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
I wanted to write a song that describes the aftermath of a breakup (or a relationship that's emotionally over) in which the narrator keeps encountering reminders of their ex-lover in everyday life.
Lyrics
Caught In The Afterglow [Instrumental Intro] [Verse] Coffee shop window, I catch your laugh again Green scarf on a stranger, it pulls me back to then Sidewalk cracks whisper your name beneath my feet Every shadow flickers, every glance repeats [Pre-chorus] I swear I'm moving forward, but I stumble, I stall City hums your echo, I feel you in it all [Chorus] I keep chasing ghosts down every avenue Your perfume, your smile, they bleed right through Passing memories I can't outgrow Dangerously caught in the afterglow Dangerously caught in the afterglow Dangerously caught in the afterglow [Break] [Verse] Subway car rattles, heartbeat in the track Your voice in a stranger's song pulls me right back Neon lights fracture your face in passing eyes I whisper my goodbyes, but goodbye's just a lie [Pre-chorus] I try to break the rhythm, escape the city's hum But the music of your absence keeps me coming undone [Chorus] I keep chasing ghosts down every avenue Your perfume, your smile, they bleed right through Passing memories I can't outgrow Dangerously caught in the afterglow Dangerously caught in the afterglow Dangerously caught in the afterglow [Bridge] Four blocks away, I see you with someone new My pulse syncs to the subway, every line thinks of you I thought the night could hide me, but it glows, won't let go Every step I take, I take it for the echo [Interlude] [Chorus] I keep chasing ghosts down every avenue Your perfume, your smile, they bleed right through Passing memories I can't outgrow Dangerously caught in the afterglow [Outro] Dangerously caught in the afterglow
