About 1973

"1973" was written by Mark Batson and James Blunt. It was the first single released from James Blunt's second studio album "All the Lost Souls". It is said that the song was inspired by the club scene on the island of Ibiza, where Blunt maintains a house and enjoys the social scene. Blunt stated in a radio interview with KISFM on 8 September 2007 that the girl from his lyrics "Simona" was indeed based on a real woman that he had met at a club. Blunt was not born until early 1974; he was therefore conceived in 1973. .

1973 Lyrics

[00:36.00] Simona, you're getting older
[00:42.59] Your journey's been etched on your skin
[00:51.76] Simona, wish I had known that
[00:58.14] What seemed so strong has been and gone
[01:04.78]
[01:07.09] I would call you up at a Saturday night
[01:10.99] And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
[01:14.83] And we sang, "Here we go again"
[01:22.50] And though time goes by, I will always be
[01:26.26] In a club with you in 1973
[01:32.19] Singing, "Here we go again"
[01:36.46]
[01:38.47] Simona, wish I was sober
[01:45.09] So I could see clearly now the rain has gone
[01:54.04] Simona, I guess it's over
[02:00.70] My memory plays our tune, the same old song
[02:09.22] I would call you every Saturday night
[02:13.30] And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
[02:17.22] And we sang, "Here we go again"
[02:24.83] And though time goes by, I will always be
[02:28.71] In a club with you in 1973
[02:34.53] Singing, "Here we go again"
[02:39.14]
[02:56.15] I would call you up every Saturday night
[03:00.20] And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
[03:04.02] And we sang, "Here we go again"
[03:11.72] And though time goes by, I will always be
[03:15.65] In a club with you in 1973
[03:21.42] Singing, "Here we go again"
[03:27.46] I would call you up every Saturday night
[03:31.21] And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
[03:35.29] And we sang, "Here we go again"
[03:43.05] And though time goes by, I will always be
[03:46.98] In a club with you in 1973
[03:52.69] Singing, "Here we go again"
[03:58.55] And though time goes by, I will always be
[04:02.34] In a club with you in 1973
[04:08.71]
