“Layla” by Derek and the Dominos (1970)
When talking about messy situations, falling for your closest friend’s girl is definitely an example. Eric Clapton is no stranger to this. He fell madly in love with his best friend’s (George Harrison) wife, Pattie Boyd. Ergo he wrote “Layla”, a blues-rock song which clearly expresses his unhealthy fascination in Boyd. The song didn’t impress Pattie…at first. However, in 1974, Clapton and Boyd started living together. By 1979, the two had exchanged vows! The song doesn’t seem the least bit ineffective at all.
