ERIC CLAPTON - TEARS IN HEAVEN (REACTION!!!!)

[@realbser1956]

Every time I hear that song I have to think how fortunate I am that I have my daughter and cannot imagine what my world would be w/o her. 🥲

[@matthewgarrison-perkins5377]

Yup, just gave my son a big hug. This song brings on the waterworks...

[@eironwyman8157]

This song tears me up every time....it came out about three weeks before my fiance was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver....it helped me through the dark times, along with some other great music....Fiddlers green is another that is a very carthatic song.....Moving on from any kind of loss like this a a very hard thing. It takes fighting every day to keep it from overwhelming you.....great review my man...thank you

[@davewilson435]

Truth...Great reaction. Love your family and friends every day. Tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us.

[@madnessing2774]

I truely don't understand how Eric Clapton wrote this song, it would take every bit of strength in me, and I still don't know if I could. Such a beautiful song.

[@RareHarmony]

More than that, playing it live in front of an audience without tearing up. A very strong-willed human being.

[@matthawkins8880]

It is how he relates to the world.

[@rk41gator]

It took him months to write this. There was a lot of pain to work through. He said it helped him endure.

[@danielolson5378]

Especially when you know he had just got clean from a long time abuse of alcohol and drugs. God knows how he managed to not escape back and like try burying his sorrows in alcohol/drugs.

[@dianedarby442]

As a New Yorker, I vividly remember when this happened and the cloud of sadness that hung over the city in its wake. . . can never hear this song without all the emotion rushing back. Your reaction was so heartfelt and respectful it, too, touched me. xox

[@barbsmith5465]

Thankyou for not pausing the song. Thankyou for honoring Connor Clapton and Eric Clapton. By not pausing you showed great respect.

[@jessietucker9342]

Don't know how he gets through performing that song, it gets me every time. You need to check out Eric Clapton playing with iconic blues players like BB King, Buddy Guy, etc, any one, I recommend highly.

[@shaunriley483]

I come from a family of 6 boys, 2 girls. I'm the youngest boy. My oldest brother went in for heart surgery everything went fine. The next day he was awake and alert, talking my sister-in-law. We thought he made it through fine. His blood pressure dropped when everything went downhill and we lost him. Just 4 days ago. He was my oldest brother, taught us all so many things. A great man with great faith in the Lord above. We are all in shock. My dad has passed but my mom is 87 and it kills me to see her go to what you just said that a parent should never go before their child. I haven't listened to any music since this happened. I went on KZbin and you were the first to pop up with this heartbreaking song. I see it as a reason to get this song first. Just thought it was ironic to help me through.Thanks brother! ❤❤🙏🙏

[@lynnhoffman247]

So sorry for your loss 😢🙏🏻

[@jayrahvisions]

You have my deepest condolences, my friend, I truly and vehemently believe that the memories that have created with those that we cherish allow them to live on forever within our hearts. God bless you. Love is all around.

[@friendme12345]

Well done - you did this song proud. This one was a stunner when it first hit the airwaves...

[@tgutz4332]

I'm so glad you were able to hear this version. This recording is from Mtv's unplugged. Very touching and sad

[@harrylederman1679]

Really impress the way that you were held on and didn't cry yourself yes I could see you on the edge so many times...... And I agree with you you can apply this sentiment to any of your loved ones who have passed away where the pain is still palpable end debilitating yet somehow you have to find the strength to carry on..... First time listener good job well done thank you

[@evamangan101]

Beautiful sincere reaction 👍😪

[@pablo.romero]

The real song about the death son (the unique song): "Circus Leaves Town". Eric Clapton. Poetry.

[@tee1913]

Beautiful song. Powerful reaction your words are always perfect.

[@nathanlittrell9106]

This was played at my little cousins funeral love the song but very emotional

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Eric Clapton also played it at the memorial after the Oklahoma City bombing, where many young children lost their lives.

[@sherrelwilson7354]

You said the most...when you said nothin at all...if that makes any sense. Loved your reaction♥️

[@danarchuleta1154]

Amazing how God has his way of providing perspective in the midst of the mundane. Also, goes to show that our humanity unites us, no matter the race, culture or political creed...we all shed a tear when this kind of tragedy strikes, and we all marvel at the beauty that can accompany these events. Peace J!

[@hobojesus5277]

Beautiful song but tough to listen to these days after experiencing tough losses

[@SIXX2772]

God Bless him!...the toughest part is he knew his son would hear this....but not as a 5 year old anymore.....very deep!

[@jamesbassett1484]

How can he sing this in public? I'd be a puddle!

