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.
If You Really Want to Find Love
Robin Trower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is your life just a stolen dream
Full of things that will not last
Is your mind now a constant stream
A broken fragment form the past
Why don't you try to break a way
If you really want to find love
Take it from t he start
If you really want to find love
Look into your own heart
Possessions are a wasted love
Giving no love in return.
To spend your life trying to earn enough
Proves that you have much to learn.
Nobody else is keeping score
No one is keeping score
Oh no
If you really want to find love
Take it from the start
If you really want to find love
Look into your own heart
Why don't you try to break away
Why don't you break away
If you really want to find love
Take it from the start
If you really want to find love
Look into your own heart
If you really want to find love
Take it from the start
If you really want to find love
Look into your own heart
Robin Trower's "If You Really Want to Find Love" is a song about the search for love and fulfillment in life. The opening lines suggest that the "life" we are living may not be what we had hoped or planned for, with the lyrics "Is your life just a stolen dream / Full of things that will not last." It seems that the singer is questioning whether the things they have been pursuing have been worth it, given that they don't seem to provide the satisfaction or happiness they expected.
The song encourages the listener to break away and find real meaning and purpose in life. Trower sings, "Why don't you try to break a way / Why don't you break away?" This is a call to action, emphasizing the importance of taking risks and making changes in order to find love and happiness. The chorus repeats the message, with the lyrics "If you really want to find love / Take it from the start / If you really want to find love / Look into your own heart."
The bridge highlights the futility of pursuing material possessions as a means of finding love, with the lyrics "Possessions are a wasted love / Giving no love in return. / To spend your life trying to earn enough / Proves that you have much to learn." The singer suggests that true love and fulfillment can only be found within oneself, rather than through external factors like wealth or status.
Overall, "If You Really Want to Find Love" encourages listeners to stop chasing after superficial things and instead focus on finding happiness and fulfillment within themselves.
