The Zombies disbanded. In the early 70's, Blunstone re-emerged as a solo act, and scored several major hits. The music featured rhythm guitar now and ranged from string arranged melodies, to rock, to American folk. The Zombies were never far away; for instance, "Andorra", written by co-Zombies Rod Argent and White, is a remake of "Time of the Season".
"One Year" was his first solo album.
In the late 70's Colin lent his voice to The Alan Parsons Project, a logical progression from his solo work, as can be heard in a song such as "Old and Wise".
Colin is currently touring and recording again with Rod Argent, another founder member of the Zombies, performing both new material and hits from their joint and solo careers.

Any Other Way
Colin Blunstone Lyrics
Still remember seeing you standing there
Alone in a crowded room
Suddenly your presence filled the air
Nothing that I could do
Always knew you were the only one
I never told you so
Thought you'd understand what I had done when
I had to let you go
Thought that we could prove ourselves
Show that we were strong
Should have written every day
Now I know that I was wrong
If there was any other way
Don't you think I would have found it by now?
Found a way around it somehow
If there was any other way
Left you on a rainy summer's day
I thought you understood
You turned and never looked around again
I knew you never would
We were only children then
Living on borrowed time
Stars were shining in your eyes
Tears were filling up in mine
If there was any other way
Don't you think I would have found it by now?
Found a way round it somehow
If there was any other way
And if the world should end today
I'd take my last breath whispering your name
Wondering if you'd ever felt the same
If there was any other way
Still remember seeing you standing there
Alone in a crowded room
Suddenly your presence filled the air
Nothing that I could do
Alone in a crowded room
Suddenly your presence filled the air
Nothing that I could do
Always knew you were the only one
I never told you so
Thought you'd understand what I had done when
I had to let you go
Thought that we could prove ourselves
Should have written every day
Now I know that I was wrong
If there was any other way
Don't you think I would have found it by now?
Found a way around it somehow
If there was any other way
Left you on a rainy summer's day
I thought you understood
You turned and never looked around again
I knew you never would
We were only children then
Living on borrowed time
Stars were shining in your eyes
Tears were filling up in mine
If there was any other way
Don't you think I would have found it by now?
Found a way round it somehow
If there was any other way
And if the world should end today
I'd take my last breath whispering your name
Wondering if you'd ever felt the same
If there was any other way
Still remember seeing you standing there
Alone in a crowded room
Suddenly your presence filled the air
Nothing that I could do
