Separated
Hollies · Moving Finger [1997]
And keep me out all of the time?
Do you think I don't love you?
It's only in your mind
You don't give me your reason
You don't explain all your ways
It must be the change of the season
That's all I can say
Was it something that I said that made you stop loving me?
I only want for the best
Not to see you in my life makes me so unimportant
I can't live with myself
Gone, gone is tomorrow
I'm only living for today
I never thought you'd ever leave me
Now you have gone away
Separated
The Hollies remain one of the most enduring forces in British rock, celebrated for their intricate vocal harmonies and melodic songwriting. 'Separated' appears on their 1997 album Moving Finger, a release that reflects the band's continued ability to craft polished pop-rock anthems decades after their initial rise to fame. While the group is historically associated with the Merseybeat sound of the 1960s, their later catalogue demonstrates a commitment to maintaining high production standards and tight arrangements. This track exemplifies the band's signature style, blending accessible melodies with the rich, layered vocals that defined their career. The recording stands as a testament to the group's longevity, showcasing how they successfully navigated the shifting musical landscape of the late twentieth century while retaining the core elements that made them a staple of the genre.
