Today I am training through Germany. I'd like to say that is a reason to say that I've been to Germany, but I unfortunately can't count it that way. Until I step foot in Germany, I'll still say I haven't been here. But you do look gorgeous Germany! One day I promise to be back.

The black and white award goes to Germany this year. Germany's song this year is on the safer side, but it's still a little bold. Not many countries try and talk about break-ups in a hopeless romantic way, but Germany is attempting it with the cute Roman taking the lead. His homeboy smile will cause anyone's heart to melt and hope that what he is singing about isn't true. The song has a good slow intro that goes into a slightly faster chorus. Then gets even deeper during the transition. The musicality matches with Roman's voice and also with the songs meaning. This job was a good selection by Germany. Best of luck to them.

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
