Thanks for putting this song back on the map ! Masterful rendition ! Dave Davies is a rock and roll icon that influenced so many guitar players ! And wrote some ingenious stuff as well ! God save the Kinks ❤
No one will ever read this but if someone does please know this song made me cry. Not because I’m sad but because it’s so beautiful. I love the Kinks and this is a wonderful version Dave would approve so much. I think I would want this song played at my celebration of life after I leave this planet.
masterful cover! and for those who would sing along ↓ [Verse 1] Where are you going? I don't mind I've killed my world and I've killed my time So where do I go? What will I see? I see many people coming after me So where are you going to? I don't mind If I live too long, I'm afraid I'll die So I will follow you wherever you go If your offered hand's still open to me [Chorus] Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one [Verse 2] So you've been where I've just come From the land that brings losers on So we will share this road we walk And mind our mouths and beware our talk Till peace we find, tell you what I'll do All the things that I own, I will share with you And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today We'll take what we want and give the rest away [Chorus] Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one. [Verse 3] Holy man and holy priest This love of life makes me weak at my knees And when we get there, make your play 'Cause soon, I feel, you're gonna carry us away In a promised lie you made us believe For many men, there is so much grief And my mind is proud, but it aches with rage And if I live too long, I'm afraid I'll die [Outro] Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one Strangers on this road we are on We are not two, we are one.
Oh my GOOOD! Great song. And I love the little unassuming smile at the end. It's like she's saying, "Oh hi, cool, we just finished with our Gods of Rock magic session, we're just funny looking kids again."
It's how I discovered Wye Oak and is in my top 5 Under Covers. There's some groups on that show who do good covers, smart covers, clever covers. This is one of the few that really just consume a song and sound like they've always owned it.
Reverends are cool guitars. Well built and sound great. I had an old style Slingshot Custom with 3 P90s, built before they started making them out of wood rather than phenolic resin. I wish I hadn't sold it but finances were insane then.
