Your wife would have been crying earlier if she knew the backstory to this. Be assured that you're not alone with tears, does it to me every time I hear this.

[@melissaward6311]

I saw his first tour after ec s son died. It was very emotional. Ive seen ec 5 times. Always the best concerts . and ive seen alot as I am 67. Sam and Dave,first concert at 15. I believe claptons tour of Nothing but the Blues was the last big concert . Not exactly sure,will have to check ticket stubs.

[@choice12ozborne]

This is my first time on the channel but I think that she would also like that track by Bryan Adams.. I think it's called everything I do.

[@melissaward6311]

@@aviatom1 that's true. Very heartbreaking.

[@LtFrankDrebin100]

What if she knew the BACK back story about how Eric Clapton is a racist piece of shit? I mean this with all sincerity, f👀k that antivaxx POS Clapton with 1000 simultaneous donkey dicks.

[@lancevaughn432]

He wrote this song to his son, Connor Who is 4 1/2 years old and fell to his death. They lived on the 53rd floor. I cried when I heard about his son and cried again when the song came out.

[@MrTech226]

I know that this is official video for the movie, Rush, but I know the backstory of this song. Every time that I hear this song; I get very emotional. Because I lost my infant daughter, Michelle week after she was born over 35+ years ago. I think about her every day since. I am getting teared up just typing my words on the keyboard writing to you. I know that she is my guardian angel, and we will meet in Heaven. Love You my sweet Michelle, your dad!

God bless you Mr Tech and the soul of your daughter Michelle. Heartbreaking, I have no words.

I have been married twice and my first wife was pregnant 3 time but sadly she had miscarriages with all 3. We found out that the first one was a boy and the second one was a girl. The third one was too early to find out. We eventually separated and got divorced. I have no children but feel sad when any parent loses a child very young.

[@Angelo-kv7qp]

I lost a grandson after 5 weeks of life. He would be 20 years old. We never forget the feelings of lost . Tears now. Best wishes to you and your family.

[@DizJakeOG]

This song was written about his little boy that passed.

[@endapian]

right .... and so sad!😭

[@lorilxn1597]

I bawl everytime I hear this. It came out about the same time my dad died, it made it even worse when I found out it was about the death of his little boy Conner. Such a tragic story, falling out the window in his moms apartment onto the roof of the building next door. Eric seen all of the emergency vehicles outside of the building and had no idea it was for his son. Theres a video of the story, you should check it out. Eric Clapton is one of my very favorite singers, I can never pick one because there's so many out there

[@lesrolon40]

Everytime I listen to this song I think about Eric's child and my own who passed away due to SIDS 18 years ago.

[@realbser1956]

What’s to say about this song? A beautiful song born out of a terrible, unimaginable, family tragedy, the loss of a child. 😭

[@RyanHeafner]

Craig Morgan’s The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost gets me every time. I remember when his son passed and this coming out not too long afterwards, sad times

[@xJRx77]

Craig is an extremely strong man mentally. Very brave

[@richarddefortuna2252]

I believe most of the video images were from the movie "Rush," which I think was about drug addition in a relationship. I'm pretty sure that this song was used in the soundtrack.

[@chercee]

Saddest song ever. RIP Conor.

[@kathryndunn9655]

Yeap over death of his small son 😥

Awesome reaction. Made me cry, hearing the song again, even though I've heard it hundreds of times.

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

i lost my hand in afghanistan, a few years after i got home i got lucky and bumped into clapton in the hotel my fiances family owned, i was working maintenance for them and bumped into him while changing a lightbulb, got talking to him and he even passed me up the new bulb. after 5-10 minutes of chatting i said "i cant play guitar anymore because of the hand" he looked at me with a calm but serious face and said "so? so what if your missing a hand, jeff healey had no eyes and his guitar riffs are unforgettable, just because your missing something important to playing guitar doesnt mean you cant" so i 3d printed an attachment for my prosthetic that could hold a pick, and ive been playing blues licks every chance i get

[@Tom-us5ey]

No one has ever spoken of the lady that left the window open can you imagine what she went through

[@lizbrown6943]

The clip was from movie which featured song. He wrote about his toddler son that fell out window and passed.

[@triciagreer9130]

I love this song,

[@fredmarinovich5477]

Wonderful tonight

[@donaldbrunner6250]

He was a recovering alcoholic and drug addict and stayed clean and sober through all of the mourning. He went on a child protection campaign.

