Eric Thielemans (Tape Cuts Tape) is proud to present a brand new, exciting combo together with Rudy Trouvé (of dEUS and Kiss My Jazz fame, amongst others), Mauro Pawlowski (ex-dEUS, ex-Evil Superstars and more), Roman Hiele and Jean-Yves Evrard.
Mixed into an exciting cocktail of energies childishly bald and raw, maturely tender and constructive, spiritually curious and rocking loud with electronic burning sonic edges. Backpacked with their own sets of broken tools and musical experiences, The Mechanics set out sail to the landscapes and repertoires explored before them by such giants as Ornette Coleman, Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler and their contemporaries in other music and art fields.
"Are The Mechanics a Jazz combo? The Mechanics don't know. As of yet, The Mechanics have no real memory of their own. What they do know is that they are impatient to check out the mechanics behind those musics that tick their tock. They will do so as they are feathered. In colours, primal and expressive. And what better way to understand something than by breaking it and then trying to fix it."
2) New wave band from New Orleans, U.S.
Over My Shoulder
The Mechanics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see that look in your eye
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say goodbye
Looking back over my shoulder
With an aching deep in my heart
I wish that we were starting over
Everybody told me you were leaving
Funny I should be the last to know
Baby please tell me that I'm dreaming
I just never want to let you go
Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
Turning my heart over and over
I never wanted to say goodbye
I don't mind everybody laughing
But it's enough to make a grown man cry
'Cause I can feel you slipping through my fingers
I don't even know the reason why
Every day it's a losing battle
Just to smile and hold my head up high
Could it be that we belong together
Baby won't you give me one more try
One more try
Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say goodbye
Looking back over my shoulder
Oh with an aching feeling inside
Cutting me up, deeper and deeper
Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide
Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
I never dreamed no no it could be over
I never wanted to say goodbye
Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
The Mechanics’ “Over My Shoulder” is a song that explores the emotions experienced by someone who has lost their loved one unexpectedly. The lyrics are reflective and wistful as the singer looks back over their shoulder and remembers a time when love was abundant and they shared an unbreakable connection. The opening lines, “Looking back over my shoulder, I can see that look in your eye, I never dreamed it could be over, I never wanted to say goodbye” set the tone for the rest of the song. There is a sense of regret and longing as the singer thinks about what could have been and wishes they could go back to the beginning of their relationship to start over.
The second verse of the song indicates that the singer was blindsided by their partner’s decision to leave. “Everybody told me you were leaving, funny I should be the last to know, Baby please tell me that I’m dreaming, I just never want to let you go, “the lyrics read. This verse adds a layer of desperation, as the singer is begging for their partner to stay.
In the end, the singer asks for one more chance to make things right, to start over, and to fall in love with their partner all over again. Despite the heartache and the long odds, there is a glimmer of hope that things might work out in the end.
Overall, “Over My Shoulder” is about the complexities of love and the longings that arise when that love is lost or tested. Through the lyrics, The Mechanics demonstrate the deep emotions and feelings that can be expressed through music.
