4. An unsigned English Heavy Melodic Instrumental band which formed in 2000.
Opus formed in early 2001 and debuted a year later with their 6 track (non-instrumental) EP Questions. After a year and a half of touring in and around London and supporting bands such as The Datsuns, Kid Galahad and The blueprint Opus decided to perform an instrumental one off show in their local area Frimley. Much of their set was improvised and the band played their set with total belief in what they were doing that night. From that day Opus have only ever performed instrumental sets.
In 2004 they went on to record their self-titled 30 minute long, one song self-released EP OPUS. They have since gone on to develop their distinctive style of heavy, yet melodic instrumentation and have been working to create new material. Sample Aura is the bands 3rd studio EP and was released on 10th March 2006. They recorded a free track called Antipathy which could be downloaded from their official site.
Their influences can be found in artists such as Tool, Mogwai and King Crimson.

All I Want Is You
Opus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watchin' all the trees makes me feel alone
My heart was always true
All I want is you
The snow and rain is blowin' over London Town
Everybody's busy, can't slow down
Somebody tell me what to do
All I want is you
All I want is you
What I never knew
I lost my way somehow
I've gotta know by now - All I want is you
Sometime ago I remember as we took a walk
Laughin' and talkin' - crossin'the park
Starin' into space feelin' blue
All I want is you
Down Abbey road we're walkin' hand in hand
Breathin' the air of a foreign land
The view from Columbia is true
All I want is you
All I want is you
What I never knew
I lost my way somehow
I've gotta know by now - All I want is you
But I never knew
I lost my somehow
I've gotta know by now - All I want is you

Line by Line Meaning
Sittin' in a train so far away from home
I'm currently in a train, far from my home
Watchin' all the trees makes me feel alone
While watching the trees outside my train, loneliness envelops me
My heart was always true
I have always been sincere with my heart
All I want is you
You are all that I desire
The snow and rain is blowin' over London Town
The weather in London is cold and wet
Everybody's busy, can't slow down
Everyone is occupied and unable to take a break
Somebody tell me what to do
I am seeking guidance and direction
All I want is you
Despite everything, what I want is still you
All I want is you
What I never knew
I lost my way somehow
I've gotta know by now - All I want is you
Even though I never realized it before, I am now aware that I am lost without you
Sometime ago I remember as we took a walk
I recall a time when we went for a walk together
Laughin' and talkin' - crossin' the park
We were laughing and chatting as we walked through the park
Starin' into space feelin' blue
Despite the happy moment, I was still feeling sad
All I want is you
Even then, all I wanted was you
Down Abbey road we're walkin' hand in hand
We strolled hand in hand down Abbey Road
Breathin' the air of a foreign land
Enjoying the atmosphere of an unknown place
The view from Columbia is true
The sight from Columbia is truthful
All I want is you
Despite the wonderful experience, all I still want is you
But I never knew
I lost my somehow
I've gotta know by now - All I want is you
Even though I was unaware before, I am now conscious of the fact that I am incomplete without you
