| Song | Song ideas (my interpretation) | Relation to EA ideas/experiences (my interpretation) |
| 'A Well Respected Man' (1965) | We often miss opportunities to benefit others with our privileges | |
| 'Apeman' * (1970) | Shares anxieties about "crazy politicians" and that "I don't want to die in a nuclear war" |
|
| Concern for "inflation and starvation" |
| |
"I'm no better than the animals sitting In the cages in the zoo man" |
| |
| 'Strangers' (1970) | "I see many people coming after me... So I will follow you wherever you go" |
|
"Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one" | ||
"So we will share this road we walk, And mind our mouths and beware our talk" |
* Annoyingly this song is not very gender sensitive. Also all three songs have a heavily western worldview given The Kinks were a UK band
** In case helpful, I find this C.S. Lewis quote (amongst other resources suggested in Mental Health and the Alignment Problem) particularly helpful for sharing and managing these difficult emotions.
