My mother named me Laila (Layla) after this song. You cannot understand the connection I have with this song. How many people have sung this to me in my 22 yrs of living or how it makes me feel as it was made for specifically for me. I know it isn’t but I love to think it’s about me.
Just my opinion, but I think what makes this song (specifically this version) so perfect are a few things: the timeless name/idea of “Layla” (could be anyone/anything); the swampy, rolling melody (akin to Fleetwood Mac before Buckingham/Nicks); the walking nature of the lyrics; a tune everyone can sing and hum; and a class act, relatable writer like Eric. It serves not only as a time capsule to millions, but a song that future generations will undoubtedly come to love too.
What will you do when you get lonely? No one waiting by your side You've been running, hiding much too long You know it's just your foolish pride Layla, you got me on my knees Layla, begging, darling, please Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind? I tried to give you consolation When your old man let you down Like a fool I fell in love with you You turned my whole world upside down Layla, you got me on my knees Layla, I'm begging, darling, please Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane Please don't say we'll never find a way Or tell me all my love's in vain Layla, you got me on my knees Layla, I am begging, darling, please Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
I was just 8 years old when I loved this song and only heard it a handful of times. Then 29 years go by and not heard it once. Now found it by chance. Now I finally know the name of the song. It must be a super rare song that is never played on any radio station as I listen to the radio almost every day Its took me nearly 3 decades to find this song, I am now 37 years old
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. [Chorus:] 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 2x]
Man, I remember when I first heard this song. I was 4 years old at the time, and taking piano lessons at my local music center. They had a TV playing music videos, and this one came up. Now, 14 years later, I find it. Thanks!
23 years, I have loved this song. I loved before I even learned English and my love was greater after learning English. Everything, including the back singers, perfection. 🧡
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist-guitarist Eric Clapton, backing vocalists Katie Kissoon and Tessa Niles, guitarist Andy Fairweather-Low, bass guitarist-backing vocalist Nathan East, drummer Steve Ferrone, percussionist Ray Cooper, and keyboardist Chuck Leavell.
I would have freakout in the audience realising it was the acoustic version of layla, its like one of the best electric song becoming one of the best acoustic song
Growing up in elementary, I always heard this song on the radio all the way up until now. Never knew it was Eric Clapton. I grew up in a religious household so secular music was limited. These are one of the songs that got me through rough times
This Unplugged version I love hearing over and over again. Any number of times, no issue. Simply grand. Thanks Mr.Clapton. Thanks Dana for uploading it.
If you ever have to explain to someone what an arranger does or what an arrangement is, play them this song! This is the best arrangement of a kick-ass rock song to a ballad _ever_ !
Everyone, if you really are that worried about this type of music dying because nobody "young" listens to it. Don't. I'm 16 and appreciate that type of music (stones, led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc). They are brilliant bands, with brilliant musicians. It won't die out, they've made too much of a mark on the world around us. Boom.
My dad named my dog after this song. We had her for 13 years. She recently got put down and we played this song. She went through a lot with my family. It is very depressing but it feels good to listen to this song at the same time.
I love how this song is groovin' so hard. It's such a tight rhythmic section which I love a lot combined with Claptons great voice and beautiful arrangement. Great!!!
I met this charming boy one night. We went back to his apartment and he got his guitar. He was playing certain classics, then I asked him if he liked Clapton; that's when he begun strumming the intro of Layla. Now he's on my mind.
I love this version of "Layla"! My best friend John AMORing recommended it to me! I never get tired of listening to it!!! Great!!! 😘❤💕🎵🎵🎵 Miss u, honey!!!
April 2019! My 16 year old grandson is learning to play this song! I'm a very proud Nana! This is better than the original version. Yes I remember when the original version came out, I was a lot younger then!
This song makes me think of my old Loves. Now im alone, Looking at 62. So many thoughts fill my mind with this Song. I am a drummer. Played this song!!!!
You are loved BOUNDLESSLY by consciousness/creation/the Source. Not to sound too hippy but I truly believe we are all woven in this mysterious force called reality. You are never truly. Lonely. Even if u tried to be. Love permeates, and you are part of this love. Peace to you.
I’m newly divorced. Layla was one of her favorites. After 15 years, still love her like hell. She really has got me on my knees. Miss her everyday. She can be a prick too, but I messed up badly. Not as bad as others, but bad enough. Now I would be happy just to talk about the weather with her. Would be heaven for me. I love you and still miss you...and I think I always will.
Listening to all the instruments overlapping and blending together perfectly is like magic This song makes me wanna love someone named Layla!!! This song makes me wanna love someone named Layla!!!
This is always my favourite version of this song, definitely great for driving down the highway relaxing back in your chair as you watch outside the window on the passenger side.
This was our song & no doubt for many others too, and now my darling has passed away. This Song brings me Joy & Sorrow at the same time. We saw Eric Clapton 9 times, amazing musician ❤️❤️❤️
Hello!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day. Stay Safe!
I lost my high school best friend to a car accident last year and her name was Layla. This song makes me think of her every time I hear it. Miss u friend. RIH.
I think i depends on what mood your in. The fast version is very good if your very pumped and happy when this unplugged version is good if your calm and just want to listen to some good music! :)

