Some Mother's Son

The Kinks produced this gem on their Arthur album in 1969 reflecting on those who gave all. Ray Davies, one of the greatest (and most underrated) songwriters wrote this quiet, anti-war song which very few heard, at least in the US where Arthur (full title-"Arthur(The Decline and Fall of the British Empire) didn't sell all that well. Never fails to give me chills.
