Cherry Monroe is a band originating from Youngstown, Ohio and Pittsburgh, PA. They made their way into the American pop music industry with their debut single "Satellites" in July 2005, reaching #85 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The band formed in 2004 with Matt Toka (lead), Jason Levis (drums), David Saltman (bass), and Ryan Harris (guitar). Another guitarist, Frankie Bennett, joined later. They were originally called "The Velvet Idols" until their record label made them change their name to "Cherry Monroe"--a name created by the label itself. Shortly afterwards the band was signed to Universal Records.
In July 2006, lead vocalist Matt Toka announced his departure from the band. The remaining four members are currently searching for a new lead singer and have suspended live shows until a replacement is found.
Norma Jeane Mortensen Baker (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), professionally recognized as Marilyn Monroe, was an American actress, model, and singer, who became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s.
After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946 with Twentieth Century-Fox. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) drew attention to her. By 1953, Monroe had progressed to a leading role in Niagara (1953), a melodramatic film noir that dwelt on her seductiveness. Her "dumb blonde" persona was used to comic effect in subsequent films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden her range. Her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics and garnered a Golden Globe nomination. Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), for which she received a BAFTA Award nomination and won a David di Donatello award. She received a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like It Hot (1959). Monroe's last completed film was The Misfits, co-starring Clark Gable with screenplay by her then-husband, Arthur Miller.
Ashley Monroe (born September 10, 1986 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is an American country music singer-songwriter. She has released two solo singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The singles "Satisfied" and "I Don't Want To" (which featured Brooks & Dunn singer Ronnie Dunn) reached #43 and #37, respectively. Both singles were intended to be released on Monroe's debut album, Satisfied, in 2007, but the album went unreleased. Soon after, Monroe left Columbia Records' roster in late 2007. Satisfied was finally released on May 19, 2009.
Monroe was born on September 10, 1986 in Knoxville, Tennessee. At age 11, she won a talent contest singing "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and found steady work at a theater there. While growing up, her parents played songs by the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd, so her country rock roots started early on. Monroe's father died from cancer in 2000, when she was just 13. While still grieving over their loss, Monroe and her mother continued on with their lives and moved to Nashville so she could pursue her career in music.
Star-studded dream maker
Psychedelic heart breaker
Isn't life a drag
You lock me up like a porno mag
Girl you need to be chilled on ice
So i don't get burnt twice
Let this be an anniversary
Of the simple things, that keep seducing me
I love her, love her madly
But she treats me oh so badly
Leaves me in bandages, leaves me in bandages
The walls on my inner self
Are the shadows of someone else
Ive got the new disease
Thats plagued by my jelousy
Move your feet to the beat of my drum
Keep dancing til you had enough
Let this be an anniversary
Of the simple things, that keep seducing me
I love her, love her madly
But she treats me oh so badly
Leaves me in bandages, leaves me in bandages
I wear you like a sweet sunburn
I can't get no apologies
I wear you like a sweet sunburn
You know that i, well i hate to say
I think i want you in the worse way
But i'm too, too drunk to put up a fight
Ive been taking punches all night
Youre so predictable in every way
Youre so predictable and i'm
Outside your house drunk and screaming at the stars yea i'm outside your house drunk and screaming at
The stars
You know i'm driving myself insane
I'm driving myself off your pretty plain
And i wish, i was you so i could see
Just what it's like to walk all over me
Youre so predictable in every way
Youre so predictable and i'm
Outside your house drunk and screaming at the stars yea i'm outside your house drunk and screaming at
The stars
Our teenage youth is over now, our teenage youth is running wild
I feel your eyes on my back
Making the attack
Its easier to stab me
When i'm not looking
How could you do this to me?
I feel your skin on mine
This is our last goodbye
The hardest part of letting go
Are the things i'll never know
How could you do this to me?
How could you do this when...
Id do anything
Id do anything..anything..
For you i would die just to breathe you
For you i would scream just to hear you
For you i would burn just to feel you
I'm dying..i'm screaming
Till my last dying breath
I have fought til the end
Hear my ghost of truth
Let these words haunt you
How could you do this to me?
How could you do this wehn...
I'd do anything, id do anything...anything...
For you i would die just to breathe you
For you i would scream just to hear you
For you i would burn just to
You just turn and walk away
You just turn and walk away
And we fall
And we bleed
And we lie
And we cheat
Ive been cut too deep
Ive been losing sleep
Brought down to my knees
As i beg and plead
Got a crush head rush what a sensation
Butterflies all night can't stop shaking
Head first i will dive
Head first i will dive
And i can't explain what you do to me
And i can't explain what you do to me
Can't explain what you
No need for gravity when you're floating
No others got the color of my emotion
Head first i will dive
And i cant explain what you do to me
And i can't explain what you do to me
What you do what you do
No need for gravity what a sensation
No need for gravity what a sensation can't i
Can't explain what you do to me cant exlaint what you
Head first i will dive
Head first i will dive
And i cant exlpain what you do to me
And i can't explain what you do to me what you do what you do
No need for graviity what a sensation
No need for gravity what a sensation can't i
Cant explain what you do to me can't explain what you to me
She was telling me
All the things that we should be
Like it's over
Cuz she's leaving
But i'm so stupid
Such an asshole
What a hassle
Of knowing me cuz...
