The Kinks were an English rock band formed in London in 1963 by brothers Ray and Dave Davies. They are regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s. The Kinks' music drew from a wide range of influences, including American R&B and rock and roll initially and later adopting British music hall, folk, and country. The band gained a reputation for reflecting English culture and lifestyle, fuelled by Ray Davies' wittily observational writing style. The Kinks and the songs of Ray Davies are now rightfully established as a great British institution. From the opening riff of You Really Got Me, The Kinks’ influence as pioneers in heavy metal, power pop, conceptual albums, and theatrical shows can be detected in much modern music.
This, and much more, can be seen on this TH-cam channel exclusively devoted to these true British originals.

I was the tape operator, assistant on this gem .. Alan McKenzie the engineer, Pye studio 2. A beautiful record and song .... 1966... x
That’s brilliant, that’s a moment of music history that you were part of
I sometimes work for a Ray Lovegrove, remember the name? A roadie for the band at the time, recounts the story of being with Ray when he wrote this.
On the best song out of Britain in the 60s? A good day's work!
How lucky you are I didn't even exist even though I love this song since I've heard it
Good Job 👌👌
It's May 2024. Anyone else listening to this masterpiece? I'm just addicted to it!
Me, parents got me addicted too
Why do you ask?
Just having watched the movie "The last word" (2016) I needed to listen to this song. It appears at the end of this lovely movie. I recommend watching it!
Yo!
We just love this song…. 😎😎
Let's all help get this Kink's masterpiece to over 100K thumbs up! Who else agrees Ray is one of the best composers of the century.
Yes that is undeniably true. I used to listen to them all the time in junior high & high school. What an absolutely phenomenal band!
A very happy 80th birthday, Ray, and many more
One Day on Netflix brought me here, this song is super magical i can't describe the feelings i get, it's just so surreal and immersive even ❤
😅me too
Same bro
The series has such beautiful visuals and good music choices throughout.
Me too ❤
Same here
Happy 80th birthday Ray Davies!!!
Every time when I´m in London and have the time, I walk across Waterloo Bridge. One of the best views down the Thames. I still remember those years in the 60th and this beautiful song. I am 72 years now, Greetings from Germany.
as long as I listen to Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise
Me too this song is so adorable it always brings tears to my eyes ,, neeless to say im drowned in my own tears im now 76 years old thats a lot of tears xx
@@oughtonoughton2634 there was a play about two old women living in London , sure it was called Waterloo sunset , beryl Reid was one of the actresses , can't remember the others name
I was a Sr. in high school. Blasting down the interstate at 4:30 in the morning after all night bowling with some friends. This song came on and I got lost in it. I stopped at a pay phone and called the radio station to find out the name and who sang because I was afraid I'd never hear it again. Took forever to find it in the record shops but I finally did . Loved it then, love it now. I'm 60 years old and that feeling still comes back to me. Great to be alive.
That must of been back when stations used to play differnt songs every day. Did the same to Billy Thorpes Children of the Sun.
Michael Caine's recent documentary, "My Generation," is a great look at London in the 60's. The opening song is "Waterloo Sunset."

Bravo Bobby! 👌
Thank you for sharing Bobby,,love this Ray Davies penned classic,,I have it ranked in my Kinks top 3,,any way you slice it, the quartet have stood the test of time🇬🇧!!
One of the most beautiful and evocative three minutes of English pop music ever. The Kinks were in a class of their own and Ray Davies was a master songsmith.
I often tell the younger people that the Kinks are one of the best bands they've never heard of. Then I start listing their songs which they then can recognize because they've been covered more recently by other bands. The Kinks also deserve special recognition for their longevity as well. Anyway this particular song is so Beatlesque, I could be confused if I didn't know it was the Kinks.
I love them so much! ❤
100%
I'm 67 years old and never ever get sick of hearing this classic
i'm only in my late 40s but learned about this song from a jukebox at the bar where i liked to play pool.
I would put this song on while I was playing pool and felt like i played better, but I"m sure i still lost games ha
Later a friend played Village Green for me. Kinks are like every good human idea: ignored until it's too late
I’m 16 and I love this song to bits lol
Same
Class song 👌 happy Christmas 🎄 from Ireland 🍀🇮🇪
100 percent agree!!! Amazing song!!
I remember walking down Carnaby Street in the hot lazy crazy days of the 60s with this blaring out of a shop ... absolutely fantastic to this day !! Timeless
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like The Kinks. Two of my favourite bands
Name a train station and girls name that was a kinks single

