Lyrics:
What'll you do when you get lonely
And 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,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus
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.
Chorus

That's a badass opening.
Duane Allman, one of the best leads in rock history
Yeah, Duane just wanted to drop by in the studio, Eric told him "Nah, bring your guitar, you gonna play"
I'm 18 and I love Classic Rock Songs like Layla, also Eric Clapton is a guitar god.
Angel Chavarria obviously not you, SO DON'T FUCKING COMMENT!
1980 1981 my love
One of the most legendary songs ever made.
Easily
true
100 percent
Yup
Tako je branko
1970. I (27) was madly in love with a 21-year-old, woman who went on to do modeling. A real beauty. But ya know, that was only a part of it. She had this amazing sexy, fluid tenor voice and a laugh that would melt my heart. SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SONG. I bought the cassette and every time we hit the road, top-down on a Buick Grand Sport, we'd sing, pound on the dash, swinging and swaying....Sadly, I drove her to modeling school in Miami 2 years later and we never saw one another again. This song still after all these years tugs at my heartstrings.
nobody cares

Is anyone out there going to recognise that this song is fifty years old this year
50 years, 1, 000 years, same best modern rock and roll song ever.
Fifty years!!!, it seems easy to get it, nevertheless it's almost a whole life for many people.

Happy Birthday Eric.....
Funny story about this song. A couple of years ago, I had heard the "Classic Rock" station play this song on about 3 different occasions and cut in before the song was over. I HAD to e-mail them and tell them, you can't call yourself a "Classic Rock" station if you are going to do that! The song is NOT over until Duane does the "little bird" at the end! About 2-3 days after my e-mail I heard the song again on the station and they waited until it was over and the DJ said....."Gotta wait for the bird, it's not over until then". I guess I got through to them! :)
Excellent, and true
Ha that's so cool! :-)
Rick Bray Damn right! In classic rock you play the entire song with out talking over it!!
You rock Rick...... Thanks for schooling them good!
Justice for this timeless classic.......
The opening riff is incredible
I think i read somewhere that Duane Allman came up with that riff.
Kelly Taylor that's correct!
@@jamar182, You are correct on that.
The best opening since Bach’s Toccata & Fugue in D minor
Isn't it the lick?
The first three minutes of the song are just the foreplay to the magical piano part and ending.... A masterpiece!
Piano ending? I always thought of it as the slide guitar ending myself.
It's all about the coda.
@@edthacow It's both slide guitar and piano, I think
🍎
@@edthacow It's Duane Allman's slide guitar through out the entire song, though Clapton plays a good melody guitar.
"Y'know... we always called each other 'Goodfellas'."
My favourite piece of this song @ 4:50. sounds so incredible and now in it's 51st year. The covid-19 pandemic certainly won't stop me listening to this wonderful 1970 classic by Derek And The Dominos.

@@hyperdrive282 Sorry Bud! I don't remember which unsavory text that was. Just remember having a probable jealous envy problem with Patti Boyd, which I can't even imagine today. Thanks for the pointer to show some class.
This entire sing is amazing but from about 3:10 to the end to the end of the song the music alone is so soothing it's hard to describe. Arguably one of the best peces of music ever!
I've loved this song since I heard it in Goodfellas.
I always choke up when that piano transition hits, idk why but I do
👍 I personally like 2:05 - 3:05 just as much as the Epic outro.
I don't know what it is but it just strikes me as simply genius. It's like a resounding outburst of joy, tension and even sadness. It's astonishing and the most 'trance/techno' part of the song too.
Reminds me of Rainbow bridge Mario kart 64
The piano part feels so bittersweet. Idk how else to put it
Jeremy, Richard and James. Thank you.

At 3:10 ""Jimmy was cutting every link between himself and the robbery but it wasn't about me. I gave Jimmy the tip and he gave me some Christmas money. From then on I kept my mouth shut. I knew Jimmy, he had the cash. It was his. I know he kicked some money upstairs to Paulie, but that was it. It made him sick to have to turn money over to the guys who stole it, he’d rather whack them. Anyway, what did I care? I wasn’t asking for anything and besides Jimmy was making nice money through my Pittsburgh connections. Still, for months after the robbery, they were finding bodies all over. When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them two days to thaw him out for the autopsy, Still, I never saw Jimmy so happy. He was like a kid. We had money coming in through my Pittsburgh people and after a while even the Lufthansa thing began to calm down. But the thing that made Jimmy so happy that morning was that this was the day Tommy was being made, You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, ‘You’re gonna like this guy. He’s all right. He’s a good fella. He’s one of us’. You understand? We were good fellas. Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn’t even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you’ve got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it’s the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can fuck around with you. It also means you could fuck around with anybody just as long as they aren’t also a member. It’s like a license to steal. It’s a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member."
At 3:10 I think we get that beautiful, beautiful sequence of the bodies in the pink car

