Another Song I Wish I’d Written: This Will Be Our Year
Jan 4th, 2009 by benpatton
I have a good feeling about 2009.
This installment of “A Song I Wish I’d Written” seems quite appropriate as we face a new year. It’s by one of the most underrated British bands of the 1960’s, the Zombies, on their 1968 masterpiece, the curiously mispelled “Odessey and Oracle”. (Recorded, I must add, at Abbey Road by Muller and Patton’s friend and collaborator Nick Webb).
The song was written by Rod Argent and Chris White, the band’s killer songwriting duo, lead by Argent’s soulful piano, and sung by the honey voice of Colin Blunstone.
“This will be our year / took a long time to come.”
I feel a bit that way about 2009.
Incidentally, here is a little teaser from my recent concert, which will be released on a DVD some time this year, along with the rambunctious show I did in Cebu, Philippines this past November. It’s called “The Encore Song”.
(This is not the mixed audio, excuse it’s crudeness).

Yay! I heart this song!
(Could you play it one more time?)
