody existed
You have 2 yrs on me. And same, I've never heard this before.
The Kinks sang their songs with such conviction. I believe every word. Great band.
Ray Davies is like Lou Reed. John Cale said you never had to work out what a Lou Reed song was about. Same with Ray. He hits the spot so many times with his songs. Waterloo Sunset. Autumn Almanac.
@SophieLovesSunsets So true
Because they sung in their own accents, unlike most bands of that time, who mimiced American singers.
This live version gives me Goosebumps, its better than the studio version by miles
which is rare in general... but definitely true in the case of this song
@@robinhood2550 You are listening to the live version right now
@@robinhood2550 I sent to the US. To the Bone. The UK version doesn’t include this track
Ray can write as good a pop tune as anyone but when Kinks rock they are unmatched. Love them boys

So powerful. The greatest hymn of individualism ever.
That minute and few second guitar intro has more soul than a lot of modern singer's entire discography
Are we comparing singing with guitars?
Verdade
I am just discovering this song. I was instantly hooked. I was watching a podcast that uses this song as the outro.
Thank you Sopranos for bringing me here
I Wonder what is french canadien for "where is my maman ???"

just came here from there! 😄

Ray's writing and Dave's guitar playing together are pure gold
YES this band ROCKS
I didn’t fully appreciate how great a guitar player Dave was until maybe 20 years ago. I tried duplicating his riffs and solos, and never could play them at full speed. He was terrific in his prime.
I loved The Kinks when I was 9 yrs. old. Still do and I just turned 64. Thanks guys!
Dave Davies is one of the great unsung guitar players. Heart, melody and power
👍👍👍👍👍👍yeah indeed I fulltime agree to it!
Dave’s guitar playing gives me goosebumps every time.
Yes indeed! I remember getting his solo albums and found his lead playing to be extremely musical and right up there with other noted guitar players.
I love this song by the Kinks. It talks about individualism! Not being a "human robot"
Or clone! Just be yourself and be proud of who you are!

Tony beats up the bartender at the Bing for like the third time but goes so far he does permanent damage and the guy quits. Then he provokes Janice into a fit of rage by making fun of her lost son, ruining the progress she's made in anger management class.
Thenowhereman42 I understand why he did it though. Janice is a bullshiter
Real music during a forgotten time, beyond perfection !
Saw these guys back in Detroit. Great concert! Highly underrated band!
What an absolutely amazing song.

Best version of an epic song.
Cameron Tungate Dave at the Bottom Line live set the standard.
I prefer Jimmy & the Boys' version.
What version is this? Trying to find on Spotify.
@@mikedc81 Me too! Did you ever find it on Spotify? (or anywhere else, buyable)
@@mikedc81 dave davies, album: live at the bottom line, on spotify
RIP James, you will always be missed.
Another great song of Ray. And beautiful guitar play of Dave. Oh how I wish to see the Kinks one more time… 🥲
Their best song and all their songs are gold.
it is their best overlooked song
my favourite song by them
One of the best live bands EVER! Great show for sure!!!
First ..must be The KINKs ... and Then... Led Zep ... to me for entire of my life .
A really great version of this song. Love the guitar on this!
I'm just surprised it did not get enough air play. Great song! awesome7 _ Rocks_ like not everbody else! Thanks for posting this gem.
this song got me ..... in a time when i needed to hear it... Thank God for that moment that college radio exists that doesnt play out the played out BS on main radio
i'm listening this song every night. It keeps me motivated to be myself in this world..
All you have is....
This is sublime and the apotheosis of the Kinks. For all Ray’s superbly witty lyrics, it is only when brother Dave plays the electric guitar like a real seventies rock star that perfect fusion. Morrissey needed Marr, Liam needed Noel. Can’t live with you, can’t live without you!
One hell of an Excellent band the Kinks are . I got to see them when they were in Florida promoting their Sleepwalker album. They were so frigging good I was amazed. And it just confirmed why I was a big fan of theirs. I give a bow and raise my glass to you all gentlemen.
Просто волшебная песня. Кинкс - родоначальники многих стилей рок-музыки. Жалко, что их у нас практически не знает никто.
Знаем)
Мне кажется на Social Distortion они оказали существенное влияние
Это почему не знаем ?
Такую чушь пишешь, дурачок.
I do t know what you just said, but I bet I agree. 🖖
Sopranos didn’t bring me here, because I’m not like everybody else.
Gffgghgfghhhb mood

Brilliant live version, glad I found it. In the Eighties when most of my friends were listening to the Police, the Jam and the like ( great bands of course) but I had discovered the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Searchers, The Kinks and was buying and enjoying those albums. Timeless classics is what they are.
Les Kinks sont un des meilleurs groupes de rock du monde.Cette chanson est extraordinairement belle et magique.J'aimerai l'écouter, à fond ,au sommet de l'Everest.
The lead guitar playing in this song (Dave Davies?) is _fantastic_ Top notch.
RIP James Gandolfini
RIP Harpo
😔
And RiP Tony Soprano
Tony ( King ) soprano
Only found this the other day. 2024. Played it to my hubs of 30 plus years.
He says 'The Kinks? I used to know Ray Davis back in the day. Great lad.'. Well, you can still be surprised after an age. 😂
Brilliant song. Have on loop.
Not a Sopranos fan, but what a great version of this song. I don't usually choose live versions, but wow. One of the greatest bands of all time.
God save The Kinks!
Most underrated band in rock and roll history!
They are very highly rated, where have you been?
@@DumstigB Critics loved them, but they sold only a moderate number of records. They were successful, but their talent far surpassed their commercial success.
That seems to happen all too often - the most talented musicians, the most gifted songwriters, don't always achieve the level of commercial access we feel they're due.
At least they influenced _thousands_ of bands and remain beloved by everybody with more than a casual interest in music. There's artists like that in every decade - in the 70s it was Big Star, in the 80s The Replacements, in the 90s Sloan.
"Underrated" the most overused word in you tube music videos comments. Underrated for what and by whom? We don't know.
@@rdrrr The Kinks have sold over 50 million records- under rated??
@@WELLRESPECTEDAPE Shit, that's more than I thought. Fair enough, they were successful both critically _and_ commercially. There is justice in this world.
WORDS CANNOT DO JUSTICE TO THE EVER GLORY OF THE MASTERS OF THE BLESSED MUSICIANS GENIUSES KNOWN AS THE ALMIGHTY KINKS
It seemed like in the late 70s, early 80s The Kinks toured every year... must have seen them 6 or 8 times. They were sooo good, live. Damnation, I miss those days!
I won't take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I'm not take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started I go to town
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
But darling, you know that I love you true
Do anything that you want me to
Confess all my sins like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
If you all want me to settle down
Slow up and stop all my running 'round
Do everything like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else
pretty sure i don't want to get destroyed like everybody else was a verse in the first chorus
You quoted the original lyrics from 1966, however, the lyrics in this version are slightly different. The Kinks reworked this song in the 90s and this version was released on their album To the Bone.
This is the best performance of this Kinks song ever . It wasrelegated to a b side ofSunny Afternoon and should have been an A side in its own right .
Superamos 31 Davies in them days B sides had to be great in order to make the money
Superamos 31 Davies ....yeah, but it might have frightened the hippies, ....Great song!....the Cry did a cover of this tune in the new wave era of the early 1980's
its better than any song on face to face. one of their best ever
Not just 1, not just 2, but THREE awesome guitar solos from Dave, with the best coming last!
Thankyou Ray, Dave, Kinks. You were truly a great band.
I had completely forgot about this song by the Kinks. I love it! The words are so true! Accept yourself and just be you! You are GREAT!