No one is talking about Jim Gordon's drumming. He smashed the drums in this one!!
@@NoOne-kr4jc - Nice try. When Rita Coolidge attempted to sue over that bullshit claim, the studio records were produced and the recording of the Coda itself - two years before Coolidge started dating Gordon. She pulled the same nonsense with Kris Kristofferson with the same results. Next time source better, you'll look smarter.
Jim Gordon has even called by many in the profession the greatest rock drummer of all time.
@@chetpogostin34 that's fair
I like when he smashes Penguin's goons in Gotham. Shout out to Bullock.
Gordon came up with Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett into playing with Geo Harrison and EC. He was a GREAT session drummer/ Did with Harry Nilsson on Nilsson Schmilsson great stuff on Jump Into the Fire. Unfortunately he had mental problems, schizo, refused to take prescript meds. Killed his mother with a hammer. Is the only Grammy winner in prison for life. As of a few years ago, 2014? ish, he still refused meds and is always turned down for parole.

The last few minutes are exactly what falling in love feels like
and the rest of the song is what 'getting your heart ripped to pieces' feels like.
The whole album oozes "falling in love so badly it hurts" feeling.
Very well said. Beautiful comparison.
As I write this comment I am showing my 1 day old Daughter Layla the song she was named after for the first time. As soon as the piano kicked in she immediately calmed down. Love you forever my sweet baby Layla.

We used to call each other Goodfellas. Like you'd say to someone you'll like this guy, he's alright, he's a goodfella. He's one of us
Pattie Boyd must've been a real special gal to have two of the greatest love songs of all time written for her
+InsertCleverNameHere What's the other one?
binarystar21 Something by the Beatles
And don't forget "Wonderful Tonight" also by Eric Clapton. Yep, she was something special.
+InsertCleverNameHere Actually, I think once they had her, they didn't care about her because she wasn't all that special. This was a much more repressed era and getting lucky at all meant a lot.....
"I Need You" was George missing her, while away filming "Help" movie.

Duane Allman’s slide guitar during the coda is one of the most breathtaking things ever recorded...
Spot on ...DUANE ALLMAN from Macon, GA!!!!!!!! Gone way too soon-
%100, he sails in the ether. A god
check out his playing on Delaney And Bonnie's "Sing My Way Home" !
I had a filthy hangover and reached for this and a "hair of the dog". All is good again.
Duane Allman was masterful at finding a way to open a song. The Weight with Aretha? I am betting the opening is Duane's.
When they found Carbone in the Meat Truck Frozen Solid it took
2 days to thaw him out for the Autopsy
Every time I hear this song, i have an urge to watch Goodfellas.
Most people hear the acoustic 2 minute long Layla song played by just Clapton himself. I disapprove of this. To get the full Layla experience you need to listen to the 7 minute long version with electric guitar, piano coda and all.
I agree...I had the 45 RPM single that had the entire song including the piano part. My friend had the 45 RPM with the shortened version and you are so right....its not the same as the completed version.
who cares mind ur own business
Shane : dude I agree. .don't forget Duane Allman played slide on that album.. can never be reproduced
Allmans slide chops are just simply awsome i agree with u man
I agree. It's that desperate longing that makes the song.
The transition to the piano part is one of the best things I have ever heard in my life
One of the most beautiful piano pieces ever written
Switches from D to C
WHO ARE HERE TO LISTEN IT AGAIN IN 2024 💀💀💀
ME
The ending is the most peaceful piece of music. It's should be like a recording for you to fall to sleep to.
Not the deep sleep, I hope, lol
At 3.10 it's like you get two songs for the price of one
When i saw Clarkson crying ... it really destroyed me... thank god for the specials that they are gonna make but still end of an era
Oh so that is where I feel like I heard it from. :D
I haven't cried in almost 4 years, but that almost made me choke up...
hey woozie
What?
But woozie, you are blind...
Probably the greatest guitar track of ALL TIME. Sheer raw, crazy splendour.
Never get tired of this classic. IMO one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded.
Thank you Jeremy, Richard and James for the past 16 years.

Thank you Captain Slowly ! :D
I start listening at 3:05
Best part fo sho
The second half is godly
Oh yes
*All of it
The first half is better imo
But I respect that you like more the second half
currently falling in love with a chick and that second half of the song is just.. jeez. really represents how falling in love feels like
Lufthansa at JFK was our biggest Score. Before long, they were finding bodies all over the city, Rather than pay the crews that worked with us on Lufthansa, Jimmy would rather whack them, besides what did I care. By the time they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff, it took them three days to thaw him out so they could do the autopsy
3:10 - 7:02.... after a while people connected to Lufthansa started to disappear...... it made jimmy sick to have to split the money with the people who helped him steal it... he'd rather have em whacked....
This is a REALLY excellent song...and the piano part always remings me of Goodfellas!
Without a doubt, the greatest Rock & Roll song of all time. Eric Clapton & Duane Allman have an incredible, spiritual, musical connection. Duane Allman's slide guitar work is "Haunting"
Listening to this because now Ray Liotta has died. There's no turning back now is there?😓
3:11 You're gonna like this guy, he a goodfella, he's one of us.
aaaand now it's all over
I think of that every time I hear this song!
I dedicate this classic to the late great Rat Liotta. This song was lengendary 18 years before Goodfellas was released. But sometimes a movie and its characters can make the song their own. When the piano exit comes on in the second part of this song i can hear the voice of Henry Hill describing how Jimmy wanted all of the cash for himself. Classic. Thank you Ray for your great and memorable work. Rip.
Mannn I swear everytime it comes on I recite the whole scene out lol beautiful

Martin Scorsese has a special way of making classic songs blend so well with his films that it almost seems like that’s exactly where it belongs. It gives music a face.

