Lyrics:
I hate that I have learned to hide
Cos who I really am is trapped inside
I wish that I had never learned to lie
Got no one else to blame
It feels like I can barely breathe
With all this pressure handing over me
How can I find a way to start again from a place I understand

You don't even know me
You don't even know me

You don't even know me or what I'm about
You don't even know me, I break down
I'm walking in circles don't know where I've been
Trying to find a way to fit in
You don't even know me, I don't know myself
You're turning me into someone else
Wanna be all that I am

I don't get what I've turned into
But sure as hell its not the me I knew
What happened to the voice I had before
The world made things confusing
I used to be so free doing what I want
Didn't hold back a feeling
How can I be satisfied with a life that won't let me be me

You don't even know me
You don't even know me

You don't even know me or what I'm about
You don't even know me, I break down
I'm walking in circles don't know where I've been
Trying to find a way to fit in
You don't even know me, I don't know myself
You're turning me into someone else
Wanna be all that I am

You judge me assuming that you know me
You judge me thinking that I'm someone that I'm not
Am I someone that I'm not?

You don't even know me
Don't say that you know me

You don't even know me or what I'm about
You don't even know me, I break down
I'm walking in circles don't know where I've been
Trying to find a way to fit in
You don't even know me, I don't know myself
You're turning me into someone else
Wanna be all that I am

Don't say that you know me, know me
You don't even know me, know me, no
Don't say that you know me, know me
You don't even know me, know me

Don't Know Me

Piece Of Me

Train At Midnight (acoustic bonus track) - 3rd track from Tell Me Why EP Spring 2012

Train At Midnight (Acoustic Bonus track)

To The Ending

Formerly a rock band, having earned praise from the likes of Rock Sound magazine and even earning a spot supporting Roger Hodgson of the legendary Supertramp, Ryker Sear's musical path had not been easy. “As much as I love rock and some heavier music, we were starting to drift into territory that I wasn't comfortable with, and didn't truly believe in”, Regan (the band's front person) admits. 

As is typical with bands on the gigging scene, members come and go. ''It got to the point where I felt like a lost my sense of identity, lost who I was. Its always hard when people move on, a bit like a break up, but James and I knew that we couldn't keep doing the same thing''.

They decided to move forward as a duo, and take more inspiration from Regan's love of pop.
''Pop music has been a real constant in my life. The Spice Girls and Britney Spears were huge influences on me growing up, and I still listen to all that stuff even now''.

Ryker Sear took some time out to record and experiment in order to find their new sound. During this time, some songs were recorded and later abandoned, but one really stuck, and it was called 'Don't Know Me'.

Regan wrote 'Don't Know Me' when she was, ''in a bad place. I was thinking about all the things we'd been through, and how we'd move on. There was a lot of frustration and sadness there. I felt alone. It was really easy for me to write the lyrics (not always the case!) as I just sat there and it poured out, 'Dear Diary' esque.  Recording the song was not an entirely smooth process, but we worked really hard, and with James' mix, we knew we had something special''.

Free to expand their creative avenues, Ryker Sear returned with their first new song in April 2017, 'One Time Thing'. It is as they say, 'inspired by real events'. ''Its about meeting a total douche at a house party. Despite his attitude, you still think he's hot, so providing your friends don't find out...its okay to see where the night takes you''.

'One Time Thing' was distributed to club DJs all around the UK, and received great feedback. DJs praised it as, 'a really well crafted pop song', with 'clever lyrics', saying it was 'pop with a capital P'. They loved 'the raw 80s electro feel', calling it 'timeless pop', with one DJ saying is was, 'the first great pop song of the year...I can see this becoming a huge world wide hit'. 

It was great news for Ryker Sear when 'One Time Thing' reached number 6 in the Commercial Pop Chart, compiled by Music Week.
The song was also added to The Falling Apple's Soundcloud playlist, and Future House Cloud's 'Future of Pop' Spotify playlist, both based in Amsterdam and Germany respectively.
The Morlando Remix of 'One Time Thing' was put on rotation in 'Line Out with Dor Dekel', a weekly Club show on 100FM, broadcasted from Tel Aviv, Israel.
With the success of 'One Time Thing', there will be more from Ryker Sear's new sound with 'Don't Know Me' as the second single to be released next month. 
James says, ''The fundamental reason why we write and record songs has never changed. When we said that we are passionate about writing great songs that make you feel good, and want to make people feel the way we feel when listening to our favourite music, will always be true''.
