I saw Eric in MSG in NYC in 2017. When he started this song there was an audible "aww..".in the crowd. I thought it was an odd choice because it's such a sad reminder. Then I was curious how long it had been since Connor passed, well it turned out the concert was on the anniversary of his passing (March 20). Eric didn't say that, he doesn't talk to the crowd at all, he just plays. Makes me wonder if it's not usually in his playlist, he just did on that special day.

@aj71169 3 жыл бұрын

He’s known for his guitar work, and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times(two groups, one solo). As he’s gotten older, he’s gravitated away from the driving rock of his youth to more blues-based music. It’s a good rabbit hole choice, if for nothing else to see the evolution of an artist over the decades he’s been performing. Not as necessarily something to react to, but after you’ve listened to some of his earlier music, I suggest setting aside a block of time for ‘Eric immersion’ and listening to the 24 Nights album(I prefer the audio-only version. Yes, the same album has two versions), which is a good mix of rock and blues. He does Old Love and Wonderful Tonight back-to-back... 20 minutes of mmm mmm musical goodness. If you continue with Eric, I’m sure you will get plenty of suggestions for those songs. I usually suggest live versions after hearing the studio. Then listen to the Unplugged album. Come join us in Clapton-land. We think you’ll like it.😁

The song as everyone has said was a tribute to his son that died at age 4. The video playing while he was singing was a movie called Rush. It was about 2 cops that went undercover and got hooked on heroin. They lost their jobs but at some point she decides to get clean but she still loved him. And she found him overdosed and managed to revive him till she finds him dead in the park. The movie was sad but knowing the meaning of the song was even stronger.

He wrote this after his 4-year-old son fell 50 stories to his death!!! The song was in a movie, I forget the name. But the first time he sang this live was at The Grammys that year, and before the song was finished, everybody in the building was in tears!! It was an amazing TV moment!

The movie is called “ Rush” and when the song plays in the movie it hits very hard, it’s about 2 undercover narcotics officers who get in too deep and both get hooked on drugs during their investigation and the male cop tragically dies

This wasn't the only one written for Conor. Genesis wrote one for him as well, as Tony, Mike and Phil were all good friends of Eric's (Phil produced two of Eric's solo albums, toured with him twice and had him appear on a couple of his own solo songs). It was "Since I Lost You", the penultimate track from their 1992 album We Can't Dance. "Tears In Heaven" was also done for a foundation called "Save The Children" in response to the 2004 Tsunami in Indonesia. This had Rod Stewart, Elton John, Ozzy & Kelly Osbourne, P!nk and Steven Tyler among others. Phil is on there as well; you can see him appear alongside Gwen Stefani in the video.

Conor died on 20 March 1991 at the age of four after falling out of an open bedroom window on the 53rd floor of a Manhattan apartment building! RIP Conor

He didn’t fall out of a window. He was in the habit of running into a large window and bumping against it. It finally gave out.

Don't care if this was posted a year ago, but I just have to say, this song is the only song I have ever listened to that has made me cry every time I've listened to it. It has a power to it, an aura, as if the tragedy this song was made about is imbued within it and you can feel the pain Eric felt. It's a masterpiece in the saddest possible way, rest in peace, Conor Clapton, it wasn't your time.

I was 11 when Clapton's son died. I could still remember the news reports. Even at that age I was shaken by it. It was just heartbreaking. Wings from Marie and 10,000 days (wings for Marie part 2), by Tool are also gut wrenching. They are about the unwavering faith of the singer's mother, after she suffered a stroke, which left her paralyzed and in a wheel chair for 27 years, which is about 10,000 days. They are long songs, but a testament to she was a force, and an inspiration, to not just her son, but the entire band itself. You can hear it in every aspect of the music.

I was 10 years old when it happened and I was extremely shaken up as well, it affected me very much even at a young age. Just awful
