Don't bother, she's not there...

Well let me tell you about the way she move, the way she acted and the color of her hair. Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright, but she's not there.


Nope. THAT IS NOT FROM ME. It is actually a lyric from the band The Zombie back in the '60s. I heard it on Bfm on the way back from office one day and reside in my head forever since. Upon reaching home that night I quickly goo.gl a bit of the lyrics that I could make of and wallah, a few version of the song She’s Not There came out as the result.

Then, using the song title, I search for the song on youtube and found a few. One is from the legend Santana then another one from The Zombie which I never heard before. The release date of the vidz was in the 60's so I assume it was the original and brave myself to click on the link.


The Zombie - She's not there



Yes... I know... It is the popular style of the 60's and from the sound of the hysterical shouting girl, there's no doubt the band is popular too.(Well, the song still nice to be heard even in the 00's and it will still be in the 10's). Even though the image does bring down the enthusiast that was hype from my radio listening to video watching, I can't say that totally destroy the sweetness of the lyrics and the musical rhythm that this piece of art bring.


Next, I click on the Santana version and it is a live concert. Being Santana, the guitar work as usual overworked and niceeeeeeeeee~!! I do enjoy both version but I really ‘bluerghh’ a club music version of this song that totally diluted the sweetness and kill the mood of the song.

Santana - She's not there (live)


How should I put this song actually? It is very sweet song and nicely composes music. It has a mood of uncaring about a strong feeling that he has toward a girl and in the end he just don't care anymore. It doesn't bring sadness but it does show in the way he sings it. I just love this song so much! I thank Bfm for playing those great oldies song. My generation needs that. Btw, you can listen to it online @ live.bfm.my but be warned, it is not just entertainment over there. They have other great stuff too like talk-show and interview but I guess others won't like it soo much. There's music only sunday and saturday but there's football live telecast on saturday and I'm not a big fan. Enough promoting Bfm. I'm paid to do so but I do enjoy sharing it with you guys.. ;-). Anyway, I share with you the lyrics of the song I was talking about earlier. Enjoy!! ^_^

The Zombies - She's Not There Lyrics


Well, no one told me about her

The way she lied

Well, no one told me about her

How many people cried



Well, it's too late to say you're sorry

How would I know, why should I care

Please don't bother trying to find her

She's not there...oh oh oh



Nobody told me about her

What could I do

Well, nobody told me about her

Though they all knew



Well, it's too late to say you're sorry

How would I know, why should I care

Please don't bother trying to find her

She's not there....



Well, let me tell you about the way she looked

The way she acted, the color of her hair

Her voice is soft and cool

Her eyes are clear and bright

But she's not there...