60s coldest decade of the 20th century 😅hot hazy days were few and far between
Here we are in going into 2024 and this is still so freakin good. Love the Kinks.
One of the greatest songs ever written .
Yep and Rolling Stone magazine agrees apparently
@@joefriedman9843 these guys were utter class who always turned out fantastic material WOW PURE GENIUS LOL XX
Yes, for sure
Absolutely, it's one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard. Timeless
I've always known of the kinks; never saw them, and this is one of the greatest songs of all time. And the Christmas Cut they did is up there as well for rock and rollers holiday songs save all your toys for the little rich boys pure lyrical gold!
A few years ago I went to see the Kinks musical in Glasgow . An elderly lady who sat next to my wife and me rose to her feet and started singing along to practically every song . I turned and asked her if she had seen The Kinks back in the day - " Oh, yes , a few times , I loved them then and still do . " She then told me she was 78 years old . What a remarkable lady .
I went to a concert in Blackpool in October 1964 and top of the bill was The Beatles supported by The Kinks and now more than 55 years I still pinch myself at seeing these two bands on one bill. What's more is the tickets only cost the equivalent of 50 pence in today's money.
@@draskill1 Lucky :( !!
yeah, she probably still likes most of the thing she always has, like everyone, ever... how is that remarkable? I would say that was the definition of unremarkable. how many of milions of 75 year-olds still like the same music they did when they were young has to be in the high 90's, percentage wise.
@@reactorfallout What did you hope to accomplish by criticizing this perfectly benign comment? He didn't even say that her listening to the same music was remarkable, only that she was a remarkable lady. Your impact on the web must have inspired your screen name.
"Your impact on the web must have inspired your screen name." God i would feel dumb just typing that.
From watching ONE DAY beautiful piece of music
I am 7 and love the Kinks.
I am 12 and love the kinks, gotta keep the ball rolling...
Great!
You're 8 now! 🎉

Praise indeed
@@zackzallie8735 Except for the Davies' talent
The fact that people still love this song after over 50 years speaks volumes.
That's... hardly unique to this song.
Poor comment and fishing !
@@ThisBirdHasFlown You're right. About, oh, .00001 percent of all the songs written around that time can make the same claim.
Im glad I just found this
It gives me hope I’ll always find something from this era I didn’t know existed
I don't get it but thats why its great to have more than one band, but the Beatles music will outlive
most of the music of the 20th century.
september 24th 2023, who's still listening to classics like this. say hi, from mark in devon, UK
Hi from Linda just up the road in Dorset.
Hi from Phil in Pembrokeshire
Listening to this in January 2024
Live in Salisbury
Hi from Wales. This was my first "our song." Age 12, boyfriend called Terry, his mates screeching "Terry meets Lesley..." after us down the road!😁
18 year old here just to say that this band is fantastic and this is honestly one of my favourite songs of recent memory.
I'm 73 saw them live in Coventry yrs and yrs ago xx
you have a good taste for music, great band !! have many other songs you may want to listen to
@@brendadrumm9451 god bless
Way to go kid!!! 🎸
73 Year old here, and this was my favorite song when I was 17 years old. Still remember listening to this song on the radio lying on my bed after work in Adelaide. This song paints a picture that has stayed with me. A year earlier I was actually at Waterloo Station, London, waiting for the train to take me to Southampton, to sail to Australia. That picture of Waterloo Station also has never left me.
England has no shortage of great bands, but none has ever been so uncomprimisingly English as the Kinks, and I love them for that
Ray Davies has a Welsh name
@@wmarkdyer and he's not. Your point?
@Chase Williams this isn't a controversial opinion haha. What's the best American rock band? Probably CCR, maybe the Doors? Even Hendrix had a Brit band. Even post 90s, Radiohead over Nirvana any day.
@@beastmry shut up nerd they both suck
@@beastmry I like Jane by Jefferson starship...hope you do too
I'm 75 years old and I still love the Kinks!!!

