Forever Man
Eric Clapton Lyrics

@Vickvineager

There’s not a single person who captivated the 80’s like Slowhand did. One cannot think of the big 80’s without thinking Clapton. I love how he grew with & through the decades. From lay down sally in the 70’s to forever man in the 80’s to tears in heaven in the 90’s. There are way too many to list from each decade, but you get the point.

@jimoleesyt1577

Layla

@micheleannthomas116

You are young. Start with the 60s.

@MitchClement-il6iq

He was great through the 60s especially..but 70s as well! Then 80s 90s he was clear minded and sober which was some best times 4 sure.

@SlimJones62

I can listen to this forever, man

@brianmcdonald7017

I see what you did there

@richardfonger987

Funny Guy!

@kwl120365

Agreed, and multiple bonus points for the Eastwood profile pic. You and I appear to have at least two things very much in common.

@melissasteliga3479

Now I like à country boy

@BladeR2049

Like forever man

@cathyjacobs

It's like the guitar is an extension of his body. He's been my favorite singer/guitarist since I was 14, and I'm almost 69. I love how humble he is, too.

@connievino4226

Me too.

@dylanmason4235

SIXTY NINE

@peeweesmellyrat

This song came out my senior year in high school. 38 years later, still love it...

@JammyTom

It's one of my favorite guitars solo

@shaiellemansion9549

This song just takes off with a Bang right from the start....no build up...just bam...love it!

@johntweedly8170

Absolutely just feel it just as so good

@johntweedly8170

Just freaking Great

@johntweedly8170

Freaking fantastic tune

@jackpierre1839

he was always really good at that. he does that in "its in the way that you use it" too. no buildup just a bang from the beginning

@mjs3764

Probably one of the greatest guitar riffs/solos ever.

@pjj9491

PRETENDING...LOL

@johntweedly8170

Wow best of Clapton. He would be pissed knowing Biden jams to it

@alpdesis805

@@johntweedly8170hahaha is there a footage where he jams? Video or link maybe? 😂

@calvinmatthews4426

One of my favorite Clapton solo songs.

@ocfri

Still listening in 2021... this guy will go down in history as a rock god. I miss this kind of music. We need more guitar gods!! Someone please take up the mantle!❤️

@Mark-pp7jy

Watch the live version of Candy Dulfer playing "I can't make you love me". The young lead guitarist is phenomenal!

@billphipps8875

Joe bonamassa 🎸

@sallymullins1328

Lovey those days are done glad we had them but keep on growing babe 😺❤️

@christiane.g.4142

Sadly, the music industry has been put to death by rap crap and hippity hop! Real music like this with real emotions is never coming back

@BladeR2049

@Christian e.g. Nothing wrong with rap or hip hop love all music

@keithsage7258

Who can't love Eric Clapton...This is my generation..75 years old and stills rocks to the best..

@MsJustMe50

Love Clapton then and now. Timeless music and artist

@kurtistjones6337

That solo is out of this world. Makes my hair stand up

@AGTsakumis

Is there a solo ever done by Clapton that doesn't do that? 😉

@pogoskitgod7850

I agree. Joe bonamassa is amazing tho. Better. Way better than eric Hendricks and page. Look up Joe

@jameswilliamson7384

@pogo skit god ! you are funny

@DarthYasen

Dude I like Joe's playing, but he himself will tell you he is a tribute guitarist(I'm not judging he is 100x better than I'll ever be, but his stuff isn't all that unique)

@jonnyweiss6083

Totally Bro.’ Jonny Weiss 🎶

@dwjazz88

Clapton always kills it!🤘👍

@carolynmoler7630

Still an incredible solo!! Timeless!!

@georgemelvin7187

Smiles, hi Carolyn 🌺 😊

@blessedbygodjesuslovesme8750

Simply put, Eric Clapton is magically released into the universe for all to enjoy🎸. I thank him for sharing his undeniable talents👍. In my very wild days decades ago, I attended one of his concerts. I pray for good health to him & his family💙

@davidbagunya9306

I love this voice, it gives all the songs a lot of strength! Clapton is a very talented musician.

@msstevie1951

This song always sounds good no matter how many years pass by.....♥

@juliopaillaman7036

te gusta eric buenisima reina linda igul ue tu

@SGTPROVO

I think as a man I can say the same about you and how you look no matter how many years go by, all the best, Paul

@peterdolan1787

Eric is absolutely supreme. My mom bought me his autobiography. I am a massive fan. His music shall never die. 😍

@seishsmom638

I've loved him since I was 14...........I saw him live in 1975 at Stanford University......and every concert after....I'm 62 and he's still my #1.

@brad2737

You'll never be as cool as Eric Clapton shredding in a trench coat.

@Sammydx1

Wouldn't dare try

@mikelgubanez1796

You sir are correct

@brandonlynch3722

With the collar up

@benlaskowski357

No one beats the best, though many try.

