Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany
For songwriters who dont sing or perform it is extremely hard to make ones mark in the music business because they dont have a platform to present and promote their work. This is more or less the situation that I, Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany, have been confronted with since I started writing songs in 1978. My idea is to complement my songwriting capabilities with the "helping hands" of excellent artists, musicians and innovative producers. In the age of the internet it has become easier to communicate and collaborate with musicians and producers all over the world. I am utilizing the internet and pursuing the idea of a conceptual studio band with a frequently changing lineup of artists. I call this project the "Rob B. Project" since I supply the melodies and/or lyrics of a song and other musicians/producers/songwriters contribute their talents and skills to make it come to life.

Lyrics
If I Go First [Verse 1] If I go first I want you to know I'm so glad we took things slow I could never ask For a better wife Girl, you're the love of my life [Pre-chorus] And every day we had All the time we shared I'd do it all again, I swear [Chorus] No, I don't plan on dying I wanna live for a long, long time I'm just glad that you're mine You've made me so happy You've stood by my side And given me a wonderful life But just in case We have to deal with the worst You've got to know I love you If I go first [Verse 2] If I go first Take care of the kids Try to look out for them Like I did Everyday (everyday) Tell them I'm so proud (I'm so proud) And that they'll see me again In a while [Pre-chorus] I love them so much Just like I love you (I love you) You mean so much to me, you do [Chorus] No, I don't plan on dying I wanna live for a long, long time I'm just glad that you're mine You've made me so happy You've stood by my side And given me a wonderful life But just in case We have to deal with the worst (deal with the worst) You've got to know I love you (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) If I go first You've got to know I love you (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) If I go first [Instrumental outro]
