Walker Brothers - Love minus Zero 1966

This beautiful Rumba was written by Bob Dylan and performed by The Walker Brothers in 1966

Lyrics:

My love she speaks like silence,

With no ideals or violence,

She doesn't have to say she's faithful,

Yet she's true, like ice, like fire.

People carry roses,

Make promises by the hours,

My love she laughs like the flowers,

Valentines can't buy her.

In the dime stores and bus stations,

People talk of situations,

Read books, repeat quotations,

Draw conclusions on the wall.

Some speak of the future,

My love she speaks softly,

She knows there's no success like failure

And that failure's no success at all.

My love she speaks like silence,

With no ideals or violence,

She doesn't have to say she's faithful,

Yet she's true, like ice, like fire.

People carry roses,

Make promises by the hours,

My love she laughs like the flowers,

Valentines can't buy her.

Valentines can't buy her.

Valentines can't buy her.

Valentines can't buy her.

Back in 1967 my then girlfriend was a massive Walker Brothers fan, and everytime I went to see her she insisted on playing their L.P. "Take it easy with the Walker Brothers". I was less than impressed with them, but one night I heard this thought it was totally hypnotic, I was completely hooked on it. Hearing it now brings back all those memories from a very happy time in my life a long time ago. If you ever read this Linda, Hello !

Very nice, but I miss the "raven" verse from the original song. The singers seemed embarrassed that there's a guitar solo in the recording with no guitarist to be seen. Must have been a session player.

A happy birthday to :Scott Walker (1943) : American singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. He is noted for his distinctive baritone voice and for the unorthodox career path which has taken him from 1960s pop icon to 21st century experimental musician.Originally coming to fame in the mid-1960s singing orchestral pop ballads as the frontman of The Walker Brothers, Walker went on to a solo career balancing a light entertainment/MOR ballad approach with increasing artistic innovations in arrangement and writing perspective. Despite a series of acclaimed albums, a disastrous drop in sales forced him back into straight MOR recordings with little of his own artistic input. This in turn eventually led to a Walker Brothers reunion in the mid-1970s (although the latter eventually moved, by mutual consent, into more experimental areas).Since the mid-1980s Walker has revived his solo career while drastically reinventing his artistic and compositional methods, via a series of acclaimed and vividly experimental albums. These combine his iconic singing voice with an unsettling avant-garde approach owing more to modernist and post-modernist classical composition than it does to his pop singer past. The change in approach has been compared to "Andy Williams reinventing himself as Stockhausen".Walker continues to release solo material, and is currently signed to 4AD Records. As a record producer or guest performer he has worked with a number of artists including Pulp, Ute Lemper and Bat For Lashes.Despite being American, Walker's success has largely come in the United Kingdom, where his first 3 solo albums reached the top ten. Walker has lived in the UK since 1965; he became a British citizen in 1970.The Walker Brothers - Love Minus ZeroOriginal : Bob Dylan From the album : Take It Easy with The Walker Brothers (1965)Song Trivia :"Love Minus Zero/No Limit" was written as a tribute to Dylan's future wife Sara Lowndes. The lyrics reflect her Zen-like detachment through a series of opposites, for example, that she "speaks like silence" and is both "like ice" and "like fire". Another famous line from the song also captures this dichotomy: "She knows there's no success like failure, and that failure's no success at all."The first verse of the song has the singer infatuated with the woman, admiring her inner strength. The three remaining verses reflect the inauthentic chaos that the singer has to deal with in the outside world, from which the lover's Zen-like calm provides needed refuge. The final image is of the lover being like some raven at the singer's window with a broken wing. This image recalls Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", but is also a symbol of the lover's vulnerability in spite of her strength. The broken wing may also be a reference to the woman's need for shelter, or else to a flaw in her. The style of the song's lyrics are comparable to William Blake's poem, "The Sick Rose", in their economy of language and use of a detached tone to express the narrator's intense emotional experience. The song's surreal images anticipate the psychedelic songs Dylan would later write.Some of the song's images evoke prophecies from the Biblical Book of Daniel. For example, the line:Statues made of matchsticksCrumble into one anotheris reminiscent of Daniel's prophecy that Nebuchadnezzar would build a statue of precious metals only to see it crumble like "chaff". Another line in the song states that people "Draw conclusions on the wall." Drawing conclusions on the wall rather than from the wall evokes the story from the Book of Daniel where a hand writes on a wall the words "MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN," warning that the Neo-Babylonian Empire was about to end.One interpretation of the lover in this song, as well as that which features in "She Belongs to Me", is that she is Dylan's muse. In each song, the inaccessibility of the lover/muse can be interpreted as Dylan's acknowledgment of his own limitations—limitations that he attempts to overcome in writing the songs. In this interpretation, the final raven image sitting at the window can be viewed as a symbol of the muse's inaccessibility, and the raven's broken wing a symbol of its wildness. A related interpretation is that the song reflects an artist's "self-awareness through isolation." The line "She knows there's no success like failure, and that failure's no success at all" can be seen as a reflection of the isolation of the American writer.The original title of the song was "Dime Store", which originates from the line "In the dime stores and bus stations..." The official title "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" is, according to Dylan, a fraction with "Love Minus Zero" on the top and "No Limit" on the bottom, and this is how the title appeared on early pressings of the Bringing It All Back Home LP. Therefore, the correct pronunciation of the song's title is "Love Minus Zero over No Limit". In theory, the resulting quotient would be equal to "absolutely unlimited love." The title is also based on gambling terminology that would mean that all love is a risk.
