Detailed biographies:
1) Lena Meyer-Landrut (born 23 May 1991), also known by her stage name Lena, is a German singer. She represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo, Norway, and won the contest with the song Satellite. With her three entries from the German national final Unser Star für Oslo (Our Star for Oslo), Meyer-Landrut set an all-time chart record in her home country by debuting with three songs in the top five of the German singles chart. Satellite debuted at number one in Germany, and has since been certified 5x Gold. In May 2010, Meyer-Landrut released her first album, My Cassette Player, which debuted at number one in the German albums chart.
Despite having had no professional singing experience, Meyer-Landrut decided to participate in the talent show Unser Star für Oslo (Our Star for Oslo), a newly-created national television programme to select the German entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo. Among 4,500 entrants, Meyer-Landrut was picked as one of the 20 contestants for the show. Asked about her motivation to apply, she stated, "I like to test myself. I wanted to see how I am perceived, and I wanted to hear what people with knowledge have to say about it. I personally can’t judge myself at all." After her first appearance, performing My Same by British singer Adele, Meyer-Landrut received much praise from the show's jury panel and was instantly considered the favourite. The following week, Adele's My Same entered the German singles chart at number 61. Meyer-Landrut reached the final of Unser Star für Oslo, mainly performing lesser known songs of international artists such as The Bird and the Bee, Kate Nash, Paolo Nutini and Lisa Mitchell. Out of her eight cover performances, five of the original songs subsequently charted in Germany, with all but one reaching their peak chart position. While competing at Unser Star für Oslo, Meyer-Landrut continued to attend school. The last show was held one month before the start of her final exams. Throughout the show, Meyer-Landrut was seen as the clear favourite, often leading internet polls by huge margins. In the final on 12 March 2010, Meyer-Landrut sang three songs specifically written for the contest, Bee, Satellite and Love Me . Through televoting, the audience chose "Satellite", written by American Julie Frost and Dane John Gordon, as Lena's designated song in the event of her victory. In a second round of voting, Meyer-Landrut was chosen as Germany's entry for the 55th Eurovision Song Contest, beating the last remaining contestant, Jennifer Braun. The music video for "Satellite" was shot during the night of the final and premiered on German television stations four days later.
One day after winning Unser Star für Oslo, all three of the songs performed by her in the final topped the German iTunes chart, making her the first singer to achieve such a feat. Her three songs all entered the top five of the German singles chart, reaching positions number one, three and four, which no artist had ever achieved since charts were first released in Germany in 1959. "Satellite" sold over 100,000 downloads in its first week and was eligible to be certified gold, becoming Germany's fastest selling digital release ever. It was certified platinum in its fourth week, remaining at number one for five consecutive weeks in Germany. It peaked at number two in both Austria and Switzerland.
On 7 May 2010, Lena released her debut album, My Cassette Player. Produced by Stefan Raab, it includes the singles "Satellite", "Love Me" and "Bee", as well as two cover songs and eight previously-unreleased songs. Meyer-Landrut is credited as a co-writer on five songs. The album debuted at number one in the German albums chart, number three in both the Austrian and the Swiss albums chart and number five in Billboard's European Top 100 Albums.
The final of the Eurovision Song Contest was held on 29 May 2010 at Oslo's Telenor Arena. Lena won the contest with the song "Satellite", giving Germany its first win since 1982, and its first as a unified country. She returned to Hanover the following day, where she was greeted by 40,000 people. In June, "Satellite" regained the top spot in the German singles chart for one week and also peaked at number one in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. It also topped European Hot 100 singles chart, being the first Eurovision song to achieve this.
Meyer-Landrut attempted to defend her title in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. She was the third winner to do so, and the first in over 50 years.
In January 2011, the TV-Show "Unser Song für Deutschland" was announced. The viewers of the show decided for Meyer-Landrut's 2011 Eurovision song. All twelve songs Meyer-Landrut performed during that show were recorded on her second studio album Good News which was released on 8 February 2011. The album debuted at number one of german album charts and managed to reach a Gold status for selling more than 100,000 units in Germany in its first week of release.
On February 18, the "Unser Song für Deutschland" final was held and it was decided through televoting that Meyer-Landrut would perform the entry "Taken by a Stranger" in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 where it was placed tenth. The song was released at 22 February 2011.
