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.
Fool & Me
Robin Trower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Howl at the moon baby yeah out loud, the fool and me
And oh oh, where ever we go
We keep the spirit free
Oh nobody knows
No one but the fool and me
Two fools dancing on the hands of time, yeah
The fool and me
And oh oh, where ever we go
We keep the spirit free
Oh nobody knows
No one but the fool and me
Running like the wind and laugh at the crowd, the fool and me
Howl at the moon yeah out loud loud, the fool and me
And oh oh where ever we go
We keep the spirit free
Oh nobody knows
No one but the fool and me
The song Fool & Me by Robin Trower is a celebration of freedom and self-expression. The lyrics describe two individuals, the fool and the singer, who have decided to live life on their own terms, unburdened by social norms or expectations. They travel freely, laugh at the crowd, howl at the moon, and dance on the hands of time. The two fools are determined to keep their spirits free no matter where they go, and nobody else can understand or join them in their journey except the fool and the singer.
The lyrics suggest that the fools' way of life may be seen as unconventional or strange by society, but they don't care. They are having fun and enjoying life to the fullest. The song also suggests that this kind of freedom comes at a cost, as nobody else can share their joy but themselves.
The lyrics of Fool & Me can be interpreted in several ways. The song can be seen as a celebration of individuality, a criticism of conformity, or as a call to embrace life fully. Whatever the interpretation, the song remains a classic example of Robin Trower's guitar playing, featuring some of his most memorable riffs and solos.

Traveling that wind and laugh at the crowd, um the fool and me
We move relentlessly and mockingly through life's obstacles, both the insightful and the foolish parts of me

No matter where we wander or how free we feel, our spiritual journey is known only to ourselves, and our inner selves are always the greatest companions on our journey
Stretching on out and feeling fine, the fool and me
Two fools dancing on the hands of time, yeah
The fool and me

Howl at the moon yeah out loud loud, the fool and me
