1965 single by the Kinks
"Set Me Free" is a song by Ray Davies, released first by the Kinks in 1965. Along with "Tired of Waiting for You", it is one of band`s first attempts at a softer, more introspective sound. The song`s B-side, "I Need You", makes prominent use of powerchords in the style of the Kinks` early, "raunchy" sound. "Set Me Free" was heard in the Ken Loach-directed Up the Junction, a BBC Wednesday Play which aired in November 1965; this marked the first appearance of a Kinks song on a film or TV soundtrack.
