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.

How Could We Dare To Be Wrong
Colin Blunstone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Take me up
Fill my cup with your wine
I'm your home
And you are mine
I'll never leave you
Now that I've seen you
I'll never breath a word of what I've found

Make my eyes
Tell no lies
To my heart
I've known the way
Right from the start
You know you'll see me
Only when you free me
When our darkest hour are passes to dark

[Chorus:]
How could we fail to see
Everything that we could be
Now that we've written this song
How could we dare to be wrong

There is no
Turning back from the truth
It took so long
But now I'm there
Take my word
Show me you've heard
I'll never ask again what I ask now

[Chorus]
How could we fail to see
Everything that we could be
Now that we've written this song
How could we dare to be wrong

To be wrong

Overall Meaning

in this context refers to the fear of making a mistake in a relationship. The singer is expressing his trust and commitment to his partner, acknowledging that he has found his home in her. He promises never to leave and keep their love to themselves, not revealing it to anyone else. He asks her to make his eyes tell no lies to his heart - to be honest with him always. He believes they've known the way since the beginning, and he will only be present when she frees him. The chorus reaffirms their love's certainty, and the singer questions how they could dare to be wrong.

Overall, the song's message is about having faith in one's love, trusting the process and believing that it will not go wrong. It is about discovering true love and embracing it, recognizing that there is no turning back from the truth that they have found in one another.
