Well....love it...But eh...Bryan Ferry...Especially Ladytron, in every dreamhome a heartache and mother of Pearl. But also a different genre. Love love love Kinks.
England's Greatest Ever Songwriter, no argument there. Richard Thompson his greatest English challenger. Brian Wilson, Warren Zevon and Neil Young are also in the mix as best to walk the earth.
As an American, It's really unbelievable to me how many great bands came out of the UK during the British Invasion. When I put lists together in my head of my favorite bands, the top 5 are all British as well as 9 of the top 10. I've loved the Kinks for close to half a century. To this day, I still feel like they're the most underrated band ever. They may have been overshadowed by The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, etc.., but to many of us who know their music well, they're just as good or better. Unbelievable songwriting and harmonies. God Save the Kinks!
I’m amazed how many big hits they had I’ve only just discovered they sang many classics I recognised, probably my favourite band now, I’m British and I never knew about them by name

Love the Kinks, this beautiful track is about my Dad! Never poorly, then Had an aggressive, uncurable, cancer. I believe it was from toxic water during his travels in WW!!, RIP, Love you Lots xx
Yeap! And how strange that no authoritarian mastiff, a member of the intolerant sect "B", has yet appeared to bark at you for the simple fact of daring to verbalize what you think and utter such vilified ignominy... 😁 GSTK.
My favourite group from the sixties ,this is my husband and my song 🌹 we have been together since 1967 and had a great life together loved kinks so much best group ever Shirley h Darlington England 💝✌️🌹😘✌️
I will be burying my father in law to this song Tuesday thank you Arthur Pearce a truly lovely gentleman right to the end, great tune to celebrate your life, gonna miss you mate 💙
I share those thoughts, my husband and I met in our mid 70s , we were both widowed after spending years caring for our respective spouses . We met in 2017, and we married in a beautiful ceremony , in September 2018. those precious times we had were the best of my life, just short of three years. He said we were each Gods gift to each other , I miss him terribly. John Hutt Baggs 1944-2021 .
@@edmondhankiewicz5518J'adore les Kinks. La richesse de leur répertoire, leur cheminement musical varié, les paroles marquées par la finesse du regard de Ray Davies sur le monde comme sur lui-même en font mon groupe préféré. Old fan for ever
Words fail me for many things in love. Nevertheless, I have always tried to put my love for my wife into words. Once we had an argument and I didn't know what to do. So I put on the single "Days" by the Kinks. My wife understood me without my words. Thank you for the song KINKS!!!
This song brings me back to my teens when my sister and I - we were very close then - would listen to The Kink Kronikles and talk about all the things that made this band's work, and that album particularly, so special. So many happy afternoons spent that way that I'll always hold in my heart. I want to say to the Kinks themselves, "thank you for the days..."
Great comment! After all these years the Kink Kronikles are still one of most very favorite albums. Ray wrote Days about the time one of his sisters moved away to Australia. He knew it aould be likely they would not be together much, or at all after that. He told her "thank you for being my sister". Anyone not familiar with what tremendous talent the Kinks were in the 60s, would do well to check this double album out. The band was virtually blackmailed the last half of that decade in the States. Ray Davies, still one of the best story tellers in rock!
