Kim started a Saturday song challenge. I love music. All kinds and genres. Today I seem to be in a melancholy sort of mood. This song is kind of sad but beautiful as well.
“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.
Clapton, who arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident, was visibly distraught for months afterwards. This song is one of Clapton’s most successful.

The first time I’m hearing this song.
It’s a lovely song.
Thanks for sharing!
Isn’t it amazing? Very sad but I love it.
This is my most favorite songs written by him, and he is my idol. Ah eric… Anyway, great choice here, and the answer is YES!
I am glad to hear Kim. It touches my heart but I listen though the tears.
Yup, me too. Big ole lump in my throat..
It is hard to decide on which song to share, this one expressed exactly how I was feeling yesterday for some reason.
you can feel the loss, the pain he felt in this song. I can’t listen to it without tearing up.
You know I can’t either. Especially knowing he too lost a child.
sorry I just put two and two together. Yeah that has to be a double whammy for you.
Yep! But I still listen through the tears, it is sort of comforting.
i love claptons stuff. For me, the song is Old Man. that one gets me every time.
I love them all, and have not thought of that song in awhile. I need to listen again.
Lovely song he sings so beautifully
Yes and this one really touches your heart when you hear the backstory.
I knew the story but I have never heard the song
The song is one of my all time favorites.
I love Eric Clapton. But now I mainly listen to gospel music.
Dawn, This was written many years ago when he lost his child. Heartbreaking.
Beautiful song. I really like to listen to his songs.
I love this song and the meaning behind it touches my heart.
Good to know you like this talented musician as well.

Oh I am so glad you do. It was a huge hit and I still listen.
Oh this song made me cry. Thanks for sharing it. This was good for the soul.
I have been crying a lot today. You are welcome. Tears are good for our souls.
The meaning of the song is what really gets me.