YES! I found the version I grew up with! My parents would play his stuff all the time when I was a kid, so this has a huge nostalgia factor for me. Thanks for uploading this!
Closing in on 50 million views...Eric is much loved. I know my life is made better just hearing his guitar sometimes...sweet dulcet notes, raging mad crescendos, diarrhea licks and oh-so inspired chord changes and mis-rendered renderings. God loves a madman and I do too. Bless you Eric, and Conor also.
Love this song, but that's extreme. You'll get burned out at some point, and don't hit me with the "but no seriously I love this I'll never bored" bullshit, it's going to happen, and you will remember me.
The original is the best. But I love them all. I named my daughter Layla, after the original. The acoustic version came out when she was a couple months old. She passed away in 2011...
I love them equally. This riff is one of the most iconic pieces of music ever written in Rock history. It also lends itself perfectly to an acoustic performance. That's a testament to Eric's incredible song writing skills, no matter what he's like as a person.
Magnificent!! All the songs about Layla are so incredible !!) Super !! By the way Leyla means-dark night ) I pass by these walls, the walls of Layla And I kiss this wall and that wall It’s not Love of the walls that has enraptured my heart But of the One who dwells within them Nizami Ganjavi " Layla and Mejnun"
Aryadeep Dutta Layli and Majnun"(in fact she is Layli in Nizami"s work) is not Indian love story ,it is an ancient Arabian love story and first time that was Nizami who has brought this love story to the literature and then other medieval poets wrote their own Leyli and Majnun stories .. Nizami Ganjavi was born in Ganja ,in Azerbaijan who had Turkic origin ,but he wrote in Persian as at that times persian language was the language of literature .. On the basis of his works the Azerbaijani composers and art workers wrote many operas and other works ....It was the great Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov who firstly wrote opera" Leyli and Majnun" in 1908 and by this event not only in Azerbaijan also in Muslim East was founded opera.....The other prominent Azerbaijani composer Qara Qarayev wrote ballet "Seven Beauties" based on Nizami Ganjavi famous poem, Seven Beauties ("Yeddi gözəl") .... But " Kalila and Dimna" an ancient Indian fable-story written in Sanskrit from the motives of which Nizami used in his work "The Treasury of Mysteries") ..... I am agree with you that it is a great love story One should read "Layli and Mejnun" or watch opera Leyli and Mejnun to understand it deeply ... Thank you for your patience for reading my long answer))

