6237. The Kinks - Do You Remember Walter?
 |
| From: The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society; Year: 1968; Genre: Rock/Pop |
Still in the mood for The Kinks on this Thursday.
This is a very upbeat and happy tune with lyrics that are anything but in, of course, a way only Ray Davies would write. Musically it reminds me a lot of Electric Light Orchestra's music that you'd hear about a decade later; their monster hit Mr. Blue Sky in particular. However, as stated prior, the lyrics are kind of both introspective and judgemental concerning meeting up with an old best friend, (Walter), only to find that the best friend kind of withered and gave up on his dreams they once shared and now it is as if they are merely strangers with Walter not caring about the stories his old friend tried to tell.
