  • 'Another Weather Song', from The Kinks, recorded April 1977 for Whistle Test. Lovely, elegant guitar work from the youngest Davies brother :-)

    At the start of the clip I love the way Mick Avory winks at the new bass player, who then looks nervously at the camera - classic.

    Dave putting on a clinic on how to use the whole guitar, pick attack, little subtleties only guitar players would ever notice. There's alot going on in this song...riff after riff

      Dave is a surgeon with the way he writes his riffs. In my opinion the most underrated rock n roll guitar player even with the praise he gets. Not to mention his vocals... I could cry every time I hear strangers

      joe rockhead look up the whole album sleepwalker and listen to it its best listened all the way though not a single non amazing song and they put an amazing amount of thought into how it flowed from song to song I'll get some hate I'm sure but as an album as a whole I'd say it's better than the deads American Beauty.

    Oh, oh darlin',
    Little darlin',
    Did you ever see such a stormy sky?
    It's never been like this before.
    All the people,
    They're runnin'.
    Ev'rybody's try'n' to hide,
    To get away from that stormy sky.
    Perhaps it's a sign
    Of what we're headed for.
    We're under a stormy sky,
    Watchin' the clouds roll by.
    But won't you let me keep you warm,
    And leave the storm outside?
    It's only a stormy sky.
    I feel it.
    Do you feel it?
    Can you feel it?
    Feels like we're in for a stormy night,
    But I can't see a cloud in sight.
    I see it.
    Do you see it?
    Can't you see it,
    See that warning in that stormy sky.
    But perhaps its gonna pass us by,
    So don't you cry.
    There's nowhere we can hide.
    But if you hold me tight,
    I know that we'll be all right.
    Tomorrow we'll laugh about it;
    Greet the mornin' light.
    It's only a stormy sky.
    We're under a stormy sky,
    Watchin' the clouds roll by.
    But there'll be another dawn
    To clear the storm away,
    And we will be all right.
