"Violence of Summer (Love's Taking Over)" is the 21st single by Duran Duran, and the first single from the 1990 Liberty album.
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.

Famous quotes containing the words violence and/or summer:
“For most Northerners, Texas is the home of real men. The cowboys, the rednecks, the outspoken self-made right-wing millionaires strike us as either the best or worst examples of American manliness.... The ideal is not an illusion nor is it contemptible, no matter what damage it may have done. Many people who scorn it in conversation want to submit to it in bed. Those who believe machismo reeks of violence alone choose to forget it once stood for honor as well.”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
“What is green? The grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is violet? Clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
