On Waterloo Sunset

Hello! I'm writing this while listening to The Kink's Waterloo Sunset. It's a profound song about the river, sunset, lovers, and London. It is one of those songs that'll always have a special place in my playlist because of its immense power to uplift the spirit despite its name (Battle of Waterloo). 


I think it's a human thing to have a deep connection with rivers and sunsets. Sometimes, I can't imagine how life would've been had I lived somewhere far from a river. Although I rarely spent time along the riverbanks, crossing the bridges of Manila and watching the river reflects the yellow and orange hues of sunset make me feel as if those are the only sources of happiness after a long day of work. 

"You won't feel afraid nor alone when you gaze at the sunset," says the song.

Interesting takes on this beautiful song:
