1973 Lyrics

Simona
You're getting older
Your journey's been etched
On your skin

Simona
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been and gone

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out until the morning light
And we sang, here we go again
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing, here we go again

Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone

Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out until the morning light
And we sang, here we go again
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing, here we go again

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out until the morning light
And we sang, here we go again
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing, here we go again

And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973

What is the Meaning of 1973?

This poignant ballad is a nostalgic journey, echoing the sentiments of lost love and the passage of time. James Blunt crafts a narrative around Simona, a figure from his past whose memory is etched into his skin - symbolizing an indelible impression. The song paints vivid images of youthful nights spent in clubs, singing and enjoying each other's company. However, as time moves on, these moments turn into mere memories. The repeated phrase 'here we go again' suggests both the cyclical nature of life and a longing for past times. Despite acknowledging that things have changed ('I guess it's over'), Blunt affirms that he will forever be emotionally tied to those moments in 1973. This song beautifully encapsulates the bittersweet feelings associated with reminiscing about past love. #Nostalgia #LostLove #TimePasses