My favourite song is Waterloo......it just moves me.....
Oasis don't belong in the same company.
I'm 18 years old and I love the kinks a lot!
If you leave this world richer than it was, then you have done a good job. Waterloo Sunset is a classic. Thanks ❤
this was my parents favourite song, lost both of them when I was small I always come back to this song.
It’s amazing how certain songs brings you right back in time, this is an absolutely wonderful song, I hope it helped heal your sorrow over time,
🥺I’m sorry to hear that, I hope it brings you happy memories of your parents ♥️
God bless you x
You lovely soul

Waterloo Sunset, one of the best songs ever written in the history of the music.
Ray Davies, one of the greatest songwriters/singers ever.
The Kinks, one of the greatest bands ever.
@Miguel Osvaldo Flores Dominguez
*The best band ever
Hotel? Trivago.
Ray was THE GREATEST not merely one of them !!
England has Ray Davies, We have Bob Dylan
Number 3 in my fav songs ever
if you’re here, we’ve got great taste in music
Yes I agree.
Well, I already knew that
Very true lol, I played this song for my students during an in-class writing exercise and there was a lot of head bobbing going on haha. Good music is good music, it surpasses generations and speaks to everyone.
Glad we can agree on this! The Kinks are an awesome band, I only wish i was 60 years younger so I could have been a teenager in the 60s.
Ritesh Das that’s very good!
Beautiful, comforting to know people were the same 60 years ago, the lyrics still stand...
My name is Terry my wife’s name is Julie . This is our song . We are both in our late sixties. Would like Waterloo Sunset on our gravestone.
❤❤
❤
I hope you’re living your best life love❤ you
Don't rush anything ! Stick around for a while
I was just watching a movie with the song in it the movie was the last words
This song bottles up a fleeting moment of heavenly detachment from reality and suffering. Ray Davies, after jumping off a 12 ft wall at age 6 "trying to fly" was seriously injured and spent quite a long time in a Waterloo hospital where he purportedly had a near-death experience following a botched tracheotomy. His sister bought him a guitar at age 13, then she dies of a heart defect. Young Davies in his hospital room, likely spent many many hours gazing out of his window, which overlooked Waterloo and the river, a rather beautiful spot with many people ("swarming like flies"). When he wrote the song at age 23, I'm sure he drew from those moments when he felt relief from his suffering upon viewing a sunset, and from the times he felt isolated and disconnected from the world buzzing by his window.
what a brilliant song Waterloo Sunset is Richard Smith.......and thanks for the information .....Ray Davies is one of the great songwriters ...not only in England ...but the whole world....wish he d come and put some magic to my songs ....cheers bill ...aka ...Dog Ruff...
Loved him but always appeared fragile
@Lovely Monsters Correct. Original title was " Liverpool Sunset "
@@grahambuckenham1597 You are right. If you look at Wikipedia Liverpool Sunset might have been a working title initially, but the song changes to one about London and his childhood experiences in and around Waterloo.
' The song derives from the period 1965-73 when Ray Davies lived at 87 Fortis Green, the semi-detached suburban home where almost all his songs were written at this period. "I didn't think to make it about Waterloo, initially", Davies said in a 2010 interview, "but I realised the place was so very significant in my life. I was in St Thomas' Hospital when I was really ill [when he had a tracheotomy aged 13] and the nurses would wheel me out on the balcony to look at the river. It was also about being taken down to the 1951 Festival of Britain. It's about the two characters - and the aspirations of my sisters' generation who grew up during the Second World War. It's about the world I wanted them to have. That, and then walking by the Thames with my first wife and all the dreams that we had." '
@richard smith. I just had to start the tube again after reading your comment, gave it way more meaning :)
there's two types of people
1. Old people who grew up with this and liked it
2. Young people who stumbled into the rabbithole of old music and love it (Me, 16 years old)
I'm new to the kinks. First song I'm listening, and I already love it
Embrace it
@@060154kit - I agree and I will. I am, and I don't regret it
Listen to Lola , you won't regret it.
@@hibazd1589 - I actually already did
I’m an old guy, 69. Been here since you really got me.
I'm 70 years old and this is my favourite record of all time.
It's my second favourite, after 'Snooker Loopy'.
To Ray Davies: I was at the Kinks show in Detroit at Pine Knob in 1993. I sat in the front row,you gave me a beer and a guitar pick. I still have the pick. It was one of the great thrills of my life! Thank you for every note!
An absolute masterpiece by The Kinks. One of the very, very best ever British songs and it still sounds amazing now.
My daughter has an apartment overlooking Waterloo Bridge on Southbank. Just sit there admiring the view and playing this tune.
