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
"Cuts When It Lands" is about how words - even those disguised as jokes - can wound deeper than we realize. Inspired by the growing hostility in todays political and social conversations, the song explores how sarcasm, mockery, and anger have replaced understanding and respect. It's a reflection on how easy it is to turn dialogue into damage, and how humor can still hurt when it cuts where it lands.
Lyrics
Cuts When It Lands [Verse 1] You told me to be quiet, to be discreet Or shadows in the night would drag me off the street Toss me in a van, cut me down at the knee Like some twisted fairytale from a bad dream "They'll eat your foot for supper, pick teeth with my bones" That's the way you wrote it, not my words alone [Pre-Chorus] You laughed when you wrote it, said it was just for fun But the punchline hit harder than a loaded gun [Chorus] Why's it sound so mean when you say it? All that fire in the way you play it Maybe it's a joke in your head, but it cuts when it lands Why's it come out sharp when you write it? Even laughter feels like you fight it I'm just singing along, but it cuts when it lands [Break] [Verse 2] You called it a meltdown, a neurotic scene Castigated you for cruelty, that's how it's been You say you were joking, but your tones unclear Words slice deeper than they sound when they land right here I once helped you out, now I feel betrayed Kindness fades too easy when the insults replay [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it's just your style, but it cuts too rough If you call it humor, well, I've had enough [Chorus] Why's it sound so mean when you say it? All that fire in the way you play it Maybe it's a joke in your head, but it cuts when it lands Why's it come out sharp when you write it? Even laughter feels like you fight it I'm just singing along, but it cuts when it lands [Bridge] I don't want a battle, I don't need a fight Just a song with a melody that feels right But the words you throw, they stick like glue Don't you see what they do? [Interlude] [Final Chorus] Why's it sound so mean when you say it? All that fire in the way you play it Maybe it's a joke in your head, but it cuts when it lands Why's it come out sharp when you write it? Even laughter feels like you fight it I'm just singing along, but it cuts when it lands [Outro] I'm just singing along, but it cuts when it lands
