Tribal People React to ERIC CLAPTON playing TEARS IN HEAVEN For The First Time

[@NorthernSoul23]

I lost my daughter (age 31) . I think of her every day and try to live life as she would want me to, trying to keep her memory alive for her two sons. I also have a son battling cancer . I feel for Chacha losing his daughters. Peace to you chacha

I'm sorry for your loss 😥

[@flyfamille5671]

so sorry for your loss, it's ok to say that you miss her, when the kid's do sweet things that are pretty much just like her you can say it feel like daughter is here. that how we keep those who are physically missing still presents in my family. you're still relearning how to breathe without her give yourself grace

I lost my son 36 years ago when he was 5 months old, this song still makes me cry, I still celebrate his birthday every April 13th.

[@rosemarywoolley8394]

I lost my daughter 3 years ago. Her birthday was April 13th. She was 45 years old and had only just started to be happy with her life. I feel blessed to have her for 45 years. I'm sorry you did not have more time with your son.

[@TakenTook]

01:02 -- He is praying that he and his deceased child will recognize each other in heaven, and asking that the Lord will let her know that her daddy is there now for her, and make sure they find each other, once he arrives there too. Before even hearing the song, he already knows exactly how it feels. Of course, he always is the member of the group who interprets the songs correctly before even hearing the translated lyrics, but this time he knows even before watching the video, because he has lived through it himself. 😢

[@TRYBALS]

Really amazing he shared something so related to the subject without even knowing the subject and it's lyrics.

[@TakenTook]

@@TRYBALS -- Perhaps he was inspired to mention that specific aspect -- hoping that she will be told "your father is here now" so they can find each other -- because the Lord is promising him that it will be done.

[@SailorYuki]

Eric Clapton has stated that he doesn't want to sing this song anymore. He wrote it to deal with the loss of his song, but all fans demand to hear it all the time. For him it is now torture. He's forced to relive the worst moment in his life over and over again. So, he said that he will not song it again and asks his fans to not request it.

[@justkiddin84]

I can understand that. It’s a loss that never leaves.

[@cathytice6370]

It truly does f us up. I have some of this as well. Some days are okay, and then the brain goes fog mode. And I have huge blocks of missing memory. Partly my fault for drinking a bit too much when I was younger, but I was that way under 20. Just do your best. You are never alone in this, sadly.

Beautiful. To hear Abdul speak about having the same thoughts - will they know me when I get there? It touched my heart.

[@TRYBALS]

It's amazing he said that even before knowing anything about the artist or song that we were gonna listen to. People are same no matter the differences between them. We all feel somethings in the same way.

[@TheHopperUK]

@@TRYBALSYes, grief and hope are universal. human truths.

[@snicky58]

I love Abdul so much. He has had so much grief and pain in his own life -- maybe that's why he is so sensitive. Not only in this episode, but in every one that I've seen. He has a gift for reading people and their true feelings. I could listen to him for hours. I would love to hear him tell stories from his life, and tell about how he gained the wisdom that he obviously has. I believe I heard him say on another episode that he is very ill. I hope he'll get better,

[@michelleikoma2953]

I also lost my daughter when she was 23, just becoming herself as a young woman and about to become a nurse. It has been 8 years. I miss her every day , but the grief is just a part of me now. Songs like this bring it to the surface again. I cannot listen to this without tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat.

[@Grizzlox]

It's 2am and I found your comment. Just know I have shed tears for you and your daughter whom I do not know. 4 years ago, my mom left this world for Heaven, and I just know as beautiful as heaven is... it's even more beautiful now that my mom and your daughter are in it.

[@thatgardeninggirl2864]

My Aunt buried both of her children She said something that made a lot of sense. Grief is love with nowhere to put it. I'm praying for you Mama.

[@pam9690]

So sorry for your loss. God bless.

