Artist picture
Tom Paxton meets Jefferson Airplane. Extremely prolific singer songwriter with a wide range of styles from bizarre novelty tunes and surrealistic poetic songs t
With more than 300 songs and counting and for more than 30 years, I have written in a variety of acoustic styles from novelty tunes to love songs to historical ballads to poetic surrealistic songs to retro-acoustic pop. From bizarre to traditional from funny to poignant, whatever style the song is in, the melodies are usually memorable and the lyrics unpredictable. This site will eventually contain rough often first take demos of my entire song catalogue. Many of the earliest songs when I first started writing will of course be shaky. So expect the songs to get better as time goes on. Feel free to come back and browse often as I will constantly be adding songs, one by one in chronological order, starting in 1974. If you are looking for some unusual songs to cover from a little known but unique artist, you have come to the right place. Just e-mail me. If you find a song here that intrigues you, but you don't like a line or two, or you think it needs a bridge, drop me an e-mail and maybe you can earn writer's credit if it gets that song to be recorded or performed.... otherwise just enjoy. You can become a Rob Lincoln fan at no cost to you. I promise that if you keep coming back there will be some real surprises along the way. While mostly acoustic, some original material will veer into folk rock and even 60's pop, but the garage rock and loudest material will also be found in full band arrangement at soundclick.com/abrasiveflowers Eventually some of these 300+ tunes may be rerecorded and make it on to CD, including a novelty CD that would be suitable for Dr. Demento or an historical ballad CD or a political song CD--but until then, this is the only site you can hear most of these songs. (A few of my songs CAN be found on songramp.com/RobLincoln and myspace.com/lessickandlincoln)

Story behind the song
I think I must of thought I was in love the day I wrote this. Or at least imagined what it would feel like. At this point I do not remember what I was thinking when I wrote the lyrics. I was 18 years old. I figure I wanted the music to be country, but the song probably works better if a bubble gum 60's sunshine pop singer sung it to some teeny boppers. Dig the 4 part harmony at the end of the song. Mp3 club average listener rating:2.5..... Some listener comments were: "The song had a real pop feel, liked some of the lines alot 'like can you feel my heart beat skip along the green green path'," "Loved the trippy harmonies" "need a different lead vocal approach" "it ain't country. More like that late 60's folky/poppy thingy."
Lyrics
Now I've been thinking that my minds never been so well And I'm not minding as much more suits me well For I was kinda dying in my own sweet little hell Till I felt your lovin' miscast me right out of that spell And a sunny day never felt like this before And I'm far away from where I've been just a day before Sweet spring breeze reminds me of your soft caress Brings back your smile and melts away all of yesterday's stress I didn't have no idea that you thought of me that way Lets take it slow for every day's a brand new day Don't go so fast now lets enjoy the golden ray Walk by the old stream watch a flower grow our way And a sunny day.... Can you feel my heartbeat skip along the green green path? I tell you somehow I can't believe it's a gonna last But I don't care now everything will come to pass Right now at this moment I'm drinking from the silver cup at last And a sunny day....
