Known as “G” (a nickname given to him by his friend Roger Daltrey), G TOM MAC wrote and performed a duet with Roger for the comedy film The Banger Sisters starring Golde Hawn and Susan Sarandon. G has also penned music for countless films like Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Terminator 3, All The Right Moves, Chasing Amy, Born To be Wild, Kicking and Screaming, The Lonely Guy, Spring Break, No Way Home, Grandview, U.S.A. and The Lost Boys. In the Lion’s Gate release, “I See You.Com” starring Beau Bridges and Rosanna Arquette, G TOM MAC wrote, produced and sang the title track.
Born in Birmingham, England, Gerard spent his early years listening to The Beatles and Stevie Wonder. “I was inspired by various pop and R & B artists at an early age.” His family moved from England to New York City when Gerard was 11 and then a few years later moved to the Midwest. “When I was there I started learning guitar and the bass and realizing I had a voice, I started a band, which played in clubs all over the Midwest.”
G TOM MAC returned to New York City to pursue his performing career. “My first gigs in NY were playing bass and guitar in R & B bands in Harlem.” Soon Gerard was writing songs for himself and his career began to take off. Brought to Los Angeles by Warner Brothers Records to showcase him as an artist, G TOM MAC quickly impressed Hollywood’s film elite like Joel Schumacher, Jerry Bruckheimer, Cameron Crowe, and David Geffen.
G TOM MAC’s songs have been recorded by a wide-range of artists such as:
KISS “Is That You”
Ice Cube “Money Can’t Buy The Love”
Roger Daltrey Co-wrote and produced the album “Rocks In The Head”
Carly Simon “Give Me All Night”
Phoebe Snow/Michael McDonald “Right To The End”
Vonda Shepard “Wake Up The House”
The prolific songwriter has recorded several albums, “BLUE RUE” for Arc/Columbia, “G TOM MAC” and the most recent, “Thou Shall Not Fall” for L.A.’s Edge Artists. He also compiled and produced "WITCHBLADE - The Music", using music from/inspired by the original series on TNT.
Warner Chappell Music has commissioned G TOM MAC to produce and record classic songs from their catalog, for “The Covers Project”, a yearly program designed for use in TV commercials in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The latest 19-song CD was released earlier this year.
I See You
G Tom Mac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch you watch me seeing through my naked eye
Watch the future turn up your tv look at what you've never seen
There are no limits to the modern spy
If you wanna be my future style all you got to do is open
up your windows up to mine everyday is prime time never mind you Cable days
There so over yeah yeah yeah
Am I gonna change the world?
I don't think so today (uho today)
I see you in a quicker real time you can make it what you like
I see you from another point of view watching everything you do
Watch what everybody wants to see through my eye
Watch you watching me beyond the real we can making ous apeal
I see a vison that can never last
I see everything in every move all you really wanna do
Open your windows up to mine everyday is prime time never mind your cable days
There so over yeah yeah yeah
Take a look around is the future going down?
Am I gonna change the world?
I don't think so today (uho today)
I see you in a quicker real time you can make what you like
I see you from another point of view watching everything you do
I see you anytime I wanna be out of my own reality
I see you and delusions all around you the party going down
The song "I See You" by G Tom Mac is a commentary about the modern age of technology and surveillance. The lyrics suggest that we are living in a world where we are constantly being watched and monitored. The line "Watch the future turn up your tv look at what you've never seen" implies that people are mesmerized by TV shows and movies that show things they have never seen before, but they fail to realize that they themselves are being watched. The line "There are no limits to the modern spy" suggests that with the advancements in technology, spies can monitor people without any limits.
The chorus "I see you in a quicker real time you can make it what you like" suggests that the singer is able to see through the eyes of someone else and witness their life in real-time. The line "I see a vision that can never last" indicates that this level of surveillance is fleeting and that it cannot last forever.
In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that people are trying to appeal to others by presenting a curated version of themselves. The line "beyond the real we can making ous apeal" implies that people are trying to appeal to others by presenting a false version of themselves. The line "I see everything in every move all you really wanna do" indicates that even when people are presenting a false image, the singer can still see through them and understand their true intentions.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the modern age of technology and surveillance. It suggests that people are being watched and monitored constantly, and that people are trying to appeal to others by presenting a false image of themselves. The lyrics are a warning to be aware of these issues and to be cautious about how we present ourselves to the world.
