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
Lessick & Lincoln did a pretty version with nice harmonies. This quick first-take solo version is not too pretty but still has the creepy mood. Mp3 club listeners gave this an average rating of 4.0...Comments included: "This take doesn't do this song justice" "I liked this a lot. Sure is a different time (of year) from now, but the song sent me to that time. Arrangement is a little monotonous. Maybe it just needs variation in instrumentation."
Lyrics
November winds sing creepy hymns Take the last leaf to the ground, the cold ground Whistling ghosts through their chilled throats Laughing as the world is turning brown Want answers don't look to the sky Dirt below your feet it tells no lies But turn your eyes up from the ground Soon the snowflakes floating down Piles of the dead Crumpled to be fed Soon to be food for the new born The newborn Their time is done No longer strong Everything you once knew Now is gone Want answers don't look to the sky Dirt below your feet it tells no lie But turn your eyes up from the ground Soon the snowflakes turning 'round
