1) Mesh is a synthpop/… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Mesh is a synthpop/ebm group, hailing from Bristol, England, UK consisting of Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn. Neil Taylor was in Mesh from their conception in 1991 until 2005. Their music is described by their official website as "somewhere between synthpop and EBM". Personally they prefer the term 'Electro rock'.
Mesh were discovered largely as a result of Future Music releasing their first three demo songs on a compilation. Holding a large amount of distaste for major label business, the trio chose to form their own label titled Tolerance Records, which released their first EP "Fragile" in 1993. Soon after circulation, the band signed to Memento Materia and re-released the EP. Mesh followed "Fragile" with the album "In This Place Forever", which included the popular single "You Didn't Want Me."
1999 saw the release of "The Point At Which It Falls Apart", which the official bio cites as "certainly the best work that the band had produced to date. It is a rich and emotional album, and shows the threesome taking their music to a new level."
In 2000, Mesh signed distribution agreements with Metropolis Records in order to pursue US appeal, an arrangement which ultimately fizzled out. In 2002 the band switched labels yet again to release "Who Watches Over Me?" on Columbia (a Sony subsidiary).
In 2006 Mesh signed to the German label Königskinder after leaving Columbia. To date neither "Who Watches Over Me?" or "We Collide" have been released on an American label.
In April 2006, the album "We Collide" was released in Europe to generally positive reviews and good chart positions in Germany. In 2007 the band released the DVD "The World's a Big Place", with live performances and interviews from their "We Collide" Tour.
November 3 2009 saw the release of their tenth album "A Perfect Solution" which featured a more synth gritty rock sound rather than previous ones, it spawned 2 singles, first single "Only Better" (which a promotional video was made for) followed by second single "How Long".
Two years later, the band released "An Alternative Solution" which contains all tracks remixes of their latest album by bands like Zeromancer, Assemblage 23 among others.
September 29 2012 the band announces their new album 'Automation Baby' that will be expected in february 2013. Fans can follow the production process with little 'Making of' clips on the bands Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/meshtheband/.

Jack Molenschot also records using the names of Freejack and Future Vibe.

My Defender
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Protect me once again
My Defender
Are all my fears the same
What changes between two people
When you're pulling their hands apart
What changes between two people
Happy times
My Defender
Save me from myself
My Defender
The sickness and the wealth
What changes when words are spoken
Enough poison for both to share
What changes a promise broken
It's everywhere
Does noone care?
Did you read my mind
Or did I fall in one outpouring
Never unkind
I stopped trusting
All for nothing
My Defender
Pure is just a word
My Defender
Cynical and hurt
What changes between the covers
What secrets are left unsaid
What happens when nothing changes?
Is everything spoiled
Is everything dead
What changes between the covers
What secrets are left unshared
What happens when nothing changes?
Is everything spoiled
Is everything dead
What changes between two people
Happy times
Happy times
In Mesh's song My Defender, the lyrics explore the theme of protection and the changing dynamics of a relationship. The first verse of the song begins with a plea for the 'defender' to protect the singer once again, which suggests that they have already been protected before. The second line of the first verse, 'Are all my fears the same?', indicates that the singer has some fears that need to be addressed, and they are likely asking their defender for help with this.
In the second verse, the singer is asking what changes between two people when they are being pulled apart. This could refer to the ending of a relationship or a falling out with a friend. The line, 'What changes a promise broken, it's everywhere does no one care?', highlights the pain and betrayal that result when someone does not follow through on their promises. The repetition of the phrase 'happy times, trusting minds' throughout the lyrics emphasizes the contrast between the happy times in the past and the troubles in the present.
The chorus repeats the opening lines of the song, with the singer pleading for their defender to save them from themselves, sickness and wealth. The fourth verse of the song explores the theme of trust and secrets left unshared, with the line 'what happens when nothing changes, is everything spoiled, is everything dead?'. The last line of the song repeats 'happy times', suggesting that despite the troubles in the present, the singer still longs for those happy times in the past.
