1) Rob "Roy" Raindor… Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists with the name of Rob.
1) Rob "Roy" Raindorf (psych-funk/afrobeat)
Rob "Roy" Raindorf is one of the most enigmatic artists to come out of Ghana. Born in Accra in 1949, he appeared from nowhere with a unique and twisted sound. An admirer of American artists Otis Reading, James Brown, Wilson Pickett and Ray Charles, Rob began his trade by learning the piano at a music school in Cotonou, Benin. When his education ended, he ventured out to make what money he could by getting gigs with the movers and shakers of the Beninese music scene, namely Orchestre Poly-Rythmo as well as the Black Santiagos. Absorbing and learning the intricacies of music composition, Rob returned to Ghana where he began to write his own songs and eventually sought the backing of a band, specifically one which possessed horns. In 1977, a young Rob travelled to the city of Takoradi in western Ghana to approach an army band named Mag-2 whom he had seen perform in Accra. Mag-2 had an entire section of its ensemble dedicated to horns and some of the most sophisticated music equipment available in Ghana at the time - Hofner guitars, Yamaha keyboards and the like. Belonging to the "magnificient" second battalion of the Takoradi-based army unit, original founder Amponsah Rockson decided to aptly name the band "Mag-2." Joining the army during the 1970s was often an easy decision, particularly for musicians, since the army provided not only good music equipment but basic services such as food and medical care.
Mag-2 was essentially filled with the best elements of "The Parrots," a highlife band in which Amponsah was the lead guitarist. Their primary task was to entertain soldiers and with the army tour bus, perform from town to town as well as in reputable venues in the captial. Enticed by the style of music Rob had proposed, Mag-2 backed the Ghanaian sensation on two of his most astonishing records - his first and second albums - "Funky Rob Way" and "Make it Fast, Make it Slow," both of which were recorded at Essiebons studios in Accra.
Despite Rob's training and musical education, Amponsah was responsible for the vast majority of the compositions, such as building the chord progression and arranging the horns that Rob craved. Rob would even wait for the Mag-2 maestro's cue to begin singing.
There were early successes but a once-unflinching interest in Afrobeat began to wane by the early 1980s and Disco Boogie rapidly became the vogue style around which label owners and music producers sought to capitalize upon. The style Rob had shaped his career around was in decline and an adequate income consequently became a major concern, forcing him to travel to Hamburg, Germany in search of a financial backer.
2) Rob (Elektro/Indie/Pop artist from France)
His real name is Robin Coudert. Rob has released two albums on the Source:
- Don't kill (2000)
- Satyred Love (2002)
He has also produced 3 EPs:
- Musique Pour Un Enfant Jouet in 1998
- Amours in 2000
- Power Glove in 2001
His music could be described as Neo-Prog-Pop, often weird and noisy (first album) sometimes really catchy and even dreamy like fellow Frenchmen Air (second album).
Rob was meant to play at the Air gig in Versailles in June 2007 but was replaced by Alex Gopher.
He has been involved in a short film that he has just published on his myspace at: http://www.myspace.com/dontkillrob

Haunted
Rob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll say it like I mean it
Cause I'm the only who's leaving
And I'm saying that I think it's the end
I say that cause I'm dealing with
All these haunted feelings
And you tell me you don't want me to go
You say you understand
You say that I am a selfish man
But part of why I'm leaving
Is I just don't believe in
A place that doesn't give a god damn
About their friends and neighbors
Unless they need a favor
So, go tell all the folks that
You've been hurling jokes at
They need to bear it all with a grin
And maybe while you're living
All will be forgiven
If you take their lives out for a spin
Please don't make me say it again
I've said it in my head
So many times and now I find
That I just can not comprehend
That I will be the one responsible in the end
I'm sorry that I'm walking away
From everything I ever knew
But I just can't stand the truth
I fear another night or a day
I fear my own feelings
And all the words that you might say
I tell myself I'm taking a stand
But really what I'm doing
Is sitting out an ugly hand
So, go tell all the folks that
You've been hurling jokes at
They need to bear it all with a grin
And maybe while you're living
All will be forgiven
If you take their lives out for a spin
You don't know
Or you won't show that side of you
You won't show
The part inside that must be true
You don't know
Or you won't show that side of you
You won't show
The part inside that must be true
What the fuck
The song "Haunted" by Rob is a powerful expression of the singer's internal struggles with haunted feelings, the corrosive effects of toxic relationships, and the sobering realization that sometimes we must take difficult decisions to break free from these emotional chains. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and resignation to an end that feels inevitable, but also demonstrate the singer's determination to assert his worth and reject the status quo. The opening lines, "I'll say it like I said it, again/I'll say it like I mean it" highlight his resolve to speak the truth, even if it means facing opposition from loved ones.
