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
It seems I write my best songs in extreme situations. A very good friend of ours, who was with us the weekend before last, suffered a cardiac arrest. She was resuscitated, but has been in a coma for days now. We are very, very sad. Here is "Hope Dies Last."
Lyrics
Hope Dies Last [Verse] A friend so dear, like family she was She gave her all, expected no applause She always put others before her own Carried burdens she never showed [Chorus] Hope dies last, it lingers in the air In the love she gave, in the lives that care Through the silence, through shadows cast We hold her close, 'cause hope dies last [Break] [Verse] Her heart was open, though the world was cold A gentle soul, yet endlessly bold She stood by us through joy and strife And forgot herself along the way of life [Chorus] Hope dies last, it lingers in the air In the love she gave, in the lives that care Through the silence, through shadows cast We hold her close, 'cause hope dies last [Bridge] If she dreams now, may the skies be kind May she find the peace she sought to find And if she wakes, we'll be here, steadfast Holding her hand, 'cause hope dies last [Interlude] [Final chorus] Hope dies last, it lingers in the air In the love she gave, in the lives that care Through the silence, through shadows cast We hold her close, 'cause hope dies last [Soft outro] We hold her close, 'cause hope dies last
