LA HISTORIA DETRAS DE UN GRAN TEMA...

A ALGUIEN LE GUSTA ERIC CLAPTON?capaz entienda algo de la historia de el temaLayla....

Clapton estaba bastante perturbado emocionalmente ya que se habia enamorado de Pattie Boyd, la esposa de su mejor amigo, George Harrison, y todo ese dolor que sentia impregno el sentimiento y todo el aura que rodea a "Layla", en especial a la cancion que le da titulo al disco, dedicada indisimuladamente a Boyd.
Justamente el titulo de "Layla" deviene de un poema persa de amor llamado "Layla y Majnum" que relata la obsesion amorosa de un hombre hacia una mujer casada.
Clapton habia leido ese poema en esa epoca y entonces (para el) Patti paso a convertirse en su "Layla". Es curiosa la historia de la Boyd y de las pasiones que desato ya que no debe haber muchas mujeres en todo el mundo que sean capaces de inspirar dos de las mejores canciones que se hayan escrito jamas en la historia de la musica popular... nos referimos obviamente a la ya nombrada "Layla" y a la anterior "Something" (por parte de Harrison).

PD- LAYLA/Pattie termino dejando a Harrison(q la engañaba con muchas mujeres) y refugiandose en los brazos de Clapton...pero mas tarde correria la misma suerte con el 2d0....

aclaro por las dudad que something tambien me parece un tema increible...y que Harrison es mi Beatle preferido...

Beatles - Something

Something in the way she moves

Attracts me like no other lover

Something in the way she woos me

I don't want to leave her now

You know I believe her now

Somewhere in her smile she knows

That I don't need no other lover

Something in her style that shows me

Don't want to leave her now

You know I believe her now

You're asking me will my love grow

I don't know, I don't know

You stick around now it may show

I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows

And all I have to do is think of her

Something in the things she shows me

Don't want to leave her now

You know I believe her now

LAYLA- ERIC CLAPTON

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
