| | Big Sky Lyrics Artist(Band):kinks
Everybody pushing one another around Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry But the Big Sky is too big to let it get him down. Big Sky too big to cry Big Sky too high to see People like you and me One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see 'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down When I feel that the world is too much for me I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me. Big Sky looks down on all the people who think they got problems They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry. People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky But the Big Sky is too big to sympathize Big Sky's too occupied Though he would like to try And he feels bad inside Big Sky's too big to cry One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see 'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down.

Review about Big Sky Felt | Reviewer: Skitso | 9/22/2007 Those who don't believe in a Greater Being have not felt his presence. This is my personal experience. I also like this song. I wish we could talk to Ray Davies and hear what he had in mind when he wrote this. Surely it is about the arrogance of man and his willingness to ascribe everything wrong to God (or the Government, or the Republicans/Democrats, or his parents, etc.) Big Sky: the Clueless God | Reviewer: Nick Smith | 7/12/2007 "Big Sky" by the Kinks has to be one of the most beautifully subversive pop songs ever written. Every time I hear it I'm reminded of a long ago Bill Moyers interview with Joseph Campbell, the author of many books on mythology. Moyers asked Campbell about what he perceived to be the major difference between Western and Eastern Civilizations, and Campbell said (and I paraphrase) that in the West people want a personal relationship with God, but "east of Suez" people want their God to be "impersonal." It would seem that this is one of the themes of "Big Sky." God either can't be bothered because "he's too high to see" (God as arrogant drunk) or he's as powerless or as clueless as we mortals---"Big Sky feels sad when he hears the children scream and cry." The implication is that he is in well over his head. He's made up the story of reality as he went along, and now it has become unmanageable. He vacillates between sadness and arrogance, leaving the narrator to muse, "When I feel that the world's too much for me, I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me." Davies is saying that even the Great Spirit in clueless, and we can take small comfort in this notion. Not only is the "world too much for me", it's also too much for the Great Spirit, as if God is saying, "Hey, you think you got problems, buddy. Well, they're nothing compared to mine." But there is hope because "one day we'll be free/Just you see..." The last line smacks of Nietzshe's notion about the death of God being the only way out of the human condition.
