Waterloo Sunset of course is timeless. Terry and Julie were appar Terrence Stamp and Julie Christie, but then Ray reneged on that explanation. Also, the story of the writing of the song is beautifully explored in Famous Tracheotomies by Okkervil River.
Also Come Dancing was maybe my favorite song when i was 8. Do you remember when it was a frequent (drunken) encore by the Walkmen in the 'early' days?
Finally: Synchronicity II was one of the three songs my first ever band (in high school) covered. (The others were Sweet Leaf and War Pigs by Black Sabbath). I'm still very close with my bandmates. One went into finance, and one became an early member of Broken Social Scene.
i think the 5 albums reference was an easter egg 🙄
Oh man, lots to comment on today.