This song is enormously underrated. Such a beatiful melody.
well, it's rated in the top 100 all time greatest songs by Rolling Stone, so...
I agree , the simplicity of this melody speaks volumes , and yes i also agree that this band was so under rated ,& also they stayed true to their roots Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)
@@psalmer5690 well I guess in the end it’s all opinions but I can Think of 100 Beatles songs that are better than this song!
Nope , not underrated at all....maybe only underrated in your world...certainly not mine
@@fourthtunz Yes , and that is your opinion
This was my grandmothers funeral song. It was one of her favourites, and whenever I hear it, I feel so sad and yet at peace
This is the closest a song ever gets to perfection
positively queen jane Bohemian Rhapsody gets the closest!
no landslide by fleetwood mac beats these out
Paul Weller agrees; no argument here, either x
idk pal, God Only Knows by The Beach Boys it's pretty close
@@Keston1302 It's a great song, sure, but this and the others mentioned are more perfect.
Genius lyrics, genius harmonies - where are the when we need them so badly now?
The Kinks don't get too much credit in my generation. I am 14, and I am enjoying this awesome music regardless of how old I am. Love The Kinks!!!!!!
You win,
I’m 16 mate and I totally agree they need more recognition
It was the same with my generation (I am 36), it makes me happy to hear that there are kids like me back then looking for music that connects with them regardless of when it was made.
All the best to you, long and happy life.
I’m 67 Years Old and been listening to the Kinks since I was 9-10 years old welcome 🙏 to our Generation of Fine Music 🎼
Couldn’t agree more ， I've been listening to some 60s and 70s rock music like The Kinks ,The Doors and the others since I was 16，now im 19,and stills love them .i just like the feeling of nostalgia retro,old movies or old songs give me a lot of spiritual strength,make my soul can be told and more complete
Genuinely one of the greatest songs of the 60's. It's up there with anything the Beatles did
Its better than anything the Beatles did
@@williamberry2351 Are you serious???
It's a great song, very Beatles like
@@simonsherratt1484 i don’t hear the beatles comparison
Why compare? Both bands made wonderful music.
For real Londoners...one of the greatest songs ever written.
Or for real Brusselers
Closest I’m gonna get to some bragging rights. Ma grew up in Muswell Hill. Cromwell Rd I think it was. Long before that psycho killer who may have put a blemish on the bourogh
Of all the British Invasion bands the Kinks were the most British and stayed true to their roots unlike most of the other bands. It may have hurt their popularity in the US but not to this guy.
The kinks rule... My favourite all time band followed by elo
Them being banned from the US for a long time definitely helped
💋🌏🦅
you will meet your Waterloo.
What goes around comes around. THAT you can bet on!
What a stupid comment, all of the British Invasion bands were influenced by American music and played their own brand of Rock n Roll; an invention and evolution of American Blues music. Tell me how The Kinks were more British than The Zombies, The Yardbirds or The Stones.
If anything bands like Pink Floyd were more British than anything the Kinks ever did.
One of the greatest songs ever written! 🥺❤️
The Kinks just were so perfect and never really got their due… this is so beautiful
What I've always loved about the Kinks is their beautiful way of painting a picture. They are one of the only bands I listen to that can do it so well. They aren't just evoking an emotion of anger or happiness, etc. They are painting a picture I could see myself in. They give me a sense of nostalgia for things I've never even experienced. Tell me exactly how they do this so well! I don't think any artists really have the same capability to create a scene the listener can just feel. It's definitely haunting.
Ray is the best at expressing the socio-economic and the human condition.
Beautiful comment!💓
That's Ray, not the band
Totally agree with you!
Ray Davies is a songwriting genius. Not sure anyone has ever matched him.
Like someone said, one of the best introvert songs.
Happy Birthday, Ray. The original Muswell Hillbilly. 🎉🎶🎂
One of the bands with the best lyrics… such storytellers. No wonder they made a musical from their songs
What’s it called?
It still gives me chills...no matter how many times I hear it.
Exactly. A spine chilling experience - every time.
The Kinks - so many quality songs so underrated. I feel sorry for anyone not touched by their music. Ray Davies what a hero!
He should be Britain's poet laureate.
***** gosh damn bleedin youth mumble grumble
***** You kids get off my lawn!!!
Don't feel sorry for me, sweetheart.
Would you like to buy a photograph of a fat man pissing on a cabbage?
My eternal thanks to you and the band for creating this tune.
Waterloo Sunset always makes me feel better no matter the circumstance.
Hey if you like Kinks you should listen to a band called The Doublejumps. Similar styles of songwriting and harmonies
How many people crave for the summer of 1966 when life had a different meaning.