I've been to more concerts than I can count but the gold star goes to The Kinks for their concert in The National Stadium in Dublin. Their rapport with the audience was amazing. The place rocked.
I was a child in the 60's and to me, no song sums up the atmosphere of the 60's better than this one. Lightfooted but wistful, only the Kinks. They are 20th century troubadours.
I always loved this song so much. Remembered when this song came out in 1968, it swept me of my feet immediately. 💖 I was 14 years old and just allowed going to discotheques with my 3 years older brother who really disliked to take his younger sister. ut men, did we have some great times. (Ha, I think my parents thought we both would behave and looking out for each other. Ok, we did look out for each other.......😉
My ex was 11 years older than I am and a huge Kinks fan. He introduced me to their music and the wonderful talent that is Mr Ray Davies - so that was one good thing that came out of the relationship ; ) This is my favourite - pure class.
l always cry when l hear this it reminds me of my old home in dereham Norfolk l did not want to leave that home! it had a big woods off my back garden!
Love this song, so simple but powerful. You don't need complex riffs or weird chords to get through to people And I reckon Dave looks feminine enough here for me to crush on him 🥰😁
If they were not banned in America from roughly 1966 until 1970 these gentlemen would have been more popular then the Beatles. Ray Davies is the best storyteller I know in rock music. Total innovators these dudes. Play anything. Greatest rock band ever
Should have been a number one single...has everything The Kinks are famous for - melody, loss and yearning, a slightly lazy Ray vocal and in built nostalgia that even now in 2022 is timeless and fresh sounding....
This is one band that, despite all their success (and believe me there was a lot) , they stayed so very true to their roots.. Something to remember. So Ray Davies & the rest of the Kinks. I for one thank you for THE DAYS ! ! Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)
Agreed Ray is one of the best song writers ever!! Just have to qualify that earlier comment: Jesus Christ is no fake. The Greatest teacher to ever walk the Earth. ......and He's coming back soon. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; [4] he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away. " Rev. 21 Verses 1 to 4
Tha.nk god for The Kinks and all their fantastic music * listen to it over and over * love " Days" nostalgic and beautiful * epic band Days and music we will never have again thank you Kinks love ya💕
I lost the woman I had been with for 25 years. I know that she is no more but if she were this song would well express my feelings and I would want her to hear it.
I've always been a mad Kinks fan. Had a playlist playing a bunch of their songs as well as some other similar bands like The Troggs and The Easybeats. It was playing in the background for a good hour then this song came on and it completely grabbed me. Never had a song do that to me.
My favourite group from the sixties,bought all there records ,this is our special record ,we met in 1967,and still married,thank you for our memory, Shirley h Darlington england 😁
Ladies and Gentlemen the best song writer to walk the Earth.
YES! - along with P.F. SLOAN!
Well....love it...But eh...Bryan Ferry...Especially Ladytron, in every dreamhome a heartache and mother of Pearl. But also a different genre. Love love love Kinks.
Him, Brian Wilson and barry gibb wow wow wow
England's Greatest Ever Songwriter, no argument there. Richard Thompson his greatest English challenger. Brian Wilson, Warren Zevon and Neil Young are also in the mix as best to walk the earth.

