The story behind
The Kinks recorded I’ve Been Driving on Bald Mountain as part of their album Kinks. The song has a light rhythm, with a guitar that moves as if it were walking. Ray Davies' voice speaks of a journey, of an endless road, as if he were searching for something he cannot find. There is an echo of old songs, as if the music remembered forgotten stories. The lyrics convey a mood that cannot be explained, but that can be felt. The song lasts just over two minutes, but in that time it takes you far away, as if you were on a dead-end road. ↓ Skip to chordsVerse 1
