I love Lucius's take on this tune, a haunting reminder of how vital Dave Davies was in the Kinks mystique. And they perform it so well, enough to bring Dave to tears. I came back to it tonight after last hearing it years ago, while enjoying a Lagunitas brew and wondered if Dave ever heard it, such a rediscovered oddity from the obscure Lola vs Powerman LP, a track I hope lives forever. This vid is a gem, guaranteed to change your mood. I doubt that many in that crowd were born when Dave Davies recorded 'Strangers', yet the audience is captivated by Lucius and their magical performance down in Petaluma CA.
I am tired of all the idiots - at almost all live music these days - who feel the need to shout "WOOOOO!" at every pause in a performance. Why does your enthusiasm trump my focus on the music?
"And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today, we'll take what we want and give the rest away". Hell of a line.The Kinks are a criminally underrated band. Good to see a deep cut done justice.
G DiMo nice try?? As I was trying to do what? Maybe what you say is true. I’ve never been to a Kinks show. All I was doing was reporting what I’d heard about his reaction to Lucius’ version. No agenda of deceit
I’m a huge Kinks Ray Davis fan. I always thought it was funny that my favorite song of theirs would be a song written by Dave. I don’t make that choice lightly. Good cover love the their vibe.
that is pretty much one of the most simple but best, fresh, awesome GOOD VIBE song /performance I heard in age... and these girls voices together combines perfectly, like WTF WOW.
I am watching 'Big Sky' the TV series and they played this song, 'Strangers' at the end, I fell in love with it. I never hear this song by the, 'The Kinks', Lucius you are both phenomenal singers, you are now on my play list.
Beautiful! Harmony is wonderful. Challenge is wonderful. The bringing me back to India via this certain song since Darjeeling is really hard. Miss you Miss India!!!
WHOA...Ray Davies has asked me to tell you he enthusiastically approves this cover. Said Ray,: "After hearing THIS, I very well might never play this song again because I couldn't do it better."
mergerist You had me until "more talented". Awesome cover and I hope they play it opening for the Decemberists in Berkeley tomorrow. But please, Dave more talented than Ray? I love the Kinks and both of the brothers, but that's just absurd. But I'll give you better looking for sure!
I just hope Dave Davies got wind of this and heard it. For he and his brother Ray have managed to touch a lot of people with their songs, many who were not even born when the tunes were released.
here from 2022, i saw them perform this at hardly strictly in sf, and they brought out marcus mumford and it was amazing. as they all had individual mics, they were really able to belt some of their high notes
I always knew that if you gave the cast of The Simple Life long enough, they would reinvent themselves and teach young ppl about the Kinks. Everyone laughed at me.
I'm here because of your song with Bleachers: Wake Me. Such an awesome version! But I can't find it on UA-cam 😥 Listening through all your other amazing music now ☺️
Where are you going, I don't mind I've killed my world and I've killed my time So where do I go? What will I see? I see many people coming after me So where are you going to, I don't mind If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die So I will follow you wherever you go If your offered hand is still open to me Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one So you've been where I've just come From the land that brings losers on So we will share this road we walk And mind our mouths and beware our talk 'Til peace we find, tell you what I'll do All the things I own I will share with you And, if I feel tomorrow like I feel today We'll take what we want and give the rest away Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one Holy man and holy priest This love of life makes me weak at my knees And when we get there, make your play 'Cause soon I fear you're gonna carry us away And a promised lie you made us believe For many men there is so much grief And my mind is proud but it aches with rage And, if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one
I love those moments when you realize there's brilliance to still be discovered.
I have watched this video countless times, and for reasons I can't explain, viewing it is always an emotional experience for me.
Ever time I watch this I smile ! Trying to work through some really bad depression & songs like this help. Bless you & bless Dave Davies.
Hey man. Shit sucks sometimes. But you are loved.

I've watched this over 30 times and it still makes me tear up.
This is the best cover of this Dave Davies song I've ever heard...
wye oak does a pretty dern good one. but this one definitely can cut the onions and choke a person up. those harmonies are breathtaking.
