The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset (Official Audio)

Visit the official store and listen now: https://thekinks.bio.to/TheKinks "Waterloo Sunset" is taken from Something Else by The Kinks, the band’s fifth album, released in September 1967. The album documents the band’s continuing interest in baroque pop, folk and music hall styles, led by Ray Davies’s trademark songwriting finesse. Produced by Ray himself, the record blends delicate harpsichord, brass, and organ arrangements with stories of British life, family, and reflection. It features two of the band’s most celebrated songs: “Waterloo Sunset,” often hailed as one of the greatest singles ever written, and Dave Davies’s “Death of a Clown,” which captures a mix of melancholy and charm. Something Else is intimate and wistful — a portrait of The Kinks at their most nuanced. The legendary British band formed by Ray and Dave Davies in 1963, The Kinks helped shape rock music with their sharp songwriting and unforgettable riffs. From "You Really Got Me" to "Come Dancing" via "Lola", their influence was far reaching through heavy metal, power pop, and modern rock.

Lyrics: Dirty old river, must you keep rolling Flowing into the night People so busy, makes me feel dizzy Taxi light shines so bright But I don't need no friends As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise Every day I look at the world from my window But chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station Every Friday night But I am so lazy, don't want to wander I stay at home at night But I don't feel afraid As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise Every day I look at the world from my window But chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground But Terry and Julie cross over the river Where they feel safe and sound And they don't need no friends As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset They are in paradise Waterloo sunset's fine #TheKinks #WaterlooSunset #SomethingElse
