Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood’s “Can’t Find My Way Home” Brings Blind Faith Back To Life

Crossroads Guitar Festival, 2007

Performing “Can’t Find My Way Home,” for the first time in years, is Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood, along with Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall. Bringing it all the way back to Blind Faith, Clapton and Winwood’s original UK band with Ginger Baker and Ric Grech, it has to be a decent amount of years since they had performed this classic together.

Interesting Fact: A common misconception is that Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood reunited at the Crossroads Guitar Festival, July 28, 2007, however, the first true live reunion occurred two months earlier at an event called Countryside Rocks at Highclere Castle, Hampshire, UK on May 19, 2007.

Written and sung by Winwood, “Can’t Find My Way Home” found itself on the band’s 1969 album, Blind Faith. Resembling a similar sound to Winwood’s Traffic, rather than Clapton’s Cream, the song generally showcases the rarity gem of Clapton’s acoustic playing, minus this performance in particular.

+ Can’t Find My Way Home Lyrics +

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone, somebody must change
You are the reason I’ve been waiting so long, somebody holds the key
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone, somebody must change
You are the reason I’ve been waiting all these years, somebody holds the key
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home
