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.

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 "The Fool and Me" by Robin Trower is a song about freedom, individuality, and being comfortable in one's own skin. The lyrics describe the singer's journey with a companion who accepts him for who he is and who shares his spirit of adventure and rebellion. They are both "fools" in society's eyes, but they don't care because they have each other and their own brand of freedom. They travel against the wind and laugh at the crowd, howl at the moon, and stretch out on their own terms. They dance through time feeling fine, and keep their spirits free no matter where they go. The world may not understand them, but they understand each other, and nobody knows them like the fool and me.
Overall, this song expresses a sentiment of defiance and individuality. The singer and his companion are not afraid to go against the grain and be themselves, even if others mock them for it. They find joy and meaning in their own way of life, and they pursue it with passion and enthusiasm. The song encourages listeners to embrace their uniqueness and not let societal expectations hold them back.
