The story behind
The Kinks have a song called Beautiful Delilah, which lasts just over two minutes. It was written by Ray Davies, one of the brothers who formed the band. The song was recorded in the 1960s, when the band was at the height of their powers, and has that characteristic rock sound with touches of melody and rhythm that make them unique. The lyrics talk about a woman, a relationship, a feeling that builds up little by little. It's not a very complicated song, but it has that emotion that makes you want to listen to it again. People keep playing it because it sounds good, and because it has that connection with Ray's voice, which he delivers naturally. It's one of those songs that stays in your head. ↓ Skip to chordsVerse 1
