“Waterloo Sunset” is a song that tells the narrative of a person watching two lovers passing over a bridge and reflecting on the Waterloo station during sunset. The Kinks’ founding member and composer, Dave Davies, revealed that the band spent ten hours recording the song despite its complex arrangement.
The song went on to become one of their best-known and most acclaimed hits, entered Australian, New Zealand, and Europe’s top ten charts, and became their first single available in true stereo.
