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.

Will You Ever Know Me
Opus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the middle of the night
I was surprised to hear your voice on the phone
5000 miles between you and me
You told me: "baby,
I want you to come home"
But I had come so far, I was waiting so long
My independence is the air that I breathe
And I can't give it all up
Just give it all up for your sake
Will you ever know me
Will I ever change my mind
Can we share each other's hearts
In knowing our love
Must be open to time
Will you ever trust me
And believe me that I care
Is it just your cautions heart
That gives you the trouble
Baby, why don't you dare
And I called through the night
Across the sea
Over the mountains and trees
With the wind through the rain
Along the alleys and lanes
Across the fields and the hills
Will it ever reach in
And will you ever know me
Will I ever change my mind
Can we share each other's hearts
In knowing our love
Must be open to time
Will you ever trust me
And believe me that I care
Is it just your cautions heart
That gives you the trouble
Baby, why don't you dare
Will you ever know me
Will you ever know me
Will you ever know me
Will you ever know me
Will you ever know me
The song "Will You Ever Know Me" by Opus is a contemplative ballad about the complexity of relationships and the difficulty of making decisions about them. The song appears to be about a long-distance relationship, with the singer receiving a phone call from a partner who wants them to come home. However, the singer is torn between their desire for independence and their feelings for their partner. The lyrics suggest that the singer has chosen a certain path in life, and their partner's request to come home forces them to reconsider that path and whether they can give up their independence.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and uncertainty. The singer wonders whether their partner will ever truly know them and whether they themselves will ever change their mind. They express a desire to share each other's hearts, but acknowledge that this can only happen over time. The questioning tone of the lyrics suggests that the singer is searching for answers but doesn't know where to find them.
The song ends with a number of repetitions of the phrase "will you ever know me", emphasizing the sense of uncertainty and longing that permeates the entire track. Overall, "Will You Ever Know Me" is a thoughtful and introspective look at the complexities of relationships and the emotions that come with them.

You called me up
You reached out to me
In the middle of the night
During an unexpected time
I was surprised to hear your voice on the phone
I did not expect you to call me
5000 miles between you and me
There is a great distance separating us
You told me: "baby, I want you to come home"
You expressed a desire for me to return to where you are
But I had come so far, I was waiting so long
I have invested time and effort in my current situation
And I chose the life that I wanna take
I have made a decision to pursue a certain path
My independence is the air that I breathe
My ability to make my own choices is essential to me
And I can't give it all up
I cannot sacrifice my autonomy
Just give it all up for your sake
To fulfill your wishes
Will you ever know me
Do you truly understand who I am
Will I ever change my mind
Will I alter my current perspective
Can we share each other's hearts
Can we truly connect on an emotional level
In knowing our love must be open to time
Our relationship must be allowed to naturally evolve
Will you ever trust me
Can you have faith in me
And believe me that I care
That I truly have affection for you
Is it just your cautions heart
Is your apprehension holding you back
That gives you the trouble
Causing you uncertainty and anxiety
Baby, why don't you dare
Why not take a chance and explore the possibilities
And I called through the night
I made an effort to reach out
Across the sea
Over a large body of water
Over the mountains and trees
Across great barriers
With the wind through the rain
In difficult circumstances
Along the alleys and lanes
Through narrow and winding paths
Across the fields and the hills
Through open spaces and challenging terrain
Will it ever reach in
Will my message and intent be received
Will you ever know me
Will you ever truly understand who I am and what I want
Will I ever change my mind
Will I ever reconsider my current choices and desires
Can we share each other's hearts
Can our love truly connect us on a deeper level
In knowing our love must be open to time
Acknowledging that our relationship will evolve
Will you ever trust me
Can your apprehension be overcome
And believe me that I care
Trusting in my sincerity
Is it just your cautions heart
Recognizing the source of uncertainty
That gives you the trouble
Understanding the cause of hesitation
Baby, why don't you dare
Encouraging taking risks and exploring possibilities
Will you ever know me
Questioning if true understanding can ever be achieved
Will you ever know me
Repeating the question of whether true understanding is possible
Will you ever know me
Repeating the question of whether true understanding is possible
Will you ever know me
Repeating the question of whether true understanding is possible
Will you ever know me
Repeating the question of whether true understanding is possible