The song then delves into the singer's pain and frustration with the haunted feelings that torment him. He acknowledges his loved one's attempts to dissuade him from leaving, but ultimately concludes that he cannot continue living in a place that does not care for its people. The lyrics "But part of why I'm leaving/Is I just don't believe in/A place that doesn't give a god damn/About their friends and neighbors/Unless they need a favor" reveals the corruption and moral decay in the society that he's leaving behind. However, there's also a sense of guilt and responsibility, as he understands that his decision may hurt others around him.
The line "So, go tell all the folks that/You've been hurling jokes at/They need to bear it all with a grin" represents the toxic relationships and emotional abuse that the singer has endured. His decision to leave is not only an act of self-preservation, but a way of declaring that he won't tolerate such behavior anymore. The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer feels trapped by his own emotions and fears, that he cannot bear to face them any longer. The repetition of the line "You don't know/Or you won't show that side of you/You won't show/The part inside that must be true" reinforces his sense of frustration and despair, that the people he loves are unable or unwilling to see the truth about his situation.
Line by Line Meaning
I'll say it like I said it, again
I will repeat what I said because it's necessary and true
I'll say it like I mean it
I will express myself with sincerity
Cause I'm the only who's leaving
I am the one who has decided to depart
And I'm saying that I think it's the end
I believe that it's the conclusion of something
I say that cause I'm dealing with
I express this because I'm facing
All these haunted feelings
Many unresolved emotions and memories
And you tell me you don't want me to go
You say you would prefer if I didn't leave
You say you understand
You say you comprehend my situation
But oh if you could only know
But if only you could completely understand
You say that I am a selfish man
You accuse me of being self-centered
But part of why I'm leaving
One of the reasons that I'm departing
Is I just don't believe in
Is that I don't have faith in
A place that doesn't give a god damn
A location that isn't concerned
About their friends and neighbors
About their peers and community
Unless they need a favor
Except when they require assistance
So, go tell all the folks that
Therefore, inform all the people that
You've been hurling jokes at
You've been mocking and ridiculing
They need to bear it all with a grin
Those people must bear everything cheerfully and uncomplainingly
And maybe while you're living
Possibly, while you're alive
All will be forgiven
All offenses will be pardoned
If you take their lives out for a spin
If you experience their existence freely
Please don't make me say it again
I don't want to have to repeat myself
I've said it in my head
I've thought it many times
So many times and now I find
A vast amount of times, and at present, I realize
That I just can not comprehend
That I cannot understand
That I will be the one responsible in the end
That I will be accountable in the conclusion
I'm sorry that I'm walking away
I apologize for leaving
From everything I ever knew
From all that was familiar to me
But I just can't stand the truth
But I cannot tolerate the reality
I fear another night or a day
I am afraid of both night and day
I fear my own feelings
I am frightened by my own emotions
And all the words that you might say
And all of the expressions that you could vocalize
I tell myself I'm taking a stand
I convince myself that I am acting definitively
But really what I'm doing
But in actuality what I'm doing
Is sitting out an ugly hand
Is avoiding an unpleasant situation
You don't know
You are unaware
Or you won't show that side of you
Or you refuse to reveal that side of yourself
You won't show
You won't display
The part inside that must be true
The genuine, inner aspect
What the fuck
An expression of disbelief or confusion
