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,

Ladies and Gentlemen the best song writer to walk the Earth.
YES! - along with P.F. SLOAN!
Well....love it...But eh...Bryan Ferry...Especially Ladytron, in every dreamhome a heartache and mother of Pearl. But also a different genre. Love love love Kinks.
Him, Brian Wilson and barry gibb wow wow wow
England's Greatest Ever Songwriter, no argument there. Richard Thompson his greatest English challenger. Brian Wilson, Warren Zevon and Neil Young are also in the mix as best to walk the earth.
Agreed 👍
Just as beautiful in 2024 as it was in 1968. Man, the band rolled out so many Classics ❤
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!
Give me The Kinks over The Beatles and The Rolling Stones any day! 😊
I’m amazed how many big hits they had I’ve only just discovered they sang many classics I recognised, probably my favourite band now, I’m British and I never knew about them by name
I completely agree!
❤
@@mjtigerfangmeans youre young and thats good for you!😅
Reminds me of my husband who sadly passed away and the memories that we shared
I hope this beautiful song helps. . .
I share those thoughts, my husband and I met in our mid 70s , we were both widowed after spending years caring for our respective spouses . We met in 2017, and we married in a beautiful ceremony , in September 2018. those precious times we had were the best of my life, just short of three years. He said we were each Gods gift to each other , I miss him terribly. John Hutt Baggs 1944-2021 .
If this was written by Beatles this would have 250 million views and be praised as greatest song ever written
People respond too strongly, both in the positive and in the negative, to the Beatles. And the Kinks deserve more attention than they get.
Yes, it's right up there with In My Life!
because they are √uwish
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Beatles, but that is so true lol
True
Beatles are overrated
Thank you Dave for 47 years of happy marriage and 51 years together RIP my darling. Lynn xx
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. ❤
Just a wonderful song, Ray is among the greatest songwriters in all history.
The Kinks are the best band of all time.
Exactly!
The most beautiful song I've ever heard about accepting loss of a loved one!
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 for sure a genius ! And the Kinks are such an incredible band !
You are so right, Ray is much too much underrated artist
The kinks who else pure gold
David Bowie said there is no such thing as a bad Kinks song.
Yes i feel the same...
They're a musician's band, for sure.
I guess, I agree with David B. 😉
Ray is special
Had it played at my Dad's funeral, in the woodland.
That is so sweet
I've earmarked it for my own funeral. Not too soon I hope LOL.
Perfect choice - and I'm sorry for the loss of your father.
My dad passed away recently. This song says as much as any song can about the feelings of loss and celebration
I agree i played at my dads funeral
Ray Davies' smile around 1:06 is possibly the most impossibly charming and loveable thing a human face has ever done
Makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. a beautiful song
Great song Great singer Great band
Thank you for the days

