For me, that scene at the end of the episode with Tony leaving his sisters' house and walking down the street alone sums up the whole series and James Gandolfini himself in some strange way... Rest in peace maestro 1961-2013.
Yes, because they were on a higher level of consciousness then, and the System programmed it out of us.... But we are coming back.. We will be there once again.. And when we come around to realize that, it's the epitome of life.. and it's the most amazing thing in this world is life. Amen man, 🙏
Ray Davies is like Lou Reed. John Cale said you never had to work out what a Lou Reed song was about. Same with Ray. He hits the spot so many times with his songs. Waterloo Sunset. Autumn Almanac.
The first two are better than the last two.. Just my opinion. The Cars were so awesome, and you could tell it was a song by them, just from one or two seconds of listening.
I just turned 30 this past year, and I've just recently discovered this song. This has more emotion than any music being put out today, and the song is older than I am. "This is why Rock-N-Roll shall never die!"
I didn’t fully appreciate how great a guitar player Dave was until maybe 20 years ago. I tried duplicating his riffs and solos, and never could play them at full speed. He was terrific in his prime.
Love this live version of this song, I'm in my 60's and I just came across this song recently, it speaks to me, what a powerful and rebellious song it is love this!! Definitely a song for these times of today, we need it more than ever now!!!!
64, don't know how I missed this it's my newest favorite song. I didn't take it as rebellion just not like everyone else. And don't want to be.This hits home for me I never really fit in and what I see out there most of it I don't want to fit in.
They have a vast catalog. Some albums are better than others but The Kinks have remained relevant more than any other band. I highly recommend their last album, as a group, "Down to the Bone". It is all live with either a studio audience or music venues. This sounds like the version from "Down to the Bone", which was also used on an episode of "The Sopranos". The Kinks were featured a few times on that series.
The sopranos took you everywhere, with the music they played. I can think of 5 different times I went searching on youtube for music I heard on the show. Remember the song "hey , I saved the world today"?? Or "up in the club" Or "the dolphins"?? Those are 3 that I can think of. Michael imporioli was in charge of a lot of music for that show
I can't believe I've missed this song so long. Had to look it up, came out in 66, I was listening to rock by 73, my newest favorite song on earth. Radio will not play songs this long very often it interferes with commercials.
This song, in the original version was the downfall of my youth as I thought I was special and invincible. But after coming out of those dark years still breathing it's taken on a much more humble meaning and sends shivers down my spine. Bless Ray Davis, fucking genius 🙏
Ray Davies was a songwriter who indulged in irony. I'm glad you came around. This song is not, in fact, about not being like everybody else; it's about being like everybody else.
amazing how a song can change meaning as you get older, its funny how the songs full of bravado when you are young actually sound like humility once the years have taken a few layers off
"I won't take all that they hand me down..." LOVE THAT LINE. What a masterpiece that song, so far ahead of its time. It is fine now to say we are neurodivergent or different, many of us now feel that kind of odd pride at being well, who we are, because everyone else is taken. Of not being overly conformist at least. But in 1966 it was visionary and brave. Kinks > Beatles if you ask me, criminally underrated.
Ich liebe es.... die Erinnerung an Zeiten in denen ich einfach nur dieses Lied hörte und pures Glück meinen ganzen Körper geflutet hat alleine der Gedanke daran .... Gänsehaut am ganzen Körper ❤️😘 ich vermisse diese Tage ...
These guys were my Dads Favorite ...i see why...holy shit, just very powerful and meaningful at a low point in my life, and my dad is Gone, lord i miss him, i love you dad, this song makes me break down. 😔 But its so good
+Mees "i wonder what's french for i grew up without a mother.". (Tony's Sister turns homicidal) Tony knew his Sister better than everyone else and showed her anger management classes were bullshit.
+Arse Robinson I dont think that was the whole point, there was also the idea of making himself feel better about not getting help for his anger issues and probably some more stuff.
+wouter038 That's the way I took it, too. He's always resisting help and in a constant battle with himself over every little thing and I think in a way at that moment he was jealous of Janice, or maybe he just didn't believe her. So he hit "below the belt" (which he's accused her of doing before) and brought her own child and her own hypocrisy to test just to prove if only to himself that anger management is bullshit. But it is absolutely self-serving on his own part. He has to believe that other people are just as bad as he is, otherwise his own crisis of conscience is actually winning the battle. He HAS to believe people cannot improve and that they are just the way they are.
Was never much of a Kinks fan, mainly because my ex loved them, but I have to say this is a very good song. Heard it on The Sopranos, the scene when Tony pushes Janice’s buttons and then casually strolls away! LOL! This song fit that scene so well. I was floored.
DoctorCena I completely agree and Dave Davies guitar is simply brilliant. It is hard to believe this song was a 60's song as sounds like a very modern rock song. When I first heard this on The Sopranos I thought it was a cover as too heavy and modern to be The Kinks but I was wrong and Ray Davies does a great job with the vocal.
@@ciaranchapman1099 I saw the State of Confusion tour at the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1983. My mom let me go because my friend's mother took us down there on the El & Broad Street Line since she didn't drive or own a car. It was a great night. What was your 1st concert? You take care 🙂
@@tracygamble8073 you have great appreciation for music. I can remember from my childhood hearing all the old standards Bacharach and David as well as classical
I used the lyrics to this song today with my EFL class in Paris. We covered phrasal verbs, the use of "though," and the expression "go to town." It went over fairly well, and more young people were introduced to this great band.
Dave singing and writing this isn't it ? Probably why it is structured with more guitar soloing and is longer than the recorded version, Dave was a bit more the guitar man wasn't he? Encapsulates perhaps the differences between the two of them.
This song was used absolutely perfectly in The Sopranos, with all killing,extortion,etc. it was Soprano at his most malcontent evilest moment in the entire series,IMHO.
This song was the reason that scene was as powerful as it was. I started reading your comment thinking it was my own lol. The Sopranos music /scene selection was epic. Will never be replicated. This, season 4 episode 1 opening scene and ending scene Timezones world descruction, gives me chills to this day, Annie lennox Little Bird, I could go and on...
Tony beats up the bartender at the Bing for like the third time but goes so far he does permanent damage and the guy quits. Then he provokes Janice into a fit of rage by making fun of her lost son, ruining the progress she's made in anger management class.
this song got me ..... in a time when i needed to hear it... Thank God for that moment that college radio exists that doesnt play out the played out BS on main radio
Only found this the other day. 2024. Played it to my hubs of 30 plus years. He says 'The Kinks? I used to know Ray Davis back in the day. Great lad.'. Well, you can still be surprised after an age. 😂 Brilliant song. Have on loop.
Considering their immense catalogue of amazing work this song ranks right at the top I’ve always felt that they never got the respect that they deserved as a Giant in the Rock industry Give me the Kinks over the Stones any Fuckin Day
This is sublime and the apotheosis of the Kinks. For all Ray’s superbly witty lyrics, it is only when brother Dave plays the electric guitar like a real seventies rock star that perfect fusion. Morrissey needed Marr, Liam needed Noel. Can’t live with you, can’t live without you!