Thank you. . . my sentiments. . . I must research these 2 - hope Dave has been exposed to this. . . certain he'd get goose-bumps like I did :)
Dave would be very proud.
I’ve been coming back and listening to this for 6 years and it’s still as beautiful as the first time I heard it💚
Excellent cover! Beautiful vibe
I discovered this video for the first time. It made me cry. What a heartbreaking version of this Song. I'm so touched. So beautiful. ❤
Yes, they put a lot into it. It's onne of the best covers along with Nora Jones.
Great way to touch your fans hearts and love: get in the middle of them and sing! I loved being a part of this with you Lucius
This version of this song was me and my wife’s wedding song
Was one of the seating songs for our wedding as well.
So beautiful- thank you for sharing! Bless you in life 😊
Its the best
My wife and I. Strange how you put yourself before your wife bragging you are not two you are one.
@LSBBD Quiet, troll!
the way they sang the last line... "two" while harmonizing and "one" in unison I love that shit!
+Cody Abel Right?! Chills.
Totally agree. Lovely illustration of the lyric.
If it wasn't for you, I would've never appreciated it the way it should have been. Like!
I am tired of all the idiots - at almost all live music these days - who feel the need to shout "WOOOOO!" at every pause in a performance. Why does your enthusiasm trump my focus on the music?
@@camplethargic8 Not that big of a thing to be upset about but I hear ya... I guess............... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow !! Amazing song , perfect performance! ! All respects paid to Dave Davies and the Kinks ! one The most influential Bands of ALL TIME ..
Great performance of this beautiful Kinks song!
Such a beautiful live performance

"And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today, we'll take what we want and give the rest away". Hell of a line.The Kinks are a criminally underrated band. Good to see a deep cut done justice.
Literally brought tears to my eyes
Right there with ya, man. *sniff*
LagunitasBeer Many shed during editing. The power of the performance is outstanding.
Same here mate!!. Cheers from Chile.
from a kinks fan,i just love this
+jimmy higham same feeling here.
I read that Ray Davies said he won’t touch this song again after they did this with it
@@cvisenti haha nice try, it's Dave's song and he does it every show he does
G DiMo nice try?? As I was trying to do what? Maybe what you say is true. I’ve never been to a Kinks show. All I was doing was reporting what I’d heard about his reaction to Lucius’ version. No agenda of deceit
Not even a big kinks fan. AND I LOVE IT!
It's a real delight for the ears, there are voices that go together perfectly.
I love everything about Lucius. They are original in many ways and their unbridled joy at what they do in infectious.
kinks fan all my life, this is an amazing cover wow!!!
when I'm in the right mind, this makes me cry every time.
God I fucking love them.
Beautiful cover of Dave's classic! Thanks for sharing.
I was there that night! Great memories and an incredible cover
Amazing job! This is such a gorgeous song
Amazing, version of one of my favorite Dave Davies tunes. Thank you!
I love that Jess can't stop smiling the entire time. Lucius are so goddamn good.

They are flawless.
I've listened to this dozens of times. Always moves me. Just brilliant.
thanks, just a great cover, how many people realise how great the kinks really are.......?
some of us...
The Kinks are one of the best coverable.
Beautiful! Harmony is wonderful. Challenge is wonderful. The bringing me back to India via this certain song since Darjeeling is really hard. Miss you Miss India!!!
Utterly sublime.
Fantastic cover 😎!
I love the way Jess throws her head back and sings with her eyes closed. Reminds me of the little kids singing in "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
Cool to cover an old Kinks tune!
Koolest Kinks Kover!
Outstanding cover and clever video.
Wau!!! Blimey! A great song and you make it even greater!
My favorite band playing my favorite Kinks song
This performance left me speechless, my favourite song reinvented.
I can't believe how great this band is
WHOA...Ray Davies has asked me to tell you he enthusiastically approves this cover. Said Ray,: "After hearing THIS, I very well might never play this song again because I couldn't do it better."
QueerAndUnplugged It's been a month and we still can't believe the awesomeness of this comment … thank you. Cheers!