Now that youre gone, now that youre
Everything, everythings my fault
Now that youre
Gone
Gone
Gone
Oh she tried to warn me
That my heart was breaking
Through her fingers
I was slipping
But i'm so stupid
Such an asshole
What a hassle
Of knowing me cuz...
Now that youre gone, now that youre
Everything, everythings my fault
Know that youre gone
Now i'm alone, now that youre
Everything everythings my fault
Now that youre
Gone
Gone
Gone
Everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything's my fault
Now that youre
Suddenly, i'm alone again
Suddenly, i have to pretend
That we're in love soaring high above the atmosphere
But i cant see clear, but i cant see clear
I need painkillers just to be, just to be with you
I take painkillers just to be, just to be with you
Lets lie beneath the stars and cry
When i get down i get high
But suddenly, i'm yours again
Suddenly, i have a friend
But suddenly, i cant get no satisfaction
All from a chemical attraction, all from a chemical attraction
I need painkillers, just to be, just to be with you
I take painkillers just to be, just to be with you
Lets lie beneath the stars and cry
When i get down i get high
I get high
I get high
I get high
I need painkillers just to be with you
I take painkillers just to be
Lets lie beneath the stars and lets lie beneath the stars and lets lie beneath the stars and lets lie
Beneath the stars and lets lie beneath the stars and cry
Tattoos of memories
Others have been removed surgically
Its funny how we bend
Just to try and make amends
stop, rewind
I think I've come undone
Stop, rewind
I wish I was forever young
I wish I wish I wish I was forever young
I wish I wish I wish I was forever young
we've been drinking all day
Its time to take the center stage
Soak the scene with gasoline
There's a fire that got the best of me
hey can't you see
There's a cloud and its hanging over me
Hey can't you see
There's a cloud and its hanging over me
Its days like these
Its days like these
My one night stand, my summer fling
Came as fast as she left me
Oh its such a tragedy
We both had way too much to drink
This empty bed, the long drive home
Leaves me crushed and most alone
You came and left way too soon
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
You bring me
You bring me
You bring me down
Down yea down no
You bring me
You bring me
You bring me down
Down down down down
I met her in the rock show crowd
The band was playing oh so loud
Touch me, feel me hold me close
Feels so good only heaven knows
She got all the glamour of Hollywood
I can't be with what i should
I love your sweat on my skin
Feel these words theyre sinking in
Feel these words theyre sinking in
Feel these words theyre sinking in
You bring me
You bring me
You bring me down
Down yea down no
You bring me
You bring me
You bring me down
Down down down down
I love to hate you
Hate to love you
What could i doi?
What could i prove?
So long
So long
So long
So long
My heart has now bled
Your lipstick sweet cherry red
Look at those bright blue eyes
No need to flip the switch
When i look at you i squint
D-d-damn you light up the room
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
She dresses like a popstar
I'm feeling so far away from reality
It aint hard to understand she can break any man
B-b-by the way that she moves
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
Ive come undone
Its easier said then done
Its easier, its so easier
Ive come undone
Its easier said than done
She said let's start it up again
I got caught in, caught in the moment but
She's so innocent
She bites my lip passionately
And I know shooting stars are born everyday
I know heaven feels so far away
I just want you passionately, so passionately
Passionately
I just want you passionately
It's on the tip of my tongue
We do the dumbest things, whoa, when we're young
Just squeeze my hand tight, it feels so right
Passionately
And I know shooting stars are born everyday
I know heaven feels so far away
I just want you passionately, so passionately
Passionately
I just want you passionately, so passionately
Passionately
You know that I can't take it
Anymore, anymore, you know that I can't take this
Anymore, anymore, you know that I'm just breaking
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
She said let's start it up again
I got caught in, caught in the moment
She said let's start it up again
I got caught in, caught in the moment
She said let's start it up again
I just want you passionately, so passionately
Passionately
I just want you passionately, so passionately
Passionately
I just want you passionately, so passionately
Passionately
I just want you passionately
You are sweet, like honey
But you cut me like a knife
This bittersweet poison aint healthy
And i feel like i'm dying
He its a shame to see you cry with weeping eyes
The pain in letting go, my crazylove has done me wrong
Well i guess we had our doubts
My shooting star in the sky
I miss you
I want you
I i need you now
My love for you will never die
He its a shame to see you cry with weeping eyes
The pain in letting go, my crazylove has done me wrong
Hey its a shame to see you cry with weeping eyes
The pain in letting go, my crazylove has done me wrong
My crazylove has done me wrong
My crazylove has done me wrong
My crazylove
My crazylove