@davidmarakovits7003

Say no more!!!

@kenyongray2615

Eric Clapton is no doubt one of the greatest musical performers of any era. Nuff said.

@1986jazzman

Amazing vocals, superb guitar solo. 👍

@jigc23

No other song brings my soul up so high as this one does, it just got the perfect sound. I bet I could resurrect to this song

@bmmyday2401

I love his music !!!

@maureenb1764

Fast Approaching 80 years old and the man and his music still does it for me....

@RandyFelts2121

God bless you.

@MICKLUVR

I am 55 and never really thought of dating someone in their 70's but when I think of Eric, Mick ,Rod, Bruce, Steven Tyler and Smokey I might change my mind LOL.

@rebecca75588

Totally

@FunkyDPL

This is song #2 on our marriage soundtrack album. We hadn't been dating too long when I realized she was the one and I truly wanted to be her forever man. There were some bumps and turns, but we've made it through over 30 years together so far!

@elizabethmcleod246

What song is number 1?

@FunkyDPL

@Elizabeth McLeod It's #1 in order, not in ranking, but here it is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNgcYGgtf8M

@elizabethmcleod246

FunkyDPL I forgot all about that song. From a man’s perspective of course it’s a great song! ❤️

@RobGordon35

Quality never goes out of style....

@faithbowen9433

So glad I've seen his concert!
This is my favorite Clapton tune. ❤

@bertvanstaveren3178

Has always been one of my favourite Clapton songs...

@johnnyrotten6753

One of the best Clapton hits of the 80's..✌

@tracytaylor1513

Really one of the best songs

@azspotfree

Immortal old school rock and roller in a league of his own

@kristinajanssens9357

I feel all his love and pain in the song but specially in the guitar. This is love

@Tubes12AX7k

One of Clapton's greatest songs, ever.

@Burgieking1

Make it his VERY best

@jengable4888

There are too many !

@MitchClement-il6iq

Yes one the greatest but not the greatest.

@patriciablea6467

Timeless! With the great Jeff Porcaro of Toto on drums.

@maxdubois2872

Hi Patricia

@davidcastelli7893

Guessing here, Lenny Castro on Conga?

@Jaime0110

@waynedrum1001

​@Ciaran Mcginn Nathan East

@coldwinter5710

One of his VERY BEST albums

@silversliver1592

@PatrickDiAngelo

Dope song...Long live the '80 s...!!

@davidmartrano1549

What a legend. One of the best, if not thee best? There will never be another!

@danmuffley6418

One of my all time favorite songs.

@franciscoortegaarevalo9260

Eric por siempre estrella. Tu lirismo y tu virtuosa manera de "hacer hablar" la guitarra: son un "don" de talento superior.

@robdijkhof204

Eric Clapton is the best guitarplayer BY FAR! Love this song.

@johnsmith-ug5tp

I bought this cassette the day this came out on MTV. This song/album aged very well and still sounds great.

@cid1986

Eric's guitar tone on Forever Man is really something ... I wonder how he did that 😍🤩

@fumingriley

and he's playing "blackie" in this video

@MentorLoshi

Just as a side note: Steve Lukather plays rhythm guitar on this track.

@Golfer964

This is a fantastic song and video, I can't believe it didn't get more recognition, it's great!

@eddyredmond7758

Totally awesome!!! One of the all time greats in rock!!!

@KatieAMinor

Handsome and a genius musician in every decade. Love this song

@NYCrazyRob

Just heard this song for the first time on the radio yesterday and now I'm hooked.

@rsgirrl

Yikes, were you just born! Or did you change from Rap to real, music 🎶 😆

@davidringo1399

@Hello, It’s Me🌺 hahahaha

@bfischer2473

I can listen to this forever, man!!!!!!!!!!!

@shari382

Soooo good!

@Cartier_specialist

Three minutes and 20 seconds of pure bliss.

@sucrisp

Song for to dance!!! Amazing, Eric!!!

@BrickAcurra

@richardlee1972

Agreed !

@elianeoliveiraoliveira4714

Amoooo suas canções 😍😍😍

@michaelgardner7498

No one could ever be as cool as Eric Clapton

@tatechasers2393

How many times must I tell you, baby?
How many bridges I've got to cross?
How many times must I explain myself?
Before I can talk to the boss
'Fore I can talk to the boss
How many times must I say, "I love you"
Before you finally understand?
Won't you be my forever woman?
I'll try to be your forever man (forever man)
Try to be your forever man
How many times must I say, "I love you"
Before you finally understand?
Won't you be my forever woman?
I'll try to be your forever man
Try to be your forever man (forever man)
Forever man, forever man, forever man (forever man)
Forever man, forever man, forever man
Try to be your forever man
Forever man, forever man, forever man (forever man)
Forever man, forever man, forever man (forever man)
Forever man, forever man, forever man (forever man)
Try to be your forever man

@Brio-ko8lf

Unbelievable!!!! Like no other!!🎸🤘🏻😎

@handyhanks

His live shows are awesome,this band has some of the best sound engineers in the biz..!!

