Hi,
earlier this year I posted a Lyrics sheet here. So, and now it´s my pleasure to introduce the final version of our song. Robert Baitinger produced the song and my friend Sarah Fischer sang th lead-vocals.

IT’S ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE
(Robert Baitinger/Martin Gotz)

Verse 1:
Look at me
Now I’m alone again
My heart feels so empty

I had to leave
‘Cause for your heart of stone
I never found the key

Pre-chorus:
I can’t go back, no
Cause you hurt me so
Kiss it goodbye and just
Let it go

Chorus:
What´s to say
I´m sure it’s all been
Said before
I don’t want
To talk it over
Anymore
This is not
The love that we’ve been
Looking for
But that has all been said before
It’s all been said before

Verse 2:
Everyday
You took my love for granted
Just let it slip away

Not a thing
That I said or did
Made you change your ways

Pre-chorus:
I can’t go back, no
‘Cause you hurt me so
Kiss it goodbye and just
Let it go

Chorus

Bridge:
No - It’s not worth fighting for
You always asked for more
I did all a girl could do
You said you´d give me love
But love is not enough
When the feelings are not true

Chorus

Martin, Sorry Dude, I'm not gonna let you beat me on the least responses to your song buddy !!lol!! I really, really enjoyed this quiet, soothing requiem of angst. Sarah did a beautiful job on the vocals. Also, I really liked the very subtle keyboard work. Thanks for not overpowering the singer as it resulted in a very well balanced work. Super job !!

Hi Martin,

This was the first song by you that I've listened to--and it's a beaut. I really can't find anything I would change. Sarah's vocals are right on, the melody is a perfect match for the lyrics. And I agree with Darrell--the subtle keyboard is a really nice effect. Vey well done. you should be proud of this one. Take care,
Roger

hi , i had to be careful here. the first thing i noticed before the music started was the form of the lyric, i instantly recognized my style, always trying for "less is more" simple thots heavy with meaning to those who can read between the lines , it torn down any walls, but then that music, that voice, i lost track of the words and fell into the trance. i couldn't catch up so i waited until the song ended and read every line to make sure, perfect.

shalom, dmk

Gave a listen, real nice, wholeheartedly agree with the comments from Darrell, Roger and dmk!

This is a very good song and my only gripe is vocal delivery, it sounded like you were hanging back on the microphone instead of belting it out. It's a crime I commit all the time.

I don't know if it would help dropping the the key a whole note so it's more comfortable to really bash it out for your vocal range, just a thought.

Hey, guys, wow, I´m overwhelmed. All these kind words, wow. My friend Robert did the production, he send me a demo of this song earlier this year, I just came up with some Lyrical suggestions and found the singer. So, thank you Robert, that I could be a part of this and thank you guys, for your kind words

Thanks Martin for helping me write this song. And thanks to everybody else for the very positive comments. I'm very glad you all liked this track.

All the best
Robert

Martin, I selfishly returned for another go. Your timing is so perfect on this tune. I appreciate the electronic sounding drums in this case, although I usually find them unnerving, but I digress. Sarah has such a pretty voice that so worked for me. The sorrowful keyboard refrain really "drove" the melody !! Thanks for sharing !!
