I don't know if you'll see this, but thank you for this song. My Fiancee and I have loved it ever since it was first released. We are getting married this year, and we both agreed immediately for this to be our song to dance first to as husband and wife. Thank you.
Haha how off base you are. Stop applying your "magic-fantasy-fiction" to genuinely great music. Your rapist/incestuous/spiteful/wrath-filled "god" has no place amongst wholesome, passionate, loving musicians like Roo Panes.
(UPDATED) Well you know me with that ancient gaze Stripping down with yesterday's eyes You know me as I was you see me as I will be And I still had a lot of growing When you took me and you shaped me with those hands You know me better than myself Make me better than I am Oh, you know me well Know me well Know me well Oh, you know me well Know me well Know me well When I think upon my past I see I loved you many years before you came in my hopes and my dreams With the wax and the moon wanes And you saw what I could be Please teach me how to be what I was made to be See without you I was nothing But with you can be anything Oh, you know me well Know me well Know me well Oh, you know me well Know me well Know me well What can I fear When I know that I walk by your side You're the fortress Within which I got nothing to hide None can take me I'm the tower the world couldn't fell 'Cos I'm stronger When I know that you know me well Know me well Know me well Oh, you know me well Know me well Know me well
You are incredible. I have always loved the earthy and natural tones of folk music, and even when my friends, me being a teenager, listen to pop music and electrical music, i have stuck to folk. You are the first person who my other friends have liked of folk music and have got them into it. This song is on repeat constantly and is so emotional and beautiful. Thank you so much for helping the world become that bit better, and saving music from becoming awful. I still think it is incredible that you are not that well known when you are so incredibly incredible ( thats a lot of incredibles) x
Amazing song, I just listened this song 1000 times at day during quarantine covid, my girlfriend, my cat and me. My cat is gone now and when a listen this song it send me back when we were happy. Thanks
Lyrics: “Well you know me with that ancient gaze, strip me down with yesterday’s eyes/ You know me as I was, you see me as I will be/ And I still had a lot of growing when you took me and you shaped me with those hands/ You know me better than myself, make me better than I am/…When I think upon my past, I see I loved you many years before you came/ …And you saw what I could be, please teach me how to be what I was made to be/”
Such breath taking beauty with a soulful ballad of utter depth and actual substance! Is that still called wittiling? A complete mastierpiece from beginning to end!
i relate to each word of this song. sometimes i have to tell myself "i won't listen to yours songs today Roo, they make me too emotional" but often i can't help but it's for the better because no other songs has ever connected me to the Highest Love the way your songs do. thank your Roo
So simple and so beautiful, as art qnd life should be. Thank you for showing me there is this kind of man in the world! The whole video was like watching my husband. And your music is always magic. Thank you.
This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful things by ears have heard and eyes have seen. Thanks Roo & co. for the making my day all the more joyful!
Late night, early December 2021 and I’m watching an episode of BBC comedy series Cuckoo which I taped a year ago and hadn’t come round to watch yet… And there, over the end credits, is this unknown but wonderful song that I’ve never heard before. A few Google searches later I’ve discovered it’s Know Me So Well by Roo Panes. Better late than never. What an amazing song!
Вдруг, кому-нибудь тоже запала в сердце эта песня, а английского не знает. Предлагаю мой подстрочник по русски: Примерный подстрочник: Я как на ладони, ведь ты все время вглядываешься в меня пристальным древним оком, ругая за вчерашние ошибки. Ты знаешь кем я был и кем я буду. И до сих пор во мне есть огромный потенциал для роста. Ты принял и сформировал меня, ты знаешь меня лучше, чем я сам себя и делаешь меня лучше, чем я есть. Ты разбираешься во мне как никто другой. Ты знаешь меня очень хорошо. Очень. Очень хорошо! (Прям таки насквозь!) Когда я оглядываюсь назад, я вижу, что (наша обоюдовзаимная) любовь возникла за долго до того, как ты вошел в мою жизнь. Она была и в моих мечтах, и в моих надеждах, то нарастая, то убывая вместе с луной. Ты видел кем я мог бы стать, пожалуйста, научи меня воплотить в жизнь то, ради чего я задуман. Я понимаю, что без тебя я был никто, но с тобой я могу стать всем! Ты разбираешься во мне как никто другой. Ты знаешь меня очень хорошо. Очень. Очень хорошо! Чего же мне бояться, когда я знаю, что я иду примкнув к тебе. Ты моя крепость, мне не нужно нечего от тебя скрывать. Никто и никогда меня не сломит, я одна из твоих башен, того мира, который нерушим. Я сильнее, когда знаю, что ты знаешь меня как никто другой. Ты знаешь меня очень хорошо. Очень. Очень хорошо! (с)
I love this.....favourite track so far out of a beautiful selection. I love the video too, I've played and watched this so many times now ....already :)
One of the most subtle, yet powerful voices I have ever heard. There is some Chris Martin from Coldplay there and a touch of Marcus Mumford and a slight Ben Howard, yet Roo's voice is quite unique...a recognizable voice, a force to be reckoned with. I hope he gets really popular!
Hey mate, loving the music! Hope you know there are people like myself all the way down in Australia who hear of you and thoroughly enjoy your music :)