Give me The Kinks over The Beatles and The Rolling Stones any day! 😊

I completely agree!
❤
@@mjtigerfangmeans youre young and thats good for you!😅
If this was written by Beatles this would have 250 million views and be praised as greatest song ever written
People respond too strongly, both in the positive and in the negative, to the Beatles. And the Kinks deserve more attention than they get.
Yes, it's right up there with In My Life!
because they are √uwish
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Beatles, but that is so true lol
Kinks are on a par imho
Ray Davies = Genius
Kinks still my favourite group love ray and dave since 1964❤❤anne Darlington ❤❤❤
You're the original G
Me too.
Ray Davies is for sure a genius ! And the Kinks are such an incredible band !
You are so right, Ray is much too much underrated artist
The most beautiful song I've ever heard about accepting loss of a loved one!
Thank you Dave for 47 years of happy marriage and 51 years together RIP my darling. Lynn xx
David Bowie said there is no such thing as a bad Kinks song.
Yes i feel the same...
They're a musician's band, for sure.
I guess, I agree with David B. 😉
Ray is special
Very true.
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day, believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you, believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day, believe me
Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's all right
Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me
I wish today could be tomorrow
The night is dark, it just brings sorrow, let it wait
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day, believe me
Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's all right
Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me
Eeh
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day, believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that shines on you, believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day, believe me
Days
Writer: Ray Davis
Thanks for lyrics here 👏❤️💋🥳👍
Had it played at my Dad's funeral, in the woodland.
That is so sweet
I've earmarked it for my own funeral. Not too soon I hope LOL.
Perfect choice - and I'm sorry for the loss of your father.
If my old man doesn't que this song up I'm doing it for him at his funeral.
Makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. a beautiful song
My dad passed away recently. This song says as much as any song can about the feelings of loss and celebration
I agree i played at my dads funeral
Same reminds me of the park hotel me dad loved the kinks waterloo sunset for chilly xxx❤ gbnf
This song sums up my life with my late wife. The love of my life love you always.
Das war die Gruppe meines Mannes ich hoffe,dass er es im Himmel hört
I love you Dave!
Love the Kinks, this beautiful track is about my Dad! Never poorly, then Had an aggressive, uncurable, cancer. I believe it was from toxic water during his travels in WW!!, RIP, Love you Lots xx
Went to a funeral yesterday of a real North Londoner , Arsenal fan and one time tube driver . Spot on that he chose this !
The Kinks are the best band of all time.
Exactly!
Yeap! And how strange that no authoritarian mastiff, a member of the intolerant sect "B", has yet appeared to bark at you for the simple fact of daring to verbalize what you think and utter such vilified ignominy... 😁
GSTK.
Just as beautiful in 2024 as it was in 1968. Man, the band rolled out so many Classics ❤
A beautiful song. To me he is singing about death. Only Ray Davis could write something this moving.
I totally agree
Absolutely!
About a great person met in a far away past?
Was it about his sister Renee, when she died of rheumatic heart disease?
@@lucyfoster4082Ray wrote Days about his sister Rosie leaving the UK for Australia
My favorite Kinks song...
Mine, too!
Just a wonderful song, Ray is among the greatest songwriters in all history.
For my Mam and my Dad, my Daughter and my Son.
Played at my wife's funeral 14/11/2008 , much enjoyed by all who came and a few tears too .RIP SUE X
A golden era. The Beatles, the stones etc. The kinks are my favourites. Great melodic tunes that linger.
My favourite group from the sixties ,this is my husband and my song 🌹 we have been together since 1967 and had a great life together loved kinks so much best group ever Shirley h Darlington England 💝✌️🌹😘✌️

Classic Kinks. one of the best. He is a truly great songwriter
This should be dedicated to ALL OUR MUMS, who gave us life, and protected us when we were kids! Dont you think? Thanks mum .RIP. ❤
Days is one of my favorite songs ! Ray Davies wrote it,who else? :) Ray was a mastet! ❤ And a great person. :) - jon fisher
Reminds me of my husband who sadly passed away and the memories that we shared
I hope this beautiful song helps. . .

Ray Davies' smile around 1:06 is possibly the most impossibly charming and loveable thing a human face has ever done
A golden classic!
And brings a tear to my eyes when I listen to this song, because remembering those who are sadly no longer with us.
How could someone be so nostalgic at such a young age. What an amazing song, timeless.
The only song i know that tells intelligent words about lost love. Thank you, Kinks!
This is the sweetest lovesong ever. I think everyone knows what it stands for.
I'm a huge Kinks fan and this is my favorite song of theirs.

An unbelievable beauty just like so many Kinks songs. I’m not frightened of this world believe me. Yes he is. The song is meant to be a healing balm.
A gentle , pleasant little masterpiece, very rarely played or listened to - " it coulda been a contender ... ! "
one song I want at my funeral, beautiful song
The kinks who else pure gold
Remember it when it came out. One their best.
A great song and one of my favourites.
One of my Kinks' very favourites songs
I loved Kirsty McColl singing this too . 🤍
A truly beautiful way to remember a lost love
We don’t need the Beatles to say what a great song this is listen to it at least twice a year
I meant twice a day
Thankyou so much for this song Ray🙏❤🌻

God I love this man
My God! This had 2b one of the greatest songs ever!
Now, how beautiful is that.
Days, Waterloo sunset, Winchester cathedral, peek-a-boo ... a fabulous bucolic interlude of songs during the frantic Haute-pop period.
Its in my head and On my lips every single day, believe me
