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.
I'm Out To Get You
Robin Trower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Create a disturbance in your mind
I've been sent to select you
From another place in time
It's gonna be something new, new
And you better not hesitate
For the first time in your life
You can celebrate
Close your eyes, count to ten
Make a wish and we'll be there
Turn around, and maybe then
Your whole life can start again
So the world keeps on turning
Through the years that lie ahead
From it's pages we're learning
By it's wisdom we are led
It's gonna be something good
You should understand
So it was, and so it is
Since time began
Close your eyes, count to ten
Make a wish, and we'll be there
Turn around, and maybe then
Your whole life can start again
The lyrics of Robin Trower and Jeff Beck's song M evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. The singer declares that he is "out to get you" and will "create a disturbance in your mind." The use of the word "disturbance" suggests that the disruption may not necessarily be a negative one, but rather one that will challenge the listener to think differently. The singer then explains that he has been "sent to select you from another place in time," further adding to the mystique of the song.
However, the tone of the song changes with the lines "It's gonna be something new, new / And you better not hesitate / For the first time in your life / You can celebrate." These lyrics suggest that whatever the singer has planned will be a positive experience for the listener, and they should not hesitate to embrace it. The use of the word "celebrate" in particular reinforces the idea that something special is about to happen.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to "close your eyes, count to ten / Make a wish and we'll be there / Turn around, and maybe then / Your whole life can start again." These lines suggest that the singer is offering the listener an opportunity for a fresh start, and they must simply trust him and make a wish for a better life. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer reminding the listener that "it's gonna be something good / You should understand / So it was, and so it is / Since time began."