@coldwinter5710

No doubt! He's AMAZING in concert!

@patriciaaufiero3023

This song Rocks! Eric Clapton is Great!

@lmackinnon80

An incredibly uplifting, energising song I love as much as ever in 2019! 🎸

@del1rn

Absolutely great in every way ... vocals & guitar!

@GalaxyHasADimpleButt

This has been one of my faves for about 20 years now 💞☀️🌻👏👏

@ashleeritter4846

This is how I will always remember Clapton looking no matter how old he gets!! Love this song and video

@silentpro

Always loved this song, and the video is great even after the camera crashed they didn't miss a beat! He indeed is the best :P

@FrankJosephcpa

Amazing song structure backing vocals unbelievable rhythm section and a signature lead solo by Clapton these lyrics awesome what amessage something that BB King might have sung

@kaushikganguli4602

The entire Behind the Sun album was underrated yet lethal. Came at a difficult time in his life, but the end product was amazing. Spent my college days listening to this song on loop.

@dharmabeachbum6330

Too cool! This has been my favorite video since this great song was released. Nobody - and I mean nobody - pulls this look off better than EC. And, yeah, the solo is among the best ever.

@hoodnigga111111

Guitar solo so simple yet breathtaking and tasty with a stinging fire. This is why Clapton is one of the G.O.AT.S

@silversliver1592

Clapton & Collins dominated the 80s relentlessly, they also did work on each others albums, what a unit they turned out to be as i called them CAPTAIN & CRUNCH

@anndominici1455

Every time I see Eric play, I wonder where the man ends and the guitar begins; they always seem as one.

@beowulf3075

I really love this song as well, and the vid. Eric has made a fantastic contribution to music, a real thorobred.

@adamwilliams5372

If you first see him here he looks like he works in IT. Then he picks up his guitar and starts to sing and you realise he's a BOSS

@teresacacciapaglia3830

One of his best! He looks great too.

@metroi7622

Still gives me goosebumps.

@harrow2355

Thanks for all the music Eric,cant stop loving the groove guitar,cheers.

My favorite Clapton tune!

@lizschuller6894

This song is so good. it draws you in. Love it. I would love to hear this on the radio while driving. Clifton , NJ.

@TNbear0126

I remember thinking those two backup singers had it going on, even as a younger pup. I really do now. I always loved this song/video. That main riff, the solos, the singers, Duck Dunn on bass, etc. the @behind the scenes” vibe with all the fear being seen/shown, the trench coat, etc. haven’t seen this in 25+ years!

@juliebraithwaite1794

Great voice, EC.

@Jaime0110

Not just that he is a master of the guitar, but he is a massively underrated singer!

@glenharrison2117

My favorite guitarist of ALL time 🎸🍻

@victorialevy431

He'll always be my forever man. He is fantastic, handsome, talented and a real bad ass! My kind of man.

@georgemelvin7187

Smiles, hello Victoria 🌺 😊

@victorialevy6689

Hello handsome.

@ruthduran9888

Eric Clapton is just an amazing artist where backbin the late 90's going to the concert was just an experience that will always keep those memories alive
Thank you Eric Clapton 🎶

@wolfedavid3700

baqckbin.............

@debzest4life37

If this song doesn't get you rocking nothing will.....just give me more of the good stuff....near perfection.

@Chatti16

I kept on coming back to this absolutely fantastic video of you Eric! Only you could have done this wonder in a trenchcoat! Plus the strength in your voice and playing just takes me into another world filled with Peace.. so confident I Love this and what more can I say about you? I’ll leave it there.. you shall FOREVER BE MY FOREVER MAN💙

@randalmayeux2288

Great performance! Vocals are right on, and of course the guitar work in the Stratosphere.

@joeyaerosmith

Love this song !!!

@lobodesertico11

1:21 increíble

@tomgeorgearts

I remember hearing this for the first time. When his guitar solo tore in, it was clear that this was the return after his lost years. The playing fluid, the voice strong, mature and more confident - and sober! A lot of great music followed.

@franciscodanielsansonefalq3515

tengo 66 años, y desde que sigo a guitarristas,Clapton es de los mejores,por suerte puedo decir que lo vi tocar en vivo, aquí en Montevideo,por los años 80,recital que dio en el Estadio Centenario, noche sublime, gracias por existir y hacernos escuchar esa guitarra.

@paulnilsson3058

My favourite song by Eric Clapton.

@otherworld11

this guy can play guitar with anyone in any era.

@sixstringsforever
