Ray Davies is the best songwriter England has ever produced, not Lennon and McCartney. They were undoubtedly more prolific and wrote some great songs but stack up their best work one on one with Ray's best and he wins hands down.

@TheKalaxis Don't forget Dave! He did a lot aswell! Its a shame they've fallen out.

@zylaurz I'm Dave! But don't call me Dave

Ray Davies the most underated songsmith I can think of. This amazing song says it all, it cant be faulted. Musical perfection. Noel gallager would be proud to write a song like this. End of story

How does this have so little views?

This is a song that really touches my heart! On the one hand, it brings back happy memories of my youth, and my parents who are no longer here, and on the other, now, being older, the words are just so poignant and beautiful. It's one of those very rare songs that can make me both smile,and want to shed a few tears! Keep rockin' Ray!

It was 2 years from yesterday that my uncle passed away from ever so many cancers. I sit here now and then and listen to this song, and all the good times come back to me. It's nice to have happy tears sometimes.

reminds me that when you are gone that it is HOW you are remembered that is important. remember bob marley et all who preached only love

– plum69tv @ Nov 4, 2011

Oh my. It reminds me of the woman I use to love, who had to leave for another country and we never met again. I still mourn and cry over her.

Hi, we are a band that are heavily influenced by the kinks! If you could please spare 2 seconds to listen to a band that are still trying to play real music then check us out at our channel. Or fb /theshakedownproject Cheers, ok back to the sweet Kinks

– ShakedownProject @ Jan 21, 2012

Everyone has these sentimental and touching moments when they first heard this song. I heard it on an episode of Mongrels...
