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/.

The Purest People
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until I felt the ice inside you melt for me
The purest feelings ever felt
The purest feelings ever felt
Just close your eyes my dear
And listen to the rain
Just hope tomorrow comes
You feel like new
You always do
I've stood outside your closing door
But I'll never stand there any more
The purest people ever made
The purest plans that were ever laid
So don't make me crawl
Because it's far enough to fall
And the devil takes his time
Eventually you're mine
So don't make me crawl
Because it's far enough to fall
And the nights are closing in
Won't you let the fun begin
Nothing ever seems to hurt
When you're used to scratching in the dirt
But now my fears are always close
My darkest thoughts are so exposed
Just turn the lights off dear
And don't forget to pray
Just hope tomorrow comes
And everything's the same
It always is
It always is
So don't make me crawl
Because it's far enough to fall
And the devil takes his time
Eventually you're mine
So don't make me crawl
Because it's far enough to fall
And the nights are closing in
Won't you let the fun begin
The song "The Purest People" by Mesh is a contemplative and melancholic piece that explores the complexity of emotions and relationships. The opening verse "I never liked the hand you dealt me, until I felt the ice inside you melt for me" suggests a sense of disappointment or dissatisfaction with the status quo that is suddenly overcome by a profound emotional connection. The persona seems to have experienced a transformative moment that has led to feeling "the purest feelings ever felt".
The following verse shifts to a sense of vulnerability as the persona pleads for their partner not to hurt them, "So don't make me crawl, because it's far enough to fall, and the devil takes his time, eventually you're mine". The use of the imagery of crawling and falling in this verse highlights the power dynamic that seems to be at play in the relationship, with the persona feeling like they are at risk of being hurt.
The repeated refrain "Just hope tomorrow comes and takes away the pain" is a powerful reminder of the ephemeral nature of emotions and relationships, where pain and disappointment are ever-present. Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of the complexities of relationships and the emotions that accompany them, and a reminder that even the purest feelings can be fleeting.
