"1973" - James Blunt

[johnnywest]

Of his few singles, this is by far my favorite.

[Baby Spice]

I enjoyed it when it was out, but I haven't thought about it in years.

[Glove Slap]

There was a vast difference in how this performed in different territories.

It flopped in the US and didn't do nearly as well as you'd have expected in the UK and Australia given his previous album's gargantuan success, but was a colossal smash in Continental Europe. I remember hearing this a lot in late 2007.

I never really had a strong opinion on this song either way, like most of his material. I didn't mind it though.
