Having finished the 1980s with the ''Decade'' singles compilation, Duran Duran found the 1990s a new challenge, in which success would initially elude them. The lack of success for "Violence of Summer" would shadow the band for the next few years, until 1993's "Ordinary World" brought them a new lease of life. ==About the song== "Violence of Summer" is a bright, simple rock song, with ringing piano-like chords over a slick bass underpinning. Lyrically, the song plays with familiar Duran themes: of fleeting romance in the face of sexual politics, and mars-meets-venus peculiarities between the genders. Le Bon continues to set these preoccupations into more realist scenarios, challenging himself to leave behind the opaque mysticism of the band's first three albums. Also worth noting lyrically, is this tracks return to the U.S.-inspired lyrics of ''Notorious'': "going South where her mother writes", and "breaking heads in the sugar shack" (which references the cover art of Marvin Gaye's ''I Want You''.) It was released 23 July 1990 in the UK, and 11 August in the US. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Violence of Summer (Love's Taking Over)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
