Behind the Sun, 1985
Written by Jerry Lynn Williams
This week is all about 1985!
A song born of frustration. Clapton was separating from his wife at the time, and Warner Brothers commissioned Williams, a singer and composer, to write this song about not connecting with a loved one. Clapton puts a lot of energy into his strong vocals, and there's a brief "Layla"-like guitar solo in the middle. For me, though, it's too '80s slick, with too much keyboard and backing vocal. Let Clapton be Clapton, I say! (Musically, I mean, not when he has his shitty political opinions.)
