A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ KZfaq. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of KZfaq I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on KZfaq won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This KZfaq channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

He had not seen his son in about a year so when he was 3.....he spent the day taking him to the circuis....the next day he was supposed to go to the zoo....he was so excited after seeing his father he kept running away from the nanny. They lived on the penthouse of a highrise and a worker was replacing broken glass on a floor to ceiling window. While the window pane was out the kid , running from his nanny excited to see his dad, ran straight out the open window and fell 53 stories to his death. His mom didn't blame anyone and said she knew the second she saw him go through that hole there was no way he would be OK. It was several years before they started over with their family. He wrote this to help cope with that event. His wife called frantically to Eric's hotel to tell him what happened. Every time he gets to that "Begging Please" lyric I can't help but think about how I would react in his situation and sobbing begging please no.....always shed a tear right there.

@ Roger Boltin Well said. When I first heard this song 20 years ago, I loved it for its own sake.

When I read about his son’s death and that THAT was the catalyst for this song, I cried. I’ve been crying ever since, too. BE SAFE. Peace...✌️

I think people had such respect for the song he wrote for his 4-year old boy who died. People were crying because it packs so much emotion in such a simple song. Absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time!

I've always said this, how he managed to sing a single note in the years fresh after Conor died is beyond me.

There's also a precautionary aspect if people know the whole story. And since some people are expecting children... some support or "guard" gave way when the child went to the window. He'd do that often and the nanny thought it was secure. It was a freak accident. Never put a child in a situation where "fail" could cause death or injury. Remember Michael Jackson and the balcony controversy? You want a nice big buffer between your child and death -- especially when they're too young to help themselves.

We were visiting “family” (not blood related), and I was talking with one of them, when the song came on. I just broke down and ran to another room and cried my heart out. Our daughter was 19 at the time. She would have been 33 now. My heart still breaks when I hear it. It just also breaks for Eric Clapton, knowing what it feels like to lose a child.

This is the saddest song that Eric Clapton have done. It was heartfelt, it was about his 4 year old son, who died falling out of his mothers high rise apartment in New York. She and Eric were not living together, Eric was suppose to pick up Conor and spend the day with him, when Conor's mother called and told him. Juse heartbreaking.

This song he has said he will no longer play as he has finally stopped grieving and has moved on and can't do it justice anymore. This one is about his 4yo son, but even before this he lost another older son in a car accident. He now has two daughters that he dotes on and solely focuses on and doesn't perform nearly as much as he did in the past.

Eric Clapton is someone you need to know. We call him Slowhand. One of the originals from the 60's hippie Era who lived to tell. He beat heroin. Survived alcoholism. After the death of his only child he did retire for a bit, but thankfully made a comeback. Eric was friends with Jimi Hendrix, B.B.King. Is friends with Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, to name a few. Has played in many bands. And he is still alive to this day. Eric Clapton is a treasure to the world.
