Rob B (GER)

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.

Story behind the song

I just wrote a new song called “When No One’s Watchin’.
It comes from a place of compassion - and also from a question that’s been on my heart.
When a missing person case makes national headlines, we all rally together. Resources pour in. Cameras show up. The world pays attention. And that’s a beautiful thing.
But what about the countless mothers and families whose stories never make the news? Do they get the same fight? The same urgency? The same spotlight?
This song isn’t about criticism as much as it’s about fairness. Every missing mother deserves the same search, the same hope, the same effort - whether the world is watching or not.

Lyrics

When No One’s Watchin'

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
Another mom goes missin’ down a quiet little street
No cameras flashin’, no reporters at her feet
Some folks pray in silence, some folks cry alone
While the world just scrolls past on their phones

[Pre-chorus]
But when the spotlight shines on a famous name
The world shows up, and it plays a different game

[Chorus]
When no one’s watchin’, do they still care?
Do they send the searchlights, do they get there?
Or is it just a number in a file somewhere?
Yeah, the world moves on, but it’s never fair
Every mother lost deserves a fight
Not just the ones the cameras like

[Break]

[Verse]
She’s just a mom, like mine or yours
But headlines scream while other stories get ignored
They’ll spare no expense, leave no stone unturned
But how many cries go unheard?

[Pre-chorus]
It’s hard not to notice, hard not to see
How fame changes everything, even tragedy

[Chorus]
When no one’s watchin’, do they still care?
Do they send the searchlights, do they get there?
Or is it just a number in a file somewhere?
Yeah, the world moves on, but it’s never fair
Every mother lost deserves a fight
Not just the ones the cameras like

[Bridge]
I hope she comes home safe, that’s the prayer we raise
But I won’t forget the ones who slip away
It shouldn’t take a name that the world will know
To get the heroes out there, to make the searchlights glow

[Interlude]

[Final chorus]
When no one’s watchin’, do they still care?
Do they send the searchlights, do they get there?
Or is it just a number in a file somewhere?
Yeah, the world moves on, but it’s never fair
Every mother lost deserves a fight
Not just the ones the cameras like

[Outro]
So light a candle for the ones unseen
Every missing heart deserves to be seen
