  • Got no reason for comin' to me
    And the rain runnin' down
    There's no reason
    And the same voice comin' to me like it's all slowin' down
    And believe me

    I was the one who let you know
    I was your sorry ever after seventy-four, seventy-five

    It's not easy
    Nothin' to say 'cause it's already said
    It's never easy
    When I look on in your eyes then I find that I'll do fine
    When I look on in your eyes then I'll do better

    I was the one who let you know
    I was your sorry ever after seventy-four, seventy-five
    Givin' me more and I'll define
    'Cause you're really only after seventy-four, seventy-five

    Got no reason for comin' to me
    And the rain runnin' down
    There's no reason
    When I look on in your eyes then I find that I'll do fine
    When I look on in your eyes then I'll do better

    I was the one who let you know
    I was your sorry ever after seventy-four, seventy-five
    Givin' me more and I'll define
    'Cause you're really only after seventy-four, seventy-five

    I was the one who let you know
    I was your sorry ever after seventy-four, seventy-five
    Givin' me more and I'll define
    'Cause you're really only after seventy-four, seventy-five

    Seventy-four, seventy-five

  • Tom from Appleton, WiBack in like '87 or '88 a buddy asked if I wanted to go to a show at First Ave (Mpls) for free - he knew a roadie with the Connells and they were opening for Jerry Harrison that night. He was on the guest list. Since none of us had any cash, we needed to write a check (drawn on a bank in Washington DC) and the bar took it (for $20 over so we could keep drinking). Only in the friendly midwest... I later heard this song on the Cities' 97 (also Mpls)
  • Finn from Cincinnati, Oh9/20/2010 - Pam, The Connells do still exist. They may have had a couple of their original members leave the band, but The Connells have never "broken-up". You can check them out on the web at www.theconnells.com. I highly recommend you listen to the other songs on "Ring" (the album that 74-75 came from-- they're fantastic, if not better.
  • Pam from Port Louis, MauritiusI really love that song, and was sad when heard that the group no longer exist
  • Benjamin from Amsterdam, NetherlandsGreat song, but the lyrics are still puzzling.
  • Mario from Magdeburg, GermanyOne of the Connell brothers finished school in 1974/1975, maybe both of them. So they wrote this song about the reunion of the class of 1974/1975.
