Masterpiece. I've been playing for ten years and i can't get over how Clapton, and musicians like him, can make such beautiful songs, with so much feeling, out of the most simplest chord progressions. It's amazing.
Everyone can learn to play those chords, scales and learn the theory and with enough practice - the technique. What you can't learn is the feel and the groove. And that is what it is all about.
What a legendary voice and guitarist eris clapton your music is medicine to the heart, I always listen to your music anytime, anywhere , m so glad I found you, born in 1997! Love from India 🇮🇳
Love can mend your life But love can break your heart... pickin up the pieces with music... I love that song,it always makes me cry cause it is so pureand true Thank you EC and Robert Cray🔝
Good old slowhand Eric,i can proudly say i've met him and shook his hand.Yes me that little guy from Palermo Sicily ,you made my day,i was having a really bad Sunday morning down the Kings road,London.Then meeting my hero lifted my spirit up.thank you.
This Song Has a Special Place in My Heart..I Was Dating a Girl When This Masterpiece Came Out , And She Knew How Much I Loved it..She Died in a Car Crash..At Her Funeral I Went Across The Street To Buy Flowers and The Song Came on The Radio in The Store..Guess !!! it Was Her Way To Say Goodbye !!!..RIP Sara !!!
A cello master performed this song and since I hadn't heard it before, I wanted to hear who wrote it. Put both of them together . . . Masterpiece ✨❤ Thank you
i love eric clapton so much .. i mean i m a blues addict .. and he s the one who colonised my heart since 30 years.. jimi hendrix ok time to time but you re noizy sorry?? eric is like wow = guitar solos beautifully linked and the phrasing and the licks and the emotions and the power
i listen to this song since i'm 13 years old and nod 40 years old and still love the guitar solo alla along the song and clapton' s voice is incredible ! he' s my favourite guitarist and i listened to all of them buddy guy, freddy king, hendrix, stevie rai vaugh, santana, mark knofler...eric is sooo unique
There is something exceptional in him that makes me consider him above others. Not in terms of technique of playing, although he would be able to play almost anything. Just a combination of an unique style along with soothing voice make him undeniably second to none.
It''s a Saturday night. It's 1 am in the morning and Imagine this song is playing and a bottle of whiskey by your side to give you company. Reminiscing the 'past'- those both good and bad memories. Longing of the old love's body !
Thanks for posting. A remarkable song from the finest guitarist I've ever seen live. Top 5 guitarists I've seen: 1) Clapton; 2) Stevie Ray Vaughan; 3) Kenny Wayne Shepherd; 4) Walter Trout; 5) David Gilmore
I can feel your body When I'm lying in bed There's too much confusion Going around through my head And it makes me so angry To know that the flame still burns Why can't I get over? When will I ever learn? Old love, leave me alone Old love, go on home I can see your face But I know that it's not real It's just an illusion Caused by how I used to feel And it makes me so angry To know that the flame will always burn I'll never get over I know now that I'll never learn Old love, leave me alone Old love, go on home
You people know robert cray is playing most of the leads on this song. They play a nice duet a the bridge and the end of the song. They co-wrote this song together.
Thanks for posting this Michael20397! I had never heard this original version before, except when Cray and Clapton performed it live on Nightmusic. Anyways, this original HQ recording is beyond sweet!
Wasn't into Clapton growing up. This song was the one that 1st got my attention. First heard it on an episode of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman of all things.
whats not to love about this man? Ive loved him since I was 11 yrs old and hes still my favorite today. God Bless you and those you love Mr. Clapton. You have brought some of the worlds most beautiful music to us all. I love you and may you forever be with us. Rhonda
Maybe the song helps but it doesn’t take away the pain & heartbreak 💔 Wanting & longing for that “one” I had mine now he’s gone forever 😢💔 we loved listening to the blues 🎶
Lo triste de estos artistas es que se enamoran muchas veces, tienen musas que los llenan de creatividad... Pero sus amores son efímeros ... Nunca duran mucho tiempo.. ..no soportan el peso de los años..son siempre estrellas fugaces en sus vidas.. . Siempre aparece una musa mas joven....pero quedan los recuerdos eternos en una canción.
que sensacion de melancolia por lo que pudo ser y no fue, que sensacion de algo que quedo encendido en algun rincon del corazon, sin lugar a duda una hermosa cancion, que enciende mis recuerdos y arrebata mi vida
![Eric Clapton - Layla (Acoustic Version) [Lyrics on screen]](/img/1.gif)
Doesn't get any better than that... Clapton at his finest. Down and dirty. Everything that blues is, right here in this song.
Love it...
He's coming on 50 years of playing, he's given us so many great songs like this one, Thank you Eric !!!

Best to ever hold a guitar and my ears are blessed to have listened for so many years 🙏🏻
Stunning duet between Mr Clapton and Mr. Cray. Masterpiece.
Cray is god
@@paulpeace1049 Robert Cray has one of the best and most distinctive clean tones of all time.
When you talk about this song, you should never talk about anything other than Eric Clapton.
Cray plays most of the leads on this song, he also co-wrote this song with clapton
One of my personal favorites. Love the guitar solo.
same here dear
I love the great blues guitar of Robert Cray!
How good is this! Who hasn't got an old love?
A cello master performed this song and since I hadn't heard it before, I wanted to hear who wrote it. Put both of them together . . . Masterpiece ✨❤
Thank you
There was a time when I had a love that died hard. This song was the soundtrack of my life.
Me too
Best Clapton' song, no doubt!
Legend of this era. Wonderful track. Beautiful balance of lyrics and guitar.
Hello
the 'slowhand' guitar god...Happy birthday Eric Clapton... may you play forever Eric..
forever man
i love eric clapton so much .. i mean i m a blues addict .. and he s the one who colonised my heart since 30 years.. jimi hendrix ok time to time but you re noizy sorry?? eric is like wow = guitar solos beautifully linked and the phrasing and the licks and the emotions and the power

