What'll you do when you get lonely
But nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride

Layla
You've got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging, darling, please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
You turned my whole world upside down

Layla
You've got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging, darling, please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain

Layla
You've got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging, darling, please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla
You've got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging, darling, please
Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Whoo, whoo, whoo...

My ex wife (born late 70s) heard this on the radio and asked me, "oh, is this a new version of Layla?"

One of the few tracks that 7,651 roboplays FM did not consign to the dusty bins.

Love the art, and what it gives you. 

I would have never hanged around with Picasso either; but I happen to love his paintings too...


Jim Gordon, (second from left), the man whose piano-playing on the 'Layla' coda has brought grown men to tears, is halfway through his thirty-eighth year in prison in Vacaville, California, where he is expected to spend the rest of his life.

Offense taken.
Maybe it's just been too many times, but the overall performance seems forced and yet lazy, and I am not one for big majestic finishes trying to make a lust fest into an epic anthem.  
I wonder just how much of a minority I'm in to enjoy the MTV Unplugged version of this song more than the original.
Why could nobody in the 70's calibrate the speed on their tape machines?!?  Was it incompetence or laziness?  This recording is sharp by almost half a semitone... 
Glorious song - played uncountable times the world over on radio, I imagine, but not always the full version - with that played in its entirety, the song remains an easy 9 for me đź‘Ť
OMG ... heard it a million times, and still I have to stop and listen. That piano bridge in the second section will not be ignored.

A minor point, Bill.  You cut off the bird whistle at the end.  It mystified me for years, as do many things   :>

The sharp, biting pain in your hand 2/10 seconds later?
Love the song, but the outro goes on way way way way way way too long.
So many times listening to this with a bunch of stupidly stoned dorm mates. I could never get over how flat the “soaring” guitar is at the end. So painful to listen to in an otherwise iconic piece.
For fucks sake Layla just lay down and give the boy what he wants, so he stops his whining and packs his guitar away and shuts the fuck up.

I recall reading something George said about "boy, I made a mistake asking for EC to join us" type of stuff....and he was right.  Eric did have his demons and I'm glad for his sake he can say he's a regular ole family guy now (regular in the music super star sort of way)

You know that when a song or track is over, and you are a bit let down, that it was a GOOD or GREAT track.  
Some folks here aren't very impressed by this tune or this album.  Sorry, folks, but imho for this whole collection -- in 1975 Boston, and anywhere it simply never got any better than this double LP, the apex of blues rock.  
I clearly remember the first time I heard this.  It was as close as I've ever come to what some might call a religious experience.  Those two soaring, intertwined guitars left a permanent impression on me.

best Love Song ever.....

This song came out 45 years ago this time of year.

Appropriate for me to stop and listen to it today and remember people from that time.

on a different note, at their wedding reception years later, 3 of the Beatles played together for the first time in years. Think it was George, Ringo, and either Paul or John. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/eric-clapton-wedding-beatles-reunion/

Reminds me of someone in the past....1973. Always playing it on the cassette deck in the car.


Question for those who know Eric Clapton better, or -as I did- seen him perform:

Is he always this apathetic towards his audience?

The show i went to see and hear was with Steve Winwood (2011) and even though he played brilliantly (I will buy his records anytime, blind) his stage presence was utterly disappointing. He may have given the public a glance but didn't say a word. No 'hi', no (obligatory) 'nice to be here' nor a 'goodbye' when the show was over.. He just sat on his stool, did the songs (with an incredibly long tedious version of Hendrix's Cross Town Traffic) and up and went away..

It seemed to me he'd had a falling out with Steve just before the show, or was sick to his stomach or just hated being there (Arnhem, Gelredome Stadium, The Netherlands).

Could well have been. Maybe it wasn't his night as well.. But now it's hard for me to block this image and the feeling of deception, and it will still take a while before I'll play one of his albums at home with pleasure.

Sounds familiar to anyone?
No, it needs to be 7 minutes shorter.

Because for every one of the the whiny folks insist on adding to the negative comments - mostly because this has been massively overplayed all there lives, or their parents forced them to listen to it too often or whatever - there are 10 of us who have loved this amazingly beautiful and transcendant piece of music ever since we were old enough to appreciated it. We vote once and then just sit back and enjoy.

