The Zombies - She's Not There

"She's Not There" by The Zombies is a timeless classic that epitomizes the jangly, melodic sound of 1960s British Invasion pop rock. Released in 1964, it features Colin Blunstone's distinctive vocals layered over Rod Argent's catchy keyboard riff and the band's tight rhythm section. The song's lyrics tell the story of a man who discovers his romantic interest has vanished without a trace, capturing themes of longing and uncertainty with poetic elegance.

Musically, "She's Not There" is characterized by its infectious melody and the interplay between Argent's organ and Paul Atkinson's guitar, creating a lush, atmospheric backdrop for Blunstone's soulful delivery. The song was a major hit, reaching the top of the charts in the United States and earning The Zombies a lasting place in rock music history. Its enduring appeal lies in its irresistible blend of pop sensibility, melancholic lyrics, and innovative instrumentation, making it a standout track of the 1960s and a cornerstone of The Zombies' acclaimed discography.

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
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
