The Kinks are sooo splendid! No one like Ray. The man is on another level of creativity and passion. Ray's face is perfect for B&W...so expressive, just right for the silent film era. Oh, he coulda been a star! :)

Ray Davies = Brilliant. Songwriter extraordinaire, prolific pop/rock creator to the max, along with Townshend, Simon, Lennon, Fogerty, McCartney, Wilson, and so on and so forth...

I love the Kinks’ videos- this one is obviously one of Ray’s productions. Sweet, funny, quirky, with ultimately a happy ending. Plus, the song is real gem. 👍👍👍👍

I understand that Ray directed the video. He's incredible. Great song, great video!!

Wow! I love this song since I was in high school. This is the best song Raymond Douglas has written in the 80's. Many thanks for posting it.

Saw them doing this in Albuquerque, Octobe 1987. Beautiful number.

Solange es Menschen gibt die solche Kunstwerke schaffen bin ich stolz darauf auch ein Mensch zu sein. Slarti

Ohh, I love KZfaq for letting me find things like this - 5 stars!

Thank you my friend, this is one of my favorites song

One of my all time faves. Great song.

This song is superb.... 5 stars Ray!

One of Ray Davies best songs.

absolute classic!!!!!!!!!Dave is an amazing lead player!!!!

Ray, you take my breath away in this video...I love you! I make no apologies for my devotion ; few performers can hold a candle to the marvelous Ray Davies.

It's a wonderful music video. Thank you, DoctorFingers. Thanks Kinks.

Wonderful song! Easy Music but so good!

All of The Kinks albums have great songs, even their last albums (from 1986 on) that were not successful. Think Visual has some overlooked great songs like How Are You, Lost And Found, Rockn' Roll Cities, Natural Gift, etc

a genius in rock music, this generation has lost a lot for failure to discover his talent in music composition

just shows their genius. able to adapt through 3 decades of music

Best Kinks song of the 80th

Always loved this tune/video and that it went unnoticed always rubbed me the wrong way. Alas, Francine Brody is incredibly beautiful and Thank You Kast Off Kinks for all the info on the video shoot. Also enjoy this abbreviated version over the LP one since the latter runs a little long. Everyone's a critic.

I wood give my left big toe to see these guys. Been a fan since I first heard them in 64. So creative so influential S British So Damn Good. Please come To America, being yer Troups and play some concerts and promote some new Tunes youve got stashed and cant wait to release. Think the venues wood be some of the bigest ever and all yer loyal fans who have been waiting for so long for an anouncement would come to celebrate and enjoy

Awesome song ! We are in he middle of hurricane Irene right now in Raleigh, NC. I posted this for my friends in NY, who are waiting.

Watching in 2022. Takes me way back in time...❤️

That was superb! I never knew it existed until I saw it mentioned in the wikipedia article about the song.

Love this song, best song they did from the 80s

a sweet and lovely song. thanks.

QUE PEDAZO DE TEMA POR FAVOR ...!! BUENISIMO ME ENCANTA CADA VEZ QUE LO ESCUCHO ME TRANSPORTA EN EL TIEMPO.

The Kinks are ASTONISHING.

Thanks for posting these post-Arista videos. An underrated time period of a severely underrated band.

I was in the USN in the Philadelphia Shipyards in Spring '87. I remember the piece got considerable airplay then. But Downtown Julie Brown never played this video on MTV.

Un tema musical, que me gustará toda la vida. . . Gracias

I love this song

the more i listen, the more i like.....kinks and mods forever!!!!

Anything the Kinks do is great!!!!

one of my later favs never seen.this is the short video version of the song the longer one has a kick ass guitar solo dave is so cool thanx for posting man

love the kinks; love this song!

Me transporta en el tiempo esta cancion. Me lleva a mi adolescencia alla por el '87,'88.Que buen tema!!!!

Great song!!! Thanks!!!

Wat een geweldig nummer. Great song, hardly to believe so good.

A wonderful song

i do remember this very well...i got running to get the LP on vynil...still got it!

man that is good...thx so much for posting. I just spent the last week at Folly Beach SC....Irene was originally coming styr8 at us...we watched 12-14 ft waves building friday, knock9ing out peoples steps down to the beach. Ive had this song in my head all week...

Luv Ray! And Dave!

Oh! Forgot mention bass voice🤩 this video is an amazing piece of art!

What great lyrics....as Irene eyes the east coast!!!!!

great song. It also appears live on the album named "The Road". great version

What a great video! I love the silent film mugging by Davies. Thx for posting!

Great :) and wonderful acting

@krankiekat How right you are my friend. The Greatest Songwriter. Did you hear the story of a producer saying "What else do you have?" He wrote 29 songs in 26 hours!!

I saw this song performed on a Saturday morning kids' show years ago and could never find it in the shops. I was beginning to think I'd dreamt it but good old You Tube!

wow this is gold, lost and found video!!!

que temazo por favor! The Kinks la banda más inglesa de todas!

