"Love Me Till the Sun Shines" is a 1967 song by the English rock band the Kinks. Appearing on their album Something Else by The Kinks, it was, unlike most of the band's songs, written by guitarist Dave Davies.
Release
It was originally released as the B-side to Dave Davies' debut single, "Death of a Clown" in August 1967. The song made a further two appearances on vinyl, as an album track on The Kinks album Something Else by The Kinks in September 1967 and as a track on the "Dave Davies Hits" EP released in April 1968. The latter record was a four track compilation of Davies' first two singles.
Reception
"Love Me Till the Sun Shines" has generally received positive reception from critics.
Rolling Stone writer James Pomeroy said that "Dave is at his brutal and cynical best in 'Love Me Till the Sun Shines.'"[1]
AllMusic critic Stewart Mason said:
The song was recorded by the Kinks twice for BBC radio, in 1967 and 1968. The 1968 version is widely considered to be the definitive reading of the song, with a much more prominent bass line from Pete Quaife. It was a regular feature of the Kinks live set from 1967 to 1969, and was later played solo by Dave Davies.
