I decided to start doing a string of cover versions from my backlog, and this is the first one up. It's a wonderfully tender song, written and performed originally by one of the greatest musicians on earth. Eric Clapton.
The song is about the loss of his son. Being a father, I find it difficult to comprehend the sadness of that kind of loss. My child is my life. I felt for him deeply when I first heard this song. So I sung it with him in my mind, because he is the one that has to face every day without his son.
I suppose this goes as well for anyone who has lost a child.

I hope you like my interpretation.

  • Yep, this is a great cover. Absolutely spot on.

  • @FortuneFaded101

    Thank you. I've always liked a bit of clapton.

    More for his guitar playing than his voice :)

    This one is a pleasure to sing though :)

  • perfect! wow!

  • Thank you Lea. This is one of those songs that feels really good to sing. It's more than just music and words. I saw you sing too so you'll know what I mean :)

  • for reference covers usually show how to play the music

  • Really?

    I guess that makes mine unusual then :)

    Thank you. I've done quite a few vids on here now. Some have been quite true to the originals. Some have used the same music but vocally different. Some of them are my own versions musically and vocally and there are also a good number of my own songs :)

  • Holly crap you sing?!

    its Sound SAME!

    NICE man!

    Tech me how!

  • cover just means a cover of a song, you're wrong.

  • no, it just makes it not a cover

    and a cover can also be if you as a musician perform it now that i think about it

  • Excellent cover man. Really beautiful and haunting.

  • Hey nice! Please check out my version, isnt anywhere as good as this but, I still tried. 5* !
