As a New Yorker, this song always hits so hard - the news around Connor's fall was never ending and unbearable at the time. Clapton was quiet for a long time before this song came out - one he said was cathartic when he wrote it. Thanks for the great reaction!
Agreed. How such a beautiful, classic, heartfelt song could come from such a devastatingly tragic event is beyond me. And how he could ever perform it without dissolving into tears is also beyond me. Especially since I still crumble to a blubbering mess just hearing him sing the words.
im glad no one is around me because im crying. this song is gut punch every time
I graduated high school in 1992, the year this song released. Everyone then seemed to know the song’s backstory. I remember seeing Eric play this live less than a year after he lost his son, and the venue was just rife with the raw power of grief. It was an amazing experience to witness, and I have noticed, like you would expect, that extreme heavy feeling lightened as the years went on and he preformed it over and over. Always a moving performance, however. The song played everywhere after its release as well. Anyway, thanks for the react!! It has always amazed me that Clapton was able to channel his overwhelming loss into a piece of art that decades later is still as haunting and beautiful.
The story brings additional poignancy to Ren's song Seven Sins where he is talking about overwhelming pain and bitterness as he falls into psychosis. He says" cried tears from heaven like Clapton".
Actually, I don't believe you ever reacted to Seven Sins. It is one of my absolute favorites .
Don't know what the procedure is here for requests, but it is so powerful. Please react to it.
More than 30 years have passed and no one forgets Connor's death. At the time Clapton released the song I thought how he managed to make this song but, as you say Fil, he immortalized his son through this beautiful song
Clapton - ❤❤❤
Yes, a dad song. My dad loved it and we played this on his funeral ❤ Thank you. I knew the origin of it, and dad did also. We just loved it do much together.
I cry every time I hear it.. This version of the song with Clapton alone.. is amazing.
This came out about the same time my dad passed. I cry every time I hear it. Heartbreaking for Eric and all of us fans. 😭
I have always loved this song. Listened to it a lot after I lost my mom. Grief is so unbelievably fickle as well as all-encompassing at times. People who have never lost someone of deep significance have no way to truly comprehend how soul crushing death is. How final. I only have one child, and I cannot even fathom life without him. As you said, I also don't think I could survive that.
Lovely reaction and Eric Clapton still sounds fantastic!
My brother had this song played at our mother's funeral. I cannot hear it without thinking of her.
@@timtam79 sending so much light and peace your way ♥️♥️
@@sarahanderson8635 Bless you Sarah. ♥
This obviously hits hard💔
I hope for a joyful reunion when time calls🙏
😘😘🙏💔❤️ Thank you, Eric and Fil! 🙏❤️
So emotional but sometimes hard to listen to for that reason...Clapton is a legend
It always amazed me how strong Eric Clapton was to "carry on" and perform this song. I do believe the song helps him be strong, but it brings me to tears every time.
This is a such a sad but beautiful song. I cannot imagine losing a child, especially like he did. Love your reaction! 💔
I still remember how shocked I was the next day standing next to the building on 57th St. where his son Conor fell out of the window on the 53rd floor.
This is from an article a few years later.
The shattered mother of Eric Clapton’s son Conor - who plummeted to his death from a Manhattan high-rise that had no window guards - says the tragedy turned her into “a zombie” who couldn’t think straight.
And Lory del Santo adds that she’s so freaked out by Clapton’s poignant tribute song to his dead 4-year-old, “Tears from Heaven,” that she has to flee when she hears it.
“For five years after the accident, I hardly felt as though I was there, hardly alive,” del Santo told London’s News of the World in her first interview since the 1991 tragedy. “I was like a zombie and just couldn’t cope.”
Del Santo, 39, clearly remembers March 20, 1991, when she was living in a 53rd-floor apartment in the Galleria Condominium building on West 57th Street.
“The window had been left open. Eric was on his way to pick Conor up,” she says.
“I heard the fax machine and checked it out before going to check on Conor. I walked in just a fraction of a minute too late. He had gone. If I hadn’t checked the fax, he’d still be alive.
“When I told Eric what had happened, he froze solid. It was like he’d just stopped functioning. He didn’t say anything. It was all so unreal. When Conor died, the relationship between Eric and me died.”
Such a good song, I think promises might be my favourite from him.
Thank you!!🙏
Love Eric Clapton! This was one of my mom's favorite songs, and we played it at her funeral! Pretty much impossible to listen to it without crying! Never heard this version tho...
Emocionada 😢😢❤
FAOUZIA release a new song Fur Elise lyric video and a LIVE performance I know you are going to like it.
This version is not as good as the actual music video. It has clips from a movie called Rush and the beat is slower.
