A review of the classic album by Derek and the Dominos – Layla.
Derek And The Dominos – Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs (1970) — The Ultimate Music Library
*Great review and album — you can buy it here. There is also Eric Clapton’s autobiography here.
Where have all the sad songs
gone? When I was young I sang
the saddest songs; there was
a depth, a yin as well as
yang, like the love
of a minor chord, or a melancholy
walk by the sea –
and it was all so much bigger
than me. Something
tells me that I can’t be
ageing well, not when
all the songs sound the same,
where the tide never rises again
