1. A new wave / power pop band from San Diego, California consisting of Eric Denton (keyboards), Bob “Monroe” Davis (bass), Jesus Ortiz (vocals), Rusty Jones (guitar), and Jonnie Gilstrap (drums). They released a self-titled EP in 1982, and are best known for the song “What Do All The People Know?”
2. A Rock / Emo band from Pretoria, South Africa. Not too long ago in a land where musical creativity had become a scarcity, destiny inspired The Monroes. Through numerous auditions, ensuring the ideal artist for each spot, the band was carefully designed. The music, however, developed intuitively into something unlike anything written before. Most closely described as melodic hard rock, characterized by distinct guitar riffs and solos, the compositions creatively flourished. Orchestrated by fate, with an innovative sound, The Monroes are tenaciously dealing a shockingly ever after. See http://www.myspace.com/themonroesrockband for more.
3. A Norwegian pop band.They first started out in 1982.The members were Lage Fossheim(singer)and Eivind Rølles(percussion and backing vocals). Their first huge hit, 'Sunday People',sold 130 000 copies in Norway.'Cheerio' became even more popular, it sold 250 000 copies. The first release, 'Sunday People' reached Number 1 in the Norwegian charts in 1983 and stayed there for 7 weeks. Subsequent releases showed their staying power for well over a decade. The Band split in 1987 citing "being exhausted from 5 years of constant gigs and recording" but reformed in 1993 to land yet another hit 'Just Another Normal Day' that reached Number 2 for 1 week in the Norwegian charts. From 1983 - 1993 the duo also released 5 albums to critical and chart success starting with 'Sunday People' and 'Face Another Day' both of which reached Number 1 in the album charts in '83 and '85 respectively. Their greatest Hits album 'Absolute Monroes' also peaked at Number 11 in the album charts in 1993.

4. The Monroes from The Netherlands, www.themonroes.nl, was founded in november ‘03 in Groningen. They developed their characteristic sound by covering songs from their own heroes. At first they played songs from garagerockers The Sonics, the sixtiesbeat band Shocking Blue but also soul queen Irma Thomas. Within a few months the covers were replaced by thier own numbers. The music which arose is an exciting mix of garagerock and soul from the fifties & sixties, but also the sound of the modern Detroit guitarbands can be heard in their music. Within a year they played at festivals such as Eurosonic and Metropolis and at VPRO's Club3voor12. BBC's Radio One regularly played their demo-cds and singles. Nowadays they have been discovered and booked by the programmers from clubs as The Dirty water club in London and La Fleche d'Or in Paris. The long-awaited debut-cd was released in September ‘09.
5. A Norwich based indie/punk group consisting of Jamie Delaney (vocals and guitar), David Jarmy (bass and vocals) and Lenny Rout (drums and vocals). They were first noticed nationally after winning a spot supporting The View at their gig at the UEA LCR.

The Monroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's still frightened of the deep
Like a storm her mind has blown away, oh
No one's gonna hurt you
There's a life beyond the wall
You know that I will always be around, oh
Are you scared? How does it feel? (How does it feel?)
You and I (You and I!), You and I (You and I!)
Stay with me Jeanette
You know that i will drag you under
Oh Jeanette, oh
Just take a look at my eyes
I don't wanna leave you
I will guide you through the night
Keep it up, I need you to survive, oh
See my baby smiling
There's no shadows in her eyes
So afraid I lost you for a while, oh
Are you scared? How does it feel? (How does it feel?)
Are your dreams suddenly real?
You and I (You and I!), You and I (You and I!)
Stay with me Jeanette
You know that i will drag you under
Oh Jeanette, oh
Just take a look at my eyes
Stay with me Jeanette
You know that i will drag you under
Oh Jeanette, oh
Just take a look at my eyes
You and I (You and I!), You and I (You and I!)
Stay with me Jeanette
You know that i will drag you under
Oh Jeanette, oh
Just take a look at my eyes
Stay with me Jeanette
You know that i will drag you under
Oh Jeanette, oh
Just take a look at my eyes
The song "Jeanette" by The Monroes depicts a person trying to console a girl named Jeanette, who is still frightened of something, perhaps a traumatic event that has affected her deeply. The lyrics talk about the storm in her mind and how the person wants to guide her through it. They reassure her that there is a life beyond the wall and that they will always be around for her. The chorus repeats the plea to stay with them and take comfort in their presence. The lyrics also implore Jeanette to look into their eyes as a symbol of trust and unity.
This song can be interpreted to be about many things, from trauma to mental illness, to a deep emotional bond between two people. The lyrics describe the struggle to find oneself amidst a world full of fear and anxiety. The warmth and empathy of the lyrics offer hope and the sense that the person singing the song will always be there to support Jeanette.

I saw them in Oslo in 1986 as a young Australian man. The music and the beauty of the woman impressed me. Tusen takk fra Australia.

Maravillosa canción que me recuerda a mi niñez. Me la dedicó mi hermano en 1986 y al volverla a escuchar me trae magníficos e imborrables recuerdos. Muchas gracias desde España por subirla y convertir su visionado en un deleite para mí.

Lo tenía en un compilado y lo escuchábamos con una novia de la adolescencia y ella se lo cantaba a su hermanita que se llamaba así. Que lindos recuerdos. Que bueno encontrar todos estos temas. Grácias.
