I'm a songwriter who loves to collaborate with other songwriters, vocalists, musicians and producers.
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, 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
Time Beats Timing
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Headlines flashin’, charts blood red
Everybody losin’ their head
“Sell it now!" yeah, that’s the sound
Just zoom out, feet on the ground
[Verse]
Buy low, sell high, cute little line
But patience pays, over time
Spread it wide, let compounding shine
Time beats timing, every time
[Pre-chorus]
Trend’s your friend, ride that wave
Till it bends, that’s when you’re brave
Fear gets loud, fade it out
That’s what wealth’s all about
[Chorus]
Time beats timing, say it twice
Long-term play, that’s my advice
Fear moves fast, gains come slow
Stay locked in and watch it grow
Time beats timing, hold that line
Discipline over dollar signs
Time beats timing, long-term win
Patience pays again and again
[Break]
Patience pays again and again
Time beats timing
[Verse]
“Sell in May", yeah, walk away
Next week, “It’s different today"
Market’s right, I learned that truth
So I buy the dip, that’s my proof
[Verse]
More risk, more return, that’s fine
But not knowin’ is the landmine
Cash plus courage when skies turn gray
That’s how fortunes get made
[Pre-chorus]
Greedy when they’re scared to death
Careful when they hold their breath
If you’re down but thesis strong
Double up, move along
[Chorus]
Time beats timing, say it twice
Long-term play, that’s my advice
Fear moves fast, gains come slow
Stay locked in and watch it grow
Time beats timing, hold that line
Discipline over dollar signs
Time beats timing, long-term win
Patience pays again and again
[Bridge]
Whoa,
Price I pay, value I get
Discipline’s my safety net
Whoa,
Buy stocks, sleep twenty years
Wake up smilin’, cheers
[Final chorus]
Time beats timing, say it twice
Long-term play, that’s my advice
Fear moves fast, gains come slow
Stay locked in and watch it grow
Time beats timing, hold that line
Discipline over dollar signs
Time beats timing, long-term win
Patience pays again and again
[Outro]
Don’t you panic, play it cool
Money workin’, while you snooze
Time beats timing, long-term win
Patience pays again and again
Time beats timing
Time beats timing
Time beats timing
Time beats timing
