You Don't Know Me

Still working on a new song, but before that, here is a song I wrote last fall. It was inspired by a very small event, I saw someone who looked like someone I knew and I started to think about how it would feel if someone pretended not to recognize me anymore.

For vocals, I tried to get out of Synthesizer V Kevin as much as possible. And I tried to make Synthesizer V Solaria to sound like a wicked lady. I don't know whether I was successful, but it was nice practice with the editor anyway.

BIAB provided once again great instruments for this flamenco dance arrangement with some metal flavor.

Lyrics:

You don't know me
you look away
hello or hi
you don't say.
You don't know me
you turn your head
not to me
to the crowd instead.
I'm a stranger
you want to ignore
I'm not worth noting for.

By the square
where you stand
maybe shaking
the smoking hand.
Beneath the hat
eyes ashamed
not prepared
to take the blame.
Maybe I should pass
look into you
to make you feel awkward
say: goodbyes overdue?

You don't know me
you look away
hello or hi
you don't say.
I don't know you
I tell apart
the look's the same
but not the heart
You're a stranger
reminding me of
someone who's still my love.

Who are you
thought we met
we had good time
without regret.
Perhaps I'm wrong
there just was
a reaction
but no cause.
I'm so frustrated
I need to shout
at a likely outsider
what I'm angry about.

You don't know me
you look away
hello or hi
you don't say.
I don't know you
I tell apart
the look's the same
but not the heart
You're a stranger
reminding me of
someone who's still my love.

Hope I'm mistaken
no-one could be so unkind (I could be so unkind)
or maybe you have (maybe I have)
a bipolar mind.

You don't know me
you look away
hello or hi
you don't say.
I don't know you
I tell apart
the look's the same
but not the heart
You're a stranger
reminding me of
someone who's still my love.
