The Kinks - Days

The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society 1968

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 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen the best song writer 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!

If this was written by Beatles this would have 250 million views and be praised as greatest song ever written

[denniswood]

The most beautiful song I've ever heard about accepting loss of a loved one!

[alainpaum]

Ray Davies is for sure a genius ! And the Kinks are such an incredible band !

[johnknottenbelt]

Just as beautiful in 2024 as it was in 1968. Man, the band rolled out so many Classics ❤

My dad passed away recently. This song says as much as any song can about the feelings of loss and celebration

Makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. a beautiful song

Just a wonderful song, Ray is among the greatest songwriters in all history.

Had it played at my Dad's funeral, in the woodland.

A golden era. The Beatles, the stones etc. The kinks are my favourites. Great melodic tunes that linger.

[BarryWalker-rb]

This song sums up my life with my late wife. The love of my life love you always.

Went to a funeral yesterday of a real North Londoner, Arsenal fan and one time tube driver . Spot on that he chose this !

[BeaLankowski]

Das war die Gruppe meines Mannes ich hoffe, dass er es im Himmel hört

[fredkajots]

David Bowie said there is no such thing as a bad Kinks song.
