Colin Blunstone
Colin Edward Michael Blunstone (born 24 June 1945) is an English singer-songwriter, best known as a member of the rock band The Zombies and for his participation on various albums with The Alan Parsons Project.
Early years
Colin Blunstone was born in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England. He attended St Albans County Grammar School for Boys.
Rod Argent, Paul Atkinson and Hugh Grundy first played together at a jam on Easter 1961 in St Albans, Hertfordshire. Rod Argent wanted to form a band and initially asked his cousin Jim Rodford to join. Rodford was playing in local band called The Bluetones at the time, so declined. Blunstone and Paul Arnold joined in early 1961 while all five members were still at school. After they won a local contest, they recorded a demo as their prize. Rod Argent's song "She's Not There" got them a deal with Decca.
Music career
Solo work
Blunstone's voice was considered one of the main factors in making The Zombies' single, "She's Not There", a big hit worldwide. In 1968 the band split over management issues, shortly after completing the baroque pop classic LP, Odessey and Oracle. Blunstone briefly worked as a clerk in the insurance business before resuming his musical career. In 1969, he signed with Deram Records and cut three singles under the pseudonym Neil MacArthur, including a re-make of "She's Not There", which charted in the UK.

Keep The Curtains Closed Today
by: Colin BlunstoneLet's keep the curtains closed today
And hope that everyone will stay away
This is our first day for quite a while
Let's keep it just for you and me
I hope that there's no sadness in your heart
Could this be just the start of coming home
Alone again we'll find if we were near
Or was it just the fear of being alone
So I won't promise weep or lie to you
The answer's hide in what we do
Just wish you well and hope that you don't cry
And never, never say goodbye
There's just one thing
I ask of you
There's just one thing
I ask you not to do
Never, never say goodbye
Never, never say goodbye
Let's keep the curtains closed today
Not worry what the people say
The future always seems so far away