I just saw this song when Jeremy clarkson came out and ended the Grandtour... I’m weeping the loss of almost 20 years of them together, I’ve watched them since I was 7 years old... 😞
Sad times man
Well, at least you can remember how old you were at the time. I cannot even remember how old I am, only thing I remembered is I'm watching this curly-haired man talking about an old, rusty Toyota Pick-up truck, at that time, that's the only thing that mattered to me.
Also, it's not really the end of the Grand Tour, but the end of the things like Conversation Street, road tests, and Eboladrome, apparently. Still it makes me very sad, something you're very familiar with now gone...
I only hope that the new format of the show for season 4 would be as good, if not better than where they left here at season 3.
ask your mum and dad what we're on about
Season 3 was a fantastic season. I dont know if there will ever be another trip like the Mongolia one.
I think you need to be weeping the fact it took you until you were 20 something to listen to this song....
This song is a Bob Ross painting. This song is an animal rescued by Steve Irwin. This song is a Mr. Rogers life lesson. This song is a Stan Lee comic. This song is a Stephen Karl Stephenson quote.
Yeah
Kudos to Clapton for deciding on the spot to add on Jim Gordon's piano melody as an ending after hearing him by chance play it in the studio. Its effect is of beautiful rain washing down a summer heatwave, and it gives the song its full epic dimension.
3:10 is hands down the most beautiful piano ever written

Happy Birthday Patti Boyd.
some of the juicy details from her tell-all book :
• In 1970 Boyd was married to Harrison but became involved with Eric Clapton after hearing "Layla." "We met secretly at a flat in South Kensington. Eric had asked me to come because he wanted me to listen to a new number he had written," Boyd recalled. "He switched on the tape machine, turned up the volume and played me the most powerful, moving song I had ever heard. It was 'Layla.'"
• Later that same night Boyd was caught out in the garden of manager Robert Stigwood's house. "[Harrison] kept asking, 'Where's Pattie? But no one seemed to know. He was about to leave when he spotted me in the garden with Eric," Boyd said. "George came over and demanded, 'What's going on?' To my horror, Eric said, 'I have to tell you, man, that I'm in love with your wife.' I wanted to die. George was furious. He turned to me and said: 'Well, are you going with him or coming with me?'" She went home with Harrison.
• Clapton once showed up drunk at Harrison's home and engaged the Beatles' guitarist in a rock duel. "George handed him a guitar and an amp -- as an 18th-century gentleman might have handed his rival a sword -- and for two hours, without a word, they dueled," Boyd recalled. "At the end, nothing was said but the general feeling was that Eric had won. He hadn't allowed himself to get riled or go in for instrumental gymnastics as George had. Even when he was drunk, his guitar-playing was unbeatable."
Great guitarist but a crap friend apparently.
D Watson George was an even shittier friend. Just ask Ringo
D Watson I don't think Clapton ever claimed to be a friend of Harrison, Dijon the Cat is right though, George was no saint.
They were close friends really
I read Clapton's autobiography. He seemed remarkably immature.

In case you don't know it, Layla was Eric's nickname for Patty Boyd who was George Harrison's wife. He stole her away and they were married for 10 years.
dedicated to my baby girl who died at 10. (dog)
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Im sorry for your loss
@@madiinyx5517 Why a "slut" exactly? A few years passed since she was with George when she started her relation with Eric. (I've read Harrison, Clapton and Boyd's memoirs). It's so unfair for a woman to be treated that way by society. But if Lennon leaves his wife and child for Yoko, he was in love.
My pup died aged 10, i was the only bloke on the building site in tears daily for a while, sorry for your loss, its hard
@@DeeckyRizzo No, Lennon was an asshole too for doing that. No one is exempted from breaking their marital vows.
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard!!!
Classic song that Eric Clapton wrote for Patti Boyd who was married to George Harrison at the time.
I'm sad that Jimi Hendrix never heard this song.
he would've made a better cover.
@@3May haha yes but no competition here, he was on another planet than others musicians
Piano part is the star of this track.. amazing.. nothing like it ever again
Yes. Performanse by Bobby Whitlock! 👍🏴
And those bird calls that Duane makes at the very end are icing on the cake ❤
Every chord and beat is the Star. It needed the Edgy, chaotic frantic opening and massive rift overhang too.
So very reminiscent of times 1972.....wonderful
The grand tour..