What happened to that kind of music? The best most wonderful and pure music. I'll tell what happened: our generation came and destroyed it to its very core. And that's a shame. It's a shame that most songs these days won't become a worldwide hit unless they involve sex of some kind. And people should be ashamed of themselves for sitting by and letting that happen.
Its a different era... I think that those music from before 90ies would not be that special if same or better would be done now.. It would inflate the awesomeness of those masterpieces.
i totally agree.this music had soul,and feeling.this is the kind of music that i like to play along with a guitar.today's hiphop and so called r'n'b is bullshit.its all about sex and bitches and ho's and niggas and motherfuckers blaa blaa ect. because sex sell's,but it has no feeling to it.u think justin bieber would sell so much if he wasnt so good looking.but this music(clapton,hendrix,stones,led zep,ect)it will stand the test of time,and that is the only TRUE test.!!plus these guys could actually play their instruments.nowdays music is made with computers.
Do you think there is anything you can do about it, instead of just complain? sure it feels god to complain, but is there anything you can do like maybe introduce some youngster to this music? inspire someone to create this kind of music.
My family yellow lab was named after this song. This is the first time I am listening to this song since she passed away (November 20th, 2017). R.I.P Layla girl. We love and miss you baby. "And like a fool, I fell in love with you. Turned my whole world upside down."
My name's Rhiannon after the fleetwood mac song, Rhiannon. In august ill have a daughter named Layla after this Eric clapton song. :). I love this song and i cant wait to meet my little Layla.

The acoustic version is like its own separate masterpiece. Gets stuck in my head for days at a time. Never gets old.
For sure! Two different songs. Sending positivity.
This version is way better than the original
Same here. I'll be singing and tapping to the rhythm indefinitely after listening today.

My daughter is named Laila after this song also. Your name also means beauty in the night
*Oasis* made a good song called *"Lyla"* too.
My dad named me after this song …. He killed him self this year… i hate this song now and also the name
It IS all about U Love-anyone says different, have them SEE ME!!!
You should look up the Arabic legend of Layla and Majnun, that's where it comes from.
Just my opinion, but I think what makes this song (specifically this version) so perfect are a few things: the timeless name/idea of “Layla” (could be anyone/anything); the swampy, rolling melody (akin to Fleetwood Mac before Buckingham/Nicks); the walking nature of the lyrics; a tune everyone can sing and hum; and a class act, relatable writer like Eric. It serves not only as a time capsule to millions, but a song that future generations will undoubtedly come to love too.
Now that you mention it, I think Layla and Rhiannon have a few things in common.🙂
For some reason woke up with this song running through my head. Strange cuz it’s been decades since I’ve heard it. What a dream state to come out of!
What will you do when you get lonely?
No one waiting by your side
You've been running, hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man let you down
Like a fool I fell in love with you
You turned my whole world upside down
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
Make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
Or tell me all my love's in vain
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I am begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
Juste one❤

This is one of those tunes I heard as a child but couldn’t find the song until a year ago. I’ll never let it go again
I was just 8 years old when I loved this song and only heard it a handful of times.

Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way

in short, love is an insanity, but the most wholesome mental illness we will ever need
whose suffering is worth a thousand fold of pain and torment

This Unplugged version I love hearing over and over again. Any number of times, no issue. Simply grand. Thanks Mr.Clapton.
Thanks Dana for uploading it.
If you ever have to explain to someone what an arranger does or what an arrangement is, play them this song!
This is the best arrangement of a kick-ass rock song to a ballad _ever_ !
Wonderful point! All of a sudden you hear the infinite possibilities in what you thought was the only possible version.
Everyone, if you really are that worried about this type of music dying because nobody "young" listens to it. Don't.

so beautiful and good music thank you eric clapton for this masterpiece😍
My Grandfather played guitar like Eric Clapton. He was so talented. He could play just about any instrument.
I've struggled with it for YEARS & not really got anywhere. Got mates who are good & played in bands with people who'd blow your socks off!
I love this version. You can feel the longing.
It's the original and always the best
It's the quiet, understated part that makes this so devastatingly effective.
I met this charming boy one night. We went back to his apartment and he got his guitar. He was playing certain classics, then I asked him if he liked Clapton; that's when he begun strumming the intro of Layla. Now he's on my mind.

