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.

I Want To Fly
Colin Blunstone Lyrics
Bathed in starlight
Birds wheel hard across the sky
Me, I want to fly
And the days go so slow
With no way to satisfy
I just must break free, 'cause I'
I want to fly
Leave the ordinary world
And say goodbye
Kiss the earth and make a wish
And say a prayer for the lonely ones
Clouds come steepling
Peopling fantasies that I
Watch as they race by
And my heart is breaking
Aching for the reason why
Me, I want to fly
I want to fly
Leave the ordinary world
And say goodbye
Catch the wind and kiss the sun
And make a prayer to the only one
Sometimes I,
Feel like I
Only exist, and I just
I need to
Be free to
Become myself
Some lay sleeping
Deep inside a lullaby
Me, I want to fly!
And my heart is breaking
Birds wheel hard across the sky
Me, I want to fly
And the days go so slow
With no way to satisfy
I just must break free, 'cause I'
I want to fly
Leave the ordinary world
And say goodbye
And say a prayer for the lonely ones
Clouds come steepling
Peopling fantasies that I
Watch as they race by
And my heart is breaking
Aching for the reason why
Me, I want to fly
I want to fly
Leave the ordinary world
And say goodbye
Catch the wind and kiss the sun
And make a prayer to the only one
Sometimes I,
Feel like I
Only exist, and I just
I need to
Be free to
Become myself
Some lay sleeping
Deep inside a lullaby
Me, I want to fly!
And my heart is breaking
