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/.

Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I learn about life through your life
I learn about touch through your hands
I learn about love through your heart
I learn to be kind where I can
But the window's still broken
And the only thing I ever wanted
Is scattered in the breeze
I learn about strength through your strength
I learn about hope in your eyes
I learn about taste through your lips
I learn about trust through your lies
But the cuts are still open
They're starting to bleed
It's the only thing I ever wanted
The only thing I need
Can you teach me to feel it?
I'll take it step by step so I never miss a thing
Make me feel it
I'll get inside your head till you live inside me
Teach me to feel it
I'll take it step by step so I never miss a thing
Make me feel it
I'll get inside your head till you live inside me
I learn about life everlasting
I learn to contain your surprise
I learn about faith by believing
I learn about lust when it dies
And you're all I ever cared for
Through all that I've done
And the only thing that's not sewn up
Are the lessons left undone
(repeat chorus to fade)
The lyrics to Mesh's song "Step By Step" seem to describe a complex and intimate relationship between two people. The singer acknowledges that they learn about life, touch, love, kindness, strength, and hope through the other person, and even though there are broken windows and open cuts that are starting to bleed, the only thing they ever wanted and needed is still scattered in the breeze. The singer seems to be longing to learn even more from the other person, to be taught to feel, to take it step by step so they never miss a thing, and to get inside their head until they live inside the singer. The last stanza seems to be the most poignant, as the singer declares that the other person is all they ever cared for, and even though there might still be lessons left undone, the only thing that's not sewn up is their connection.
