Eric Clapton - It's In The Way That You Use It

[Roninwarrior7]

Clapton + Newman = the epitome of cool.

[MsPeaches1974]

 I Love this song and the grooviness of the music and the lyrics of the song and the awesome way that Eric Clapton has sang and composed it. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[242ls88]

Not a big Tom Cruise fan, but I must say, he played this part pretty well.You have to be a little cocky to be a great pool player, he pulled it off pretty well, good song for the movie, havent heard it for a while, that is the great thing about YT

[BOURBONJULIO]

I think 8-Ball is very appropiate for this song,..4 those of you still UP!

[Zardoz70062]

the 'holy cow' look on eddie / paul neuman's face @ 2:35 is just perfect.... lmao.

[bluesr4me]

The Best!!!

[Sonyag1]

Four people abuse it....

[Lichtfee004]

[LMmccallL57]

[BOURBONJULIO]

@illinifanish Good One!

[rock508]

one of my all time favs

[joeymoore1969]

Love it!



[gluserty]

Awesome tune; Mary Elizabrth Mastrantonio is great here.

[StarTrekGorilla]

The lament of Fast Eddie Felson

[MrGENOSTV]

we miss Paul Newman.

[juzz0]

"nobody's lonely 'till somebody's gone..."

such a powerful line.

[freebrook]

"It" is "The Gift" -- the original name of this song is "Its in the Way that You Use it (The Gift)". Its about how you use the gifts you are given.

[Zardoz70062]

i suspect there ware legal concsiderations involved.

[lurch321]

Eric, I appreciate you putting this on your Clapton Chronicles CD......................but WHY didn't you put it on your Clapton Chronicles video collection??

[nibornna]

i REALLY miss these day's! back when music rocked, movies were awesome, and heck even everyone loved Tom Cruise! i bet if i ask some people these day's who Paul Newman was they would look at me like im an idiot!! LONG LIVE THE 80's!!!

[RegencyRoyale]

'cept her! (no! that's not how you spell it!)...but if we were all in a lusch royal "purple" light and on a purple velvet table...either way! "8 ball side pocket"

[mrbenthebass]

awwsome nathan east is the man! what a bass riff

[levikayatt4]

@mrbenthebass I'm with u! Awesome player.

[jayhilgers]

Great Movie...THE GREAT Paul Newman....Great Actor....

[themusicgamer14]

When dislikers represent less than 1% on the voters, they're called douches.

When there are dislikers on a video like this, they can be called deaf

(I'm sorry,deaf people, I wish you could listen to this kind of music)

[Charango123quena]

"Clapton" , that's all you need to write

[Sonyag1]

Two people can't jam.....

[wilkester]

Great film, Great song. I love Paul Newman and Clapton so doesn't get much better than this

[dirtracer144]

One of my favorite songs and movies

[levikayatt4]

This guy is completly awesome, don't matter the music style, forever Clapton!

[DarthDrizzt]

The 80's had some damn good movie and TV singles and this is one of the best, from one of the best. 

[trekOCLVone]

Darn good stuff.

[gtdupree]

I agree, one of the most under-appreciated songs in the history of R&R.

[Zardoz70062]

The Color of Money... and Born on the Fourth of July were the only film with Tom Cruise I like...... and that's because the directors are great for them .

other film with Tom are all the same role.... boring.

[krnpowr]

Tom Cruise's screaming in this video is annoying and fucks up the video.

[candijdixon]

love the song and video :)

[1mouse69]

Another Clapton GREAT hit!!!!

[sacpelicancom]

Love this song. And very cool movie.

[80spoop72]

Again, underrated song from a legend.

[jimkelly812]

Fast Eddie Felson rules!!!

[KristyMusicLoren]

Tom wouldn't even be sexy to me, its the billard skills thats YUMMY SEXY!!!!!

[rikkster100]

To the people who say they hate Tom Cruise...have you ever met the man? I doubt it...he's an excellent, Oscar winning actor. Jealousy is an ugly animal...too many haters in this world

[constable1123]

when i here this i feel like i"m the shit nobody can fuck with me great damn movie to

[heavymetal929292]

This song is true. IT is the positive energies that come and go. You'll know when IT is around when something good happens, or you're in a good mood, stuff like that. When IT is gone, It's just the absence of IT, and when that happens just chill because IT comes and IT goes. It's in the way that you use IT. Don't you ever EVER abuse it. God bless ya people.

[Smackdaddy9]

@heavymetal929292 You are the biggest toss-off in the history of Youtube, is what I think.

[CitySkin09]

I loved how soundtrack cuts to films that were going to be released showed actual clips from the film. It made you want to go out and watch it, then buy the soundtrack. It was a win-win situation.

[Leftysfive93]

Love the song, thank you for uploading.

[labhunter1]

Awesome song and great musician! Clapton is great!

[NinerPoolGirl]

LOVE this song. but HATE, DESPISE Tom Cruise.. *gag*

[kevin122380]

Awesome song! The Color Of Money is a BAD ASS movie!!! Im not a fan of Tom Cruise but he was right on in this movie!!!!!!!!

[pattyajones]

Can't STAND Tom Cruise, but gotta love a video with Clapton and Paul Newman in it. ;)

[CallmeToddy]

Back when Music was ORIGINAL ! Back when Tom was Cruise ! Back when Actors were engaged ! Back when the masters struck up Great Pieces of Sound ! This is the Stuff !! =)

[414pwz]

E.C. wrote in his biography that this (mid 80s) was the pinnacle of his weakness regarding drugs and guitar playing. Seems pretty fitting to write a song about talent and how to use it while at rock bottom and then come back. Wish he would perform this song live.

