One advantage of being isolated from most pop culture is that "famous" songs aren't ruined. For me, the instrumental coda makes Layla. The first four minutes are good, but they're only a setup for the perfection that follows.

^Oh I agree completely & in my opinion the "fast" version that Clapton does without the instrumental at the end just kinda leaves ya hangin' - "where's the exit?". But I think what I was saying in my list was that because the song is so popular, and the exit music is used a lot for media purposes, that the meaning of the song is somewhat lost in the culture, I suppose? Something like that. No bother, it's still about unrequited love and angst, still a great shout & arguable one of the saddest songs ever.

A song I always start to well up on, and yes I can admit this is Cats in the Cradle, the original version.

On a similar song, Bowling for Soup - When We Die, if I'm watching the video, its more so than if I'm just listening, and for some odd reason, Atreyu - The Theft, when I'm watching the video.
