Introducción: el sonido del hogar
"Back Home", lanzado en 2005, es el primer álbum de material mayoritariamente original de Eric Clapton desde "Pilgrim". El disco es una celebración de su vida familiar y su felicidad doméstica, y el título refleja este sentimiento de contentamiento. Musicalmente, es un álbum de pop rock y R&B de corte adulto contemporáneo, con un sonido cálido, pulido y relajado. El álbum presenta una mezcla de canciones originales, escritas en su mayoría con Simon Climie, y versiones de artistas como Stevie Wonder y George Harrison.
Contexto y grabación
El álbum fue grabado después de que Clapton completara su tributo a Robert Johnson. El tono optimista y sereno del disco está directamente influenciado por su matrimonio con Melia McEnery y el nacimiento de sus hijas. El proceso de grabación fue largo y relajado, con Clapton y Simon Climie construyendo las canciones con un elenco de músicos de sesión de primer nivel, incluyendo a Billy Preston en su última aparición grabada, y colaboraciones vocales de Vince Gill y John Mayer.
Tema a tema
"Revolution": El single principal es una versión de una canción de J.J. Cale, con una letra que llama a una "revolución" personal y espiritual. Con su ritmo de reggae y su mensaje positivo, encaja perfectamente en el tono del álbum.
"Love Comes to Everyone": Una conmovedora versión de la canción de su amigo George Harrison. La interpretación de Clapton es un tributo sincero y afectuoso.
Resultados y acogida
"Back Home" tuvo un buen rendimiento comercial, alcanzando el puesto 13 en Estados Unidos y el número 19 en el Reino Unido. En España, llegó al número 10. La crítica lo recibió con reseñas generalmente positivas, elogiando su calidez y sinceridad, aunque algunos lo encontraron demasiado relajado y falto de la energía de sus trabajos anteriores. Es considerado un álbum maduro y personal que refleja una etapa feliz en la vida de Clapton.

Letra
One day I believe One day I can see Baby Out in the country, maybe down by the sea Will I wake up one morning and find that I've been set free One day One day Some day I can't say how Some day But I don't know now Maybe tomorrow when I'm old and gray What I ever wanted will finally come my way One day One day One day This dream will come true One day Maybe you will too Maybe flying high, maybe close to the ground I will hear your voice and I'll know I've been found Hold me tight, baby make me stay I can hear every word you've been trying to say One day One day - One Track Mind5:03
Letra
Tossing and turning All night long Down in my pillow Felt so strong Had to get up And write this song Baby where do we go from here? Can't do anything to make you see You've been your loving was made for me What can I do To make you see That with you I can't go wrong All I do is pray That you will come my way No doubt about it I've got a one track mind You took my breath so easily And You touched my heart so carefully And You give your love so tenderly And You can't do nothing wrong I got no time for no one else And I got no love for no one else Cause I don't believe in no one else With you I do belong [Chorus:] As far as I can see You're the one for me No doubt about it I've got a one track mind [Chorus] You take my breath so easily And you took my heart so carefully And you give your love so readily And you can't do nothing wrong [Chorus 2x and fade] - Run Home To Me6:17
Letra
We went down to the seaside, One cold frosty morning. Just to go out for a drive, For an hour or two. I walked down to the water, With my love and our baby. Watched the waves breaking in, We're enjoying the view. Then I heard myself saying, "We should do this more often, To watch the little ones playing, On that bright stony shore." And I wished deep down in my heart, That we could stay here forever. In these sweet simple moments, That will come back no more. When it's 3 o'clock in the morning, And something scared you from your breast, I will gently rock you in my arms, And lay your little head on my chest, And when you run, from my arms, Know we'll always find you. And when you run, out of loving, And run home to me. (Run home to me) And the years fly by so quickly, Like a plane before my eyes, And you've grown up into a woman, Before I had time, had time to realize. And then you'll run, from my arms, And we'll always come and find you. And when you run, out of loving, Then run home to me. Lord when you run, run out of my arms, We will always come and find you, And when you run, out of loving, Then run home to me. (Run home to me) - Back Home3:33
Letra
I've been on the road too long Moving in the wrong direction I don't know where I belong I don't know what I will do, if I can't get back home Troubles I've got on my own They don't fit no other person Memories keep rollin' on I don't know what I will do, if I can't get back home I don't fit, but I don't give a damn I won't quit, 'cause I know who I am And I admit and I've been on the left Bit by bit, I'll review my plan This is it, do the best I can Trust and understand 'Cause I know I'm loved I'll be on my way Got no need to stay... 'round here 'Cause I been on this road too long Going in the wrong direction And I don't know where I come from All I know is I will die, if I don't get back home
