Procol Harum - Song For A Dreamer Lyrics

Reminds me a little like Fleetwood Mac “Albatross”

50 ans après PROCOL HARUM CONTINUE SONT ENCHANTEMENT
LE PANTHEON DE NOS MEMOIRE EST PRES A KES ACCUEILLIR, SI CE N'EST DEJA FAIT

fuckin tripping music

Lovely Robin. I am sure Jimi is smiling, until you meet again.✌👣👣👣

What a great track.

Not just a fitting tribute for Hendrix but a fitting farewell for Trower. This wound up being the last album he would play on until the reunion in 1991.

yep...obvious. copy..Jimi Hendrix 1983 Merman wish to be....but it is beautiful

Just amazing..every damn time hits a new spot in the soul :)

Relax and enjoy this masterpiece.

Hendricks tribute, that got Trower into the sound we all love!

Some respectfully say/text 'Hendrix'. Just a thought. R x

Has a little bit of the Adam Heart Mother feel from Pink Floyd around 1970 or 71'

Adam Heart Mother?

Very similar to Moonlight Mile from the Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers which was released a couple months after Procol Harum's Broken Barricades.

QUE OBSCURA!

Sounds Like the Prelude To Trowers Long Misty Days Very Nice in a trippy kind of way.

Amazing, very trippy.

trippin balls!!

How can anyone not love this..very soothing

Preferable to Pink Floyd's psychedelic stuff in my opinion. The second half in particular works really well for me.

Your opinion sucks man. There is no either/or, there is two amazing bands to be enjoyed. No comparison, just enjoyment.

@Martin Castellon  Muddled thinking, leading to unclear message.  But for your information, your own opinion sucks. 

¿Qué tiene que ver Pink Floyd? ¡Déjese de tonterías!

They are not in competition! Such a sentiment is meaningless; both PH and PF produced outstanding, enduring and idiomatically English music.

You can really hear Robin coming into his own sound on this tune...

gran rendición, guitarrista y compositor de gama alta; sin desbordes innecesarios, sólo sensibilidad y buen gusto.

loving this song every time..passion and feelings just start to explode inside <3

Trower & Keith wrote this song as a tribute to Hendrix .Trower saw Hendrix play once, and it was, coincidently, the last time Hendrix played, ever again.

Really, are you sure of that? I was a Jimi & Robin Trower fan and still am. Just would like to know how you know this, not getting smart assed.

Please look up Jimi's last gig, in Berlin. Love to you and yours. Rab x

There’s an interview with robin where he says he was at Jimis last gig in Berlin. It’s the Texas 1985 interview I believe. It’s on YouTube

Patrick Michels Jimis last gig was Isle of Fermahn not Berlin

For a song this old you sure do hear Robin's signature sound shine through though he was still perfecting it. And it's fitting that it is a tribute to Jimi as it has that Hendrixes que sound that reminds me of the psychedelic stuff like 3rd Stone from the sun from the first Experience album. Love Trower's dreamy spacey stuff. It puts me in a trance....

I love Hendrix but to be honest Hendrix has nothing on Robin Trower. The fact of the matter is that very few can hold a candle to Trower. IMO

Top tune.

Never Heard this, Really beautyful !!!

illuminate. Just it!

Grande présence de Robin Trower sur Broken Barricades. Cela n'a pas suffit pour le conserver dans le groupe.

Marvellous song from an inspired Robin Trower and great drums of B.J. Wilson, RIP

Broken barricades was such a great release

Beyond a doubt one of their BEST!

@Bryan A. what a great haunting song , the reality is that procol harum, ( I pray that I am wrong) will never make the rock hall of fame. Look how long it took the moody blues to get in. Procol should be in .

It was Trowers tribute to Hendrix. Beautiful!

OK OK OK .......

GREAT song

compared to syd both of them are nothing .
such darkness in so few words its unreal.

your so right-not to die but to be reborn

Amazing!!!

Delightfully Haunting

Song for Hendrix!!

...while we breathe

good song!

Waterfall

what a band! b. j. wilson - robin trower - matthew fisher - gary brooker
wish they'd make a few albums more

I give up I find it on you tube as Spellbound and Daydream...My copy of the album is not readily available...doesn't matter, look it up regardless

Correction the song I was thinking of is called "Spellbound", Daydream is one of the lyrics.

