Roo Panes - Ophelia (Official Video) 

We named our daughter Ophelia. She was born in early 2020 as Covid was ramping up. This has been her bedtime lullaby since she was in the womb. Tears me up every time. Thank you sir for such a heartfelt song.

He's the kind of artist that deserves so much recognition, but I want to preserve him, just my little secret.

Hello people with good taste in music!

I lost my Mother this February 5, 2022. This song is what we usually do sing-alongs inside the car when she was still alive. Now, whenever I listen to it while driving, I still try to sing imagining that she is singing it along with me.

Every little thing he does is magic.

Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh [Verse 1] The fallen leaves made an amber sea Over which you floated like an autumn breeze A sapling soul in a sea of fire Oh I was afraid for my Ophelia [Chorus] But take heart my love 'Cause when I see you I see hope When I see you I see hope There's a world that needs what you've got to give Take heart my love 'Cause when I see you I see hope When I see you I see home There's a world that needs what you've got to give [Post-Chorus] Aah aah aah Aah aah aah Aah aah aah Aah aah aah [Verse 2] Do you really need all of the things you want? I would take you back there, to where the river's from To where the garden's green with a forever love Singing you're somebody heaven's dreaming of [Chorus] Oh, take heart my love 'Cause when I see you I see hope When I see you I see hope There's a world that needs what you've got to give Take heart my love 'Cause when I see you I see hope When I see you I see home There's a world that needs what you've got to give [Post-Chorus] Ha-aah Ha-aah Ha-aah [Bridge] I'd have you give like you can give I'd have you love like you can love I'd have you live like you can live I'd have you be all you can be [Chorus] Take heart my love 'Cause when I see you I see hope When I see you I see hope There's a world that needs what you've got to give Take heart my love 'Cause when I see you I see hope When I see you I see home There's a world that needs what you've got to give [Post-Chorus] Ha-aah Ha-aah Ha-aah Ha-aah

Some artist have the ability to cleanse your soul through their music and Roo is one among them. Thanks again for this beautiful piece.

To be honest, I used to be so embarrassed that my middle name was Ophelia, but between the Lumineers & now dear, beautiful Roo making such beautiful songs titled Ophelia, amongst others things, I'm really learning to embrace it. What a lovely song

"when I see you I see hope" One of the most beautiful line you can say to someone you love 🧡🧡

Ophelia.. what a beautiful name it means Hope in Greek .. Ophelia was the lover of Hamlet who went insane as a result of his irrational behaviour. lovely song

This song is ethereal, wow. What are others interpretations of this music video/what's the meaning of it? From what I saw and put together, this father and his daughter are at his wife/her mothers funeral. He's somewhat distraught but then the daughter shows him the photo of them swimming together so they decide to do just that and recreate the memory. The mother is symbolized in things like the lighthouse, the water, the clouds. Regardless of what the meaning is though, this is absolutely beautiful.

I'm feeling nostalgic over something I've never been part of

Ofélia As folhas caídas fizeram um mar âmbar Sobre o qual você flutuou como uma brisa de outono Uma alma de mudas em um mar de fogo Oh, eu estava com medo pela minha Ophelia Mas tome coragem meu amor Porque quando te vejo vejo esperança Quando te vejo vejo esperança Há um mundo que precisa do que você tem para dar Tome meu coração meu amor Porque quando te vejo vejo esperança Quando te vejo vejo esperança Há um mundo que precisa do que você tem para dar Você realmente precisa de todas as coisas que você quer Eu levaria você de volta para lá Para onde o rio é Para onde o jardim é verde com um amor para sempre Cantando você é alguém Sonho do céu de Tome meu coração meu amor Porque quando te vejo vejo esperança Quando te vejo vejo esperança Há um mundo que precisa do que você tem para dar Tome meu coração meu amor Porque quando te vejo vejo esperança Quando te vejo vejo esperança Há um mundo que precisa do que você tem para dar Eu te daria, como você pode dar Eu te amaria, como você pode amar Eu gostaria que você vivesse, como se você pudesse viver Eu gostaria que você fosse tudo o que você pode ser Tome meu coração meu amor Porque quando te vejo vejo esperança Quando te vejo vejo esperança Há um mundo que precisa do que você tem para dar Tome meu coração meu amor Porque quando te vejo vejo esperança Quando te vejo vejo esperança Há um mundo que precisa do que você tem para dar

dear roo, I listened to this song whole night yesterday, thanks, I feel gifted. Your admirer, Sid

I am so high right now that listening to Roo makes feel like God has finally come down to take me away from the pain of world... I am an atheist!

