The Kinks were an English rock band formed in London in 1963 by brothers Ray and Dave Davies. They are regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s. The Kinks' music drew from a wide range of influences, including American R&B and rock and roll initially and later adopting British music hall, folk, and country. The band gained a reputation for reflecting English culture and lifestyle, fuelled by Ray Davies' wittily observational writing style. The Kinks and the songs of Ray Davies are now rightfully established as a great British institution. From the opening riff of You Really Got Me, The Kinks’ influence as pioneers in heavy metal, power pop, conceptual albums, and theatrical shows can be detected in much modern music.
This, and much more, can be seen on this UA-cam channel exclusively devoted to these true British originals.

This is the type of sadness that only The Kinks can make beautiful.
The genius of Ray. My absolute favorite Kinks tune.
"And bring you home some wine." Like all good song lines, it needs its context, but that line has been in my head always. Love in the face of adversity. Like today in the pandemic. Tnx Ray.
My favorite too. Ray has the best sense of humor along with his brilliant music.
One of the best, no doubt. How about plastic man & waterloo sunset ? God save the Kinks !
Damn, this song hurts so good. What an incredible band.
“Facing the world ain’t easy, when you haven’t got anything going.”
I appreciate the Kink's understanding and relation to the common man. Not in a dogmatic way, but a critical, insightful, empathetic way
In my opinion the best song in a brilliant album. That is saying something when you consider Lola and Apeman amongst many others. Such a fantistic group.
IMO the entire album is politically charged, class structure, basic human rights, the power of money, etc are all themes touched on in just this album but the entire Kinks discography starting with TVGPS and onward is very politically charged vocally. Father Christmas gimme some money
Strangers IMO
@@benjamindiaz6748 - Yeah, Strangers is my favorite too, but it's tough competition since there are a lot of great songs on the album!
It's hard to choose a favorite, but this is the first one I chose to hear! They are a top 5 band in my eyes!
Powerman hands down for me. You could release that today in 2020 and it would still sound fresh.
Can you believe a lot of people don’t know Ray Davies is the best songwriter on the planet
I thought it was Dave
@markpetersen2469 you thought very wrong
"Get Back in the Line" is one of the best songs in the Kinks cataligue. The album "Lola versus Powerman" is for many of us, The Kinks best ever. All songs are good. Not a single filler as some other of the band s albums.
You have to understand a working man's dilema to 'get' this great song. A day's work depends on you being chosen by the Union man. If he walked past you...your chance of earning a living vanished. As depressing as that.
Always loved this song. Suddenly takes on new meaning when a friend whose kidney transplant didn't work has to get back in line.
Ray Davies was always socially aware of the different classes and wasn't afraid to write about it
The Kinks were banned by the American musicians union from 1966-1969. This song is autobiographically written
@@jeff196330 Not sure. I believe it is a reference to his father who, according to Ray, was the real rock'n'roll star in the family. As fa as I can remember Ray was shocked to see his hero standing in the line
@@nicolagianaroli2024 That sounds true to me. I've not read any of their autobiography's if they have them but I can imagine a musical upbringing with 2 siblings firing on all cylinders like they do.
@@neeps9596 Bottom line lyrics like this explain why the hugely talented Kinks were banned to enter America. Is it by chance that contrary to Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who the Kinks were not buddy buddy with monster such as Jimmy Savile and they have been boycotted? I personally don't think so.
@@nicolagianaroli2024 Banned from America too? WTF lol I need to buy a history book.
One of the best songs ever
One of the best songs in my own opinion.
Yes the genius for sure of the Kinks. Just so damn unique, no one was like them, more eclectic than other bands and kind of went out on limbs musically. As a young lad I was fortunate enough to be brought up with them, along with other British Invasion groups
Absolutely beautiful in every way. Thank you again, Kinks, my favorite band of all time along with the Beatles.
Bobby M one of the greatest kinks songs, I think.And that is certainly saying something.
Beautiful and heartbreaking, just like most of Ray’s songs.
Get Back In Line The Kinks Facing the world ain't easy when there isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting watching time go by
Will I go to work today or shall I bide my time
'Cos when I see that union (jack) man walking down the street
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
Now I think of what my mamma told me
She always said that it would never ever work out
But all I want to do is make some money
And bring you home some wine
For I don't ever want you to see me
Standing in that line
Cause that union (jack) man's got such a hold over me
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line

