I Want You To Know - A A J Russe
Written 21st June 1987
Recorded 6th March 2022
The Shoebox Demos Vol 1
This was to the same lady who inspired Foolishness. There’s a couple of others from the same period, related to her, that will be appearing soon, I guess.
I kind of dismissed this one soon after writing it. Probably because the Wednesday/Friday references were far too specific and would have resulted in far too many people (her, especially!) knowing what I was singing about.
A few years later, when I was home-recording with a 4-track cassette player, I found it and did a little band demo. I discovered I love the tune and the hook.
So, sooner or later I might reproduce that arrangement - it sounds FABULOUS in my head! lol
It’s weird revisiting these old songs. With this one, in today’s world, the first thing that comes to my mind, based on what’s in the lyrics, is “stalker”. That’s kind of sad that that’s the first thing we think of.
It’s not what was going on at all. It was work colleagues, she was 10-15 years older and in a relationship she wanted out of but didn’t think she could/should. She also thought she was a bit old for the younger guy and that he could do better for himself (and she probably thought he’d drive her crazy!). They used to go for walks together in the countryside (office was in a little village) every lunch time… She thought it would be easier if he stopped saying stuff out loud to her, please… So he wrote this song.
At the time, I thought of this as an “unrequited love” song. I realise now that it WAS requited but we both thought it was not a good idea for various reasons. This was just me expressing stuff she’d asked me not to say to her face anymore because it was too difficult.
I Want You To Know - A A J Russe
I’m missing you now of a Wednesday
You used to be there now you’re not
You said that you don’t want to hear it
But I want you to know
I want you to know
My feelings are rising against me
Your embarrassment just feeds my disease
Watching your smile
I know all the while
I’ll need you to know
You’ll just have to know
Why can’t we talk about this
I’ve wondered for months about it
Everything’s wrong about it
I know
Yes I know
But I want you to know
I want you to know
My weekends will end on a Friday
But I don’t want to see you at night
I don’t think I could stand being closer to you
But I’d still like to know
I want you to know
If maybe perhaps things were different
If the light and the air were just right
Do you think maybe then
If things were different my friend
But I’ve no right to know
I can’t expect you to know
Why can’t we talk about this
I’ve wondered for months about it
Everything’s wrong about it
I know
Yes I know
But I want you to know
I want you to know
Yes I want you to know
I want you to know
I need you to know
I just have to know

Funny I don’t get stalker vibes but I can see if one knew the backstory that might be the outcome. Another great piece of writing!!
