Band history

Mötley Crüe (album)

Mötley Crüe is the eponymous sixth studio album by heavy metal band Mötley Crüe. It was released on March 15, 1994. Unlike the band's other albums, this album is the only one that does not feature Vince Neil on vocals, it instead features his replacement John Corabi.

The album, which was recorded under the working title of Til Death Do Us Part, was the first release by the band after signing a 25-million dollar contract with Elektra Records. The album was negatively received by critics and was a commercial failure.

Background

Following the success of the Dr. Feelgood and Decade of Decadence albums and tours, the members of Mötley Crüe were tired and needed to take a break from the non-stop pressures of the road. Instead of being given a break, the band, then consisting of singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx, guitarist Mick Mars, and drummer Tommy Lee, had returned to the studio to begin work on the follow-up album to their 1989 album Dr. Feelgood on a two week on - two week off schedule. While working on new material in the studio in early '92, Sixx, Mars and Lee had a falling out with Neil that led to the singer quitting or being fired from the band, effectively leaving Mötley Crüe without a frontman.

Skylar's Song

by: Motley Crue

I'm starin' into the night
Seen the times of my life with you
With you it'll always be right
My burnin' light, your star will shine tonight
Sky, you will always be mine
I feel the angels by your side
I thought there would always be time
This love of mine for our love in a future time
I feel you with me at night
I sense your every move
I know you hear me
And everything I do
I dream of the things that you say
And the times that we play
Your love is the warmth of my day
It'll never fade away
I feel you with me at night
I sense your every move
I know you hear me
And everything I do
I swear my never ending love to you
Lord it's true a never ending love to you
I feel you with me at night
I sense your every move
I know you hear me
And everything I do
I do it for you
Love, my never ending love for you
Love, my never ending love for you