In April 2011 she went on her first German tour in the largest concert halls in Berlin, Hanover, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Leipzig, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and Cologne. The concert in Frankfurt was recorded on video and was released on DVD in May 2011.
She also sang the theme song to the German movie What a Man. In 2012 the single Stardust was released on September 21. In December it was certified Gold for selling 150,000 copies. The album Stardust was released on 12 October and it debuted at #2 on German Albums chart. Since October 2012 she performed the theme song in the opening credits of the Sesamstraße, the German version of the Sesame Street. In November 2012 she covered the Pippi Longstocking song Sjörövar Fabbe (Seeräuber-Opa Fabian) for the compilation album Giraffenaffen.
Lena's sixth single Neon was released on March 15. 2013 In October 2013 a song called Revolution a collaboration with Dicks on Fire was released.
Following her success in Germany, Meyer-Landrut has said she would enjoy a singing or an acting career, but explained, "I'm not fixated on doing music my whole life." She stated she originally planned to study acting after graduating school, but now is unsure "if time allows". She has said her musical influences include Adele, Kate Nash, Vanessa Carlton, as well as the German singer Clueso and German pop rock band Wir sind Helden.

3) Lena Griffin is a multi-instrumentalist and ambient musician based in Portland, Oregon, United States. She is the wife of ambient experimentalist M. Griffin, and works as the full-time manager of Hypnos Recordings. Her debut album, "Extended Gestures for Cello", was released on Hypnos Secret Sounds in 2007. As indicated by the album's title, these recordings are entirely made up of solo cello, performed live in studio by Lena, with electronic treatments and production by M. Griffin.

Lena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could be something that you're thinking about
Maybe you gonna try, maybe you can be a winner
Maybe you can be an astronaut
Maybe you're gonna cry for a long forgotten lover
Maybe I think you better stop
Maybe you decide that you go and tell your mother
If you have a lot of tears to drop
I can not wait any longer
The time is right to hit the road
And I wonder
Would you follow me?
Maybe you gonna dance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
Maybe you don't lie in whatever you deliver
It's just turn your inside out
Well I can't rely, couldn't say it any clearer
Could you tell me, no I doubt
Maybe you gotta try, could be chocolate or banana
Doesn't matter but I guess you won't
Maybe you deny that we complement each other
Maybe I do, maybe you don't
I can not wait any longer
The time is right to hit the road
And I wonder
Would you follow me?
Maybe you gonna dance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Maybe you take a chance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
If you ask me, I don't know
All the chances that we blow
Guess you know what I'm dreaming of
all I want is just to be your love
I can not wait any longer
The time is right to hit the road
And I wonder
Would you follow me?
Maybe you gonna dance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Maybe you take a chance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
The song "Maybe" by Lena is a playful and flirty invitation to take a chance on love. The lyrics are deliberately ambiguous, playing with the idea of uncertainty and the many possibilities that come with taking a risk. The song explores the idea of exploring new possibilities and taking chances in life.
In the first verse, Lena suggests that there are a lot of possibilities that she and her potential love interest could explore together. She suggests that maybe they could be something, or maybe they could be someone else's. She invites the other person to take a chance, perhaps even to become an astronaut. Lena then acknowledges that there may be some uncertainty and doubts, as indicated by the suggestion that the other person may cry for a long-forgotten lover, or that Lena might suggest that they tell their mother if they have a lot of tears to drop.
The chorus of the song expresses Lena's eagerness to hit the road and find out where their potential relationship could lead. She wonders if the other person would follow her, suggesting that she is taking the lead in this endeavor. The chorus also emphasizes that the outcome of their possible relationship doesn't matter a lot - what matters is taking a chance on love. The second verse continues the playful, ambiguous tone of the first verse, suggesting that there are many possibilities to explore, and that Lena cannot rely on what the other person says or does. The bridge of the song suggests that Lena doesn't know what the future holds, but that she is dreaming of a chance to be the other person's love.
Overall, "Maybe" is an upbeat and lighthearted song that celebrates the risk-taking and uncertainty that comes with exploring new possibilities, particularly in the realm of love. The lyrics embrace the idea that sometimes it's better to take a chance and see what happens rather than staying safely in one's comfort zone.
