Amber, you have no idea how emotional this song is. This was a song written for Eric’s young son, Conor, who died tragically in a terrible fall when he was only 5 years old. Not easy to listen to. It was also used in the film Rush. That’s some footage from it in the video. The director at first did not want to use the song. Eric sent him a tape of the song with just his voice and his guitar, and the guy thought it was just too raw and heartbreaking to use because he knew instantly who the song was about, but Eric asked him to please use it.

Written about his 4 year old son, who fell out of a 53rd floor window that was left open. What makes it even more heart breaking is that Eric Clapton was a few blocks away on his way to pick up his son to go to the zoo. It amazes me that he could even write this let alone perform it. The pain, but endurance in this man must be mental.

I haven't even watched the video yet. But I guarantee Amber is going to cry. I remember the first time this song was played on the radio in New York City. This is where Eric's son tragically felt to his death at only 3 years old. All of us who were rock and roll fans were devastated. It is the first and only time in my entire life that I actually had to pull over and park my car because the song was making me cry so hard and I couldn't drive. Eric has since started a charitable organization it his son's name to try and find some good in this awful event. This is the most eloquent expression of heartbreak I have ever heard. So now I finished watching the video. Just as I predicted even without knowing the story behind the song Amber got the feeling and emotion that was put into it. Now, go watch it again listen to the lyrics and realize he's talking about his baby boy. You'll cry buckets this time.

I still get teary eyed when I hear this. When I saw him perform it live I bawled like a baby. So heartbreaking for a parent to experience this and such a beautiful song.

This song is a very sad one, he lost his 4 year old son, his son fell out of a Window of a hotel & fell to his death. This song was dedicated to his son. 😢❤️ I also love when Eric does Blues too.🎸

When mtv was still worth watching. I remember when this unplugged came out. It was a thing. And this was an amazing and heartfelt version we were lucky enough to see captured on film.

I'm not a fan of Eric Clapton the person, and am a casual fan, at best, of his music, but this song causes me to tear up everytime. I cannot imagine, don't want to imagine, going through what he went through, and it's a beautiful song

Can't imagine writing a song like this about an event as tragic as this and then hearing it as a popular song.

You both are the perfect combination as a music reaction video team. You guys are by far my favorite reaction channel. Amber every time you connect emotionally with songs it strikes my heart. This song hits me hard too

Far and away, this is Eric Clapton's greatest -- and most personal -- song. He wrote it for his young son, who fell to his death from his high-rise apartment in NYC a few years earlier. Still makes me well up when I hear this one...

If you can stand listening to this song again after learning why this song was written then try his unplugged version from his MTV Unplugged concert which is actually full of great songs. Try Change The World by Clapton accompanied by Baby Face. Amazing song too.

I always found this song emotional but when my son was stillborn it took on even more resonance for me and I break down hearing it now. It's a beautiful song.

Jay & Amber, you'll love Eric's "After Midnight", "Forever Man" and "Change The World"!!! edit- Eric wrote this to help him heal from the tragic death of his young son.

It’s fascinating how music can be so good simply on its own. But, when you know the backstory leading to the creation of a song, something magical happens transcending the song to another level. This is one of those songs. How can you not shed a tear knowing what led to the incredible lyrics and the beautiful medley.