Daydream on his first solo album is more of a eulogy to Hendrix. This one, according to an interview I saw was an immediate reaction to Hendrix's passing.

Daydream's predecessor. What an awesome track. I was ignorant of it until tonight....

Close your eyes, lights off, off your monitor and lisen to this music to the end... then you will understand it already...

What a great band 'twas....

our friend the A-rab will guide us!

damn the bad luck

Nothing like that Stoner rock-supernalone.

Thank you for posting this.

i never sleep again!!!!!!!!

Never heard this before

que extraordinario, Procol Harum quizás la mejor banda de rock progresivo y que produjo uno de los mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos, RT y sin embargo jamas estuvieron en los charts despues de "una blanca palidez" ¿donde tiene el gusto la gente?

I am a dreamer and it's a powerful dream

Where can I put a brick?

First time I've heard it! Pink Floyd ripped this off, as well as 'Crime of the Century'

@TheBitterSweetgr trolling again

love this . guess ya had to be there

@sauerkraut44 You seem to know me better than I do....If you say,so then you probably know something about me and the music I like listening to.....thank you

amazing....

Great song, great time for this band. Who cares who does or does not appreciate.

Once again Robin is not in the Procol mood....it's like this incoherent track came straight off one of his personal albums....absolutely nothing to do with the masterpieces of this HOLY band...no wonder he left...he just didn't fit...and anyway what does Hendrix have to do with Reid,Brooker,Fisher,Wilson and the Procol legacy?????

Didn't even know this track existed....and I'm in love with them for ages!!!!!!!

the lyrics are lame, the music is great

Not sure this needs to a become a "battle of the bands" discussion.....its just a damn good song.

Robin says so in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPrtfaCbHHw&t=254s

out floyd floyd?
i prefer to view it as out fripping fripp because it sounds more like king crimson than pink floyd.
syd barrett gets all my love.

I agree avrillo - this, and "in held in twas I" (?). Great words by the genius poet Keith Reid - the bespectacled one on cover of Broken Barricades - and Trower is way over the top here. What an under appreciated, under awarded guitarist he is. Saw him in Denver at a small venue - he played Bridge of sighs all the way through, stopped, asked if we wanted more then played for 2 1/2 more hours! Wow. Peace

robin trowers finest hour

I believe they out-floyd Pink Floyd here....

@thatwilldonicely What are you talking about???

Beautiful! I haven't heard this since HS. Wow, it brings back the memories.

I haven't heard this piece since HS. 35 yrs to be exact. Thank you for post this...

@thatwilldonicely Are you saying it isn't possible? What you might not understand is that we don't know everything there is to know.

@thatwilldonicely Legends are based upon facts. What I believe is that there IS a creator, but our "gods" are nothing more than some ancients who traveled here from some other world(s). Think of it this way: If we EVER get past the stupid religious and political power pigs, we someday will be looked upon as "gods" from another world on some other planet(s). Thinking ahead can reveal the past. Everything flows thru time. We aren't the only world with "people."

Damn I havent heard this tune in ages. when I listen to it, I can smell the leather interior of my Challenger laced with weed, sun filled day, arm out the window driving with a car load of friends heading for nowhere and everywhere. 0h to be young and indestructible again. Thank God for the Marines. LOL

one of the trippiest sanguine songs ever recorded...bar-none...Procol Harum remains...

I have often wondered what IS on the other side of the moon? Secrets? Why IS it that islam is afraid of when we landed on the moon? Just sayin' Might be: Our ancient past may have been that one time, was much more advanced than we are now, and that, due to some war or disaster, that we are only now catching up. Never say you know it all. The realities may astound you. Eh? Re: Atlantis. Lemuria. "The more I know, the more I know, that I don't know."

I found Robin Trower by accident in a bargain bin in the mid seventies and everytime I listen to him he gets better and to see him live is the best. A great era for blues/rock guitarists)))))))))

I can't get tired of this music. I play it over and over, and unlike most other music, can't get enough of it.

this is not Procol Harum but Robin Trower former guitar player. nice riffs though.

Song for my friend Eugene Really he was a dreamer

awesome compozition

Who does the vocal? Definately NOT Gary Brooker methinks, did Robin Trower sing???

This is probably the most beautiful song that Trower wrote when he was a member of the legendary Procol Harum. And yes, it is a tribute to Jimy Hendrix. 5 Stars of course!