You quoted the original lyrics from 1966, however, the lyrics in this version are slightly different. The Kinks reworked this song in the 90s and this version was released on their album To the Bone.
It seemed like in the late 70s, early 80s The Kinks toured every year... must have seen them 6 or 8 times. They were sooo good, live. Damnation, I miss those days!
Ray's vocals on this version simply elevate it to another level. He may not be the most technical vocalist, but he conveys a lot of emotion!! WTF WHAT A ROAR!!🤘 Edit: especially here 3:24
+kinksboss1 Exactly. I thought this was the 1990s version from the To the Bone double album. Dave's playing skill improved at an astounding rate from 1964 to 1970, but he didn't have the chops to play like this at that time. First time I heard him able to play like this was the intro to Celluloid Heroes at the concert in Providence RI around 1979 or 1980.
One hell of an Excellent band the Kinks are . I got to see them when they were in Florida promoting their Sleepwalker album. They were so frigging good I was amazed. And it just confirmed why I was a big fan of theirs. I give a bow and raise my glass to you all gentlemen.
Maybe ,just maybe the greatest song ever writhen ,I can relate to this song 1000%
Yep
Put the first verse on my head stone!
me too
No argument from me on that one!
It's got it all
Says it all ! Live your own life
For me, that scene at the end of the episode with Tony leaving his sisters' house and walking down the street alone sums up the whole series and James Gandolfini himself in some strange way... Rest in peace maestro 1961-2013.
We miss you T.
Yes, we do, RIP Mr. Gandolfini...💞
Amen, brother.