[@sjd5750]

I always tried to figure out if it's his son's words, or his, when he says.."I know I don't belong here in heaven"....and "Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven?"..Could it be both?...Thoughts on this?

[@edprzydatek8398]

I never thought of it that way, that it could be his son saying that he didn't belong "here in heaven". I don't know. But I think that makes the song even sadder. Oh, God.

[@patriceschmitz521]

Indescribably sad. Powerful. Brave of Eric to write and sing for his young son Conor. My son Connor is 28. God Bless us all

[@UltraViolent21]

My best friend and roommate got killed by a drunk driver. His name is Ricky. I still see him in my dreams. Rest in peace brother.

[@jimster75]

Eric Clapton, one of my heroes, and Eddie Van Halen’s main influence for his own playing. Eric has overcome a lot, drug and alcohol addiction, the loss of a child, I admire the man. Glad you are diving into his music. Obliviously ‘Layla’ (the original Derek & the Dominoes version) should be your next stop, but also his music with Cream, or his huge career as a solo artist is worth digging into.

[@SillyUncleAndy]

I can't even imagine how he performed this live. I lost a child in 94 so this song means a lot to me, thank you for reacting to it

[@UltraViolent21]

One of my heroes. God bless him and Connor.

[@kristyshortridge4968]

Lovely reaction for a heart wrenching song.

[@ratowey]

A brilliant reaction to very sad song

[@RealDiehl99]

That's what I like most about your channel. Your reactions seem to be genuine and spontaneous. I think we enjoy seeing someone trying to articulate the thoughts going through their mind. As opposed to some rehearsed response. Feelings/beliefs/reactions are complex.

[@myownchannel247]

[@joelliebler5690]

You are right as I lost my wife all of a sudden almost twenty years ago when my daughter was only seven years old at the time. Knowing that I needed to gather my strength to be able to take care of my daughter was the only thing that kept me going, along with help from my family!👍🏻❤️☮️✌🏻😢

[@pennioltheten6018]

I will never understand the feeling of losing a child but watching my parent lose two of their children before they both past away themselves must have been just gut wrentching. Even though my sister passed at the 45, watching my Dad says his last goodbyes to my sister before she passed was so beautiful and so painful to watch. My brother who was my parents only boy passed away at the age of 5. so cherish every moment you have with your loved ones especially during time of covid..

[@mazeyandbuck]

keep going brother. check your audio. I still loved that you followed that song.

[@AJR-go1it]

Can you react to Cocaine by Eric Clapton?

[@davesunhammer4218]

You need to hear "My Father's Eyes"... I mean, yea, don't go through the rest of your life without hearing that one.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJfdiqFpaZmajNk

[@larryg7126]

Great review, I'm glad you knew the story, I remember the day I heard the news on the radio my wife & I we floored by the enormity/gravity of the loss, this song is a beautiful tribute to his child. Eric wondering if he will ever get to heaven, because as we all have some regrets for our actions and don't know if we deserve to go to heaven. He has skated close to death with heroin early on (post Cream) and alcohol addictions. His "There's One In Every Crowd " is a great look into his post alcohol rehab.

[@PilloryClinton]

Please, please, react to Mike & The Mechanics song In The Living Years. He was the bassist for Genesis.

[@matteliano454]

I can't count the times this song has made this grown man have tears running down his face. Eric is a strong man. I would have never been able to perform this and get through it. God bless him and all that mourn and suffer.

[@kevindobson6568]

Can you please react to the Crash test dummies song called The ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead Please

[@babylonsister118]

So true Jay! As a survivor I can attest.

[@workingman6681]

My wife and I played this at our twins funeral who we lost 6 months into our pregnancy. RIP Tyler and Krista!🙏

I'm sorry for your loss.

[@elizabethstanford6826]

@@jayrahvisions I didn't know if you had seen the video of the day he fell out the window and it shows the window open and how he fell. It is so eerie and his mom knew there was no chance of him being alive. Not falling that far down but here's the link anyway: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ_PpqNvl7GUba8

[@seanhenderson7205]

This lyrics video is just so far off from the actual lyrics of the song though.

[@philquinton777]

This song makes me think of my younger brother, who is in heaven. I miss him so much, but I had to keep going. We all do, because as you said, life goes on. Now that I'm facing my own mortality, heart failure, life seems so much more important. I will learn if my brother does know my name, know who I am. I want to hug him, love him, let him know how much he was missed. We all need to understand that we only get one shot at life and we all, we all, need to do better to let the world, and each other, know that love is real.

Heaviest subject matter one could possibly write a song about. It's not easy to talk about.. Good job getting through the reaction.

[@kellikebodeaux4761]

A beautifully tragic song. It's almost impossible to listen to without crying