[@0Pinger]

almost wish I hadn't watched this reaction but same for me. My mothers death in 2000 at end of March, brought it right back. In 2015 I had seen a few voluntary helpers, all hail Salvation Army, to talk over it as I still had the grief/guilt still after 15 years. Then today 8th april 2024 it surfaced again in full force. Once you grieve its should be more of a happy memory, but a song/film/TV show with same sentiments is a trigger for me, but the release from a good cry gives you are buffer to it not coming back for a while. So for anyone that has just lost someone, once you accept you need help, talk to someone. In my case I had tried psychiatric nurses and eventually 2 helpers from Salvation army gave me my best help. If you don't get help with one, try another professional or mental health volunteer, but talk to someone once you accept you Need help.

[@jitaamesuluma9730]

These are very smart men, they could not even understand the words but they understood the pain, , I listen to all sorts of music, all languages, music talks to your soul

[@lornemajor4806]

There's also a beauty in the song's simplicity. It is almost like a nursery rhyme. It is something that a 4 year old could appreciate.

[@HarryNansen]

10:17 - _"Yeah, it's an expression of pain"._ The old guy summed the entire thing up in one single sentence. Well done! 🙂

Grief is universal - part of the human experience. Although there is a language barrier, these lovely people were able to zero in on Clapton’s facial expressions as well as the response of the interviewer, and articulate the beauty and pain of this song. Very nice reactions.

[@DukePastrami670]

I've watched several of the Tribal People videos and I have to say that the older man with the long white beard is a genius. He doesn't know the language but understands the meaning of the songs just by hearing the music, the vocal tones, and the facial expressions of the artists. Check out the 'Stairway to Heaven' and the 'Hotel California' videos.

i didn't get this song until my brother died, then my step-son died. now it makes me cry like a baby.

This song came out around the time my mother died and soon after my nephew died as well. I never hear this song without thinking of them even after 32 years. Brings me to tears every time. This video shows music is a universal language! Love your videos and your channel!

[@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879]

Wow! It was so heartwarming and heartbreaking to hear one of the gentlemen express the same thoughts about losing his daughter before he even heard the song! At first, I thought "wow! That was an intuitive guess and was spot on!" .... it wasn't until a few moments later that it struck me: "of course he knows, intuitively, how this feels. He has suffered the same thing, many times. He has had those horrible thoughts and feelings... and probably a million more feelings and ideas that, so far, I'm blessed enough to be ignorant about. I haven't lost a child, so I can't know what feelings that experience would bring and what thoughts I'd have. Amazing to see! I am a musician and these videos inspire me to create music more than nearly anything else! Thank you all for your work!

[@StarwaterCWS]

My wife and I were blessed to know the answer to his pain. Our son died at the age of 2 years and 3 months from leukemia. Two nights after he passed away, we were sleepless and in pain, very late at night we were in bed and both heard music coming from the living room. We both got up and on top of a cabinet was a book of his, the kind of book that played music only when it was opened. The book was closed. We both felt our son’s presence at that moment and we knew he was telling us he was fine and not to be sad. We took that book and placed it in his coffin along with our family picture. That was in 1985. We knew then, just as we know now, that whatever struggles we go through in this life, we will all be reunited in heaven.

[@kvbstudios316]

Side note: I would contribute to sending the whole team to live concerts. The thought of them getting to experience some of these musicians live just makes me smile.

I remember that and now, as then, I wouldn't have traded places with Sue Lawley. I don't know how she remained so stoic. I lost my sister the same year (1991) and I was barely able to function so to be able to write and sing about he and his families loss is, to me, astonishing. I (still) send him my sincere condolences. It's a pain that never leaves, you simply have to find your way forward.

So I already watched a couple of these gems. What really strikes me beyond believe is the amount of empathy these people have and are abel to share. As someone who has experienved his own empathy mroe as a burdon most of the times, this is an eye opener to me. Maybe, just maybe I'm just born into the wrong society. Which at least gives me some hope, that there are other communities, where there are wonderful people like these and this is the normal. Maybe one day I will belong.

I am so pleased that the man introducing this had the sense not to use the "Rush" video. It would have totally spoilt it for them - and actually I hate it when reactors play it.

This song by Eric Clapton still breaks my heart to this day. This was my father's favourite song, and he would try to practice singing and playing this song on his guitar. My father died almost 20 years ago, and every time I hear "Tears In Heaven," I think about him. And it makes it sadder to know that he is in heaven now and no longer with his family. But I know that he will know my name when I meet him in heaven someday.
