The story behind
The Kinks recorded Got Love If You Want It in 1964, shortly after forming. The song has a fast rhythm, as if they were running, and a voice that moves between soft and aggressive. The lyrics talk about a complicated relationship, of someone who doesn't want to commit but also doesn't want to miss out on anything. It's a song that feels in the air, as if it were saying something that everyone understands but no one wants to admit. The guitar sounds clear, as if it were outdoors, and the drums move with force, as if trying to get out of something. It's a song that makes you move, even if you don't want to. ↓ Skip to chordsIntro 1
