Mike + the Mechanics was born as a side project by the musician Mike Rutherford, one of the founding members of the progressive rock band Genesis, when his band announcied a hiatus. So Rutherford called Paul Carrack, Paul Young, Adrian Lee and Peter van Hooke to join his new band.
Mike + the Mechanics made success with the songs "The Living Years", "All I Need Is A Miracle", "Word of Mouth" "Over My Shoulders", etc. I only knew this last one, but I didn't know it was a whistling song. I even knew which artist or band sang it. It was written by Mike and Paul Carrack and "was released in early 1995 as the first single from their album Beggar on a Beach of Gold. It was the most successful single from that album peaking at #12 on UK singles chart."
Genesis came back from the hiatus and Mike is playing in his two bands currently.

Yeah...
Looking back, over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eyes
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say good bye
Looking back, over my shoulder
With an aching deep in my heart
I wish we were starting over
Oh, instead of drifting so far apart
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 eyes
Tearing 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 it 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 eyes
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 eyes
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 eyes
Looking back, over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eyes
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say good bye
Looking back, over my shoulder
With an aching deep in my heart
I wish we were starting over
Oh, instead of drifting so far apart
Everybody told me you were leaving
Funny I should be the last to know
Baby, please, tell me that I'm dreaming