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
There is something exceptional in him that makes me consider him above others. Not in terms of technique of playing, although he would be able to play almost anything. Just a combination of an unique style along with soothing voice make him undeniably second to none.
His technique is uniquely from his soul. His amazing lead guitar phrasings are second to none.
not every thing is about being able to shred there are technicians and then there are the souls who use their instruments.
simply beautiful..brings tears to me eyes..touches my heart and soul..my favorite from Eric Clapton
Hello
Where do you live.?
Pa. And you

Only it’s 1:46 am and I hear the guitar solo and tears start coming down my eyes!!
Thank you for this nice song ... I feel relaxed and desirable .. thank you Erik!

LOL... BLESS YOU !?!??! XX ya gotta lotta...catchin up to do. xx EEENJOOOY !! ;)
I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home

Such a cool midnight rock!!
Stefan Hohmann literally 12:10 at night when I stumbled along this comment
THIS SONG EATS YOUR HEART OUT !!!!FANTASTICO...GRACIAS MICHAEL 20937..
Great guitar work. Some parts remind me of the great Dwayne Allman..
Eric admired Duane in real life.
Outstanding!
this may be one of my fav songs from the God himself
You people know robert cray is playing most of the leads on this song. They play a nice duet a the bridge and the end of the song. They co-wrote this song together.
Love this 🎶🎶🎶
Very nice, from Romania.
What a brilliant tune Mr slow hand him self

Love,love this song :-) Eric shure could play that guitar.Really sweet.
Pure blues!
My new favorite song! Yesssss indeed!
Nice. One of my very very favorites. I hear his heart beat in that guitar.
It's so weird how such beautiful songs can be crafted by such brutal men.
Fantastic music for ever.
Wow...few years ago this used to be boring to me, but now when I understand each line, now blues is the only cure...
Brother, please do join the club! Never too late to recognise what genius means. Mr Clapton surely is a genius as far as music is concerned
HELLO my brother, shouting out from front porch swing jammin to CLAPTON & COMPANY. Texas loves CLAPTON
Saw Eric in Albuquerque, N.M. when this song was released on the Journey Man Album & Tour 1989 - 1990. Great show, with Nathan East on bass.
Eric wrote this song with Robert Cray....it appeared on a late nite show called Night Music back in '88 or 89 with David Sandborn
Beautiful you should have put Robert Cray’s picture on the first solo
One of E C's best songs....
best cure for people who have still heartache: TIME
So true...
Wish it was true.
finding this song did the job for me
I agree...
Same here.. @Anastasia P
Acustic version is so intime and dramatic! But this is agresive! Both love it !!!
Best tone since the Cream days........... He is just a master. Period
Amen. Every time I get the chance to listen to this song I cry. Perfect
Love it!
Eric Clapton you are awesome...
An Old love really needs to go on home....no time to entertain what deserves to be in the past
Wasn't into Clapton growing up. This song was the one that 1st got my attention. First heard it on an episode of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman of all things.
Love,love,love this song!!!
Wooow Love you, Eric Clapton ❤❤❤
Eric has my respect ! I love it

My heart and soul are so broken, but I hope she and I find some kind of happiness, even if it's us! Love forever ❣️

Zorla ustume kaldın resmen! Bari bi hayrını gorseydim! Onursuz!
He's preaching
This song almost sounds like Robert Cray. I LOVE Robert Cray!
Robert Cray is behind this song originally! He played second guitar here! 😊
Maybe the song helps but it doesn’t take away the pain & heartbreak 💔
Wanting & longing for that “one”
I had mine now he’s gone forever 😢💔 we loved listening to the blues 🎶
I know this because of a Lois and Clark song from that show. They play it when Lois and Clark are obsessing about each other in their thoughts
That's what brought me here. Haven't heard this song in a very long time.
Ajai Kudari i love the serie!!!
here's the same! and it thrills me...
Eric Clapton the gawwwwd
Album listed above is incorrect. This was on Journeyman. Co-written with Robert Cray.
My Top 5 1.(Eric Clapton) 2.(Carlos Santana) 3.(Mark Knopfler) 4.(Robert Cray)
5.(Keith Richards)
Oh uncle Eric Master of Blues :)
Questo pezzo è di una bellezza immensa !
Lo triste de estos artistas es que se enamoran muchas veces, tienen musas que los llenan de creatividad... Pero sus amores son efímeros ... Nunca duran mucho tiempo.. ..no soportan el peso de los años..son siempre estrellas fugaces en sus vidas.. . Siempre aparece una musa mas joven....pero quedan los recuerdos eternos en una canción.
I love this song.
Ok I am sooo late to this party. This is the first time I'm hearing this song.
I'm wondering if Eric is SCORPIO?!?!
HIS MUSIC SPEAKS 2MY SOUL...
HE IS HISTORY FROM CREAM TO ETERNITY.....thank you ...SLOW HAND….

Heart melter.
5:24 ...that's a nice Phill , Collins!
que sensacion de melancolia por lo que pudo ser y no fue, que sensacion de algo que quedo encendido en algun rincon del corazon, sin lugar a duda una hermosa cancion, que enciende mis recuerdos y arrebata mi vida
