Clapton, Eric - Magnolia Lyrics






Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You whisper "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there

    Downloaded this song yesterday to one of my yoga playlists. I am a yoga instructor and I always try to pick a touching song to end my classes with. I played this song this morning for Savassana, final rest. You know that you picked a good one, when someone in class is wiping away tears after class. Beautiful, sweet, and as Colton said, sublime. Does not get any better.

    K.... J....

    Wow. That's great. Good choice.

  19. S.... L....

    Wow...this is the most smoothe beautiful collaboration ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🎶🎶🎶👍✌️✌️🙏🕊🕊🕊🍁🍂🍁🍂😁🌹🌹🙌🙌🌟🔥🔥

  20. A.... J....

    Hey guys, I did a cover and music video for this song all by myself for the first time in my life. It would be cool if you could check it and help me and say what you thinking

  21. H.... K....

    The guitar parts played by eric and john are so similar, can anyone tell which part belongs to john?

  22. D.... H....

    The entire Album is superb. It was crafted with love and expertise from all who contributed...not least of which were the songs created by JJ Cale. I marvel at the song writing skills and am blown away by the musicianship on display. BUY THE ALBUM...it is a masterpiece.

  23. H.... H....

    JJ Cale is fairly one in a million

  24. C.... L....

    Who played the solo here ?

    C.... L....

    John mayer

  25. R.... ....

    Beautiful. Why the hell doesnt he have more versions? Why isn't JM playing this at his concerts? Why am I just hearing this song? Da fuq this is amazing!!

  26. C.... M....

    Oh my God, I just heard this song for the first time on wrfg. It is incredible.

  27. J.... A....

    I’m only here because Eric Clapton said so

  28. R.... C....

    Which part is eric clapton which part is john mayer

    R.... C....

    This song is all John Mayer

  29. W.... C....

    Tudo isso é muito bom, faz viajar ao infinito......onde não se encontrao que se busca na esperança de encontrar algo que não se tem.......

  30. b.... ....

    JJ: you're the best we ever had.

  31. S.... M....

    Me love John Mayer

  32. B.... H....

    Spanish Moss hanging, good bourbon and this song......ahhhhhhhh.

  33. J.... L....

    J.J. Cale you are not.

  34. s.... p....

    Thanks, this is nothing to jj cale, poco much better version than this one, this don't have the same music feel, yes it's skill but nothing special for me

  35. A.... D....

    John Mayer laid it down on this one. Actual perfection

  36. j.... b....

    He needs to stay with this format. This is great stuff. Really good guitar work. Normally he sounds like he's singing with a mouthful of liver.

  37. J.... L....

    Greatest guitar player of all time. Yep. I said it.

    J.... L....

    This isn’t even his really good guitar playing lol

  38. t.... p....

    Bruh I heard this song today and I've nearly played it 10 times.

  39. I.... B....

    This is what it's all about...touches a soul without even trying......MASTERPIECE

  40. N.... S....

    In New York i Milly ro-

    Oh wait, wrong song

    N.... S....

    Nicholas Skibenes said it’s only getting harder talking to you without falling down.. oh wait that’s wrong too

    N.... S....

    @Brandon Taylor Fuck dude, we suck

  41. T.... p....

    Does anyone have a piano sheet music for it

  42. S.... W....

    Comment 100.... yay Mayer

  43. L.... ....

    😍😢😔When you can feel this all the way deep down to your very soul and you feel like you’re actually the words being sung and guitar being strummed. 😍😔

    L.... ....

    I need some of the acid you're on😂 jk I like that description!

  44. L.... ....

    👍😍I absolutely love him!! 😍

  45. D.... L....

    ვით ფოთოლი შენიიიი მზეზე მოციმციმეეეე დდდ

  46. O.... S....

    Very underrated cover.

  47. A.... C....

    This song is the best I've ever had...

    A.... C....

    Hahaaa indeed

  48. C.... ....

    I think trying to learn to play these licks with Mayer's touch and feel will give you 90% of what you need to accompany simple tunes in a major key. (Not that I'll ever get there, but I think its worth the effort.) Study the masters.

  49. S.... D....

    So good I wanna cry.

