I'm Going Left by Eric Clapton

It's great to discover songs and artists by listening to an artist that usually listen to then finding out that the song is just a cover from another artist you didn't appreciate before. For me, it starts a snowball effect of listening to the original song and eventually appreciating the original artist more 'til he becomes an eventual favorite of yours.

Looking at the credits of this song, I found that it was originally by Stevie Wonder. I just love how happy this song sounds.


(Well) I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right

There's a train people say
I could ride to get my whole life straight
But the bridge on the way
Has a toll too much for me to pay
Yes I know it must be
What I chose could mean my destiny
Lights are green all is go
But my heart keeps telling my mind no

(Well) I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right


There's a plane over there
Where all are given even share
What you get is so small
It's like never having nothing at all
Take my hand says a friend
A will stick with you until the end
But I'm in doubt I must decline
'Cause even friends can change their lines

(Well) I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
