Perhaps Trower's most famous album is Bridge of Sighs (1974). This album, along with his first (Twice Removed from Yesterday) and third (For Earth Below) solo albums, was produced by his former Procol Harum band mate, organist Matthew Fisher.
Those who favor electric guitarists who can play live what they record in the studio will be very impressed with the "Robin Trower Live" album - especially the cut "Daydream". While often compared to Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower never received the publicity nor same volume of fans.

The lyrics of Robin Trower's song "Another Time, Another Place" contain some phrases that seem to be constructed using his own poetic language. The repeated line "ez 7esh te dkem o d keme gri dil da d sujm wek agri" likely refers to the singer's desire to return to a time and place where they were happier, embodied by the memories of the past. They are haunted by the memories of a lost love and the feeling of being a stranger in the present, which is amplified by the reference to being "min ya butee xo teraaaxn kriii" or a "foreigner in his own land."
The lyrics continue to paint a picture of longing, nostalgia, and emotional pain, as the singer continues to reminisce about memories associated with a specific person. However, there are moments of hope and longing, particularly when the lyrics say "ew jihana to d gel mn nebi baxche tu gula mn teda nebi tktka dle mn tu nebi de chekem ger tu nebi," which indicates that the singer might have hope for a new relationship in the future.

Dry your eyes, wipe away your tears, my precious one
Everyday, some way, somewhere we'll fall
The world must turn, that's why we try to keep movin' on
It's always been that way… that's all.
Now, I'm not sayin' you won't find somethin' to believe in
Even the search can define the truth
But first time impressions can be so deceivin'
When somethin' does you harm, just turn it loose.
And we will meet another time
The sun upon our face
And we will meet another time
Another time, another place.
There will be days when you just want to give it up
But things don't always have to go our way
So take a drink, when they pass you the cup
The bitter can taste so sweet, another day.
And we will meet another time
The sun upon our face
And we will meet another time
Another time, another place.
(* Instrumental *)
So dry your eyes, wipe away your tears, my precious one
And watch as the years go spinin' by
The moments are lost when you hear the sirens song
The spell will break when you hear your first born cry
And we will meet another time
The sun upon our face
And we will meet another time
Another time, another place.

The sun upon our face

When Jimi died, I felt cheated sorta empty inside, Then 5 years later when I heard Bridge of Sighs
I felt as though my spirit was reincarnated , Another Masterpiece of Guitar work ,Been hooked ever since.

When Stevie Ray died I felt cheated. Then I discovered Trower.

When Jimi died I was too young to understand. I was inexperienced. But that all changed one day. And I’ve been digging ever since. Charlie Patton, like Jimi, part Native American.

A fan of the man forever, since I was exposed to his music in 1970's. Guitar and lyrics are second to none, regardless of who is on vocals.

You and me both Tommy C, there has been and only ever will be one man who plays his heart this way..

420TommyC same with me my older brother showed me Robin's music back in the '70's and I've been hooked ever since 👍
pedal4ever
haven't really listened to Trower since James Dewar passed, but just found this song and very impressed with vocalist Davey Pattison. Damn good!

I always play this when someone I know has died. The lyrics are so poignant.
I played it today for that reason.

I hate losing friends; but I love to find ways to honour their memory. This is one!

I'll state the obvious by saying that Bridge of Sighs (entire album) is his masterpiece. From there, I think it really is personal preference - for me, at least, it seemed like there were flashes of brilliance in each album with as many forgettable pieces. I finally got to see him live last year at the House of Blues. He hangs around after the show to meet the fans. You won't meet a more humble gentleman. We laughed when I told him not to hit me for asking him to autograph my $ 200 Epiphone.
