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.
Little Misty Days
Robin Trower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Told me they would change their ways
Once in a while will come my way
The thrill is gone
Misty days linger on and on
Once in a while is here to stay
Lovers in a nursery rhyme
The words belong to you
And the melody was mine
Long misty days
Told me in a million ways
Once in a while will come my way
Oh how the moon
Shining at a lonely room
Weeping willow cry for me
Sing me a song
Simple as the day is long
I love someone crying to be free
And take the sky
And tell me if the moon is blue
And if it's meant to be
That my melody was used
Long misty days
Told me in a million ways
Once in a while will come my way
Long misty days
Told me they would change the ways
Once in a while is here to stay
The lyrics of Robin Trower's "Little Misty Days" reflect a bittersweet nostalgia for a past love. The first verse refers to "long misty days" that promised to change their ways, but never did. Trower seems resigned to this fact, acknowledging that "once in a while will come my way," but the "thrill is gone" and the "misty days linger on and on." This sense of longing is reinforced in the second verse, where Trower references a "lonely room" and a weeping willow, seeking comfort in a simple song that speaks to the pain of unrequited love.

The memories come flooding back as soon as this song begins. A young life lived at a much slower pace. When you wanted to talk to a friend, you went and knocked on their door and telephones were on the kitchen wall were they belonged. Smoked cheap weed, went to lots of great concerts and the friends I had then are the best I will ever have in my lifetime. Life was grand. Then life interrupted my youth. Oh, those were the days my friends.

Beautiful I was a kid in the 70's my concert going did not happen until the 80's but I got to observe my brothers doing just what you said they saw everybody Zep, Hendrix, Edgar winter the Who envious I did get to see the Who in the 80's that was pretty awesome and of course most importanty I have has seen Robin several times in the last couple decades. There will never be another James Dewar Davy Patternson was good and the new kid he had on bass a tour or to ago was fantastic but to see him with James Dewar would have been awesome
