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
We just moved out of our house and I'm currently in a very emotional state of mind so I thought it would help if I write a song. We sold our house where we lived most of lives and raised our family. But the kids have now grown up and moved out. So, were now looking forward to a new beginning in a new location and a downsized place to live. This is my bittersweet new song We're Finding Our Place.
Lyrics
We're Finding Our Place
[Verse]
Packed boxes everywhere, echoes in the hall
This old house held our laughter, our love, our all
Memories in every corner, where we raised our dreams
But it's time to close that chapter, it's not as it seems
[Pre-chorus]
We gave our hearts to these walls
Every room a piece of time
Now we're stepping into the future
Ready for the climb
[Chorus]
Here's to new beginnings, with the sun shining bright
We're finding our way forward, chasing dreams in the light
Leaving the past behind us, with its bittersweet embrace
In this brand new journey, we're finding our place
We're finding our place
[Verse]
The kids have flown like sparrows, off to chase their own
Now it's just us together, in a space we can call home
New friends are waiting, and adventures on the way
We'll fill this place with laughter, it's a brand new day
[Pre-chorus]
Every step is a promise
Every door a chance to grow
We'll paint our lives in colors
Let the memories flow.
[Chorus]
Here's to new beginnings, with the sun shining bright
We're finding our way forward, chasing dreams in the light
Leaving the past behind us, with its bittersweet embrace
In this brand new journey, we're finding our place
We're finding our place
[Bridge]
Life's a winding road, and were ready for the ride
With each new horizon, we'll stand side by side
So here's to fresh adventures, to the love we'll share anew
This new place filled with promise, it's me and you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Here's to new beginnings, with the sun shining bright
We're finding our way forward, chasing dreams in the light
Leaving the past behind us, with its bittersweet embrace
In this brand new journey, we're finding our place
We're finding our place
