According to the publication, the song, written by the band's singer and guitarist Ray Davies, was originally titled "Liverpool Sunset." However, the Beatles' February 1967 hit, "Penny Lane," which also depicts an area in Liverpool, made him change the tune's title.
During a different interview about the 1967 hit song, Davies said he felt comfortable with changing the title of the tune to "Waterloo Sunset" because he's "from London" and "had a few memories of Waterloo," located in Central London, specifically near the river.
"It was all very simple," said the British musician in the interview.
"It's one of the most structured guitar parts my brother, Dave, has ever done on a record. Really great arrangement," said the 81-year-old.
"I'm very proud of the Kinks' recording," said Davies.
