Share

May I explain something to all of you youngsters and Grammy voters? The Kinks’ “Time Song” is a song. It’s written by one person, Ray Davies of the Kinks. Now it’s been released for the first time as part of the 50th anniversary of the Kinks’ “Village Green Preservation Society.” All you people who think you are songwriters because you lifted a “beat” please listen to this song. This should win the Grammy this year for Best New Song. Just lovely.
