My Song to Share - "Layla" (unplugged) - Eric Clapton

11/27/2018

I chose this song to share because I have been enjoying it for many years. The unplugged (live) version that uses acoustic instruments is slower and much more mellow than the original version of the song. Eric Clapton is an excellent guitar player. He sings and has also written a lot of varying styles of music which have become popular songs throughout his history. I like the bluesy feel of this version and the fact that there are improvised solos from Clapton and the piano player, Jim Gordon. Hope you enjoy! Leave your comments.

I like the song it has a good feel but not really to my taste. Its slower than what i usually listen too but i definitely do not hate it. I hear a lot of guitar and tambourine but the drums are definitely light. listening to this song makes me feel mellow and calm which comes mostly from the feel of the song (if that makes sense lol). i believe this song is like a soft rock jazzy type thing. What i like most about the song is that it does not use fake sounds and its not auto tuned its very real. I dislike how slow the song is but thats just me I personally like faster songs. What i find unique about the song is that you can tell its definitely a little older its not loud no ones screaming there is not fake drums or edited voices and i think that makes the song very unique compared to recent songs. I probably would not listen to more music like this but i guess it would depend on my mood i find my dad listens to a lot of music like this so i would definitely listen to more music like this around him.

I like the song which is a bit odd since my music taste doesn't rotate around that particular style, however I do love the rhythm and chords Clapton used for the guitars and find the piano compliments them very well. The lyrics are also well written and I very much enjoyed the story he told the audience through his music.

It's definitely catchy, i'll give you that, Mr. McQuarrie, but, to be totally honest it's not my cup of tea. It has a nice Melody, and the guitar is really pleasing to the ears. One thing i dislike is how soft the drums are. They're not there, but usually in the music i listen to, there's either A LOT of drums, or no drums. I don't like knowing there's drums in a song but not knowing when they're playing. And, to be honest, I usually listen to, either depressing music, or loud, hype songs. the chorus is definitely gonna get stuck in my head though.

Thanks for replying. Glad it is not something you normally listen too and at least the chorus is catchy.