Who has songs like this these days ?
Nobody. They're too scared to piss anyone off.
Ray Davies is the only one who has had them.
+bloodnokian only plastic rubbish
I remember - music "ouro de tolo" Raul Seixas
No one
This guitar, especially in the beginning, reminds me a bit of some of the stuff Pete Townshend laid down in "Tommy" and I have a hunch that there was some influence there. Beautiful to see the Davies and Townshend feed off each other like this. There's no doubt earlier who tunes like "I Can't Explain" are heavily Kinks influenced
Tommy Meyer Imagine an album by those two? The two greatest songwriters of the era writing a concept album or something. They'd need 4 vinyls and an ambulance on standby.
So right about Can't Explain being a homage to the Kinks
kinks brilliant , ray davis genius
Perfect pop rock songs , they are masters , i saw them two times in concert , it was magic
now thats music.listening here in Philippines locked down era 2020.
The kinks are one of the groups that will be traveling to space with the human race ,if we ever get our shit together!
This is such a great song............that harpsichord ........and the sadness of the song.......this is the Kinks that I love...sounds like Arthur and Muswell Hillbillies combined
Muswell Hillbillies is another great record. I had that taped on cassette with Randy Newman's Good Old Boys. They made for excellent bookends.
Facing the world ain't easy
When there isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting
Watching time go by
Will I go into work today
Or shall I bide my time?
'Cause when I see that union man walking down the street
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
Now I think of what my mama told me
She always said that it would never ever work out
But all I want to do is make some money
And bring you home some wine
For I don't want you ever to see me
Standing in that line
'Cause that union man got such a hold over me
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
Get back, get back, get right back in the line
Thank You
Outstanding lyrics! Remind me of the theme from the classic Brando/Kazan film, "On the Waterfront."
Be well.
Sempre que eu ouço esse som, ele me deixa muito pensativo e me faz chorar,um som lindo e uma letra incrível, obrigado Ray Davies e Dave Davies, obrigado the kinks por ser uma banda com tanto conteúdo e incríveis letras
outstanding tune
Amo The Kinks con toda mi alma
Yo amo a los The kinks y si te gustan podriamos formar una gran pareja.

@@tomileonelli570 jeje a tí también te digo ehh. si te gustan lsos The Kinks, me encantaria estar contigo.
This song always has me on the edge of tears. Brilliant.
oh when music really had meaning..... :(( I'm sad my kids will never hear it
play it for them. teach them the amazing music of the past
The reality of a true struggles of a true artist,even when on the bread line is long,just to get back in the line,.......she still loves you,......
Just brilliant.
that organ makes me happy :D
I read an interview with Ray where he said has dad was out of work for many years despite being hard working. I think that experience inspired both this song and Dead End Street.
Fantastic song....
Genius.
BEST EVER
Is the history of my life.
Beautiful song ❤
una obra de arte- Increíble
Beautiful love it
Just Brilliant.....
definitely the 70's what a lovely song yes Lolal and Apeman are on this album which i have an original however who remembers this? never aired!

Amazing song. Get the fuck up and live.
Stereo killed percussion

Like 2021

If This Were A Beatles album it would be considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Ray Davies gave John Lennon a real good run for his money. He just did not have a counterpart like Paul McCartney.
Actually Ray was John and Paul rolled into one!
@@mauricemorning But much better.
@@wayneelliott7011 I would not go that far. :-)
@@mauricemorning I fortunately do.
@@wayneelliott7011 you have really got me thinking now. I have contended elsewhere that if some of these songs were Beatles songs they would have been massive hits and some of their albums would have as well and yet I have read other hardcore fans expressing the opinion that is so fortunate that they did not have George Martin producing their albums because he would have turned them into commercial successes and they would not have been as great as they are to those of us who are hardcore Kinks fans. In other words I think people are saying The Kinks are what the Beatles would have been if they had not been such a commodity. So I will state for the record now my opinion that Ray Davies was not quite the Happy songster Paul McCartney was nor the rebel that John Lennon was but was a person even more so than, let's say Peter Townsend or Rodger Waters, who was a combination of both.
Nobody writes songs with the sharp poignancy that Ray davies has.
What line
This is a sad song about an unemployed worker who at the the mercy of his Union.
As I hear the words from the main character in the song, I don't get the impression that Ray is pro-union.
"He's the man who Decides if I live or I die, if I starve or I eat."
Wrong
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek Really? ... If Ray is pro union,he sure doesn't show it in this song.

how poignant for these days of our lives...............................??????????????????? look out union women
Such a shame Pete Quaife left. John Daltons playing is lame.
Anti communist song :)
:)))
No. It's a reference to the sad fact that some corrupt unions collaborated with management in blacklisting workers.
False