  50. B.... S....

    What a beautiful song

  51. P.... M....

    Like Mr. Clapton said "He doesn't know how good he is"

    P.... M....

    Philip Murray you mean God Clapton

    P.... M....

    bravo!!!

    P.... M....

    He knows exactly how good he is don't worry . And so does anyone else who picks up a guitar . Myself included . John is one of the finest players and song writers of this generation .

    P.... M....

    Yes dude

    P.... M....

    @James RyanNice song but COMPARE TO CLAPTON-NO!

  52. C.... ....

    Playboy Carti

  53. R.... M....

    I personally like technical metal where you can do aloe of extremely difficult and fast solos but this John Mayer solo really touches my soul and makes me want to switch

    R.... M....

    Rick Mason do it

    R.... M....

    dont think its easy to play that smooth and soulful

    R.... M....

    Try it, what do ya got to lose?

    R.... M....

    You don't need to switch. Neither genre is going anywhere, swim in both.

    R.... M....

    Nyxtia truer words, couldn’t have said it better

  54. n.... ....

    yo pierre you wanna come out here

  55. R.... K....

    bought this the day I came out Embossed cover 3 sides lp I laid my needle on it twice

  56. r.... ....

    John Mayer's studio albums are the most disappointing in history. Not one of them displays his ridiculous guitar playing talent. Only when you hear or see him live do you find out that he's one of the best guitarists ever.

    r.... ....

    @Sricharan C There it is, this random dude's 12 year old daughter's (who isn't capable of understanding songs completely) is put off by the lyrics on two of his more underwhelming albums so therefore, it's all bad. BTW Mayer is way better than anyone in Steely Dan. Neon proves this.

    r.... ....

    @Sricharan C Also, you're subbed to Vox, LOL

    r.... ....

    @Harris I guess my 12 year old picks up things you cannot.

    r.... ....

    @Harris Just that comment shows you don't know that Steely Dan is basically two guys with a changing roster of some of the finest musicians. Anyway, my original comment has been twisted, layered, misread, misinterpreted in several ways and it doesn't matter anymore.

    r.... ....

    @Harris Too much time on your hand, eh?

  57. A.... P....

    So beautif
    R.I.P JJ .MISS YOU

  58. A.... L....

    Happy birthday, EC! RIP JJ💙 SOONERNATION

  59. J.... B....

    Those are the tastiest licks

  60. L.... S....

    I think this is one of the best things I've ever heard. <3

    L.... S....

    Liz Schultz I’m with you on that. I think this is my 20th time listening to it today. No kidding either!! 😔

  61. B.... M....

    mayer has come a long way from his bubble gum pop start. as a guitarist he deserves full respect.

    B.... M....

    @andytim Go watch his performance in LA from 2007. That's what sold me on Mayer.

    B.... M....

    @Garrett Hinson nah, let these old farts be unindated with Bieber, Sheeran, Mendes, Ariana Grande, etc. Those old farts don't deserve JM

    B.... M....

    @mmafan2223 It's funny because all of them worship the ground Eric Clapton walks on and he called John Mayer a master guitar player.

    B.... M....

    @mmafan2223 There are two reasons to discredit John Mayer's talent - jealousy or musical ignorance.

    B.... M....

    andytim if that’s ur opinion then I respect that however I’m just gonna say I strongly disagree with what u said. I will say John is An Extremely Deep Person and has written a lot of Songs That Can without a doubt make someone emotional. I think he’s an amazing song writer and the last of a dying breed of musician. There’s a reason he was the one to Induct SRV into the Rock N Roll HOF. He was the heir apparent to Stevie. As u can tell, I’m a giant John Mayer fan. But Ur opinion is ur opinion.

  62. D.... B....

    Can't touch Pat Travers version.

    Quería saber el origen de la canción de su video y
    El tema es muy lindo

    B.... F....

    Yo! Me encanta el nombre desde que conozco la canción

  69. M.... T....

    Such a lovely masterpiece made for rainy days. This is definitely one of those songs that makes a person feel both nostalgic and sad while still assuring there's a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel. It's perfectly acceptable to live in the past every now and then as long as it's just a temporary state of things.

