    Summary:
    Paste had the honor of welcoming the legendary Dave Davies into the NYC studio, known for his co-founding of British rock superstar band The Kinks, as well as his extensive and successful solo work. The singer and guitarist first sang "Path is Long" from his latest album released this past spring, Open Road, which was produced by Davies' son, Russ Davies. Dave Davies then induced nostalgia in all of the session's viewers when he performed "Strangers," a beloved track from The Kinks' 1970 LP,  Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One.

    I was scared of watching this, as I've kinda avoided Dave and his performances since his stroke, but I have to say... he sounds phenomenal! You can't tell he ever had any problems. It's truly inspiring. Dave, the Kinks, and their music keep bringing me joy and inspiring hope in new and different ways. Thank you Dave.

    “My mind is proud but I aches with rage, and if I live too long I’m afraid I’ll die.”
    Those words resonated with me the first time I ever heard this song at age 18 in 1986.
    Now that I’m 51... oddly enough, I’m not afraid I’ll die.
    The song still resonates but instead of fading, the resonance has actually intensified over the years, now it proudly echoes with aching rage.

    This version seems even more powerful, with the perspective of an older man reflecting on his life.
    I always thought that it was amazing for young Dave to have created this in 1970, it was beyond his age at the time.
    His other contribution on the album was Rats, which was more in the vein of the rocker you expected from Dave. I love this version!

    Honestly I started watching this and thought "Oh Dear!" The stroke and the years haven't been generous. Then I don't know if it was the soul of the song and/or the fact it was Dave singing, it just hit home.
    Given the nature of the song you could never say lovely but I can say beautiful.
