Roman Lob

Roman Lob became famous only months ago, when he won the German talent show Unser Star Für Baku. However, music has always played a great role in his life.

Roman Lob was born in Dusseldorf on July 2, 1990. Having won the German casting show “Unser Star für Baku“ he is going to represent Germany in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest. Music has played an important role in Roman’s life from the very beginning, since his grand-father used to play the organ at the local church. He also sang at the choir of his kindergarten. Later on, Roman Lob learned to play the piano.

According to him, he’s been making music since the age of eight. Since 2005, Roman has been a member of several bands playing the drums or singing the lead vocals. In Baku, Roman Lob will perform the song Standing Still composed by Jamie Cullum, Steve Robson and Wayne Hector.

Lyrics of Standing Still

Standing Still

Guess we knew this was coming on
‘Cause you’re already gone in my head
You can tell me that I’m wrong
That you’re staying with me instead
When winter’s come along
And summer’s dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around the emptiness I found
And find a way to make you stay

But I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you leave me now
I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you’re walking out
Yeah, I’m just standing still
Now before I felt so strong
And pieces of me break so easy
What I thought would be the end
Is just the feeling that you freed me

Girl, this ain’t giving up
It’s knowing where to stop
Knowing when a thing is over
I know my life is blind
See for the first time
This ain’t gonna bring us closer

'Cause I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you leave me now
Yeah, I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you’re walking out

I’m standing still
And I’m just standing still
As you leave me now
And I’m just standing still
When winter’s come along
And summer’s dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around
The emptiness I found
And find a way to make you stay

I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you leave me now
Yeah, I’m standing still
I’m standing still
As you’re walking out
I’m just standing still
I’m standing still
Yeah, I’m just standing still
Just standing still
Je reste debout
Nous savions que ça devait arriver
Car tu es déjà partie de ma tête
Tu peux me dire que j'ai tord
Que tu vas rester avec moi en fait
Le vent a tourné,
l'été est mort et enterré
Est-ce qu'il reste
quelque chose à dire ici ?
Je peux tenir le vide
que j'ai trouvé dans mes mains
Trouver un moyen
pour que tu restes
Mais je reste debout, je reste debout
Alors que tu pars
Je reste debout, je reste debout
Alors que tu t'en vas
Je reste seulement debout
Je n'aurais jamais pensé être si fort
Pourtant je suis très fragile
Ce que je pensais être la fin
est le sentiment d'être libéré
Tu sais, je n'abandonne pas,
je sais où m'arrêter
Savoir que tout est terminé
Je sais que l'amour est aveugle,
je vois pour la première fois
Rien ne pourra plus nous rapprocher
Car je reste debout, je reste debout
Alors que tu pars
Je reste debout, je reste debout
Alors que tu t'en vas
Je reste debout
Je reste seulement debout
Le vent a tourné,
l'été est mort et enterré
Est-ce qu'il reste
quelque chose à dire ici ?
Mais je reste debout, je reste debout
Alors que tu pars
Je reste debout, je reste debout
Alors que tu t'en vas
Je reste seulement debout