This live version gives me Goosebumps, its better than the studio version by miles
which is rare in general... but definitely true in the case of this song
@@robinhood2550 You are listening to the live version right now

The Kinks sang their songs with such conviction. I believe every word. Great band.
Ray Davies is like Lou Reed. John Cale said you never had to work out what a Lou Reed song was about. Same with Ray. He hits the spot so many times with his songs. Waterloo Sunset. Autumn Almanac.
@SophieLovesSunsets So true
Because they sung in their own accents, unlike most bands of that time, who mimiced American singers.
Kinks are grossly underrated
How? Their music is everywhere.
Indeed
raul duke no their not
yeah they‘re great!
yes they were this song was overlooked for years until it got attention on The Sopranos I've heard it on a TV commercial also
I loved The Kinks when I was 9 yrs. old. Still do and I just turned 64. Thanks guys!
First time hearing this song. Maybe one of the best intros ever. Great song

And at a young age!

and I am 71 and I did never hear this one before but when I was 16 the Kinks never failed to give us great songs
Meanwhile....It sounds like an 80's song when in fact it's from the mid 60's...Go figure..lol
The next 30 flys by faster and faster, get busy .
Never❤
58 Years ago and this song still uplifts the soul!
That minute and few second guitar intro has more soul than a lot of modern singer's entire discography
Are we comparing singing with guitars?
Verdade
I am just discovering this song. I was instantly hooked. I was watching a podcast that uses this song as the outro.
Ray's writing and Dave's guitar playing together are pure gold
YES this band ROCKS
I didn’t fully appreciate how great a guitar player Dave was until maybe 20 years ago. I tried duplicating his riffs and solos, and never could play them at full speed. He was terrific in his prime.

Resonate totally, 60’s also 😊

I wore both sides gray! Lol
Glad you're diggin it
I think Ray actually wrote this for someone else (Animals? ) but they were not interested. The Kinks started to play it in concerts. Great song!
i never knew this melody existed
You have 2 yrs on me. And same, I've never heard this before.
So powerful. The greatest hymn of individualism ever.
I wonder.........what's a French Canadian for "i grew up without a mother"? RIP James G
Forever.
SACRE BLEU! Where is me mama
I love this song by the Kinks. It talks about individualism! Not being a "human robot"
Or clone! Just be yourself and be proud of who you are!

Dave’s guitar playing gives me goosebumps every time.
Yes indeed! I remember getting his solo albums and found his lead playing to be extremely musical and right up there with other noted guitar players.
For me still THE "masterpiece" by the Kinks from their early years, from 1966 (with the self-confident statement "I'm not like everyone else")👍👏🎸🎶😍
Most brilliant performance of this song by far. Totally nailed it.
What a joy to hear this again. The guitar is magic!

Dave singing and writing this isn't it ? Probably why it is structured with more guitar soloing and is longer than the recorded version, Dave was a bit more the guitar man wasn't he? Encapsulates perhaps the differences between the two of them.

He says 'The Kinks? I used to know Ray Davis back in the day. Great lad.'. Well, you can still be surprised after an age. 😂
Brilliant song. Have on loop.
RIP James, you will always be missed.
Considering their immense catalogue of amazing work this song ranks right at the top I’ve always felt that they never got the respect that they deserved as a Giant in the Rock industry Give me the Kinks over the Stones any Fuckin Day
It really tells me that I'm not like everybody else, paranoia will destroy you

