Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
I've always liked this song. I've always liked The Kinks. So that's why I thought I'd have a go at playing this fabulous song.
Lyrics
Waterloo Sunset (Ray Davis) 1967 Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, flowing into the night? People so busy, make 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 (Sha-la-la) Every day I look at the world from my window (Sha-la-la) But chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine (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 (Sha-la-la) Every day I look at the world from my window (Sha-la-la) But chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine (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 Waterloo sunset's fine Waterloo sunset's fine

Absolutely brilliant! Fantastic job on the vocals & you nailed that Kinks guitar tone. Love the little additions, they enhance the song perfectly. Very nostalgic trip back to my childhood in London!
