- Shangri-La est une chanson des Kinks, parue en octobre 1969 sur l'album Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire). Elle décrit la vie d'Arthur, personnage principal de l'album éponyme, retraité après une vie de dur labeur dans sa maison qu'il a nommée Shangri-La. Les Kinks se montrent dans cette chanson, conformément à leur style, loin de la rage sociale des Rolling Stones et chantent cette situation avec détachement comme une ballade. Le désespoir de la situation n'en est peut-être que plus frappant.

- "Shangri-La" is a song written by Ray Davies of the Kinks. The song appeared on the 1969 concept album, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire). The song's inspiration can be traced back to when the band visited the Davies brothers' sister, Rose, and her family in Australia, the "designed community" that the family lived in serving as the initial lyrical inspiration. The song's highly ironic lyrics comment on British class society while portraying Arthur, the album's ill-fated protagonist, and his empty life in the suburbs. The musical aspects of the song both reflect and comment on the mood of the lyrics. (en)
