"Don't You Know Me?" was the melodic first single to Mark Seymour's second debut album, "One Eyed Man". The song can not be classed as anything but 'pop' and is ideally suited to radio. It is songs like this that bring memories of Crowded House to some people. Australian media as a whole has to a large degree neglected this fine piece of pop work (and it's accompanying video). There has been at least one radio interview where Mark has played this song solo with a guitar, and there was an appearance on the moderately well know TV program "Rove Live" with the 'One Eyed Man' band. The Capital Radio network has given it some support while the Austereo Radio network and JJJ have more or less ignored the song. The most obscure support to date is that some country cable show has apparently been giving it a bit of a plug. The song itself is an odd tale of falling deeply in love and quickly progresses through the infatuation to ask some serious questions ("would you die for me"). The relationship is slightly obscure and a bit odd in the usual Mark Seymour style ("be careful what you say before you go" etc.). ~ Stuart
I'm falling, falling for you again Don't you know me? In a heatwave you're the cool blue
water Don't you know me? Oh baby don't cry Oh baby don't cry Don't you know me? Don't you know me?
[M. Seymour & C. McKenzie]
