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 YouTube channel exclusively devoted to these true British originals.

Song still brings a tear to the eye of this old Punk Rocker.

[briteness]

I love that we get those sublime Davies brothers harmonies on the choruses of such a personal song for both of them.

[CarmieSchulz]

This is a great album track. You can't buy those greatest hits albums or compilations with a band like the Kinks. You'll miss too many songs like these.

[mixedbaggolfer]

The Kinks are the purest English rock band in history. Period.

[JohnAnderson]

One of the best! Wes Anderson must be saving it for something big !

[pchsmith]

'Your wealth will never make you stronger'  God save the KINKS!

[matthewwright]

Dave Davies' backing vocals always blow me away.

[RoJoeLax]

I love the whole album especially this tune.

[shanegoedecke]

Ray Davies is assuredly touched by God

[HughMacEachern]

Never has a single song completely encapsulated what my inner conversation sounds like on a daily basis. I'd want this played at my funeral. Far, far in the future :)

[stephencoomer]

You've come a long way from the runny-nosed and scruffy kid I knew
You had such good ways
I can remember the little things that always made you smile
They made you happy
Now you think you're wiser because you're older and you think
That money buys everything
And you think you need no one to guide you
But you're still a long way from home.
You've come a long way, you're self-assured and dressed in
Funny clothes, but you don't know me.
I hope you find what you are looking for with your car and handmade overcoats
But your wealth will never make you stronger 'cos you're still a
Long way from home
Yes, you're still a long way from home

The kinks got shut of of the american british invasion over bullshit, best thing that ever happened to them imo. Their music is beyond the who, the stones, clapton, zep, etc. Ray Davies, so underrated, one of the greatest rock song writers of all time. Cant ever get enough Kinks.

[jaquesax]

Magnificent song, but also the same goes for Ducks on the wall. Ray is an Artist of the highest caliber.

[dangordon]

Absolutely love this song, it’s so pensive and introspective

[Bibbleisthebest]

This song makes me cry, i think of me as a kid, and that my son is just like me Tears n Joy

[birunz]

just as 'schoolboys', quite a perfect album

[DaveDraperGuitar]

Just picked up this album, which I owned on vinyl decades ago... so great to hear it again after all these years. This is one of my very favorites from that record.

[jeff]

Basement Benders cover of this is really good

[stefano.bstef]

better than any Beatles album, no tracks to skip, unlike the beatles with yellow submarine, maxwell silver hammer and all the second rate songs on the white album, God save the Kinks!

[TurfRavenwood]
