Bless the lads that grew up to become men. Your voices back in Song are freeing a whole lotta love up in the collective that love you

There is Anthem here.
. . .found this glass bulb-like thing in the old Subway, by the Tube station. Hope it's wires keep shining bright.

Van, . Oh Socrates and Plato, they praised it to the skies:
Everyone who's ever Loved,
Everyone who's ever tried.
If my heart could do my thinking and my head began to feel,
why I'd look upon this world anew,
And know what's Truly real.

You validated thinking with your heart for this Traveller with that one.
Love you. Best to you n yours.

Eric,
I'm still goin nuts over your n Duane's
Unbelievable Lightness of Being chords for your magical, pieces of Layla.
(Tom Dowed, mix bits n pieces)
But when I heard Tears in Heaven one a.m. driving in my car, trying to get some Peace, after my Mum passed, my cheap car speakers sounded like a cathedral, and for a split second she was with me again.
Up Top is where Avillion will take us one day,
Til then, I'll struggle on my Traveller path with
Hope,
Mercy,
and a whole lotta
Love.

Shine on,
the Beacons of Minis Tirith are lit, lads-to-men.

I know where 2 rebels are, maybe some more will step up now. Thanks for this great song it’s an anthem sorely needed.

[rahullahiri]

What a great piece and an amazing video! My 16-yr old daughter is a huge fan of Eric Clapton. Managed to get two tickets to his concert at the Warriors Chase stadium opening in 2019. Managed to keep it a secret until we got there. When she realized it was an Eric Clapton concert, she started crying :-) Some priceless moments courtesy of Mr. Clapton.

[Debutantess]

Right on. Keep on keepin on, Eric and Van! I admire your integrity to speak out in such a crazy world. More power to ya!

[rhondafitzgerald]

I get it now! ThankYou for being You, and sharing your minds hearts and souls, from within, yet beyond, the darkness ...im feeling more hopeful now than ever before. LOVE truly is the highest expression of the energy that we all are ...am i too late? I apologize truly.

[maryminer]

Where, indeed! I for one have not yet nor will I ever put a mask on! I was born a rebel for sure in 1953!

[epicrick]

They are singing this song together, the rest are hiding and doing as they were told to do.