This song is F'n Awesome, the sound of those two guitars is DEEP!
Very great band ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is sublime and the apotheosis of the Kinks. For all Ray’s superbly witty lyrics, it is only when brother Dave plays the electric guitar like a real seventies rock star that perfect fusion. Morrissey needed Marr, Liam needed Noel. Can’t live with you, can’t live without you!
One of the best live bands EVER! Great show for sure!!!
First ..must be The KINKs ... and Then... Led Zep ... to me for entire of my life .
i'm listening this song every night. It keeps me motivated to be myself in this world..
All you have is....
I'm just surprised it did not get enough air play. Great song! awesome7 _ Rocks_ like not everbody else! Thanks for posting this gem.
Why don't the radio stations ever play this awesome music?
Carl Thompson buy the fucking cd
Too long
@@jean-marieboucherit4716 you dope.
cian conway no you dope, you illiterate ignorant insulting mediocre thinking person , is that all you have to say? Insults, that’s what you know? Who are you? Are you American, a country that was built on insults? Are you British, making the biggest mistake of the past 1000 years? Do You think before you insult? Do you speak a foreign language? Do you have respect for music? Or are you the one who says Dope?
@@jean-marieboucherit4716 This isn't even a selection of witty insults, Jean-Marie, you're scrapping at the bottom of the barrel for your bottom of the shelf insults.
This is the best performance of this Kinks song ever . It wasrelegated to a b side ofSunny Afternoon and should have been an A side in its own right .
Superamos 31 Davies in them days B sides had to be great in order to make the money
Superamos 31 Davies ....yeah, but it might have frightened the hippies, ....Great song!....the Cry did a cover of this tune in the new wave era of the early 1980's
its better than any song on face to face. one of their best ever
I won't take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I'm not take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started I go to town
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
But darling, you know that I love you true
Do anything that you want me to
Confess all my sins like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
If you all want me to settle down
Slow up and stop all my running 'round
Do everything like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else
pretty sure i don't want to get destroyed like everybody else was a verse in the first chorus
You quoted the original lyrics from 1966, however, the lyrics in this version are slightly different. The Kinks reworked this song in the 90s and this version was released on their album To the Bone.
ONE OF THE GREAT GROUPS OF THE MIS 60,S LOVE THIS AND ONLY JUST FOUND IT A B SIDE THOUGHT TO HEAVEY BACK IN THE DAY, BILLIANT.
Not a Sopranos fan, but what a great version of this song. I don't usually choose live versions, but wow. One of the greatest bands of all time.
God save The Kinks!
It seemed like in the late 70s, early 80s The Kinks toured every year... must have seen them 6 or 8 times. They were sooo good, live. Damnation, I miss those days!
Ray's vocals on this version simply elevate it to another level. He may not be the most technical vocalist, but he conveys a lot of emotion!! WTF WHAT A ROAR!!🤘
Edit: especially here 3:24
Saw these guys back in Detroit. Great concert! Highly underrated band!
Real music during a forgotten time, beyond perfection !
Unbelievable that this was made over 50 years ago.
Jake M this version is from 1996 or so
+kinksboss1 Exactly. I thought this was the 1990s version from the To the Bone double album. Dave's playing skill improved at an astounding rate from 1964 to 1970, but he didn't have the chops to play like this at that time. First time I heard him able to play like this was the intro to Celluloid Heroes at the concert in Providence RI around 1979 or 1980.
truly!
Not really .... the '60's was FULL of "attitude", dude ....
This music was timeless.... there's so little that can come anywhere near it, today..
Обалденная вещь, с Духом, Яростью, Любовью в Землю!
SACRE BLEU! WHERE IS ME MAMA?!
I don't have a right to ask? I'm the boys uncle!
"you miserable Fuck, you!"
That is too funny dude literally why I came here
Whats the French for - I grew up without a mother?
likewise
I had completely forgot about this song by the Kinks. I love it! The words are so true! Accept yourself and just be you! You are GREAT!
Best version of an epic song.
Cameron Tungate Dave at the Bottom Line live set the standard.
I prefer Jimmy & the Boys' version.
What version is this? Trying to find on Spotify.
@@mikedc81 Me too! Did you ever find it on Spotify? (or anywhere else, buyable)
@@mikedc81 dave davies, album: live at the bottom line, on spotify
I wonder what's French-Canadian for I grew up without a mother. Sacré bleu, where is my me mama.
I wonder what's French-Canadian for "Tony never had the makings of a varsity athlete".
after 40 years,I still sing it to myself and glad I'm not like everybody else:)
Yes you are.
Now all shout after me.. "I'm not like everybody else" ;)
Right on man don't want to be like every body else keep on rockin love the Kinks
This song makes me feel good about being me.

The Kinks , most people have only listerned to the top 10 rubbish of the era , thanx i i"am an oldie and remember the TRUE 60's
One hell of an Excellent band the Kinks are . I got to see them when they were in Florida promoting their Sleepwalker album. They were so frigging good I was amazed. And it just confirmed why I was a big fan of theirs. I give a bow and raise my glass to you all gentlemen.
Great taste in Music brought me here
johan jensen thanks for saying this. tired of going to The Kinks and seeing people quote TV shows where they heard the songs. God Save The Kinks
Me too...
Feltcher Schnoodle Sounds like he grew up without a mother
And this isn't Van Halen
Sopranos
THE KINKS WERE ONE OF THE GREAT BRITISH HEAVY 60S ROCK BANDS
Some see them as proto-punk. The Kinks were played over the loudspeakers during a Punk/Rock festival a few years ago.
And Ray Davies is one of the great British songwriters.
@@tintomara6209 I think he always has been underrated.
