The Zombies-She's not there

    The Zombies樂團成員Rod Argent因中風宣布立即退出巡演。Rod Argent的退休迫使這支英國搖滾樂團取消了所有即將舉行的演出,包括原定於本月晚些時候舉行的兩場英國音樂節演出。 

樂團經理Chris Tuthill 與 Cindy da Silva  在一份聲明中表示:「我們很遺憾地報告,殭屍樂團的創始人、鍵琴手兼主要詞曲作者Rod Argent中風了。 他們補充道,「Rod 

最近剛結束英國《Zombies》巡演,並在中風發生之前與他心愛的妻子凱西在倫敦度過了一個週末,慶祝他的 79 歲生日和他們的52 週年結婚紀念日。 

此前,健康問題曾阻止Argent巡迴演出。去年他選擇不參加Zombies樂團的美國巡迴。 據報道,這位79歲的鍵盤手正在考慮是否因健康狀況不佳而停止現場表演。

來自英格蘭Hertfordshire 的搖滾樂團The Zombies , 1964 年以英國冠軍曲 “She's not there ”成名,1967 年解散後Rod 

Argent於1969年改組為Argent合唱團,他們又以Time of the season獲得英國冠軍。

“She's not there ”後來獲得滾石雜誌RS500第291名,是一首搖滾樂界的名曲

。憑藉 Colin Blun 輕薄的嗓音和阿金特 Argent 跳躍的鋼琴,“She's not there ”成為英國搖滾『入侵』美國時期最爵士樂的單曲之一。在愛上貓王和披頭四期間, Argent 

發現了Miles Davis,後者成為了他潛意識中的影響者。「當我創作並演奏“ She's not there ” 時, 我腦子裡最後想到的就是爵士樂或 Miles,Argent說」。

She's not there

作詞/作曲:Rodney Terence Argent


Well, no one told me about her, the way she lied
Well, no one told me about her, how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

Well, no one told me about her, what could I do?
Well, no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