Eric Clapton "Motherless Child" & "See What Love Can Do"

[@stephensimon7621]

truly one of the great songs , its a killer

[@jomojojo6603]

Eric stopped performing this song. He said that he wrote it for a specific reason (as we know) and when he got over the pain, he would not perform it anymore.

[@tammyharper4152]

My first child he came early he unfortunately died I always said I see him when I get to heaven

[@mikefetterman6782]

The movie RUSH with Jason Patrick and Jennifer Jason Leigh and Sam Elliott (Plus Greg Allman) is the soundtrack this was written for and those are clips from the movie, it was a really good movie.

[@mikefetterman6782]

His poor nanny probably felt like suicide after being so negligent as to leave the window open with such a youngster and such a high floor.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The video is about 2 undercover narcotic officers who get hooked on heroin while trying to build cases against drug dealers. The video has absolutely nothing to do with the song.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Clapton is God

[@tommccafferty5591]

Those clips were from the movie Rush, about two undercover cops who become drug addicts.

[@susanhoh1414]

Research the back story on this tragedy of losing his baby boy Connor who fell from a 53 story window NY apartment. Connor was 4 his only child.

[@jacquelineross7231]

I have a really hard with this song having lost a child. Tears.

[@beatledad]

you should hear the other song that clapton did about losing his son...also performed at this session....THE CIRCUS LEFT TOWN....remember he had conner to the circus the day before he died

[@lorilxn1597]

I love your videos

[@kevincaulder20]

Great song born out of heartbreaking loss. I think you should give your wife a dose of Sade. The live version of NO ORDINARY LOVE from her Lovers Rock concerts is as good as she gets. Also, the video of IS IT A CRIME? deserves to be seen along with PARADISE. Can't wait for the reaction.

[@rk41gator]

Now if you need some comic relief, you can listen to Eric and Phil (Collins) in 'I Wish It Would Rain Down' video. It is a hoot. A bluey Collins song with an insane 'movie' video. (note the band is all 'playing' acoustic instruments, but the music is electronic....the whole thing is tongue-in-cheek)

[@kathryndunn9655]

He's a great guitarist

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙😢

[@davidlukey5189]

You completely misunderstood the meaning of this song. It's actually about the annual onion chopping competition held in Eric's favourite local nightclub, the titular Heaven. "I must be strong, and carry on" refers to Eric's memory of the year he was 7 onions deep and still hadn't shed a tear. He was down to the final 2 contestants, but his eyes were like a cracking damm. Fun fact, the other contestant, who went on to win, was none other than Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant. The competition that one year went on to inspire 2 monster hits, Tears in Heaven, and When The Levee Breaks. Ironically, I may be going to hell for writing this comment.

[@johnlillis1161]

hey Chod been a minute can you give Rickie Lee Jones Chuck E;s In Love a listen she's a cool young Lady a little bit of Jazz / funk sound for you thanks

[@leisastalnaker3790]

About the son he lost. Beautiful and poignant.

Look up the real story to this song... It has nothing to do with the video and is extremely tragic.

[@davidpuddy1573]

My son was four when this song came out and I could not listen to it

[@mikedoyle5901]

Should have completely devoted this song to the memory of his son and not cashing in selling rights to a B grade movie.

[@joelliebler5690]

You should have told her what this song is about before playing it. She would be crying crocodile tears!

[@kidpoker007]

This video has nothing to do with the song

[@dublinshaw5968]

HOW CAN YOU HAVE THE BAD JUDGMENT TO INTERRUPT Tears in Heven with a commercial ,! BAD JUDGMENT! DONT DO THIS NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR PRODUCTS

[@ptrlxc]

The meaning behind the song is when Eric lost his son, who was 4 1/2 and fell out of a 53rd story window. It occurred just when Eric was coming out of his drug abuse of many years, and wanted to clean himself up after his son was born. He was, at the time, in a good place in life, and couldn’t be more happy being a father. For a long time he didn’t want to be a father because of the lifestyle he was leading. But when he really did have a child he wanted to change and found he liked his new lifestyle. His friends and family were worried that he’d fall right back into abuse. Instead, eventually he wrote a song about it. Today he’s happily married, has more kids.

[@martinwefing2909]

U also have to listen to genesis, since i lost you. Phil Colllins wrote this song , for Eric Clapton. Its such an amazing song.

[@brucevidito4923]

Once you know the back story you just can't listen to this song without getting emotional.