He was pining after his friend’s wife for years and then when she divorced him and married Clapton, he beat the shit out of her.

She would have named you after the original version which is very different.
Love you layla😋♥️
Lucky u
That's a good name for a doggo.
Same, I was named after the song, and it was the acoustic version for me. My parents used to play this song all the time when I was young
I love how catchy, classy and at the same time completely floating and sexual it is; a classic for a reason.
how is it sexual?
I think they meant sexual as in feel (melody). Otherwise I'd swap out sexual for lustful on behalf of Layla
Exactly
@@pickle2636 Like the man is dying for Layla, sexually addicted.

YES! I found the version I grew up with! My parents would play his stuff all the time when I was a kid, so this has a huge nostalgia factor for me. Thanks for uploading this!
This song has a penchant for getting stuck in my head, and I’m perfectly ok with that.
Long live the master that created the genre all of his own,,,, salute to both versions💙
Best version of one of the best ever pieces of music
Cleans my brain from bullshit.
what
This song certainly has the 'chill out' factor!
+Mr. Noone Stop listening to BS in the 1st place eh? Problem solved mate.
I'm new generation :D. You can't do nothing with it.
+Outsider Yeah, I agree!
Closing in on 50 million views...Eric is much loved. I know my life is made better just hearing his guitar sometimes...sweet dulcet notes, raging mad crescendos, diarrhea licks and oh-so inspired chord changes and mis-rendered renderings. God loves a madman and I do too. Bless you Eric, and Conor also.
been listening to it for 8 hours straight, almost 9 actually, still not bored. Masterpiece!
the guitar solos on this version and the original can nevet get old.
same
yesSss foR DaaYz!!
Love this song, but that's extreme. You'll get burned out at some point, and don't hit me with the "but no seriously I love this I'll never bored" bullshit, it's going to happen, and you will remember me.

I love both versions of this song but this is the one I listen to when I’m in chill mode💯🎶💙🔥
such a beautiful song, even through the struggles with my father, i know he will always try to make me feel better by singing this
except he would change “darling won’t you ease my mind” with “stooppp cryyyinggg”
Anyone listening this in 2024????? 🎉
The original is the best. But I love them all. I named my daughter Layla, after the original. The acoustic version came out when she was a couple months old. She passed away in 2011...
This a sad comment, in one of the greatest songs ever. If i may ask, what was the occasion of death?
Costas Vassilikiotis fell out of a window probably
Shawn West NO NO NO NO NO NO *Cries internally*
Oh damm
*****
Thats what happened to Clapton's child. Thats why, even though that comment is fucked up
Always loved this...the speed medal version, as well as the accustical! 👏
Yeah. I love all speeds.
The audience screams are there to remind me that this is a live performance...such quality wow 💯
Ciao..da.by..gio..sss.primo..group..Milano.. italy..
This is THE BEST VERSION in my opinion!
there is but one word to describe this version of this song...perfect
I love this version waaay more than the original. more sensual
me too
they are both good both have a different mood to listen to this version a good laid back kind of buzz
I love them equally. This riff is one of the most iconic pieces of music ever written in Rock history. It also lends itself perfectly to an acoustic performance. That's a testament to Eric's incredible song writing skills, no matter what he's like as a person.
it's much more soothing and cool I think. good taste in music dude.
i love juuu tuu
Love it! I can’t stop playing it!🇻🇪🇬🇷🇺🇸❤️🎶🎶🎶
Magnificent!! All the songs about Layla are so incredible !!) Super !! By the way Leyla means-dark night )
I pass by these walls, the walls of Layla
And I kiss this wall and that wall
It’s not Love of the walls that has enraptured my heart
But of the One who dwells within them
Nizami Ganjavi " Layla and Mejnun"
Паааааааххх))) Эле бидирсиз анчаг сиздерин адына махнылар йязыплар))))))))) Сен буна бах еее))) Shami - Гуля (трек под заказ)

