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.

Colin Blunstone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For this precious spark of love to come to me
Now that you're finally here
I don't wanna burn so bright I disappear
We can take our time
Let the flame grow high
Slowburn
Move with me
In a slowburn
Slowburn
Let it be
A slowburn
I don't want to kiss and tell
Drop I love you like a coin in a wishing well
Hoping that they might come true
My one desire to feed the fire of me and you
We can take our time
Let the flame grow high
Slowburn
Move with me
In a slowburn
Slowburn
Let it be
A slowburn
I've waited patiently
For this precious love to come to me
Give me slowburn
Move with me
In a slowburn
Slowburn
Let it be
A slow...
Slowburn
Move with me
In a slowburn
Slowburn
Let it be
A slow.....
