Other way around...

This song represents the epiphany one could experience from the most mind-boggling sexual experience possible this side of the great beyond. Starts out slow and reaches a frenzied climax and then nothing but mellow... no "stone left unturned" during the exploration. Senses amplified... like the first time... which is why you can listen to it for 50 years and it never fades...

This song is about Heroine, not Cocaine.

The song is not about love, that's the outer meaning. The song's about coke. Clapton being the delta blues admirer that he is was influenced by Charlie Patton. The original has a spoken part that starts with "I'm about to go to jail about this spoonful". -Old Detroiter....

I'm 57 and heard this so many times and I never never never tire of it. The riffs just seem to roll along so effortlessly and the changes are so spontaneous and natural. This is a-fucking-mazing...
Have to listen to all 16 plus minutes and get totally stoned.

The cool thing about Cream was that it wasn't just Clapton being backed up by two other guys, but all three were great improvisors. What you had was basically three guys soloing a the same time, battling each other. Made for some pretty exciting music.
