The Kinks - Dave Davies' songs...

I've been thinking lately that of all the bands, The Kinks have probably written the most poignant, wonderful pop songs, soaring just that much higher than anyone else.  It's hard to match the perfection of Ray Davies' "Waterloo Sunset", "The Village Green Preservation Society" or "Days".  But two songs I've long loved and have had on repeat lately were written by Dave Davies.

The utterly beautiful "Strangers":





And the melancholy loveliness of "This Man He Weeps Tonight":