Surprised I have never rated this tune, giving it a 9.
I won't say I hate him, but I'm not a Clapton fan....But I love this song!....always have.

Maybe because you weren't born/raised in the UK or the USA circa 1967 - 1973.

(sigh...)
I dream about being Patti Boyd. Is there any other woman alive who's inspired so many brilliant songs?

Ah...to be the muse of genius.
I used to dance to this around the coffee table when my Dad played it when I was five...love the long instrumental.
Horrible!!!! Along with Mississippi Queen and a few others among my least favorite songs of all times!!{#Frustrated}

Welcome to RP, allabout. I see you're kind of new here, and might not know how things work.

RP is "listener supported" in every sense of the word, allabout. If there's something you think the listeners here might enjoy, read the guidelines for how to rip a track in the quality Bill needs it to be in and upload it. It will appear in the LRC, and the listeners here will vote on whether or not they would like it added to the rotation.

From there, it's in Rebecca and Bill's hands.

It's also a big help if you listen to the LRC from time to time and vote on songs. The more people do that, the better the station reflects the tastes of the listeners.


Haha, the outro. Haha, horrible, HORRIBLE playing. Amazing, it's like they're playing totally out of key on purpose...

The acoustic version is so much better because it doesn't have Allman's uber-schmaltzy slide guitar crap at the end.

Layla (second part) is an incredible masterpiece. The guitar work by Allman and Clapton is brilliant and a gift to history. Producer Tom Dowd deserves lot of credit for mixing the song. I've listened lots of times to both the original Dowd mix and the later early 1990s remix(lots more slide guitar by Skydog  ). Each version has its merits and I rate both of them a 10. Sad that no decent live recreation of the coda can be done because of all the studio mixing. I've seen Clapton play the coda on the web at 20 different concerts with many different guitarists and none of the live performances are close to the original (best one, in my view is the one where Eric plays a red Strat with Phil Collins on drums). I hate the Layla unplugged version, always have. Like taking a chain saw to a Ferrari. Man, Skydog was incredible and unique, Eric's equal when both were at their peak.

 
Amen.

The collective memories of the people who have lived out their life, good and bad, as this song has played in the background, could fill a half a dozen libraries or more! And make for some very interesting reading!

Though I'll agree on the merits of Duane's work on this segment of the song, I think it's balanced well against the foreground of the piano. Coincidently, I once had a student turn up in my drawing class by the name of Travis Whitlock. Turns out to be Bobby Whitlock's (the pianist) nephew. Told me stories of being a kid at family BBQ's where his uncle would show up with Clapton, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon amonst others. This kid was a gifted artist and musician as well. Guess it runs in the blood.

Best thing Clapton ever did. What made it great was Duane's solo.
Magnificent piano crescendo:
The most critically acclaimed and popular song off the album, "Layla", was recorded in separate sessions; the opening guitar section was recorded first, with the second section several months later. Duane Allman contributed the opening notes for the song. Clapton thought "Layla" was missing an acceptable ending; an abrupt conclusion would diminish the intensity of the music and a fadeout would detract from the urgency of the lyrics. The answer was an elegiac piano piece composed and played by drummer Jim Gordon. Gordon had been separately writing and playing songs during the Layla sessions for a solo album when Clapton accidentally heard the piano piece, Clapton asked Gordon to use the piano piece as the ending for "Layla", Gordon agreed and the song was complete.

When I listen to these songs, I put myself in a time warp, and judge the merits by their impact, influence and song craft, relevant to the time they were made. This song gets a 10.

It 's been argued by many that some of the best work on this album was the contributions of Duane Allman. His slide technique was so tastey and flawless. What a teaming of talent on this record.

I know! With that great long shot of Robert De Niro.
I like the acoustic version of this song even better than the original, which always seemed a little to strident and overdone to me. Still, this cut is an obvious 8, at least.
I first heard Layla the day it came out. Tore off the cellophane wrapper and laid the vinyl gently on the turntable. Gave me chills then and still does. This is the basis for RP's "Godlike" rating. Excuse me while I wipe a tear. Gasp.
