Play It On The Radio (female vocals)
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
Since I started writing songs at the age of 17, I've always been dreaming of hearing my songs being played on the radio. It has happened a couple of times in the past, but way too few. This catchy pop song is exactly about this dream of mine. Man, I wish radio stations would play my songs more often.
Lyrics
PLAY IT ON THE RADIO
[Verse]
I wrote this little song, a melody so bright
Words from my heart, shine like city lights
Got a rhythm so catchy, it'll make you feel free
Turn it up loud and dance in the street
[Verse]
With every note, I'm painting a dream
A story of love, or so it may seem
From the mountains to the ocean, let it echo and roll
I'm reaching out to you, let it touch your soul
[Chorus]
So play it on the radio, let the whole world know
This song's a piece of me, that's ready to flow
Let the voices rise, let the music ignite
Play it on the radio, let it shine tonight
Let it shine tonight
[Verse]
Here's to the dreams, to the love we create
Let it spin through the air, don't let it wait
With every heartbeat, with every sound
Play it on the radio, let this tune be found
[Chorus]
So play it on the radio, let the whole world know
This song's a piece of me, that's ready to flow
Let the voices rise, let the music ignite
Play it on the radio, let it shine tonight
Let it shine tonight
[Verse]
Here's to the dreams, to the love we create
Let it spin through the air, don't let it wait
With every heartbeat, with every sound
Play it on the radio, let this tune be found
[Chorus]
So play it on the radio, let the whole world know
This song's a piece of me, that's ready to flow
Let the voices rise, let the music ignite
Play it on the radio, let it shine tonight
Let it shine tonight
[Bridge]
All the hearts in the city, all the stars in the sky
Let us all sing, as the moment flies by
From rooftops to valleys, let the magic unfold
This sweet little song, my story to be told
[Chorus]
So play it on the radio, let the whole world know
This song's a piece of me, that's ready to flow
Let the voices rise, let the music ignite
Play it on the radio, let it shine tonight
Play it on the radio, let the whole world know
This song's a piece of me, that's ready to flow
Let the voices rise, let the music ignite
Play it on the radio
