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.
Losing You
Colin Blunstone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear your voice though I know that you're not here
And though you've often turned away
I can't believe that you have never cared
Somethings are simply meant to be
We only have our lines to say
Another lonely night turns into day
And suddenly the truth had dawned on me
I'm losing you
All my fears are coming true
Tonight our star went out
And I am losing you
I'm losing you
There's nothing more that I can do
There's no longer any doubt
And I am losing you
I spend the morning slowly walking
Until I find myself outside your door
Your curtains drawn across your window
I can't help wondering if you're still alone
And if this really is the end
It still feels good to know you're near
Though my travels take me far away
I know my thoughts will bring me here
Even if love disappears
I'm losing you
All my fears are coming true
Tonight our star went out
And I am losing you
I can't forget the words you said
Don't throw it all away
I'm losing you
There's nothing more that I can do
There's no longer any doubt
And I am losing you
Baby come back home soon
I'll be waiting for you
The lyrics of Colin Blunstone's song "Losing You" speaks of the haunting feeling of losing someone that you love. The first line already lays out the context of the song - the persona sees the face of his beloved everywhere he looks and hears her voice even though she is not physically present. It seems as though it is a relationship that has already gone awry because the person has already turned away from him. However, the persona believes that there must have been some form of care all throughout even though it is not overtly shown in the relationship. But despite this belief, the reality of losing his beloved is unavoidable. The world seems to be going on without her and every day feels lonelier than the previous one.
The second verse shows the persona's desperate attempt to hold on to his beloved. He spends his mornings walking slowly and finds himself outside her house. He peers into her window and sees that she is alone, wondering if this is the end of their relationship. But even if it does end, he feels that it is still good to know that she is near, and he will always come back to her even if love disappears.
The chorus repeats the words "I'm losing you" emphasizing the feeling of desperation and helplessness that the persona feels. Despite the fear that he is experiencing, he still holds on to the words that his beloved said not to throw everything away. The last line speaks of hope - a hopeful reassurance that if she comes back, he'll be waiting for her.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection of someone who is struggling to hold on to a relationship that is slowly slipping away. The lyrics are simple yet sincere, and the raw emotions make this song a relatable piece for anyone who has gone through heartbreak.
