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.

Opus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you're so nice all the time
you're so kind - all the time
you make me blind all the time
Im looking at you
you're so straight on your line
you're so great on your line
You ever give me the things that I need
Angie you can change me
you know you can do everything with me
Angie you rearrange me
you do Hanky Panky with me, show me the key
Im dreaming of you
you've been the angel of mine
the only girl of mine
the greatest love of mine
I'm searching for you
I have lost you sometime
you flew away the last time
don't know what to do all the time
You ever gave me the things that I need
Angie you've changed me
you know you could do everything with me
Angie you rearranged me
you did Hanky Panky with me, and I lost the key
The song "Angie" by Opus appears to be a love song about a woman named Angie who has had a significant impact on the singer's life. The opening lines express the singer's appreciation for Angie's kindness and how she is always nice to him. He goes on to say that she "makes him blind," suggesting that he is so enamored with her that he is unable to think clearly when she is around.
The chorus of the song seems to suggest that Angie is a powerful force in the singer's life. He believes that she has the ability to change him completely and can do anything with him. The line "you do Hanky Panky with me, show me the key" is a bit ambiguous but could be interpreted as a sexual reference or simply as Angie showing the singer the way to unlock his true self.
The second verse of the song continues with the theme of Angie being a powerful force in the singer's life. He dreams of her as the angel of his life and the greatest love he has ever known. However, he also suggests that he has lost her and does not know what to do with himself. The final lines of the song repeat the chorus, highlighting Angie's transformative power in the singer's life.
