Flashback Friday: "Tired of Waiting for You" - The Kinks (1965)

Oh, these pretty boys with their guitars, making the girls scream in concerts. The year is 1965, and one of the bands on everybody's mind is The Kinks.

Seriously, listen to those girls! They almost drown out the music at points! But i'm glad that they don't, because this is a good song.

It's not really too complicated of a song, but this was back when a lot of rock songs had that "pop" element to them. And for what it is, it works. It honestly kind of works better than usual with the subject matter it entails. The repetition in the chorus really makes the tiredness of waiting seem all the more tired.

It's a simple song with a simple message, and it's good to just have those once in a while. With just the right amount of attitude, but also the right amount of lovesickness, this song is a winner in my books.
