This is one of the songs I can't listen to without crying like a baby. The pathos is palpable, especially given the tragedy of his 4 year-old son's heart-wrenching death. The slide guitar is exquisite. The blues at its finest. Kudos, Mr Clapton.

Lost my brother a week ago. He loved Eric.

Just makes you want to reflect on the people who are not with us. Just to sit with my mum and dad and here there voices again …God bless ❤️

[Ozquonk]

This song always touches such deep sadness and shame, completely openly. His words and silken guitar unfailingly invite me to return to that familiar drowning, completely willingly.

The first time I heard this song was a few weeks ago on a streaming service while working in my office. The lyrics drew me withing seconds of stopping the song because the tears were welling up in my eyes.

Eric Clapton may have written it for a specific situation in his life but I think everyone can identify with it's tragic beauty as to how it applies to us all.

Well done (once again) Mr. Clapton.

Whew! Eric never loses his touch. He is one soul touching singing man. Makes your toenails curl. Lose all touch of reality❤❤❤❤❤
