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.

Story behind the song
Gone With The Wind is probably my most mentionable music project of the past 3 years. Last summer Lars E. Carlsson and Sören Skarback, both from Sweden, sent me their lyric and asked if I wanted to use it to compete once again in the Eurovision Song Contest ESC. After competing in 2014 in Romania I found the idea challenging, so I composed a tune together with my son Leon, who then recorded all the instruments and produced the track on his own. We wanted to create a pop song that stood out by sounding slightly different, less mainstream. Tara-Lynn Sharrock contributed a stunning vocal arrangement. I would like to thank everyone involved in this exciting project for sharing their awesome talents with me.
Lyrics
GONE WITH THE WIND (Lars E. Carlsson / Sören Skarback / Leon Baitinger / Robert Baitinger, Tara-Lynn Sharrock) There's a woman, she's watching the fires Of that old civil war on a screen And her courage is just what inspires me To see more of life than I've seen I'm a singer, you called me a starlet But I've never felt happy and free Miss O'Hara, that proud woman Scarlett Was a fighter inspiring me I will try to forget and forgive what's been done Ill break the chains and bathe in the sun Chorus: By tomorrow I'll be gone with the wind Ill be on my way By tomorrow I'll be gone with the wind Like dust blowing away I'm not Scarlett, I'm leaving today Got no cotton farm, no need to stay By tomorrow I'll be gone with the wind Ill be on my way I won't look for some kind of Clark Gable 'Cause I'll never be Vivien Leigh But I trust in myself, I am able To do all I want, I will be me Im no Scarlett OHara but Ill fight just as hard Ill get it right and wont let down my guard Repeat chorus Gone with the wind Gone with the wind I'm not Scarlett, I'm leaving today Got no cotton farm, no need to stay By tomorrow I'll be gone with the wind Ill be far away Gone with the wind Vocal arrangement & vocals: Tara-Lynn Sharrock All instruments & production: Leon Baitinger Carlsson/Skarback/Baitinger 2017 www.robertbaitinger.de
