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
Recently, we lost one of our dearest friends, Uli, way too soon. For more than 40 years, she was by our side more like family than just a friend. Her sudden passing has left a huge void in our lives, but also countless memories of the times we shared together. Since then, weve kept her photo on our bookshelf with a candle burning beside it a small light to honor the warmth she brought into our lives. That image became the inspiration for a song I wrote in her memory. Every time we hear it, well be reminded of her love, her friendship, and the joy she gave us. This is my tribute to Uli.
Lyrics
A Candle Burns For You [Verse] We walked through life together, through laughter and through tears A friendship built on love that carried all the years You filled our world with treasures, reminders everywhere And though you left too early, your spirit lingers near [Pre-chorus] Your light is never gone It carries us along [Chorus] Whoa-ooh-ooh-oooh A candle burns for you It shines the whole night through Our love forever true Whoa-ooh-ooh-oooh A candle burns for you Oh, it reminds us of you And all the things we used to do [Verse] Line danced with us so bravely, though the steps were hard to learn So happy just to join us, and share the joy you earned We dreamed of seas to wander, of sunsets still to see But dreams can fade so quickly, like waves upon the sea [Pre-chorus] Your light is never gone It carries us along [Chorus] Whoa-ooh-ooh-oooh A candle burns for you It shines the whole night through Our love forever true Whoa-ooh-ooh-oooh A candle burns for you Oh, it reminds us of you And all the things we used to do [Bridge] No last goodbye was spoken, no final words to say But in our hearts you're with us, you never walked away Your picture on the shelf, your flame forever near Each night the candle whispers, reminds us you're still here [Chorus] Whoa-ooh-ooh-oooh A candle burns for you It shines the whole night through Our love forever true Whoa-ooh-ooh-oooh A candle burns for you Oh, it reminds us of you And all the things we used to do [Final Chorus] Whoa-ooh-ooh-oooh A candle burns for you It shines the whole night through Our love forever true Whoa-ooh-ooh-oooh A candle burns for you Oh, it reminds us of you And all the things we used to do [Outro] A candle burns for you A candle burns for you
