"Annie" (Live from The Garden Shed) – 3:26īillboard reviewer Chuck Taylor said that the song's "idtempo pacing" resembles 10,000 Maniacs's " Trouble Me", a song from the band's 1989 album Blind Man's Zoo. "The '70s sound like they were a time of excess and great flamboyance", he says, "but a sense of fun as well." The video was shot in the Universal Studios Lot in Los Angeles. The video (directed by Paul R Brown), in which a modern-day Blunt strolls among '70s street scenes, reflects the song's nostalgic tone. JAMES BLUNT SATELLITES PLUS
CD2 includes a live version of "Annie", the video for "1973", plus a further new track, "So Happy", which was written by Felix Howard and Blunt. Beard also provides backing vocals for the song. CD1 features a brand new track, "Dear Katie", which was written by Blunt's long-time keyboardist Paul Beard. The single was released on three physical formats. The lyrics include references to a few American popular songs: " As Time Goes By", written in 1931 by Herman Hupfeld and popularised by Dooley Wilson playing the character of 'Sam' in the 1942 film Casablanca " It's the Same Old Song", written by the legendary songwriting team Holland–Dozier–Holland and recorded in 1965 on the Motown label by the Four Tops " Here We Go Again", popularised in 1967 by Ray Charles and re-popularized as a duet with Norah Jones upon the 2005 posthumous release of Charles' masterwork album, Genius Loves Company, and " I Can See Clearly Now", written and recorded by Johnny Nash, a song which spent November at the No. The song has been remixed by Pete Tong and Dave Spoon as part of their Ibiza 2007 Remix Project, and Tong started playing the remix in July 2007 when acting as DJ at Pacha, the Ibiza club that inspired the song and opened in 1973. The song was inspired by the club scene in Ibiza, where Blunt maintains a residence and enjoys the social scene.
"He was trying to write an English singer-songwriter song, and I was trying the Dr. (verse) C / G / C / G / C / G / D (bridge "seems like.") C / D / Em / G."1973" was written by James Blunt and Mark Batson. You can palm mute this or just play it clean.
I take no credit for this - the chords were posted by a youtube user. I went onto youtube ready to start recording alongside a piano cover of the song when in the comments someone posted some great simple chords for this song that work pretty well. It's been minorly bugging me not being able to find simple chords for this song.