When cutting the grass and taking out the garbage were the only things that disrupted my lazy unfettered summer. aaaaah
The Kinks always remind me of my daddy he used to take my brother and I to a wee Italian cafe on a Saturday and always played the Kinks on the jukebox
He clearly had great taste. ☺
That's what a call a very nice human guy. Of course has to be your old man.
mine didn't
Sweet father ❤️
Nice memory. Thank you for sharing it.
This song hits different when you've spent a night out in London.
Hits ten times different when you've lived in London, and loved it, for 7 years and had to move home due to Covid.
Spending the night clubbing with a woman from Parsons Green, then the two of you head towards Camden - whenever I hear this song, I think of her and that night.
No it doesn't. Everyone can experience how special this song is.
here after watching one day that show rly had me thinking for a few days
My best friend in the 60s at school raved about the kinks.I was more mainstream, didn't get them, preferring the Beatles+ Stones .As I've become older+my musical tastes have matured how keyed in he truly was.A truly great band. And for me personally, Waterloo Sunset has to be up there as the finest Pop song of the 60s.Absolutely brilliant.I find myself returning to it again and again.
I genuinely think it is the most beautiful song I have ever listened to. I mean, SERIOUSLY, i can't think of anything that compares to this. Maybe God Only Knows by the Beach Boys but that's about it.
+Helter Skelter I just one of those songs that are incredibly sweet, innit? It makes you long for a time/place you don't know and have never been to. Perfection.
There are very rarely songs like this, I'd maybe include a Beatles song or two in that list
Beatles ofc.
+Helter Skelter I agree i always come back to this masterpiece:D
+Helter Skelter You think this way because you have magic in your soul.

Not to be hyperbolic or anything like that, but this might actually be my favorite song of all time.

Can't define a one personally but it's probably in my top 10 :)
The most underrated band!
Not by me.
They were a big deal where I was. I really love 'em.
"Underrated"?? The Kinks were one of the most influential groups to come out of the 60's British Invasion. The group was also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame within the first decade of the Hall's existence back in 1990. The Kinks aren't underrated or undervalued at all, rather they hold a very prominent place in the history of Rock & Roll. Long live The Kinks!!
Yes you are right. While in Mexico everybody knows the beatles and the stones, even my grand mother, nobody -apart maybe for "you really got me". nobody knows who the hell the Kinks are...very underrated endeed.
Who's underrating them? Let me know, I'll sort straighten 'em out! Lol.
My big bro introduced me to the Kinks, and this song brings me to tears everytime i hear it. My bro is gone and i miss him so. Thank you Kinks for all the decades of great beautiful music
At the end of 2019 when visiting the U.K. One of my main things to do was to see a 'Waterloo Sunset' . It was then, I knew exactly what this wonderful band was singing about. I know there were many great British bands of the 1960's but to me ,The Kinks were one of the very best who stayed so true to their roots (no matter how much they traveled
& how famous they were they never ever forgot where they started from) . I feel they were not given enough Air Play for all their talent ... Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)

When I hear this song I think of walking around London with my wife, sitting on Primrose Hill with a beer and watching the sunset over the city skyline. Good times.
Heard this song for the first time today. Can already tell I’m going to love this song for the rest of my life

