Matthew Marsden (born 3 March 1973) is an English actor, producer, singer, and model. He has appeared in films such as Helen of Troy, Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, Tamara, Resident Evil: Extinction, Rambo, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Atlas Shrugged.
Marsden was born at Sandwell General Hospital in West Bromwich, West Midlands, and raised on the Yew Tree Estate in Walsall, West Midlands. He is of Irish descent. His father abandoned the family when Marsden was ten years old and he and his sister, Leanne, were brought up by their mother, Ann. He attended Manor High School in Wednesbury, West Midlands, before leaving to go to Dartmouth High School in Great Barr, West Midlands. After leaving school, he joined the National Youth Theatre.
Marsden found work as a model in London with "Models 1", Paris with "Men of Karin", and Milan with "Beatrice". He featured in commercials for products such as Jacobs Coffee, Punica, Vimto, and Impulse. He has since commented, "I was at college in London and when you're a struggling student it doesn't take a genius to work out that it's easier to model for a few hours each week and earn thousands of pounds than work in a bar for a pittance. But I hated doing it really." After nearly two years of modelling he decided to get an agent, and found work as an actor.
"Would You...?" is a song by British electronic/jazz band Touch and Go. It was released on 26 October 1998 as a single.
The song reached the number 3 spot on the UK Singles Chart. It became a hit in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where the ensemble toured extensively. "Would You...?" has been included on television show soundtracks such as G String Divas and the cult British series As If. The track has also been sampled for San Pellegrino, Carlsberg, and Nokia advertisements.
The track is marked by its distinctive sampling of a woman's voice saying "I've noticed you around / I find you very attractive / Would you go to bed with me?". The lyrics – with almost identical wording – were originally used as part of a psychological study conducted in 1978.

Help Yourself is the fourth studio album by singer-songwriter Julian Lennon.
It was released in August 1991, on Atlantic Records in the US and on Virgin Records in the UK. The album was a commercial success in Europe for Lennon, spawning a UK no.6 hit in "Saltwater" (as well as topping the charts in Australia for four weeks); however, it did not do as well in the US, where Atlantic Records were said to have under-promoted the album.
The album features uncredited guitar contributions from George Harrison.
The album was reissued, along with The Secret Value of Daydreaming and Mr. Jordan, on 8 September 2009 by Noble Rot Records.
If I told you a secret, something I wouldn't normally do
Something people might frown upon
Would you
If I kissed you discretely
Would it mean you'd laugh in my face
Would you tell me I'm going crazy
Would you
Sideway glances to no avail
Opportunities that are destined to fail
The love that I've tried to hide
Won't accept it's secret hiding place
Won't accept it's dying without a trace
Without ever having shown itself to you
Would you
It's impossible to drive you away from my dreams
Even if I had a chance I wouldn't
Would you
This longing buried inside
So much more than a mere and mortal sin
What's the use in never knowing what could've been
If I came around then, would you let me in
