Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer,
And all the time I know,
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow
Looking for a reason to check out of my mind,
Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on,
But there's nothing left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, so let it grow, let it grow
Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do
Only ask and you will get what you are needing,
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow

Never understand the appeal of EC unless you're a fan of his anti-vacc, politically right wing views. Ironic that he's famous for playing the blues (sigh!)

You are no position to tell anyone to keep anything off of RP. Vaccination doesn't work like that you idiot. You aren't going to listen to any scientific or rational explanation so let me just say this. If you were around during Polio - you would shut your fucking mouth.

Hey Asshat jelgator fuck off - and don't get vaxxed - and go to the hospital with Corona and stay there. Clapton wasn't looking too good there during corona. People in positions of power should be wary of their politics when they are stupidly fucking wrong. Vaccination for Corona has been a pretty decent success, vaccination in general is an amazing human scientific success. If you don't remember Polio - you are lucky.

Also what a narcissist, stealing his best friends wife and not a single mention of his poor suffering wife that went through the same or worse agonies.

Radio Luxembourg as well.
Back in the 1970's radio in the UK kinda sucked. If you wanted anything other than pop you had few choices as there was the Allen (Fluffy) Freeman Show and Radio Caroline when you could get it. I remember hearing Let it Grow on Caroline one night in 1975 and hopping the train down London to buy the album. Caroline and Freeman were my RP back then and they cost me a whole lot of money for the same reason. Much cheaper to go on Amazon and buy a CD than catch a train to get a Clapton fix.
Still, those were great adventures and completely worth getting grounded when caught.
Radio Luxembourg as well.

Gave this a 10 because always loved this song
Bill have you ever thought about increasing the ratings to above 10?
Why have I always thought this was by The Strawbs?!?!
I agree that Clapton's anti-vaccine diatribe is not helpful, but I do not think it comes from a place of ignorance. He is a former heroine addict who developed a huge fear of needles because of that. Even so, he STILL got his first shot which had to take a lot of bravery but it made him very sick as it has done for more than a few people. It was like having his worst fears about the vaccine realized. If I had gone through that I might have been skeptical too. The vaccine, while being the BEST answer for this crisis, is not the PERFECT answer for this crisis. Read the Rolling Stone article below:

Reading through the comments, it hurts to realize just how jaded and cynical people have become since the days when musicians were trying to promote peace and love through their music. This isn't a great song, but it doesn't deserve the villification it's getting here. Sign of the times, I suppose.

Since Led Zeppelin borrowed the melody from Spirit, this would be a rather brash thing for him to do.
Simply a great album and this is one of my favorite tracks. I wonder did Jimmy Page contact Clapton about the opening riff which is a straight lift from Stairway to Heaven? But I guess being 2 of the worlds greatest ever guitarists they couldn't be arsed!

"Love is lovely" - no excrement, Sherlock. This coming from a guy infamous for a reactionary racist rant live in concert ;-\
Thought this was Ween at first
Good grief! I didn't realise people were still playing/listening to Clapton?
When this album came out, my boyfriend sang this to me when we started dating.
Going on 47 years later, married, still letting it grow.
love is lovely ♥

Yeah, I saw that tour at Three Rivers in Pittsburgh. Great show. There were four acts. The first I cannot remember, but there was Todd, then The Band and finally Eric. We actually got to see the Aurora that night driving back home to Cleveburg as we drove past the Lordstown Chevy plant on the Ohio Turnpike. Ah yes, in my 73 VW bus that was my 21st B Day present to myself.
The show was marred by EC getting hit in the face by a bottle rocket. He stopped the show and expressed his displeasure and told everyone to knock it off or the show would stop. Three Rivers was notorious for heavy duty fireworks in the 70's. I remember the Floyd WYWH concert where someone dropped an H - 100 from the seats above me and it went off basically right next to me. I cannot recall going to anymore concerts there after that.
And yes, this is a great album. Solid from start to finish. Has my all time favorite version of Motherless Children to mention just one more track.
This was a great album when it came out & has held up for me over the years. I saw him on the album tour, where he played most of and a lot of his signature blues jam. Good memories.

Although I'm not a fan of Clapton (famous for not being able to keep his hands of other people's girlfriends and ended many bands and collaborations.) I understand he's popular and a good guitar player. But frankly where I grew up, guitar players sitting in a living room sounded better. But I'm from the land of JJ Cale which Eric despite his best efforts could not emulate him. Listen to Living on Tulsa Time where he gives it a go. Nice try, Eric.

I think the Stairway thing is also called contrapuntal lines.
Whoa that riff sounds like the one in Stairway to Heaven -
I hear butterflies ,arpeggio and a violin , I hear the whole orchestra and I feel happy hearing this great song : )
I hear some arpeggio playing similar to Stairway to Heaven by Led Zep. Anybody else hear it?
Would anybody ever say that painting with a red color is a imitation because some other artist had used that color already ?
Bach and Beethoven both utilized arpeggio. The Star Spangled Banner as well.
Did Led Zeppelin rip them off? Or is it painfully obvious that they did not?

growing up and staring at a cell phone all day and everyday may alter anybody's mind and as you can see just about everybody loves this great tune
What a horrible, post-60s, bad Beatles imitation piece of junk. Sorry, but this doesnt belong here.
I never had any idea this is Eric Clapton . This is so very pleasant , undisturbed, peaceful , friendly and unpretentious melody.
Godlike!
always great to hear this one again

One of the most beautiful songs that has ever been written (as far as I know). Thank you Eric for creating this for us.
My favourite track from this album. Thanks for this one.

Brilliantly performed acoustic version of Drifting Blues. Played by a 63 year old Clapton at the Hard Rock Calling Festival on 28th June 2008 in Hyde Park, London. Pro shot video clip with excellent audio quality.

Maybe George first rubbed it off onto wife Patty, who then went off to Eric and rubbed it off all over Eric, and so perhaps Patty was the artistic messenger between George and Eric?

Never having been a real fan of Clapton, with some exceptional exceptions, I was not aware that this was his. Always something in the background in a pleasant if nondescript way. Now in the foreground, it is pleasant in a rather nondescript way, but I know who it is. Pretty decent sums it up well.
I am not a Clapton fan at all, but love that riff; this is a great song!
time in a bottle anyone? anyone?
Looks like a cardboard cut-out of him on the cover.

I prefer the Grateful Dead's song of the same name.

He's not much cop as a singer either. Stick to the pickin', Eric, it's what you're brilliant it, and leave the singing to those who can sing.

I kind have to agree with 'bores', at times, but more for his later work. But even the most articulate painters tend to paint with broader, more subtle strokes as they get older.
In the case of "Let it Grow" the lyrics are weak in spots indeed.
"Love is lovely", yeah, okay Eric. and Anger is Angry, and Joy is Joyful, we get it dude.
I chalk it up to the spirit of the times in which the song was written. Got to cut Slowhand a LOT of slack.

Visiting nirvana every time while listening to this song 
I remember as a teenager, lying in my bed listening to this track on the brand new technology of Compact Casette, and deciding that music was going to be a very big part of my life.
