OK, but she doesn't chime in on her own though. Which is fine. I don't understand why us chicks aren't better represented. But that's been a lifelong question for me.
Wicked Annabella After a bunch of great songs, this one is kind of just OK. Not bad (nothing on this album is) but it is certainly not with the elite songs on this great album. (3/5)
Most of the female Kinks fans I'm familiar with take a less analytical approach than is being used here. On the other hand, most of the participants on Peregrine Falcon cam forums are women.
I like Wicked Anabella. The verse is partially in the not so typical Aeolian Mode. Gives it an unusual sound and mood. The bridge /chorus shifts keys. I like that rising chromatic melody.....gives it a cool edge. The rave up ending is neato as well. I often thought Entwistle got Fiddle About from this song. 4/5
I love the drum intro to this track. The darkness and heaviness give a needed contrast to the more whimsical tracks. One of my favorite things on the album. One of Dave’s best vocals.
what have i missed? are not the kinks a gender fluidly all encompassing musical consortium! l o l a lola represent! it's all up to you
That's fantastic that this other person's life you were interested in euthanized people, but sorry i missed the point you were making?
Well, except the very next song! ‘Under a lamplight, Monica stands at midnight’. It’s probably not a coincidence that these two are back to back near the close of the album to suggest the end of the day.
I’ve always thought the line was ‘I’ve seen her face PUT towards mine’ which does more suggest sex or at least intimacy. As a lot of the 60s lyrics out there are best guesses, I’m not entirely convinced I’m wrong.
Wicked Annabella-Dave gets a turn at the mike in the dark soundscape of “Wicked Annabella.” This is one of the more exceptional vocals on the album; Dave manages to express both the fear and attraction of the town’s witch. Are the peaceful villagers capable of burning a witch? In a way it seems that the creepy rocker feels out of place with the rest of the album, but it should be. Dave's vocals do a great job playing up the song’s creepiness, about the local town witch. All the local kids are afraid of her and the local legends throughout the years. Musically maybe it’s different from the rest of the album, but thematically it fits in. Dave gets a lead vocal on a dirty track suited for him, down to the snappy drums.
Are there many women on the forum as a whole? I've only come across 3 or 4 I think - was quite excited to see you on this thread!
Yikes you've almost finished another album... hadn't realised I'd got so far behind! I'm interested in this one as its often mentioned as being a 'great' album, yet its one I've never heard. Also, the title intrigues and repels me because of my job, which has brought me into closer contact than I even needed to have with real life 'village green preservation societies'...! (I do not need to hear any album they might make!) So I reckon this is the only time I'm likely to give it a go. Therefore, I'm looking forward to catching up on the whole thing this evening