The stage lost a great actor when Ray Davies chose a musical career. Lucky for us!

Me encanta este tema en mis tiempos de noviazgo con mi amada esposa hasta ahora y por siempre si Dios quiere.

This beats "The Artist," any day.

What makes this rare but good studio version better than the concert version is the carribean drums, violins and the 1776 background.

保育園の時にビデオで流れてた！思い出曲。、尼崎。。。

kinks great song as usual sensational

GREAT SONG! God save the Kinks!

great song...thanks for uploading the video, since it is rare to view it

just one word: Amazing!!!!

ich liebe ray davis seit 50 jahren.

MAGNIFICENT!

I always thought it was about the fabled 1985 October hurricane that hit NYC! I had to board up all my windows and I remember part of 57th street near central park was closed because of falling glass! It was the greatest day of my life!

beautiful, now i'm going to cry.

Dieses sensationelle Video war meine erste Aufzeichnung auf VC, damals 1990, eigentlich ist der Zugang zu dieser Epoche in Wort und Bild der größte Gewinn der Einheit für mich. Viele andere Riesenwerke dieser und vieler anderer Bands, die ich nie kennen gelernt hätte sah ich erstmals auf KZfaq. Ich denke aber, daß ich nun alles habe, besseres kommt nicht mehr, somit könnte man nun von mir aus die Mauer wieder aufbauen.

i remember this song when i was a kid my dad bought this tape in charity shop in 90s the album called Think Visual by The Kinks 1986 great album always got played in the car and its now a mystery because don't where that tape is :(

thanks for share!! 100% Feeling!!

Recuerdos de mi viaje de bodas con mi querida esposa Dios quiera que mi matrimonio siga😢

great album "think visual" , I like too "when we are child" from this work.

Great song, saludos desde Perú.

Dieses Video ist so genial - Lost & Found. Absolutely underrated

Wow, you're amazing DoctorFingers! Thank you for uploading some obscure yet awesome Kinks videos. =]

Zum ersten Mal außerhalb des Radios gehört, zum ersten Mal gesehen. Im Radio wird immer nach drei Minuten ausgeblendet... Nur das mit dem Hurrican über New York- das kommt noch.

Kinks por siempre!

Los fabulosos The Kinks!..

@DoctorFingers: Thank you, Dear Dr. Indeed, I have been quite well since emerging from my cryogenic slumber. Actually, I understand "The Artist" is quite wonderful. This video is truly lovely (one of my fav songs from "Think Visual"); had never seen it 'til you uploaded in '07; would love to see someone on YT post R.D.'s brilliant "80 Days" oeuvre (w/a flawless sound upload; video may have killed the average, radio listener, but, not I). Love & cheers to you; hope you and your family are well.

This songs sounds like something Ric O'Casek would have done back then too. Great tune!

I remember it got considerable airplay in early spring 1987. I thought it should have been dusted off for Superstorm Sandy. Who could have imagined a hurricane reaching all the way up to NYC?

Yay!

lyrics : Allemachtig groots Voor mij één van de meest ondergewaardeerde songs van een ook ondergewaardeerde band

EXCELENTE

@quadrophenia0901 It's also played live on the album "The Road"

@Mavarla Many thanks Mav. Glad you liked it - Geoff xx

cool video, had not seen this yet

I wonder if Ray got the inspiration for the video from Woody Allen's Purple Rose of Cairo, which came out in 1985.

Ray Davies and Francine Brody. If you go to Kastoffkinks dot co dot uk and click on Interviews and Specials, you can find out all about it.

Temazo

just coincidence, both the songs only came out a couple of months apart.

The chorus is very reminiscent of "It's The Same Old Song" by the Four Tops.

"Think Visual" It is also on the compilation called "Lost & Found (1986-89)"

@DoctorFingers: Found the page; *great, comprehensive study*, Dr. Keep up the good work! Please convey my fondest of greetings to D."O" F. Much Love, "Mav" (i.e., everybody's fav micro-air vehicle)

Ray directed this video

@BeezoHow I was drinking beer and having fun during hurricane Gloria (which this song is about) and I'm getting ready for the bioch Irene now. Beer is cold. Ready. ...

I used to find the Swiss Matterhorn Mountaineer cough drop goobers accidentally spliced in at the end of this upload to be rather comical in its absurdity, Doctor Fingers, but I usually watch the complete---and in audio sync---upload of "Kinks Lost And Found Alta Calidad Audio" to be far more satisying and "in sync" with the artistic and cinematic conception by its Creator, from beginning to end. "Creator" as in Sir Raymond Douglas...not God, of course. ;-)

この曲はいい歌です。CDが再発されのいかなー？

Wasn't this on the Think Visual album?

Oh yes, so it is! Well spotted, Susan - Geoff
