Songs for tomorrow: This Time Tomorrow

You know I've run out of blogging ideas when I start trying to resuscitate old series.

Completely unrelated to that, here's a new post for the Songs For Tomorrow theme.

From 1970's The Kinks versus Powerman and The Moneyground, Part One, this finds Mr Davies in familiar territory, mourning the loss of Albion, railing against apparent progress and feeling separated from normality. We've all been there, Ray.

This time tomorrow
What will we see
Fields full of houses
Endless rows of crowded streets
I don't know where I'm going
I don't want to see
I feel the world below me
Looking up at me

There's a nice bit of what I thought was rough and ready banjo in there too, though Wikipedia tells me it was, in fact, a National Steel resonator guitar. So what do I know?

There, that was alright, wasn't it?

In other news, I might have an original idea for a post sometime soon (but don't hold your breath). Until then, I'll just keep treading water with more of the same pointless ballsackery.

  1. A perfect song in every way. Oh, but it makes me sad that it is still so resonant.
    Look forward to your new post idea soon, Martin, but all are welcome anyway.
