And one day when you are gone, You know that life will still go on. But no one'll care if you've been good, bad, right or wrong. Life will still go on.
It's not a happy song. It's like Salvation Road, it's saying life will continue not that it will get any better, in fact it will probably just get worse
A friend of mine just had a real bad time. You see, his life was shattered and he lost his mind. His girl ran off along with his best friend, And through emotional stress he brought his life to an end. It was such a tragedy, But that's the way it's got to be. Life goes on and on and on. It happens every day. So appreciate what you got Before it's taken away. Life will hit you When you're unprepared, So be grateful and take all That you can while you're there. Get that frown off your head, 'Cause you're a long time dead. No use runnin' 'round lookin' scared, Life could get you when you're unaware. One day it's gonna come, so you better accept it. Life will hit you when you least expect it. And one day when you are gone, You know that life will still go on. But no one'll care if you've been good, bad, right or wrong. Life will still go on. My bank went broke and my well ran dry. It was almost enough to contemplate suicide. I turned on the gas, but I soon realized I hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supply. No matter how I try, it seems I'm too young to die. Tornado, cyclone and hurricane Can batter the houses with the thunder and rain. Blizzards can blow; the waves hit the shore, But the people recover and come back for more. Somehow the people fight back, even the future looks black.
Ray Davies was a rare force of songwriting nature that was able to adapt and progress throughout the entirety of the Kinks. I’ll always take the Kinks over the Beatles (but they’re tied with the stones 😂)
Let's see, I have probably 7-10 Kinks albums. Saw them in like 1976 at UCI, Schoolboys in Disgrace. Fabulous concert! How many Beatles albums do I have? 0. My husband just died suddenly, and I thought of this song - mostly the chorus. Definitely lifting my mood. Life does go on.
I thought this was the other song "life goes on" cnt think of that artist but that's not I'm lookn for...sorry fans of the kinks, I'm in the wrong place😂

Oh Ray... If only you knew how many times this song has helped to save my sanity.

But that's the way it's got to be.
Life goes on and on and on.
It happens every day.
So appreciate what you got
Before it's taken away.
Life will hit you
When you're unprepared,
So be grateful and take all
That you can while you're there.
Get that frown off your head,
