Life goes by so quickly. Yesterday we were still young with long hair, with this smash hit. Today we are old and gray, but the memories remain.... The one in the background feels it...
"Waterloo Sunset" is a beautiful composition. Love the one with the choir and this one, very pretty indeed. The Kinks are a band that swept through the 60s with Ray as the songwriter and vocalist. His brother Dave was an innovator on his guitar that gave the songs an edge for the Kinks. Glad Ray and Dave are still with us. 😊😊💕💕
It means so much this song and whilst it might be about a specific place it’s universal at the same time. I feel the same way about Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘America’.
The only problem with Ray's story is that he said it was originally called "Liverpool Sunset". He changed the location because The Beatles had just put out Penny Lane. Ray didn't want people to think he was following their lead by writing about a Liverpool location so he changed it. So the Waterloo Bridge wasn't the inspiration for the tune.

Beautiful.
What memories this triggers fir me.. And that guy behind him... Same vibe
THANKS RAY
Totally with you, man in beige jacket.
Spotted him too. Lovely.
Watch the man in the jacket on the left. He is (or nearly is) crying.I can imagine why.
Awwww that man's face is priceless. It's what I love about music - it just moves you to your core sometimes.
@@crazy4beatles I think he is the drummer of Fleetwood Mac,?
