[@michaeldavies4871]

In a Songfacts interview with Pete Brown, he told the story: "It was a meandering thing about a relationship that I was in and how I was at the time. It was a kind of watershed period really. It was a time before I stopped being a relative barman and became a songwriter, because I was a professional poet, you know. I was doing poetry readings and making a living from that. It wasn't a very good living, and then I got asked to work by Ginger and Jack with them and then started to make a kind of living. And there was this kind of transitional period where I lived in this actual white room and was trying to come to terms with various things that were going on. It's a place where I stopped, I gave up all drugs and alcohol at that time in 1967 as a result of being in the white room, so it was a kind of watershed period. That song's like a kind of weird little movie: it changes perspectives all the time. That's why it's probably lasted - it's got a kind of mystery to it.” So the truth is the meaning is best known to Pete Brown, but the thing that Brad needs to keep in mind, especially with music of the sixties, is that the meanings of many songs are vague and esoteric and it’s best to not get too hung up on them. The lyrics can be deep, they can be meaningful and they can also be the product of some drug-addled state of mind bullshit. In the case of White Room, the musicianship is the thing that makes this so memorable from the power of the Ginger Baker’s drumming to Clapton’s overdubbed guitars and wah-wah, to Jack Bruce’s driving baseline, it’s the seminal performance from the original power trio.

[@CrayCruz]

True that, the musicianship is so tasty, but the words wrap around it like a boa constrictor lovingly caressing it's prey, but not to hard mind you...just enough to say "honey, I'm home"

Lex, you nailed the guitar sound. Clapton used a pedal to create those "wah" sounds. It alters the tone as he works the pedal and sometimes creates a "hollowed out" tone.

I like the quality of your videos of your too, they're very clear and the sound quality is very good, and the graphics in the upper right hand corners are very cool! The lead guitarist in this band, Eric Clapton, is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame three times for the different bands he's been in including the Yardbirds, where he played with Jimmy Page who played guitar for Led Zepplin, once for Cream and once for his own solo career. He was in another band called Derek and The Dominos who made a legendary song "Layla" and they only released the one album. Layla was about a crush Clapton had on his friend George Harrison's wife, George being a guitarist in The Beatles! I know many people in the younger generation think writing songs about ex's and about OPP's is something new, but it's not! Taylor Swift sells 100 million albums about her ex, but in the 70's Stevie Nicks not only wrote songs about her ex Lindsey Buckingham, but she made him play guitar on the songs while she was singing them!

Cream was basically a some of the premiere brit blooze players of that era getting together to expand their horizons. They did a lot of psychedelic stuff, White Room being pre-eminent.

Lex you are both amazing and beautiful. You possess the innate soul of a natural poet.

Clapton is the goat! He can literally play everything psychedelic, blues, rock n roll, soul and reggae! He kills this song!

She totally gets my favorite music. Watching that young lady get 'turned on and tuned in' makes living a bit more bearable 🤗

You two remind me of the time I listened to rock music in the mid-80s with an elderly relative. I was just rocking out and she was trying to interpret the lyrics. Just sit back and let it wash over you, imaging the images, and letting it mean whatever want or mean nothing. Enjoy watching Lex groove to the wa wa pedal.

One of the all-time great songs and bands from my era! The wah wah was hitting its stride in this one. Ginger Baker had the drums really going.

Ever heard Tracy Chapman? Fast cars for you and mountain of things great songs but that whole albumn is a masterpiece with life messeges she is one of my favorite sings and writers of all time

[@baileybowman2449]

I loved her whole first album, every song, especially “Fast Car”. “Give me one reason” is my favorite song by her.

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

@@baileybowman2449 for you is the song that gets me the line no longer the master of my emotions and that verse then fast cars then mountain of things then talkin about a revolution but another song she wrote for another album is another sun but sade is the female vocalist I hold above all others
