Ray Davies "Postcards From London"

Kind of the flip-side from last week . . . sometimes you need an old girlfriend to finish a song.

Take this Ray Davies track.

Davies and Chrissie Hynde were a couple 30 years back.

What a neat idea to have her come in and be a part of this Davies song, about looking back at his old town.

You know, I never fully understood how you could be with someone so completely, like them so much, decide that it wasn't really going to work out, and then never speak again.

Sure, they may not have been "The One" but that should negate whatever positive attributes they had in the first place. If you started as friends, well, it doesn't seem so impossible that you could end as friends, even if you were lousy lovers.

That being said, full disclosure about this "reunion": apparently, Davies and Hynde were never in the same room together. They recorded their tracks, and filmed their parts, separately.
