Eric Clapton released a new single entitled “Pompous Fool” from Bushbranch/Surfdog Records. The song was written by Clapton and Robin Monotti, produced by Clapton and his longtime producing partner Simon Climie, and is performed by Clapton on lead vocals and guitar, Sonny Emory on drums, Nathan East on bass, Paul Carrack on hammond organ, Walt Richmond on piano and keyboards, and Sharon White on background vocals.
The album artwork comes from a set of Tarot cards made by Martin Sharp in 1967, altered to create the cover art. Sharp was a roommate of Clapton’s and created the cover art for Cream’s
“Disraeli Gears” and co-wrote “Tale of Brave Ulysses.”

LYRICS:
Don’t you worry
Don’t be blue
Let your woman
Take care of you
Live your life
By the golden rule
Pay no mind
To the pompous fool
Do you wanna dance
Do you wanna sing
Do you still believe
That Jerry Lee was king?
Is it your opinion
That Charlie Wilson’s cool
Pay no mind
To the pompous fool
In life you know
May I say to you
Be careful who you follow
There may be no more tomorrow
If you follow the pompous fool
So don’t you worry
Don’t be blue
Let your woman
Take care of you
Do your thing
By the golden rule
Pay no mind
To the pompous fool
In life you know
May I say to you
Be careful who you follow
There ain't nobody home
Fear knocking on the door
In the mind of the pompous fool
Do you wanna laugh
Do you wanna cry
Do you still believe
In you and I
Is it your opinion
That we should start again
And turn the volume
Down from number 10
Don’t you worry
Don’t be blue
Let your woman
Take care of you
Live your life
By the golden rule
Pay no mind
To the pompous fool
It' s not only about this one guy from England because we have pompous fools all around the world. Mr. Clapton you are so right with the lyrics and you are my guitar player number one for more than 40 years.
Thank you Mr Clapton!!
Just love Mr. Clapton. The world is a better place with him in it.
I'll leave an obvious comment on the record: Eric is great.....
A monumental work, complete musician, exceptional guitarist...
😊💜☮️🎼🎸🙏🌈
Thanks Eric!!! We love you!!
I started play guitar about 10 years ago,you n your music was the reason. Your live videos are masterclass. You always be my guitar hero. Thanks legend.
I'm almost 58 now. Eric "Slowhand" Clapton guided me since I was 16, through an incredible journey of rock, blues and ballads. That made me take drums lessons at 50, as I knew I don't have such a talent for a guitar. Now I'm part of a band of youngsters and always amazed to see how they meticulously play. Thank you, Eric, for all those years of music - you enlighted my life.
Good for you! I'm 67 and still rockin' with the truth and youth, in love!
Thank you Eric. This song is Perfect for the world now. Wonderful,,,thanks
Eric thank you for standing with us , now is the time to see who's who , and you are as real as you music is , love you.!
Wonderful!! Thank you Mr Clapton!!!
Eric is my God😻Thank you so much Eric😺😽from East Japan🍵🎐I'm glad you can play guitar again🎸😺please be careful of heat stroke🙏
Keep singing, Eric!You still sound good after all these years! Keep it up! May God be with you!
Sorry but he is god!
Pardon me? All I said was "Keep singing. You still sound good after all these years. God be with you." I never said that God wasn't God! If God wants Eric to Stop singing, then he will permit it! Nobody can stop God from doing what he does. I never said God wasn't God!
He is the god himself
What? You worship Eric Clapton? No no! That's Idolatry! Get a bible and read it! Eric Clapton did not create this Earth, nor did he send his son to die on the cross for Mankind's sins! Get yourself a bible and read it! You lie when you say he's the God himself!
Dearest Eric thank you very much for your New album ❤
It’s truly awesome to appreciate a living legend and not take a note for granted 🙏🏼
A fantastic song, thanks for your wonderful and soulful music Mr. Clapton
Mr. Clapton always giving us the true. Gracias por siempre!
Eric stay always in this world!
I love It Beautiful Wonderful Song
You are very on-point here, Mr. Clapton; we should (almost constantly) be quite careful and quite mindful of whom leads us, and of course of whom we collectively decide (as a whole) of whom leads us. Regards.
@Eric Clapton Cheers, Mr. Clapton. I love all of your music, from the 1960s onwards. Regards, from western Canada.
THE MASTER MUSICIAN - THE MASTER HUMANITARIAN - AND A GREAT GUITAR SLINGER. PLEASE KEEP GOING MR. CLAPTON, OUR PLANET NEEDS YOU. STAY HEALTHY AND KEEP ON TRUCKIN'.
PEACE AND LOVE!

The old God on Brighton's wall still shining
Good song!
@Eric Clapton It is silly to pretend that you are Eric Clapton to try to fool his adoring fans. Why would you try to impersonate someone. Just be yourself. It’s obvious that you have a different account from the “real” Eric Clapton. You only have two subscribers… He has millions.
Thanks Eric for seeing through the veil of deception -- and bringing us great music that rings true!
CMDR EC; You are no pompous fool!! Your a Great Human Being, A Great Man, a GREAT HUMANITARIAN and I hear ya' play a little guitar too!!!!

“Be careful on who you follow”
I follow you brother Eric
🍻
@Eric Clapton Your response means more to me than you know. Your music certainly speaks to the souls of listeners. You have been, and are, an inspiration to myself and many others musically. But beyond that, your life is also an inspiration. Life is difficult and it's not easy to deal with these problems and come through and be able to say "I'm still here" and still making great music. The three times that I've seen you in concert are very important memories to me. I look forward to more great Eric Clapton music.

@Eric Clapton thanks
年齢を重ねた歌声もまた一つの味。今年も新曲が聴けて嬉しいです☺
So glad one of my all time favs turned out to be a truly genuine, decent bloke with enough conviction to stand with the people; shame the same can't be said for others I once looked upto.
@@jamespurchase4035 ❤️❤️
The man admitted to raping his own wife though. A decent bloke? Seriously?
Love this track. Yeah not many are as cool. I would add Ian Brown and Richard Ashcroft to the list of genuine artists with integrity.
@@jamespurchase4035 the marine rapper
I guess you're not looking up to the right people because there's a lot of musicians out there that stand up for a better world of Peace&Love
Thank you, for the great song.

Que maravillosa y a la vez simple pero efectiva canción! Plena de sencillas verdades que suelen pasar desapercibidas.

Que Dios te bendiga y por supuesto, te saludo como siempre desde Córdoba, Argentina 🇦🇷✌🏻!!!
Love you always and forever Eric❤❤❤❤❤

"Pompous Fools" everywhere in the news, and unfortunately too many to count. Quite clever E.C. Thank you.
Love it! Clapton can do no wrong!
