I'm a songwriter who loves to collaborate with other songwriters, vocalists, musicians and producers.
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, 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
My Closest Friend
[Verse]
For so many years, you've been by my side
Through every tear, through every tide
We've built a life, hand in hand
A love that time can't understand
[Verse]
In your eyes, I see the life we've made
All the memories that will never fade
You are the reason my heart still sings
You are my love, my everything
[Chorus]
You're my everything, my heart, my soul
Together, we've made each other whole
Through every moment, the highs, the lows
Our love is the story that always grows
I'll stay with you until the end
My love, my partner
My closest friend
My closest friend
[Verse]
And when the stars fall from the sky
I'll still be here, right by your side
Forever yours, until my last breath
Together, my love, even beyond death
[Chorus]
You're my everything, my heart, my soul
Together, we've made each other whole
Through every moment, the highs, the lows
Our love is the story that always grows
I'll stay with you until the end
My love, my partner
My closest friend
My closest friend
[Bridge]
With every step, with every year
I love you more, my love, my dear
I'll hold your hand until the light fades
With you, I'll never have to be afraid
[Chorus]
You're my everything, my heart, my soul
Together, we've made each other whole
Through every moment, the highs, the lows
Our love is the story that always grows
I'll stay with you until the end
My love, my partner
My closest friend
My closest friend
[Exposition]
And when the stars fall from the sky
I'll still be here, right by your side
Forever yours, until my last breath
Together, my love, even beyond death
[Chorus]
You're my everything, my heart, my soul
Together, we've made each other whole
Through every moment, the highs, the lows
Our love is the story that always grows
I'll stay with you until the end
My love, my partner
My closest friend
My closest friend
