Saw Eric in concert soon after this song came out, he was very emotional. The crowd was very respectful, and emotional, even as Eric stumbled over the lyrics while trying to finish the song. A very touching tribute to his son.

The song came out a year before my 11 year old son passed away and at the time it was a sad song to me and my heart had hurt for Eric Clapton without any idea of what it was like to actually lose a child. Forever since my son passed this song has hit me so very hard every single time, there are times I can't finish listening to it and it's been decades. No parent should ever have to bury their child, he was my only son.

What a tribute to Eric Clapton and his son that a song can move you and everyone else. When I try to imagine the emotional struggle, he endured putting down the words I stop, realizing I will never understand how deep into his heart he had to reach. The story is so sad, but the song is about love.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Lost my younger brother, my only sibling, to a heart attack 3 years ago. I never had the chance to even say goodbye. siblings hold the key and the fact check to your family memories, and are the only ones who actually experienced them. He left a big hole in my life. A large piece of who I am is gone. This leaves me a total orphan of my original family. This and many other songs represent loss and grief. Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce is another one. Still another I will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan, and Yesterday by the Beatles. It's Time to Leave by Judith Durham. But Clapton tops the list, the song is more direct. Gut wrenching. Thanks for crying with me Dianne. It's very hard to get through this song. And I'm a musician, former music teacher, a father, husband and retired age 67, and I now feel like a helpless little boy again.

[@kazanyemmi]

My dad used to cover clapton songs with his group of friends. He hand wrote the lyrics to keep in his guitar case so he could read them as he played. I found these lyrics in his guitar case snd looked up the song in the early 200's and learned the story behind it. It felt like a message left for me. My dad passed away in a violent car accident in 1995. I can't listen to this song and not cry.

[@JasonMoir]

Proud of you for even reacting to this, Diane. It's a beautiful song, and his live performance of this is even more powerful.

I can only imagine. I couldn’t get through the song if I were him so it’s amazing that he does.

32 years later I still cry like a baby every time I hear this song. I can say that without this song, I would most likely be dead. This came out about three weeks after my fiancé was killed by a drunk driver. After three weeks of walking through life like a zombie, thinking some very dark thoughts of finding Karen again, I heard this on the radio and had a complete breakdown. My neighbors called the police for a wellness check due to the noises I was making sobbing my guts out. It will always be my favorite song that has ever been recorded. Thank you for the musical journey you are taking.

I lost my 29 year old daughter March 9, 2023. She had a combination of 3 rare diseases that she fought for 5 years. Over those years her body became completely unable to digest food and absorb nutrients, and even medicine. Tube feeding didn’t work either. Thank God she was able to get pain and nausea medication via IV. Then that no longer controlled the pain and she had to be in sedated hospice. The last time I really listened to this song is when I played it for my mom’s wake in 2001 after she passed away from cancer. My daughter and her grandmother were inseparable. She was just 7 when my mom died. They are together again. ❤️💔😪

[@sandmanCQB8541]

The first time this was played on the Radio, my GF and I were driving in my car. We actually had to pull over and park, because we were both HUGE Clapton fans, and still shocked by what happened. We sat there in the car, with tears streaming down our faces.

I cried more than you, Diane. You must be stronger than I. We lost our 39 year old son in 2020, so I feel his pain. Also, the images from the movie, about struggles with relationships got me, too.

Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother's friend, on March 20, 1991. A song that will touch the very depths of all who listen to it.🙏

I lost my son recently & this song helped me through the grief. I lost my other son on the day he was born & Scott was our blessing 18 months later so that was something else that made things difficult. It's impossible to describe how it feels of course but I think most ppl can imagine. I was in so much shock that there were times I needed so much to cry but couldn't. This song helped me to cry when my brain was trying to protect me. I can't get through it without sobbing like a child so it's amazing that Eric was able to perform the song at all. I still have my daughter who is even more precious than before if that's at all possible. She's everything to me now. Thank you for your wonderful reaction.

[@baconrocks1720]

I'm not stalking you lol. I'm just in a place where I need this. This song brings yet another memory. My youngest brother died in 1992 in a car accident which devastated the whole family. Of course. But dad heard this song, and he wanted it played at the table in the front part of the church when people came inside. I didn't think of it at that time, but I'd have asked him to also have them play Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity". I connected that song to my little brother after hearing from another brother that the last concert they went to was Queensryche. It always brought Matthew to mind when I heard it. Still does. In fact, it makes me cry more than this one. But that's how I work out my grief in life....through music. You might want to check out Silent Lucidity, it's a great song with sweeping orchestration in with the rest of the music. Queensryche did some good work, including a really rocking and powerful version of "Scarborough Fair". When I hear that one, I see a whole structured video playing in my mind. I know, I'm odd.

A person must somehow find an inner strength to carry on, it's the worse thing that could possibly happen to a parent.

I was crying right along with you. There are a lot of really good "sad" songs out there but I think you should listen to and watch Lara Fabian singing "Je Suis Malade" live from her 1999 concert.
