Dave Davies
David Russell Gordon "Dave" Davies (born 3 February 1947) is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is best known as the lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist for the English rock band The Kinks, which also featured his brother Ray Davies.
In 2003, Davies was ranked 91st in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
Early life
Davies was born at 6 Denmark Terrace, Muswell Hill, North London. He was born the last of eight children, including six older sisters and an older brother, later bandmate Ray. As children, the Davies brothers were immersed in a world of different musical styles, from the music hall of their parents' generation, to the jazz and early rock n' roll that their older sisters listened to. The siblings developed a rivalry early on, with both brothers competing for their parents' and sisters' attention.
Davies grew up playing skiffle, but soon bought an electric guitar and started experimenting with rock. The Davies brothers and friend Pete Quaife jammed together in the front room of their house. Activities in the Davies household centred around this front room, culminating in large parties, where Davies' parents would sing and play piano together. The front room and these parties were musically nurturing to the Davies brothers, later influencing the Kinks' interpretations of the traditional British music hall style. Dave and his brother worked out the famous two-chord riff of their 1964 hit, "You Really Got Me", on the piano in the front room.

Davies was the host of a canceled television show called U@Play in the mid-2000s, produced in the San Antonio area, which covered home video games. The 30 minute show was seen in Austin, San Antonio and Laredo, in Texas, and in Monterrey in northeastern Mexico.
Davies is also an award winning journalist and the host of a weekly radio news magazine show for Texas Public Radio called Texas Matters and a daily show called The Source that airs Monday through Thursday.

The Kiss (Munch)
The Kiss is an oil painting on canvas completed by the Norwegian symbolist artist Edvard Munch in 1897. Part of his Frieze of Life, which depicts the stages of a relationship between men and women, The Kiss is a realization of a motif with which he had experimented since 1888/89: a couple kissing, their faces fusing as one in a symbolic representation of their unity. Exhibited as early as 1903, this work is held at the Munch Museum in Oslo.
Description
The Kiss is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 81 by 99 centimetres (32 in × 39 in). It depicts a couple surrounded by darkness, with only a sliver of daylight showing through a window which is mostly covered by a curtain. They hold an embrace as they seemingly merge into one, their faces a single, featureless shape. Art critic Roberta Smith notes that Munch favored "long, somewhat slurpy brush strokes that were more stained than painted".
The painting is similar to, though simpler than, another work with the same theme Munch produced in the same period.
The Kiss (2003 film)
The Kiss is a 2003 film starring Francoise Surel, Eliza Dushku, Terence Stamp, and Billy Zane. It tells the story of a book editor (Surel) who is entranced by a certain old manuscript about a romance. Unfortunately, she discovers that the story is unfinished, so with her roommate (Dushku) she attempts to find the author, only to be disappointed that he (Stamp) is nothing more than a broken man after his wife's death. The editor forms a close friendship with him, and they find the meaning of true love.

The Kiss (1914 film)
The Kiss is a 1914 Vitagraph silent drama short motion picture starring Margaret Gibson, George Holt, William Desmond Taylor, and Myrtle Gonzalez.
Directed by Ulysses Davis, the screenplay was based on a story by Marc Edmund Jones. Long thought to have been a lost film, a copy was found and put on YouTube. The film is the only known surviving film in which director William Desmond Taylor appears as an actor. In 1964 Taylor's co-star Margaret Gibson, shortly before her death, reportedly confessed to having murdered him in 1922.

Fragile
by: Dave DaviesStanding here in the cold, cold rain
Waiting on for hours
But my love for you still remains
I see you as more than a friend
I know I still got a lot to learn
But I'm glad I found you
In your eyes there is something real
I see you as more than a man
For history was born in Egypt
Suffered by man's vanity
The mysteries, the rock of ages
Made a fool out of you and me
No more mystery, no more fear or sorrow
All their lies won't satisfy me
No more mysteries, no more fear or sorrow
Only love gonna set us free
Many times you've come and gone
To lend us a helping hand
Every light[?] upon your face
Reminds me you're more than a man
Give me strength to carry on
From a path that lingers dark
Break the sword and give us light
The future is out of command
For history was born in Egypt
Suffered by man's power and greed
The mysteries, the rock of ages
Made a fool out of you and me
No more mystery, no more fear and sorrow
All the lies won't satisfy me
No more mystery, no more fear or sorrow
Only love gonna set us free
Is this all we ever wanted?
A planet of fear
Is this all we got to live for?
Look on a clear night
Far to the north star
Open your heart
Mystery, no more sorrow
All their lies won't satisfy me
No more mystery, the rock of ages
Made a fool out of you and me
No more mystery, no more fear and sorrow
All the lies won't satisfy me
No more mystery, the rock of ages
Made a fool out of you and me
No more mysteries
No more mysteries
No more mysteries