  70. L.... H....

    Thanks John Mayer you are good, and very close to sounding like J.J. But he just had that timing with how he sang the lyrics. It is like listening to a comedian trying to do Red Skelleton jokes, or I love Lucy. I will listen for songs sang by you John Mayer.

    L.... H....

    so funny and perfect discription

  71. L.... H....

    It's really funny those great musicians and song writers just cannot be replaced. But that is a good thing. J.J. Cale will not ever be forgotten. That is because younger song writers are finding how great he really was. Thanks Eric those you tubes of you and J.J. Cale I can see that love you two had for the music, and all the laughter.

  72. N.... ....

    It's awesome as fuck
    But no way near the original
    No way near Cale.

  73. S.... P....

    Love this song

  74. L.... A....

    Wey q rolota

  75. N.... N....

    R.I.P. to an absolute legend.

  76. G.... O....

    Can't explain how good this is.

  77. R.... V....

    love jj cale.....great tribute....

  78. F.... M....

    This is an amazing, brilliant & emotionaly cool JM-Signature Song!!🎶 Thanks Eric & John❤️

  79. 7.... ....

    hey, could you make your video accessible for mobile? thanks!

  80. m.... b....

    thanks J. M. for this cut/..PERFECT
    hope you discover more of J.J.' s tunes
    i fell into the wormhole about 1990 after seeing J.J. live twice in a year or so
    both shows a world apart from one another
    studied all the albums since then
    stood in the front row at crossroads 2004 when E.C. sat in
    very exciting.... how it fueled the fire even more/???
    shook J.J.'s hand at NAMM
    still deep in it ...thanks to all of you
    had to cancel rodeo clown school ..YO...LOL

  81. s.... �....

    Just wooonderful!

  82. C.... A....

    what a masterpiece! Two of my favorite people in the world! This is everything I wish I could tell you RP. I fucking miss you, you´re driving me mad. You´re my magnolia.

  83. O.... F....

    #OdedMusic #OdedFriedGaon #Audioded

  84. B.... J....

    The rake at 2:26 gives me the chills every time! The guitar playing in this is masterful and it truly an amazing compliment to the already incredible original by J.J. Cale.
    Bought this album a year back and still listen to it regularly. Perfection👌🏻

    B.... J....

    Bryn James that’s a mini sweep! So good

  85. M.... G....

    THAT is a killer solo.

    M.... G....

    There was no solo

  86. T.... P....

    first time in decades my magnolia is blooming this year.
    I saw the man of my youth and heard his pleas ok then sit down with daddies
    and ask how spoiled is bad for the baby girls♡? OK with allusions and gumbo what does night tripper have to expound upon this subject interested in other points of view. well, look in trippersnlubrary. then ask.
    sldc

  87. Q.... M....

    beautiful

  88. C.... V....

    THE BEST THERE IS I DO LOVE IT.

  89. K.... ....

    love love love this song

  90. S.... ....

    R.I.P.
    JJ C.

    S.... ....

    ich will niemanden die zeit
    stehlen
    und mir schon gar nicht
    ich mag dich ernsthafft
    ich sag nur wies ist!

  91. C.... M....

    This song is indescribably sublime. Absolutely chilling.

    C.... M....

    Colton Milbrandt ah that’s a good word that fits

  92. L.... P....

    If master Clapton says it's good, then you better damn well believe it because Mayer doesn't get any better than this.

    L.... P....

    oh yes he does get better than this

    L.... P....

    lulus panjulus Mayer is playing something that easy but making it so unique and melodic as nobody else

    L.... P....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DfQC5qHhbo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K2DQ8XBRbU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PJfi5plMRo You sure about that? These are three recordings that I feel really show John's mastery. his ability not to just play the right note, but the play the right note the right way.

    L.... P....

    john just take record this song only once or two take, its incridble to be a musician can do this

    L.... P....

    yes he does, covered in rain

  93. Y.... R....

    ...so good...

    Y.... R....

    Is there a live version of this

  94. W.... C....

    Clapton and Tom Petty sounding just like the Master himself  :_(

    W.... C....

    Wallace-Glenn Cernak Petty was on this album, but had no part in this track. This is John Mayer on vocals and electric guitar and Clapton on harmony and acoustic.

  95. C.... R....

    Great song ! I love it !!!