QueerAndUnplugged Ray Davies never played this song, it`s a Dave Davies song - the better looking and more talented younger brother
mergerist You had me until "more talented". Awesome cover and I hope they play it opening for the Decemberists in Berkeley tomorrow. But please, Dave more talented than Ray? I love the Kinks and both of the brothers, but that's just absurd.
But I'll give you better looking for sure!
maxbobness
Yeah...there's NO way Dave Davies could be characterized as "more talented" than Ray Davies. They're not even on the same planet.
LagunitasBeer
Hey...thanks for your comment. Cheers.
BEST COVER EVER!
listened to this 30+ times, always guts me.
I love how they give emotion to the song. It is so real. Also great collaboration with black pumas recording this.
I've become a huge Lucious fan. Love eem!
My favourite band overnight, sad it took me so long to discover them.
Holy. Shit.
+Qtrfoil right there with ya.
+Qtrfoil exactly!!!
Holy. Shit. /rt
Just so everybody knows - this song is going to be on the deluxe version of their upcoming album, Good Grief. Buy it.
best band i hear last 2 years Lucious is awesome
My new favorite group. Can't wait for the new album.
amazing voices
I love this song with all my heart. -and this only makes me love it 10 times more
I just hope Dave Davies got wind of this and heard it. For he and his brother Ray have managed to touch a lot of people with their songs, many who were not even born when the tunes were released.
Indeed
they are out of this world... incredible
This just beautiful
here from 2022, i saw them perform this at hardly strictly in sf, and they brought out marcus mumford and it was amazing. as they all had individual mics, they were really able to belt some of their high notes
They’re so gifted they’re ❤️ Love
the all do everything percussion amazing band
lovely
Just awesome.
nomadtraveller100 This ones great.Plus the channel is really great.
And only just listening this now? My God where have I been?
An outstanding cover of a beautiful song by a couple of outstandingly talented and beautiful women
just found this today, what an amazing cover.
Been waiting for some thing like this
That was fantastic!
This is just amazing!
I always knew that if you gave the cast of The Simple Life long enough, they would reinvent themselves and teach young ppl about the Kinks. Everyone laughed at me.
I'm here because of your song with Bleachers: Wake Me. Such an awesome version! But I can't find it on UA-cam 😥 Listening through all your other amazing music now ☺️
lagunitas is a small thing. my god how perfect is this...
When I listen to this beautiful, melancholy masterpiece I always think that deep down he wrote it about his brother
New fan, this is brilliant.
We are two...we are one...great singer...from tijuana mexico ...amazing..singers
Great cover!!!
this is amazing!
Incredible.
damn, they look awesome. swayin as one, singing as one.
A transcendent performance.
See at 2:09 that red head girl's display of absolute joy at those harmonies is one of my favourite parts of this.
Where are you going, I don't mind
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
So where do I go? What will I see?
I see many people coming after me
So where are you going to, I don't mind
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
So I will follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand is still open to me
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one
So you've been where I've just come
From the land that brings losers on
So we will share this road we walk
And mind our mouths and beware our talk
'Til peace we find, tell you what I'll do
All the things I own I will share with you
And, if I feel tomorrow like I feel today
We'll take what we want and give the rest away
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one
Holy man and holy priest
This love of life makes me weak at my knees
And when we get there, make your play
'Cause soon I fear you're gonna carry us away
And a promised lie you made us believe
For many men there is so much grief
And my mind is proud but it aches with rage
And, if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one
This. Is. Amazing. Mind blown.
Beautiful.
Ray Davies is bang on
A wonderful version and wish I'd been there
Spine-tingling and simply awesome
Ray writes 'em like no-one else - genius
Great cover, but written by Dave Davies
+timc71 ah, my mistake - Dave was a great writer too
Sir Ray is a genius- but this is written by his brother Dave .
Crowd filming, I like it, nearly as much as I like MAXIMUS - the strongest Ale you can buy without a prescription, as they say.
Spine chilling ,moved me.
Lucius is the coolest!!!
great rendition
Still one of the best covers going around
God damn what a beautiful song…
Not sure how I ended up here, but sure this is good!!
easily in my top 5 live covers
cameraman loves the short one. Me too
WOW.
Didn't know how to pronounce Lagunitas until I saw this video.
