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
25 Years Ago [Intro] Uuh-uuh-uuh-uuh-u [Verse] He just turned fifteen He's become a young man But me, I'm just his dad And I don't understand He has his own friends And he has his own ways He's got his own ideas On how to spend his days He's got his own life And he thinks I'll never know (whoa-whoa-whoa-oh) But I was once his age (Ah) Twenty-five years ago (uuh-uuh-uuh-uuh-u) [Verse] He's growing up so fast He's ready to fly No I can't hold him back There's no point to even try His whole life's in front of him I know I've been there, too I'll help him every way I can 'Cause that's the best that I can do He wants so much so fast It all seems to come so slow (whoa-whoa-whoa-oh) Just like it did for me (Ah) Twenty-five years ago (uuh-uuh-uuh-uuh-u) [Verse] Twenty-five years ago I had my own dreams (25 years ago) I had my own hopes And I had my own schemes (25 years ago) I watch him and I smile And I can't help but glow Because I see myself Twenty-five years ago I'm so proud of my son And I want to let him know (whoa-whoa-whoa-oh) 'Cause I was once his age (Ah) Twenty-five years ago (uuh-uuh-uuh-uuh-u) [Outro] Twenty-five years ago (uuh-uuh-uuh-uuh-u) That was twenty-five years ago (uuh-uuh-uuh-uuh-u)
