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.

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.

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. The resultant sound is somewhere between recognizably cello-like traditional playing, and an edgier, more atmospheric, and more challenging tone.

Pero alimentas la ilusi? N
Y no puedo evitar la tentaci? N.
S?, tu eres fuego en espiral,
Yo, una tormenta de emoci? N
Ya casi que no puedo respirar.
Que no ves que hasta el viento
Aparecer.
Ven y besame hasta que quieras hoy
Ven y rompe todas las penas hoy
Que hasta el alma has hecho temblar sin

Ven y encierrame en tus vacios hoy
Deja al coraz? N sin latidos hoy

S?, sigue lloviendo en mi balc? N
Un torbellino apareci?
No existen predicciones para el fin.
Que no ves...
Ven y b? Same...
Huele a ti,
Mi cuerpo huele a ti
Mientras mas lo pienso
Me asalta el deseo
De rozarte la piel con mi seno
Y causarte las ganas de nuevo
Perdiendo el control.
Ven y besame...
Y si ves una l? Grima caer
No adivines que pueda ser
Tan solo piensa que no alcanza...
No, no,

The song "Ven Y..." by Lena is a passionate ode to intense desire and longing. In the song, the singer describes how the object of her affection consumes her entire being and makes it difficult for her to function normally. She describes herself as a "storm of emotion" and her love interest as a "spiral of fire." Despite the turmoil that this love causes her, she cannot resist the temptation to be with this person, even if it may lead to her downfall.
The song describes how the love has caused upheaval in the world around the singer; even the wind has gone mad and the calm refuses to appear. The imagery used in the song is powerful, with mentions of shadows in the garden and a whirlwind appearing in the balcony. The singer also talks about how her love interest has rendered her helpless, causing her heart to skip a beat, and her eyes to be filled with fear.
Overall, "Ven Y..." is a song about the all-consuming power of love and how it can bring both ecstasy and agony. The lyrics convey the feeling of being swept away by passion and the desire to lose oneself completely in the arms of the beloved.
