The Kinks - Days 

Ladies and Gentlemen the best song writer to walk the Earth.

Reminds me of my husband who sadly passed away and the memories that we shared

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

The BBC did a tremendous job to use this (and Ray Davies solo version) in the closing montage of Euro 2024. Classy song!

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

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

Thank you Dave for 47 years of happy marriage and 51 years together RIP my darling. Lynn xx

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

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!

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

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.

Ray Davies is a great songwriter many people don't realise this

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. ❤

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

Ray Davies' smile around 1:06 is possibly the most impossibly charming and loveable thing a human face has ever done

The Kinks are the best band of all time.

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.

A beautiful song. To me he is singing about death. Only Ray Davis could write something this moving.

Classic Kinks. one of the best. He is a truly great songwriter

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

Bellissima canzone

Great song Great singer Great band

For my Mam and my Dad, my Daughter and my Son.

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

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 💙

Such a tender, gentle song.

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.

The only song i know that tells intelligent words about lost love. Thank you, Kinks!

I thank the days i can spin Kink records on my turn table ❤

This is the sweetest lovesong ever. I think everyone knows what it stands for.

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

This fantastic song would sound brilliant now as it did in 1968 , incredible

Kinks still my favourite group love ray and dave since 1964❤❤anne Darlington ❤❤❤

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.......😉

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!!!

My God! This had 2b one of the greatest songs ever!

Great songs, and also, Ray Davies surely has one of the most beautiful, happy smiles in showbiz.

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 💝✌️🌹😘✌️

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.

One of my Kinks' very favourites songs

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!

Makes me cry

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..."

this song has so much meaning to it beautiful words!

I'm a huge Kinks fan and this is my favorite song of theirs.

The Kinks are the Kings

Remember it when it came out. One their best. A great song and one of my favourites.

A gentle , pleasant little masterpiece, very rarely played or listened to - " it coulda been a contender ... ! "

My favorite Kinks song...

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 🥰😁

one song I want at my funeral, beautiful song

God I love this man

I do love this song so much...💕💕💕💕

A truly beautiful way to remember a lost love

Incredible song...

The Kinks one of the best British groups ever to perform,Ray Davies wrote some classic songs that will be played forever

Ray was hot. 💖💖💖 what great musicians. 💖💖💖💖

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....

They wrote this fantastic song very young and the lyric tells that it is a mature and experianced soul that once caputered this message

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💕

A real lifelive song for me 🎸🎤🎶thanks a lot Franz Schenk

Love this 💖 Love The Kinks ❤

Days, Waterloo sunset, Winchester cathedral, peek-a-boo ... a fabulous bucolic interlude of songs during the frantic Haute-pop period.

My all time favourite Kinks song..what else is there ❤.

Ich liebe diesen Song. Er berührt mein Herz heute noch wie vor 50 Jahren.❤

My grandads Funeral song last year

This song is nourishment for my soul.

I like.this song I will play this at my funeral it means something

1968 the year i left school. A song of memories of happy days spent over the years. I suppose all generations like some songs from their youth.

I love you Dave!

Thankyou so much for this song Ray🙏❤🌻

Lovely song, also love Kirsty McColl's version :)

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.

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)

“I’ll bless the light that shines on you believe me”

Love Dave's Flying V Gibson in this video.

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

A true Masterpiece!

A sort of reflective memory: inspired in the song Days by The Kinks Last night I went walking round the city. Since the sun went down I started to ask myself about things I had been wondering for ages, usually, in bed before falling asleep. I tried to remember carefully each and every movement of my spirit, all the thoughts I believed they had vanished in the air. In the end it was all about days. Days lived with anguish, tormented days and the happy and funny days too. And all of a sudden I knew very well that those days which I had spent living against all odds were beautifully shining in my head. But, actually, it was the hours of the days what worried me. And the sense of wasting valuable time of a life that worth nothing at all. Anyway, I still keep in my bedside table drawer, a cassette that contains only one song: the first song I wrote. During those days I would stay all day long in bed, reading and thinking of things and stuff that went through my mind. Sometimes I would die in a dream to wake up the next day and gather my will and power to go on living no matter what was then of me and humanity to become of despite of all despair feeling of nothingness, which in the end I realized it was creative time to record in my heart, time spent with love and spent with no reason at all, cause in the end, life, is meant to be spend off.

They all look so young! I'd kill for those glasses!

Wonderful music bringing back memories of days free of to many tortures and pains revealling freedom, fun and joy.

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 😁

This song reminds me on my first big love....

Brilliant song.....one of many from The Kinks who really turned out some excellent songs. I could never quite figure the sibling rivalry between Dave and Ray. Working together in a band is a pretty odd decision when feelings run that deep. Yeah I never got on with my sister, not as kids nor in our 70's as we both are now......but then I never worked with her Thank God!! Dave Davies said, "one hour is about as much as I can stand with Ray". That's pretty good.......my sister and I last about five minutes!

Happy birthday, Ray Davies

the song days the best song I ever heard!!!!!!

8 people have no taste!! This is a belter of a song.

forgot how fast the kinks version is - so many people play it painfully slow - this is the version

Beautiful song and very true 👏👏👏

The best song, Ray Davies, genius!

I never get tired of this beautiful song.

love this, reminds me of my great uncle Raymond.

I absolutely love this song I could listen to it all day

I only heard the version by Kirsty McColl I had heard this on a music channel on my TV and I never knew the Kinks had sung this one first. I love his pink tinted glasses, they make him look kinky, a singer for the kinks.👍💜

I am an atheist, but this song helps me to understand spirituality. Thank you for your upload.

Takes me back to my days at engineering college, we played this on the jukebox in the local cafe

Happy Birthday Ray . Love your music, such memories x

I love him

YESSSSSS...YOUR SWEETS...THANK YOU FOR THE DAYS WITH HUTCH....LOVE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ LI....YOU ARE SPECIAL...