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

Days
Writer: Ray Davis
Thanks for lyrics here 👏❤️💋🥳👍
A beautiful song. To me he is singing about death. Only Ray Davis could write something this moving.
I totally agree
Absolutely!
About a great person met in a far away past?
Was it about his sister Renee, when she died of rheumatic heart disease?
@@lucyfoster4082Ray wrote Days about his sister Rosie leaving the UK for Australia
Ray Davies is a great songwriter many people don't realise 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 💙
Went to a funeral yesterday of a real North Londoner , Arsenal fan and one time tube driver . Spot on that he chose this !
The BBC did a tremendous job to use this (and Ray Davies solo version) in the closing montage of Euro 2024. Classy song!
A golden era. The Beatles, the stones etc. The kinks are my favourites. Great melodic tunes that linger.
This is the sweetest lovesong ever. I think everyone knows what it stands for.
The only song i know that tells intelligent words about lost love. Thank you, Kinks!
Classic Kinks. one of the best. He is a truly great songwriter
Kinks still my favourite group love ray and dave since 1964❤❤anne Darlington ❤❤❤
For my Mam and my Dad, my Daughter and my Son.
My God! This had 2b one of the greatest songs ever!
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!!!
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.
I thank the days i can spin Kink records on my turn table ❤
Ich liebe diesen Song. Er berührt mein Herz heute noch wie vor 50 Jahren.❤
Great songs, and also, Ray Davies surely has one of the most beautiful, happy smiles in showbiz.
They all smile don't they
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.
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..."
Great comment! After all these years the Kink Kronikles are still one of most very favorite albums. Ray wrote Days about the time one of his sisters moved away to Australia. He knew it aould be likely they would not be together much, or at all after that. He told her "thank you for being my sister".
Anyone not familiar with what tremendous talent the Kinks were in the 60s, would do well to check this double album out. The band was virtually blackmailed the last half of that decade in the States.
Ray Davies, still one of the best story tellers in rock!
MeM e
This fantastic song would sound brilliant now as it did in 1968 , incredible
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 too When I think of London, specially Brick Lane where I used to Live
Martin Reynals be happy for your memories
I'm a huge Kinks fan and this is my favorite song of theirs.
Si comme moi vous aimez les kinks regardez et écoutez : thil the end off the day, un vrai régal ! Suis fan depuis les années 68, un bail bien sûr !!
@@edmondhankiewicz5518J'adore les Kinks. La richesse de leur répertoire, leur cheminement musical varié, les paroles marquées par la finesse du regard de Ray Davies sur le monde comme sur lui-même en font mon groupe préféré. Old fan for ever
Such a tender, gentle song.
Bellissima canzone
one song I want at my funeral, beautiful song
One of my Kinks' very favourites songs
A truly beautiful way to remember a lost love
I do love this song so much...💕💕💕💕
My favorite Kinks song...
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.......😉
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....
Love this 💖 Love The Kinks ❤
Auch ich Danke für diesen Tag !
God I love this man
I like.this song I will play this at my funeral it means something
I am an atheist, but this song helps me to understand spirituality. Thank you for your upload.
how so? i'm sincerely curious.
Dylan, imho it’s The Spirituality in & of The ❤️
I lost the woman I had been with for 25 years. I know that she is no more but if she were this song would well express my feelings and I would want her to hear it.
Remember it when it came out. One their best.
A great song and one of my favourites.
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 🥰😁
The Kinks are the Kings
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💕
Thankyou so much for this song Ray🙏❤🌻
Agreed Ray is one of the best song writers ever!! Just have to qualify that earlier comment: Jesus Christ is no fake. The Greatest teacher to ever walk the Earth. ......and He's coming back soon.
He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; [4] he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away. "
Rev. 21 Verses 1 to 4
“I’ll bless the light that shines on you believe me”
A gentle , pleasant little masterpiece, very rarely played or listened to - " it coulda been a contender ... ! "
A real lifelive song for me 🎸🎤🎶thanks a lot Franz Schenk
8 people have no taste!! This is a belter of a song.
FOR FUCKS SAKE all you twats can do is moan about people who dont like the same as you? Think of something constructive to say you pair of kids. 🖕
@@gbwildlifeuk8269 Guessing your one of the non likers 🤔 How about move along ... And find yourself a hearing aid fucko
It is now 22 moronic slobs who voted thumbs down!!!!!!!!!
@@MrGoldenthroat They have zero taste!!
The Kinks one of the best British groups ever to perform,Ray Davies wrote some classic songs that will be played forever
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)
Ray was hot. 💖💖💖 what great musicians. 💖💖💖💖
My all time favourite Kinks song..what else is there ❤.
this song has so much meaning to it beautiful words!
This song is nourishment for my soul.
I never get tired of this beautiful song.
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
I absolutely love this song I could listen to it all day
This song is better than 99.9999 percent of the shite released nowadays.
Snowflakes can’t understand chord changes... too much sudden drama to cope with.
My grandads Funeral song last year
They wrote this fantastic song very young and the lyric tells that it is a mature and experianced soul that once caputered this message
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.
Makes me cry
Just beautiful.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the greatest Song of all time
This makes me think of “ the days” .... a simply beautiful song....thanks Ray 😘
the song days the best song I ever heard!!!!!!
I love you Dave!
Wonderful music bringing back memories of days free of to many tortures and pains revealling freedom, fun and joy.
love this, reminds me of my great uncle Raymond.
They all look so young! I'd kill for those glasses!
Bei diesem Song stimmt alles... Melodie, Rhythmus, Text, Liebeserklärung...
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.
YESSSSSS...YOUR SWEETS...THANK YOU FOR THE DAYS WITH HUTCH....LOVE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ LI....YOU ARE SPECIAL...
This song reminds me on my first big love....
forgot how fast the kinks version is - so many people play it painfully slow - this is the version
Lovely song, also love Kirsty McColl's version :)
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.
as Paul McCartney said recently in an interview, notwithstanding the trauma he suffered as a result of his mothers early death, he believed his mother would have wanted him to have had a good life; and he used these thoughts as an inspiration to try and live a good life. Let it be, attributed to both his Roman Catholicism that his mother had him baptised into, and his mother Mary, have underpinned his will to survive, and thrive: ... " in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be ..."
I love him
Days, Waterloo sunset, Winchester cathedral, peek-a-boo ... a fabulous bucolic interlude of songs during the frantic Haute-pop period.
Love Dave's Flying V Gibson in this video.
The best song, Ray Davies, genius!
