The Kinks

The Kinks es una banda británica, formada principalmente por Ray y Dave Davies (ambos hermanos ¬¬"), escribo pricipalmente, por que está banda cambio de integrntes, como quien cambia de calcetines ¬¬". Se formó en la década del 60' (me parece que aún están vigentes.. pero eos no lo tengo claro, lo que si es cierto, es que en los 90' aún existñian =P). Su sonido es similar a los "The Beatles".
Tiene chorrocientos mil discos =P.

Les dejó el album The Village Green Preservation Society (Deluxe Edition) (Disc 1) - ya que son tres -.
Personalmente me encanta la canción Village Green. Está habla de como un hombre que vive en la villa verde, cambia todo lo que conoció - incluyendo a su amor - por la fama. Y como esta no lo llena. Es una canción bastante triste, pero la melodía es bien alegre.. entonces esa es la dicotomía.. ¿Cómo una canción tan triste puede ser tocada con una melodía alegre?.. Espero que les guste, denle una oportunidad, ya que es un grupo bien bueno. ^^..

Village Green:
Out in the country,
Far from all the soot and noise of the city,
Theres a village green.
Its been a long time
Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
Down by the village green. twas there
I met a girl called Daisy
And kissed her by the old oak tree.
Although I loved my Daisy,
I saw fame,
And so I left the village green.

I miss the village green,
And all the simple people.
I miss the village green,
The church, the clock, the steeple.
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and sunday school.

And now all the houses
Are rare antiquities.
American tourists flock to see the village green.
They snap their photographs and say gawd darn it,
Isnt it a pretty scene? And daisys married tom the grocer boy,
And now he owns a grocery.

I miss the village green,
And all the simple people.
I miss the village green,
The church, the clock, the steeple.
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and sunday school.
And I will return there, And Ill and daisy,
And well sip tea, laugh,
And talk about the village green.
We will laugh and talk about the village green.