[hindukush7]

We miss you Paul Newman!!! Great movie, great song!

[wilkester]

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!

[CitySkin09]

Fucking Fantastic Song!!

[jaseyday]

I have no fucken idea...On gods green earth..how Tom cruise.."I suck cock" made star of the millenium...It befuddles me...and irritates my ass to no end....Is hollywood and the masses it provides to so fucked up...People buy in to the lie...Cmon people...?

[PortiaJane]

Tom Cruise looks like such a ninny jumping around like that and howling like an idiot. Love Paul Newman though.

[100572a]

Eric Clapton was also one of the guitarists for Phil Collins band which you can even see for yourself in some of Phil Collins videos like Suissedio, Something Happened On The Way To Heaven, I Wish It Would Rain Down, etc.

[vodude]

@100572a Actually Eric was only in the video for "I Wish It Would Rain Down". The guy in the other videos was Phil's long time guitarist - Daryl Stuermer. They do look a lil bit alike though. 

[100572a]

@vodudeActually Phil Collins had 2 guitarist in his band and Daryl Stuermer was only one of them which was the bald guy with gray hair & a beard & Eric Clapton was the brunette bearded guitarist along with the fact that both Eric Clapton & Daryl Stuermer were both listed as the guitarist under the band members on Phil Collins albums, including the "But Seriously" album.

[vodude]

@100572a That's somewhat true but Eric only guested on Phil's album for that one song. Eric was never in Phil's band. Actually, Phil was in Eric's band (temporarily) & that was back in 1986 when Phil produced & played drums for the "August" album/tour. Daryl was always Phil's primary guitarist & he plays on all "But Seriously's" other songs except for "I Wish It Would Rain Down" & "Another Day in Paradise" which was played by Dominic Miller.

[familydude51]

this is defiantly one of his best songs in my opniion next to butterfly kisses and cocaine who could forget that amazing song eric is a music god and deserves to be rememberd for a very long time

[jakelinaj]

JAJAJAAAAAA

[latinlightning08]

Happy Birthday Clapton!

Some artists out there dream to have at least half of what you have made!

[FRSFreeState]

Great song and a great movie from the Color of Money especially for us pool players

[ashleyscarsgard]

I ♥ this song!!!! Not his best....LaYla is the best, but this one is fun and I love it...It also reminds me of my Dad in the 80"s...... I can close my eyes and remember riding in my Dad's Cuda going to Little champ and getting a snow cone...♥

[AmbitiousVisionary]

I have been playing this tune everywhere I can play it since it came out at private parties, and when I play it, attitudes change. This song and melody may not be a high seller, but it will surpass many tunes in longevity, because it's the truth! "It's in the way that you use it."

[crevdog77]

great song clapton at his best

[dsrocknroller]

proof that a "commercial" cut can rock - just add EC's smokin blues lead to a solid groove

[BMassey1987]

Bley sent me here, but Clapton is always badass in my book.

[brussellfruit619]

Thanks for downloading this video Yug89; this is my favorite song by Eric Clapton!

[terceldude]

This song was stuck in my head for all this time and I never knew who sang it and what it was called until now! :) Today is my lucky day! :)

[Rockyspirit83]

sir Eric Clapton !!! I like the end solo.

Thanks yug89. i forgot, good movie too.

[bytor55110]

I wish that the lowest bass part was amped up right at the end. I think it would give the coda of this song a lot better foundation.

[gluserty]

I recorded this video once; there shouldn't be any copyright nonsense involved; no one here is gaining coin, just enjoying tune.

[gluserty]

@gluserty My favorite Eric Clapton song also!

[shannony1000]

<3<3<3 This song

[6666666666666666665]

clapton kicks ass rocker since 1972

[johndoh4]

I really like the way this song starts out in the video, It give it even more energy than it already has. This song is great to play pool to by the way.

[a4238088]

Thanks for downloading this video of Eric Clapton on You Tube, I really do appreciate it, especially since this is my favorite song by Eric Clapton, but I just wanted to kindly point out to you that you misspelled Clapton by putting CALPTON instead of CLAPTON.

[johnboy860]

Tom cruise in this video cracks me up! When your young you don't know alot, but man you sure have fun in an ignorant kind of way!

[LesSmith45]

the solo in this just drives to the bone! hes squeezing tight making those strings cryyyyyyy!! Just burn a fat bar, close your eyes, put on your head phones and crank it at least level 10 for the next 4:08 you will know what i mean. this song is not only made to hear but under the above conditions this song is FELT! it just pours out of this man. Try it! And man i cant wait to see him Feb. 26 2011 in Seattle.

[Cullen1907]

i LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[pcheflori07]

[BryonYoungblood]

[dbwash1970]

This video has 2 of the greatest (sorry 3) of the greatest entertainers in the world, Paul Newman will be greatly missed.

[arni0101]

[iluvclubs]

[johnboy860]

This is my favorite Clapton song. Badass and extremely under appreciated!

[gluserty]

@johnboy860 Good film also. Great tune!

[missa605]

@johnboy860 i have to totally agree with you johnboy!

[gluserty]

@johnboy860 My personal favorite also; I was 15 years old, at a basement bar in Cleveland Drive. I lost the videotape, but have the memory:-)

[caw5951]

@johnboy860 Yes, I agree.

[minka75]

Love the song and the movie!

[ClarkCasctiv]

Paul Newman :D

[a4238088]

[mccartykred]

One of the best classics of Clapton and their is nothing that can compare to this song.