Anvenger endgamme introduce me of the song kink i am 15 year old i am prett sure i am gonna sing this song wen i gonna be old if i am old one day
I think people will still happily listen to this in a hundred years
Came from One Day on Netflix. It was the first time I heard this song (I'm not from an English culture background) and I cried.
You are very lucky to discover this. It is the very best English song of all time.
Same for me too… they lyrics from this song fit that episode perfectly 😢
Ray Davies is the most eloquent, articulate songwriter in rock and roll history.
poet laureate of rock and roll
Any one who does not agree with that hasn't heard all of the kinks great music. Consider yourself blessed that you obviously have.
dgrichmondbc i agree with you what a genius guy such utter joy from decades gone by .......x
He’s great at his best, but he lacked the consistency of the mt Rushmore ones like Dylan or Bowie.
@@kelvinkloud I think Ray Davies is more in the class of Lennon-McCartney, Jagger-Richards, Marriott-Lane, or Vanda -Young.
walk along waterloo bridge everyday at like 6 and there is always the most perfect sunset
i got that view as the best in the world , never gets old , just a stunning view of London town
@@alexz4752 It's not Crap here in America. I live on a lake in Tennessee and I can guarantee the sunsets here are EVERY BIT as beautiful as in Waterloo. However i still love this song. Definitely one of my favorite songs ever.
@@alexz4752 Yeah man definitely a beautiful song.
Their lyrics are phenomenal what a great band. They don't make music like this anymore waring down the reel to reel what an era ❤️❤️
The Kinks = a very special band. A great band . 1 of the greatest groups of all time.
Oh, so this is one of the finest pop records in the history of rock 'n roll, huh? Why, yes. Yes, it is.
I love this song. I remember listening to it as a teenager and being genuinely happy and content with my lot in the world. I hope it always holds this special place for me.
+lee raeside I really like your your guys flag. Its really cool lookin'....My first bike was a 1964 BSA B-40 single cylinder. I was too stupid to keep it running back then though. After that I had lots of BSA motorcycles. I would love to have a BSA 500 single.
🙏 2 One day series I’m here
Just one of the best classic songs ever, they dont make them like this any more! What an era?????
They still do in indonesia
Gibran Ramadhan hahahahahahahaha
Pink Floyd is the Best Band of All Time. the kinks is much better than pink floyd

If you haven't seen a sunset from Waterloo Bridge, give it a go.
87 was my first, hope to see another
Je le ferai à mon prochain voyage pour Londres. I'll go to Waterloo Bridge on my next trip to London, with Kinks in my headphones ;)
Had that conversation once after leaving Fabric ( large nightclub)....
... Got woke up by a couple of coppers as we'd sat down and passed out on mdma
hey i want to travel there,any good place to stay?
The best view of London from any of the bridges. Try sunrise to.
One of my biggest loves of the amazing 60’s
This reminds me of my dear friend Ron, first met him 1968 when he got back from Vietnam,we stayed friends until he sadly left us in 1991.i will never forget him♥️❤️❤️🌹
Now it is 2020,we worry about the planet, we worry about the corona virus and we worry about life. I listen to this song and these worries fade.Just for one brief moment I am transported back to a more pleasant and safer time. It's as if someone had cast an ancient spell.A spell so powerful it transcends time.I hold back my tears because I know the past is another country but for one brief moment.........
Well said.

Lewis Carroll has spoken.
Yeah COVID19 has got people going ballistic, and it was simpler time back then, even in the nineties. Then September 11 occurred, the war on terrorism, Ebola, Finance Crash, attacks on homeland soil, and COVID19. Chain of events one after each other.
Fair play just the same way as I'm thinking. Isn't it great to get away from all that horrible stress of covid just listening to the kinks it turned a stressful time in to a happy time especially waterloo sunset. Keep listening to the kinks.
Thanks for this, so beautiful and very story like, so well done guys, still a great sound in 2023!
I am in my 30s and Czech, and I haven't heard of this song before Spotify threw it into my automatic playlist, and haven't heard of the Kinks before Spotify threw in Lola. It was such a great discovery, but even though my father was somewhat obsessed with Beatles in the past, so you would think I could share this with at least him, I don't feel I can. So I confess here, I really love this song.
The bass stands out more than credit is given. Pete Quaife was his own man. R.I.P.
I just learned this song last week and it marks my 1000th song added to my 60s collection, I am only just a kid, age 17. I was 12 when I had about 200 or so songs in the 60s. This song is the best of the Kinks along with You really got me, Blazing on a sunny Afternoon, All day and all night!
It's LAZEING ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON
It's LAZING on a Sunny afternoon!
Good job collecting kid.
Good taste 👍
I love this kind of music, it has inspired me to write love poems for my girlfriend, I would love see the collection you have so I can write more beautiful poems
This song fitted so well with the ending scene in the Blackberry movie.
I adore this record being a Londoner, a teenager in the 60s and reminds me of happy carefree days
The 60s were great❤️
wow u must be old lol
after the 60s and 70s were did the fun go?
HELL YEAH!
but are they wrong?
Alex Doran Yes. People like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson hated slavery. Also, it was founded one the belief that everyone has rights and they cannot be denied. Also, to stop tyranny from Great Britain. Imperialism cam in the 19th century and early 21st century. It was not happening in the 18th century.
The type of song you listen to while driving your car around the city looking out the window feeling you're in a black and white 60's movie
weirdly specific but valid nontheless
