9. Big Sky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83LJ67KBa7Q Taken from the album: The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society (1968) "Big Sky" can be found on Side 1 of The Kinks extraordinary concept album The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society and is the only song on this list not to have been released as a single. Virtually spoken by Ray Davies, the majority of the lyrics to "Big Sky" address mans insignificance in the vastness of the universe and the reality that our lives and problems mean absolutely nothing in the bigger picture, under the 'big sky'. As with the majority of The Kinks songs recorded during the 60's this song is melodic, sensual, beautifully executed, fiendishly catchy and performed to absolute perfection and remains a fine example of Ray Davies sociological observations of English people and their way of life.

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
