Dit nummer van Anita Meyer is al enige jaren oud, maar heeft op een paar momenten een herleving meegemaakt, o.a. door Glennis Grace and Maan tijdens de Beste Zangers uitzendingen.
Met dergelijke optredens en uitvoeringen blijft dit nummer een van de sterkste nummers van Anita Meyer die de tand des tijds makkeliijk doorstaan!
Hier onder de oudste versie die ik kon vinden van Anita Meyer zelf in 1981!

Anita Meyer – They Don't Play Our Love Song Anymore
Once we used to sing along in perfect harmony
to a song that used to sell well in our days
Every-one who heard that song would sing that melody
Yes it's funny how the time has slipped away
I haven't heard it for a while, correct me if I'm wrong
But it's been ages since I've heard that song
They don't play our love song anymore
No-one in the world will sing the parts to that score
and it's bringing me down 'cause the love we once
found is gone. They play a diff'rent love song now
And as we talked it over we kept thinking of that song
and the way we used to dance when it would play, Yeah
we'd been growing older, staying home nights for too long
so we tried the places where the bands still played
I walked up to the man who sang the song I loved so well
and he laughed and told me, man it wouldn't sell
I'm sorry to tell you but…
We don't play that love song anymore
and no one in the band will play the parts to that score
'cause the beat goes out of time
and the words they don't seem to rhyme anymore
They don't play our love song anymore
though it worked for a while, seems that song is out of style
like our love, just like our love
'cause they don't play our love song anymore
