PopMatters.com premiered this video, and here's what I told them:
“‘1973’ is one of the songs on the record that has absolutely nothing to do with me. It’s complete fiction, a mix between ‘1941’ by Nilsson and ‘That Was Your Mother’ by Paul Simon,” says Robley. “It’s sung from the point of a view of a deadbeat dad returning after too long away to rationalize his absence. I have a great dad. I wasn’t born in 1973. But I had the chord changes, and when I started to write a melody those were the words that came.”
"1973" appears on THE GREAT MAKE BELIEVER. Cutthroat Pop Records, 2016. Available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/chrisrobley2.
