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.

Lyrics
THE PRETENDER Verse You pretend youre sophisticated But I know the old you And you think that youre educated But I know your IQ Pre chorus We dropped out of high school Went our separate ways I stayed back here in Queens And you moved to L.A. Chorus You surrendered your identity You became, the pretender! For a life of anonymity You became, the pretender! Verse You portray yourself as royalty Its true you come from Queens That Boston accent is convincing But you grew up with me Pre chorus You studied out on the street Learned to imitate wealth I found a job and I worked, while You learned the art of stealth Chorus Bridge Youre an actor on a stage A mere charade Youre a sly chameleon A shadow of the girl you were back when