@@martinwefing2909 Great friends, Phil and Eric.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Beautiful heartfelt song. Personally, I wish they had not had the film clips, I found them distracting. I think just Eric on stage with his guitar would be more affecting. But that's just my opinion. Loved it....

[@rk41gator]

When you know the back story and his lost it makes this song crushingly sad. You should never have to bury your child.

[@fordp69]

Chod, play the original studio recording of "Layla" for her, that couldn't possibly make her sad!

[@kathryndunn9655]

Song really over the death of his 3 yr old son that fell from hotel room balcony.

[@canihavesome2591]

This is such a shame that most people don't know that the song has nothing to do with the video - couldn't be further apart tbh...undercover narcotics cops who get too close to the product they are trying to stop, and a father's 4 year old son who fell 50+ floors to his death in a terrible terrible accident.

[@timpwhit]

I agree, tying in a movie promo to such a deeply moving and personal song never set well with me. I wish they had just kept the camera on Clapton the whole time.

[@paulvez6296]

Such a beautiful song. I cry every time i listen to it. I really don't know how mr. Clapton can play this live without breaking down.

[@danielhaines2265]

Tell her what it's really about, not this video

[@frankk8018]

If you guys want sad ... real sad, go to the studio video "Stay - by Sugarland" country singers.

[@jennhen2675]

This song is about the tragic death of his 4 1/2 year old son Connor.

[@waltw4537]

So sad. The greatest fear of a parent realized... And tragedy can hit a flash guitar player too. This song was in a movie called "Rush". The rush is from "H" if you know what I mean. Tragic movie too. The young couple are from the movie. Great reaction, guys.

[@pablo.romero]

The real song about the Clapton's son death is "Circus Left Town". Search it. So beatiful and so sad....

[@jenniferjacobs228]

You are allowed to cry and show emotion, you know. This song warrants that. It's heart breaking. He lost his 4 yr old son in an unimaginably horrendous way. May he rest in peace.

[@niccolean]

The scenes in the video are from a movie, they have nothing to do with the backstory of the song.

[@susanstein6604]

I can no longer listen to this powerful song. I cry almost immediately and my heart feels broken… again. Peace

[@tomflowers7903]

If you know the back story, this song is heart wrenching!!!

[@ralpholson7616]

I don't think there is a parent out there that can listen to this without shedding a tear.

[@ginatomei-shrout6475]

What an absolutely heartbreaking story behind this song. I saw him perform this with his acoustic guitar...there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

[@757optim]

I think the video detracts. The reality behind the song is much more meaningful..

[@barriehull7076]

Sorry can't stand the video, I much prefer the unplugged live rendition video. Let it grow is a good one. I shot the Sheriff, a Bob Marley Song is another.

[@mannyfran8024]

Agreed. Has nothing to do with the meaning of the song. Was disappointed he used the movie for the official music video. I understand not using his son in a video, but anything else would of been better. I couldn't imagine losing a kid in that way. Or anyway for that matter. Peace and hugs to all those who has to bury a child. 😪

[@monalisaganser5813]

His tribute to his son! RIP Angel! 😊❤️🎸🐕

[@aland4092]

You should check Eric Clapton on MTV unplugged. It was awesome . And on commercial breaks he was doing an interview. And he explained his writing of this song and another song he wrote about his son. Called the circus left town. But the music on the show was awesome. He played with a full acoustic band. Excellent.

[@Spazzmatazzz]

Well, I tried but had to tap out a minute and a half in because I know what it's about. Back in the day when this came out, I'd just buried my third son and I'd leave anywhere it came on. Bar, party, it didn't matter. It's still hard to listen to. God is supposed to be a loving God and he throws me this hand? Hmmm...

[@paulf4802]

This video doesn't do this song justice as it doesn't fit with the meaning behind the song. Just knowing the back story and pain and anguish Clapton felt (and no doubt still feels to this day) brings tears to any feeling human being.

[@robbytucker6496]

this song is about eric claptons son who died when he was 4 or 6 yrs old . eric was on his way up to the apartment to pick his son up cause eric an his wife were seperated. and on the way up to see him , his son was not being properly watched an there was a guy there doing something to window an his son was running around like kids do and fell and slid out window of the high rise appartment and fell over nine storys and landed on the roof of the adjasent 6 story building.. and that movie that that this song is sound track for is a true story of wut happened in tyler and longview texas . with sum under cover cops an a large drug ring they took down
