| Eric Clapton – Layla Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Awesome song!! I had never known the history behind this song until I just watched 20/20 and they interviewed Patti Boyd and told her story. It was before George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh that Eric Clapton became interested in Patti. She received a letter from a man that stated he was in love with her and it was simply signed "E" She showed it to George and they had a laugh about it and forgot about it till later that evening when she saw Eric and he asked her if she had received his letter. She started spending lots of time with him- at that time George spent so much time in the studio she was left on her own so much... she was very flattered with George's many compliments he paid her-- one day in 1970 he asked her to listen to a song and put a cassette in and he played "Layla" 3 times and she had by then figured out the song was about her. That night she and Georged attended a party at Eric's manager's home and she was out in the garden with Eric where George saw them and he asked what was going on and Eric said "I'm in love with your wife"--George asked her "Are you going home with me, or him?" That night she went home with George. The next time she saw Eric, he held up a vial of heroin, vowing to take it if she didn't run off with him. She refused and she didn't see him for 3-4 years as he then became addicted to heroin. George and Patti's marriage started breaking apart during that time--the Beatles broke up, George was more distant and distracted..there was lots of drugs and drinking, and infidelity. Then one hideous scene when George was caught having an affair with Ringo Starr's wife Marie. Eric kicked his heroin addiction and continued persuing Patti. In the summer of 1974 she made the decision to leave George. She then married Eric and they divorced in 1988. She said their marriage was all about extremes loads of heartache and loads of jun, joyous times. He even had written another song for her named "Wonderful Tonight" In the interview I watched Patti was asked her is the great love of her life. She first asked if she could have 2 and was told no and then she said "Probably George, I feel George is with me forever. So I supposed I'd have to say George is the love of my life" |

[Verse Two: Dr. Dre] Now I'm holdin the dove, sittin on swoll Twenty-seven years old, up for parole, stroll I'm back up on my feet wit my mind on the money that I'll be makin soon as I touch the street Thangs done changed on this side Remember they used to thump - but now they blast, right But it ain't no thang to me Cause now I'm what they call a loc'd-ass O.G. The little homies from the hood wit grip are the ones I get with cause I'm down to set-trip Nigga, I'm bigger than you, so whatchu wanna do? Didn't know we had a twenty-two Straight sittin behind his back I grabbed his pockets and then I heard six caps I fell to the ground.. with blood on my hands, I didn't understand How a nigga so young could bust a cap I used to be the same way back I guess that's what I get (For what?) For tryin to jack them little homies for they grip [Daz] Me learn many things of what me see from the streets The outcome of what I come to be [Chorus] [Verse Three: Snoop Doggy Dogg] Somethin for the real O.G.'s to get wit Some facts, made our made, now you runnin but I'm played like every single day, really doe You know me, I'm the smooth macadamian, gamin them for my homie No need to be uncalm if you pack right And learnin just enough to keep your sack right Late nights, I wonder what they gettin fo' Early mornin on the corners, what they hittin fo' Seven young G's put they serve down In a G-ride, Eastside's where they swerve now Not thinking about what's really goin on Got crept on, stepped on, now they gone I spent four years in the county wit nuttin but convicts around me But now I'm back at the Pound And we expose ways, for the youth to survive Some think it's wrong but we tend to think it's riiight So make all them ends you can make cause when you're broke, you break, check it out So ain't no need for your mama to trip Cause you's a hustling ass youngsta, clockin your grip [Daz] And now me life as you can see, still an O.G. for life and always remain to be, a little ghetto boy.. [Chorus] |

I was apart from my fiancee (my now husband yay!) for 15 months (actually, after 9 months I did visit him for 3 weeks) and one day when I called him and was telling him (ok, so I was whining!) how much I missed him, he told me he emailed me a link and to go and check it out. We got off the phone and I went to check my email. The link led me to a site that played this song. I cried so hard and I called him to tell him how much I loved him. After that, I lost any insecurity I had about the fact that we were apart and was a lot more patient until I flew to be with him forever 3 months later. This song will always be very special to me. :) |
