"Stop Your Sobbing" is a song written by Ray Davies for The Kinks' debut album, ''Kinks''. It was later covered by the Pretenders as their first single. ==Background== The Kinks recorded "Stop Your Sobbing" on ''Kinks'', which was rushed out in order to capitalize on the success of "You Really Got Me." "Stop Your Sobbing" was supposedly written by Ray about a former girlfriend who, fearing that fame would change him, broke down in tears upon seeing how popular he had become. The song has the singer annoyed that his girlfriend cries too much, and he wants her to stop.〔 But the singer's pleas fail and by the end of the song he remains frustrated at the unresolved situation.〔 Davies biographer Thomas Kitts suggests that the song may have been inspired by Davies having recently broken up with an old girlfriend.〔 AllMusic's Tom Maginnis described the track as "grounded more heavily in the classic 50’s style of songwriting and playing," and said that "'Stop Your Sobbing' is a far cry from the wild aggression of ”You Really Got Me”."〔 Music critic Johnny Rogan described it as "a hidden gem in the Kinks canon." Rogan praises how Davies' "fragile vocal" works well with the theme.〔 It was not released as a single.〔 A live version of the song appeared on ''One for the Road'', and the studio version appeared on the ''The Ultimate Collection''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stop Your Sobbing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