The concept Layla stands the for the love he had for his love....its basically a Indian great love story...layla majnu...
Aryadeep Dutta Layli and Majnun"(in fact she is Layli in Nizami"s work) is not Indian love story ,it is an ancient Arabian love story and first time that was Nizami who has brought this love story to the literature and then other medieval poets wrote their own Leyli and Majnun stories .. Nizami Ganjavi was born in Ganja ,in Azerbaijan who had Turkic origin ,but he wrote in Persian as at that times persian language was the language of literature .. On the basis of his works the Azerbaijani composers and art workers wrote many operas and other works ....It was the great Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov who firstly wrote opera" Leyli and Majnun" in 1908 and by this event not only in Azerbaijan also in Muslim East was founded opera.....The other prominent Azerbaijani composer Qara Qarayev wrote ballet "Seven Beauties" based on Nizami Ganjavi famous poem, Seven Beauties ("Yeddi gözəl") .... But " Kalila and Dimna" an ancient Indian fable-story written in Sanskrit from the motives of which Nizami used in his work "The Treasury of Mysteries") ..... I am agree with you that it is a great love story One should read "Layli and Mejnun" or watch opera Leyli and Mejnun to understand it deeply ... Thank you for your patience for reading my long answer))
***** absolutely correct it is this love story that inspired my daughters name
I haven’t heard this song in so long!! So glad I found it again!
this great singer and music will never die...never!!
I've listened to many live versions of 'Layla' and this acoustic performance is perhaps the best!
Love
So good it matches the original Layla
*is the best
It makes my head swinging left and right slowly and take my breath really fine hearing this superb legendaries master of layla
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.
You've 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.
[Guitar solo]
Layla,
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
Darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Angelina Taylor Thanks
Awesome lyrics thanks so much
Plus, you learned all the lyrics !
Bless
Andjela T. Love it! Thanks for the lyrics. My favorite!!
I respect this man,Artist,a great one,he doesn't just sing,he feels and gives these feelings to us
What happened to that kind of music? The best most wonderful and pure music. I'll tell what happened: our generation came and destroyed it to its very core. And that's a shame. It's a shame that most songs these days won't become a worldwide hit unless they involve sex of some kind. And people should be ashamed of themselves for sitting by and letting that happen.
Its a different era... I think that those music from before 90ies would not be that special if same or better would be done now.. It would inflate the awesomeness of those masterpieces.
Maybe you should listen to Ed Sheeran's "I see fire"...
the illuminate, thats what happend
i totally agree.this music had soul,and feeling.this is the kind of music that i like to play along with a guitar.today's hiphop and so called r'n'b is bullshit.its all about sex and bitches and ho's and niggas and motherfuckers blaa blaa ect. because sex sell's,but it has no feeling to it.u think justin bieber would sell so much if he wasnt so good looking.but this music(clapton,hendrix,stones,led zep,ect)it will stand the test of time,and that is the only TRUE test.!!plus these guys could actually play their instruments.nowdays music is made with computers.
Do you think there is anything you can do about it, instead of just complain? sure it feels god to complain, but is there anything you can do like maybe introduce some youngster to this music? inspire someone to create this kind of music.
One of my absolute favourites, this song ❤️
Comment autant de personnes ne peuvent pas apprécier ce chef d'œuvre!?
I know right?!
Tout à fait d’accord!
I'm Layla and I never get tired of people asking me if i've heard this song before 😎
His music is great. It's a pity he's a racist twat
Such Beautiful name!!!!!
Layla.....
I'm the person who asked about it especially toward my sister because she is named Laela (spell like Layla) too

"....Layla?.....I like your song....." - Adam Sandler, Big Daddy (1999) :-)
My family yellow lab was named after this song. This is the first time I am listening to this song since she passed away (November 20th, 2017). R.I.P Layla girl. We love and miss you baby.
