Ray Davies of The Kinks was a master songwriter. He wrote about places and people. He also wrote of hope and love."Better Things", a song from The Kinks' Give The People What They Want album, is a wonderful statement of perseverance. It begs the listener to cheer up and welcome what tomorrow will bring. It is one of the few songs that I can always look to during troubled times.This song ends an album that is filled with a rather woeful image of humanity. It completely lightens the mood and brings a smile to your face.Fountains Of Wayne covered the song on "This Is Where I Belong, The Songs Of Ray Davies", but this, the original Kinks version is superior. Listen and let it brighten your day. :-D
