Stroll on
The Yardbirds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strollin' on
'Cause it's all gone
The reason why
You made me cry

By tellin' me
You didn't see
The future bore

Our love no more

If you want to know
I love you so
And I don't want to let you go
I'm strollin' on

Gonna make you see
I'm strollin' on
You'll find you really love me
I'm strollin' on

Be your turn to cry
I'm strollin' on
You wish you'd never lied
You're going to change your mind

But you ain't gonna find
Any more of my kind
I'm strollin' on
'Cause it's all gone

The reason why
You made me cry
By tellin' me
You didn't see

The future bore
Our lovin' no more
If you want to know
I love you so

I don't want to let you go
I'm strollin' on
Gonna make you see
I'm strollin' on

You'll find you really love me
I'm strollin' on
Be your turn to cry
I'm strollin' on

You wish you'd never lied
You're going to change your mind
But you ain't gonna find

Overall Meaning

The Yardbirds’ song “Stroll On” tells the story of a relationship that has fallen apart due to the man’s foolishness. The lyrics are straightforward and sad, discussing how the woman has been hurt and how the man is trying to win her back. He is walking away from her, but he knows he cannot let her go, and he hopes that she will come to realize how much she loves him. He is confident that he can make her love him again, and that is what drives him on. As the song progresses, he becomes more passionate and assertive, reflecting his increasing desperation to regain his lost love.

The song’s lyrics are straightforward, which can make them seem superficial, but the way they convey the emotion of heartbreak and the longing to win someone back is powerful. The musical accompaniment is also memorable, with its strong rhythm, driving guitar chords, and catchy melody. The song’s simplicity and upbeat tempo contrast with the melancholy of the lyrics, creating a bittersweet tone that captures the pain of lost love.

i remember seeing this in the movie "Blow Up" when i was a little kid, sick home from school, and cable TV had just come to the area where i grew up. i knew who the Yardbirds were already cos their hits were still on the radio (this was like 1981~2), but when this part of the movie came on the TV screen, i got up off the couch and started jumping around like crazy. when i saw their name in the closing credits, i was pleasantly shocked. i then went through the cable TV guide to make sure i didnt miss any other showings of it on Cinemax that month. at one point i put my portable cassette recorder up to the TV speaker so i could blast this on my dads stereo when no one else was home. hearing this uninterrupted for the first time here, its still hitting me hard at the age of 53; just a couple months shy of 54!! looks like ill have to be tracking down an official release of this song somewhere. this effing SMOKES!!!

I'm convinced this is the first heavy metal song ever recorded. The amp distortion, palm muted riff attack, and drumming to adapt to this version of the song are the key elements that elevate this song from raging garage rock to genuine heavy metal. The tone is heavier than Toni Iommi and his Laneys recorded 3 years later. There are moments in the opening riff at 23 seconds in before the singing starts that could almost be mistaken for mesa-boogie Hetfield rhythm crunch.

@epitaph3988

@@boxing4d It's clear that you not only know nothing about guitar amplifiers but you also know nothing about mixing/engineering and how it can impact a recording. Because if you did you would realize that there is not very much distortion on these guitars beyond what would be called a "light overdrive" today, and it very clearly has noticeably less gain than Tony Iommi's guitar tone. I guarantee that if you took whatever amp they're using in this recording and recorded it with modern equipment it wouldn't sound heavy at all. So perhaps you should take your own advice and quit being such a pompous asshat.

My only complaint about this song is that it's only two minutes and forty six seconds!

@danielkroha5440

UNREAL when you realize that 2 of the most innovative Guitarists were in SAME Band.. & for good measure Clapton was in this Band at one time!!

MAKE NO MISTAKE....the foundation for heavy metal starts with The Yardbirds. People go on about how "You Really Got Me" is the first metal song, but The Kinks didn't follow up with that sound. The Yardbirds were the first band to play real heavy blues rock. They're really the first band you can headbang to!

Saying that "You Really Got Me" is a Metal song is just beyond ridiculous like seriously....and the first true Metal band was Black Sabbath...nuff said. They truly laid down the blueprint for Metal, while Judas Priest reinvented the sound of Heavy Metal by adding their own elements.

@matthatter2849

Yeah, Sabbath was the first TRUE metal band (even though it was just called "heavy rock" at the time). I always say when it comes to the house of metal, Zeppelin may have built the top floor but Sabbath put the roof on.

@mauimig380

I agree. Lot people talk about how You Really Got Me was the "first" heavy song. But this out heavy's that song by a ton of weight. This is the prototype directions handbook for metal. Crushes it here

@metalheadgamer80

Maui Mig, No, You Really Got Me was Hard Rock, and it was one of the first of it's kind. Stoll On is Garage Rock.

It’s funny how there are more photos of this lineup than there were songs or concert dates. Is it possible that they hadn’t surfaced until after Zeppelin’s boundless popularity or Beck’s growing reputation as a post-Hendrix guitar deity?
