He was born in Woodlake, California and raised in Ukiah. He taught himself guitar when he was 13 and considered his first influence to be Mike Bloomfield. At 18 he moved to San Francisco to form the Charles Ford Blues Band (named after his father, who was also a guitarist) featuring his brothers Mark (mouth harp) and Patrick (drums).
Robben was soon hired to play with Charles Musselwhite for nine months. Robben Ford played with Jimmy Witherspoon (1972-1973), the L.A. Express with Tom Scott (1974), George Harrison and Joni Mitchell. In 1977 he was a founding member of the Yellowjackets, which he stayed with until 1983, simultaneously having a solo career and working as a session guitarist.
In 1986, Ford toured with Miles Davis and he had two separate periods (1985 and 1987) with Sadao Watanabe, but he seemed to really find himself in 1992 when he returned to his roots: the blues. Ford formed a new group, the Blue Line, and subsequently recorded a couple of blues-rock dates for Stretch that are among the finest of his career. In 1999, he released Sunrise on Rhino and Supernatural on Blue Thumb. Ford signed to the Concord Jazz label in 2002 and released Blue Moon that same year, followed by Keep on Running in 2003 and Truth in 2007. Robben Ford whilst continuing to record solo albums has been touring in 2007 with guitar legend Larry Carlton.
My Everything
Robben Ford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could love the moon and the rain
Shining on my pillow
Quenching the thirst inside of me
We've been drawn so close together
And you've shown my heart had to sing
And I could give you my everything
Love is mystery
It'll break all the rules
One day you've got the world in your pocket
And the next is somebody's fool
Standing on the edge of a promise
You might feel uncertainty
I could give you my everything
? running through my veins
When I touch your hand that's enough for me
I don't need to think it out
There's no place I rather be
I love you endlessly
I could love the moon and the rain
Shining on my pillow
Quenching the thirst inside of me
We've been drawn so close together
And you've shown my heart had to sing
And I could give you my everything
I could give you my everything
