Days – The Kinks:歌詞及意思
Days (1968) – The Kinks
Thank you for the days
Days (1968) – The Kinks
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I’m thinking of the days
I won’t forget a single day, believe me
歌曲Days,由英國樂隊The Kinks在1968年唱出。歌曲長達2分50秒,類型屬於民謠搖滾(Folk Rock),填詞作曲由樂隊主音Ray Davies一手包辦。歌曲被收錄於早期專輯《The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society》,當時只發售歐洲地區。
該歌曲被喻為是對樂隊The Kinks及Ray Davies 的關鍵單曲,是對樂隊不幸的一年,專輯及單曲商業的失敗。特別是當時1968年另一張專輯《Wonderboy》,銷情慘淡。即使是Billboard大眾媒體稱讚歌曲,獲正面評價,仍對銷情無助。由於The Kinks是英國的樂隊,當時太多競爭對手在英國,特別是The Beatles的盛世年代。另外,當時樂隊The Kinks只集中於歐洲地區,所以美國地方較少聽聞該樂隊。

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 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
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
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
Eeh~~~Eeh~~~Eeh
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~~~~~~~~~~
