Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks (1967)

It's hard to write about this because I'm not sure why I have liked this so much over the years. It stirs deep feelings every-time I listen to it, The twang of the guitar strings drew me to it initially, then Davies' frail voice with that simple melody, and the backing vocals providing the strings; then this obsession with the sunset over his backyard; and who are Terry and Julie who get mentioned twice, and is the river dangerous that they made it to the other side safe and sound? Long live the mystery!
