Love In The World
The Kinks · Other Songs - The Kinks
All the things we should have done
It makes me feel so sad
Looking back, what's done is done
If you can find a place to run
The future's in our hands
Love in the world
Love in the world
Every night, every day
We want love in the world
Trust it girl
Feel the suffering each night[?]
Even in the darkest night
[?] turn away
Faces etched with bitterness
Lives destroyed by evil men
Believe me you will have your day
Love in the world
Love in the world
Any how, any day
We want love in the world
Love in the world
Crying out disparing voices
[?] empty choices
[?] show us anyway
We want love in the world
Trust in it girl
Every night, every day
We want love in the world
Trust in it girl
Any how, any way
We want love in the world
Love in the world
Every night, every day
We want love in the world
Trust in it girl
Make me show us the way
We want love in the world
Love in the world
Every night, every day
We need love in the world
Love In The World
Released by The Kinks, 'Love In The World' stands as a quintessential example of the band's mid-to-late 1960s rock and roll sound. The track captures the group's signature blend of melodic pop sensibilities with the gritty, observational storytelling that defined their catalogue during this era. As a standalone recording, it reflects the band's ability to craft catchy hooks while maintaining a distinct British identity. The song exemplifies the Kinks' approach to capturing the spirit of youth and romance without relying on specific narrative details, allowing listeners to project their own experiences onto the music. Its enduring appeal lies in its simple yet effective composition, which has become a staple of classic rock radio and remains a representative piece of the band's discography from the 1960s.
