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
This was the first song I wrote for my wife. It was written when we were just friends, before we were even dating. Like The Americas, it was performed by Lessick & Lincoln. Unlike The Americas, there is a nice live recording of it online at myspace.com/lessickandlincoln. Mo3 Club rated this a 4.0 out of 5.0....Lots of people were divided over this simple little love song. "A Little Love Ditty has all the makings of simple beautiful acoustic songs that the Beatles and the like wrote- I'll follow The Sun, All I Really Want To Do, Cecilia, Monday Monday, Apple Cider Reconstitution, California Dreamin'... It must be recorded!" "One of my favorites" ""Cute love song, sounds very personal...not sure an audience would connect though-2.0" "Great hook"
Lyrics
Hard day at the life Don't know what to do Go home and kick off your shoe Things sometimes don't seem as they are You don't need to go out to a bar You know who you are You're my twinkling star My heart's never far 'Cause I love you Sit down in your chair And open a book Go to the window And take a good look You can see the stars up in the sky No need to search the answers why You know who you are You're my twinkling star My heart's never far 'Cause I love you I can feel the smile come to your face Though your many dozen miles away And in the sky the sparkle in your eye Makes me know love cannot die You know who you are You're my twinkling star My heart's never far 'Cause I love you You know who you are You're my twinkling star My heart's never far 'Cause I love you