When I see you I see hope ❤️

This was the first song she dedicated to me. She said I could be anything, and the world will embrace it. She had her own issues with identity, professional growth and choices. She and I we taught each other so much for the time we were together. On our first getaway, we listened to this song while sitting tight on the floor rug holding hands. We've been apart for months now. I remember this memory in times of self doubt, gives me so much optimism. I have been very unsure and unable to express my feelings but I am sure that I will always love her and this song.

A stranger from far away suggest me this song.Now this is my favourite💫

I found roo’s music during Covid time, I got very sick and almost passed, but his music got me through. Thanks you, you deserve nighthood. 😊

theres something about his music, something unique and sufficient for the soul.

OM - if you ever see this: I miss you.

I can never understand why do some people dislike such beautiful song like this.

Never ever leave making music dear because no matter how many views/ likes you get, there will always be people like me who will listen. This is rare what you have. Just keep bringing the joy in people's lives as there will always be someone like me who will have moist eyes and will say a silent thank you at the end of each song.........thank you indeed

I've lost my mum couple of years ago... This song brings her back to me... Thanx! I will listen to this while descending to the airport of my home-city.

A perfect song and a perfect Singer!

His music contains so much love, the bliss and euphoria and the grace through which its delivered brings tears to my eyes on a regular basis. Truly is a blessing to have roo be the soundtrack on my path to the light.

Lyrics

I haven't heard a song more beautiful than this! My all time favorite ❤️!

During a cold and sad night, I stumbled upon Roo's music. It was the most magical thing ever. 💖

How could someone dislike this song? Its been two months and i still cant stop listening to this ❤

how an amazing song like this have only half a million view is something i would never get !!!

Oh this is so beautiful. It gives me hope that someday I can be whoever I want to be and do whatever I want to do but still have the support of my loved ones. Thank you, Roo, once again for a beautiful song.

When I was sure it was impossible to make this song more beautiful, I see this video and I realize I was wrong!!!. Everything that Roo Panes sings actually turns to gold

He communicates the song in the heart. He is really a jim-dandy. Superb! :)

i'm crying.. it's too beautiful

when I see you I see hope, I feel that's how God sees us, He knows who we are!

Your music gives me one more reason to be alive

His music gives me pure joy , his voice is so precious and special

"There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray, love, remember; and there is pansies, that’s for thoughts..." W. Shakespeare

Oh, feels heavenly. Sweet ache in the heart

I find this man incredibly handsome. I like that there is focus on the lyrics as they are often forgotten in modern songs

beautiful! "when I see you I see hope" :)

😍 This video and the song both are very powerful. I fell in love with both of them immediately. Thank you for this beautiful poignant story and equally amazing song.❤

So generous art ... Thank you Roo, this is so inspiring.

I don't know what I would be without music.

I fell in love with this song from the first day I listened to it. Please lyrics. Great song

Wow... My God... What a serenity... thanks for this

40 people who disliked have never lost someone, or had the fragility of the human condition laid bare before their eyes. 40 people listened but did not hear.

underrated.

This is ... I dunno .. Goosebumps all over my body!💕

So simple that it's greatly moving. Thank you for this art of simplistic, moving beauty. We often forget how powerful old and un-exaggerated stories are.

Sitting here, missing my brother, feeling like my heart stopped with his...if a song can restart a heart, fill some of the hole his passing left, this song is the song. Thank you...

Iam listening this beautul song and i feel that i wanna be with the Real One, not just someone, when i feel myself lonely and we share it with each others. Absolutely not the same and real different. I dont want to live in that way anymore. Thank You, Roo
