}} "Animal Farm" is the first track on the second side of The Kinks' 1968 album, ''The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society''. The track was written by The Kinks' main songwriter, Ray Davies. ==Lyrics and music== The lyrics of "Animal Farm" visit an escapism theme (one that would be returned to in "Apeman" and "Supersonic Rocket Ship"), with the singer wanting to flee to "where real animals are playing." He yearns "to be back there, among the cats and dogs and the pigs and the goats on Animal Farm, () animal home." The singer dreams of his girlfriend, "though she's far from home," but in his fantasy on animal farm, "she's by () side." The singer then offers to "take () where real animals are playing," "on Animal Farm." When talking about "Animal Farm", Ray Davies said, "This was just me thinking everybody else's mad and we are all animals anyway - which is really the idea of the whole album." "Animal Farm" has a folk feel, similarly to many other tracks on ''The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society''. Andy Miller wrote in his book, 33 and 1/3 book ''Kinks' The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society'' that "'Animal Farm' has a noticeably bigger sound than much of the rest of the album, with plenty of reverb applied to the drums, percussion and the tack piano that picks out the song's opening riff."〔 When talking about the vocal line of "Animal Farm", Ray Davies said, "'The sky is wide' is a line I knew I could just about reach that note and, to me, the whole record is the way I sing that line. I knew that before it was recorded. I must have been so confident, so sure of myself." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Animal Farm (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
