Great Songs - Part 1

I have a compiled a list of songs that I liked over the years. Videos for most of these songs have been uploaded to youtube by different folks. God bless them. Some of these are original, some are not. These links worked when I posted them but that is no guarantee that the links will continue to work in future. I am sure you will find some of your favorites among them. This list is not in any specific order.


My Father's Eyes - Eric Clapton
There are fans of Eric Clapton that think Clapton is GOD!. This is one of the best songs from Eric Clapton. He never knew who his father was, as he was a product of a brief encounter between 16-year-old Patricia Clapton and a 24-year-old Canadian soldier stationed in England during the Second World War, Eric Clapton was raised by his grandparents in Ripley, a village outside London. In 1985, Mr. Clapton told his biographer "I never met my father, and I realized that the closest I ever came to looking into my father's eyes was when I looked into my son's eyes." But tragically his 5 year old son had died in 1991 in an accidental fall from his New York high rise apartment. It is this tragic sense of loss -- of his father and of his son .. that echoes in this song.The above youtube video is not original.


I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2
Nice song from Joshua Tree album. I am sure everybody knows that feeling.

There is a certain vulnerabilty in the voice of this singer that makes this song interesting.
