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

[@saturahman7510]

Thank you for your story. Please remember, you are not alone ! ❤

[@marynorth7988]

I thank God I believe we shall meet our loved ones again.... My prayers are with all in your situation ... May God Bless you and your beautiful son and grandchildren ! I wish you strength and health for you to continue your battle ! WHAT an amazing wonderful mum and Gran you are .

Beautiful sentiments and Abdul’s story about every night thinking of his daughter and one day meeting her in the afterlife, brought tears to my eyes. Bless him and all of you.

[@TRYBALS]

[@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]

Then we respect his wishes.

[@TheHopperUK]

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,

[@angelahawman4263]

[@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.

[@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.

[@thyra_UK]

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.

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.

[@pam9690]

[@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.

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.

[@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.

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

[@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!

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.

I think what you're doing is important because it shows us that people are people wherever they may be in the world. Watching the news, all you get is the worst that people have to offer because that's what sells, so I honestly believe sharing things like this lets us see the other side, the vast majority of people, just being humans and sharing in and reacting to cultures other than their own. You're doing a good thing.

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.

Check out the 'Stairway to Heaven' and the 'Hotel California' videos.

I am the seventh of eight children and in 1982, my youngest older brother died in a car accident. We keep him in our hearts and minds, by talking about him and reliving old memories. The pain of losing him will never leave, but it has softened into a lonesome longing.

[@TenCapQuesada]

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.

Life is one long succession of losses punctuating an existence of joy and perseverance. Without the beauty of the ocean, the mountains and the sunsets and sunrises... Without the love and acceptance of those we love... ...Life would be unbearable. And without the pain of defeat and loss, we wouldn't know how finite our time is and how much we should cherish it, as well as the people around us.

You should play them a song from the band Cream, which Eric was a part of in his early career. Crossroads is a song he sang with the group. I suggested others but found out that Jack Bruce was the lead singer in most of the songs that the band played. I learned something new. White Room, Tales Of Great Ulysses, and Sunshine Of Your Love are some of my favorites that Cream produced. Eric Clapton was their lead guitarist and does a masterful job as usual. I truly appreciate what you're doing here and how you're sharing the music with these gentlemen. Live long and prosper, my friend.
