I didn’t know that his son fell from the 53rd floor from a building that is extremely sad. The video kind of throws me for a loop but that’s why we have you guys here to correct us if we are headed in the wrong direction of understanding what the music is actually about thank you guys.
@@christophermetz9196 I was kid but older kid Teen when Conner died I even believe he would took over for his dad as a artist but we will never know but we have this song
@@christophermetz9196 Eric Clapton is strong man not in looks or body but in soul I'm pretty sure Eric wish it was him to go not his kid pretty sure Eric is thinking now he's ready to go when times right to see his son once again
After our dad passed at the young age of 58 my mom was beyond heartbroken and asked why she couldn't die with him! They married at 18, had 4 kids and were just shy of celebrating their 41st anniversary. Mom is now 73 and has never wanted to be with anyone else. She knows when her time comes she will be with dad again ❤
I’m so sorry you lost your dad. Bless you all and your mom. My husband very suddenly passed away just over 3 years ago. We have 4 adult children and grandchildren. Our youngest played n sang this song at his service. My son had never performed in front of anyone or been mic-ed up. He got a standing ovation. Our hearts turned to dust the day we lost him. It has changed our lives forever. I too am not interested. I had my happily ever after.
He wrote this song in 1991 after the loss of he little son he was still reeling from the loss of his good friend Stevie Ray Vaughan he lost in August 1990 and wanted too write this song too help him with his Grief . I love this song it is a beauty.
Literally the saddest song ever wrote,I've been crying to his song for 30 years lol Rip young Conor Clapton I am a father and I couldn't imagine,show love to the family you just don't know
I think it's the saddest song, because the events that lead to the song being written. I think there are other songs that are sadder lyrically, and musically.
I remember that day. Found out about Conner's death that morning on the news and was distraught and distracted as though it was someone in my own family. Couldn't wait to leave work, pick up my son at the babysitter, and hug him.
The comment before mine about Clapton's son is true. The song appears in the film Rush. A very intense movie. It's about two undercover narcotics cops who end up hooked on heroin themselves.
The video is from the movie RUSH the song was on the soundtrack. The movie is about two undercover narcotic officers who get hooked on the drugs their not supposed to actually take with the criminals they buy from, .....but they do. Stars Jason Patrick from the Lost Boys, Jennifer Jason Lee from Fast Times at Ridgemont high, Sam Elliot the eternal mustache and cowboy, and Greg Allman from the Allman bros band as the ultimate drug dealer. It is a sad movie, and a sad song and situation with his son to inspire it. The song was his catharsis to help get over the tremendous pain. He had to share that with more than just himself. The world was glad to help Eric, we all love him.
I had to make the decision to pull the plug on my mom after she suffered a stroke during a long cancer treatment, and that's as short as I can tell that story. This song always takes me back to that choice.
The movie clips are from "Rush", 1991. The couple are undercover cops in the 70's struggling with drug addiction. Clapton wrote the soundtrack. He also lives about 2 miles up the road from me, really nice guy.
I met Eric, in a weird place. Price Chopper. We were both looking at dried soup mixes. I am a very laid back person. The more excited I feel in public, the calmer I appear,...until I get home. Anyway, Eric and I was looking at soups. I knew exactly who I was talking to. I said "You look so much like Eric Clapton." He was so calm, cool and collected. He said "People tell me that all the time" He knew that I knew. It was pretty cool.
Yeah Dean Bros., this song was written for his son who died as you indicated in your comment. The horrific event caused Eric to commit himself to a drug-free lifestyle.
His toddler son fell off the balcony of a high rise and died. Then he wrote this song. That's why it sounds like he feels it personally. It's because he does.
The pain is from losing his beautiful baby boy Connor 4yrs old fell from a 53 story we indow of his Mothers NY apartment, that a maintenance man left open while working. RIP Connor.
You guys should do Angel Eyes by The Jeff Healy Band. The lead singer is blind so the lyrics are incredible if you keep that in mind. My ex, longest relationship I've had at 8 years, always said that song reminded him of me. I think you guys would really love it, excellent voice and very catchy!
It was for his toddler son who fell out of window of a skyscraper in New York. I happened to be working across the street that day and you never saw so many police cars. By the way the movie is called “Rush” about two undercover cops who infiltrate a drug operation. Good film. This was on the soundtrack.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost both of my first set of twins in 1992 (they lived for six hours, and twelve hours after birth) so I share your grief and understanding of Eric's heartbreak. Stay safe. Stay well.💕
@@brigidsingleton1596 thank you Brigid for your kind words. I'm very sorry for your loss of your beautiful twins. Equally I feel that sharing how that feels and knowing you understand is of comfort to me although obviously I wish it hadn't happened to your family too. If that makes sense?Please stay safe too and take care x
Andy Farmer Thankyou for taking the time & effort to reply to my comment. I appreciate your having donce so. Apologies for my belated respinse, my eyesight is very poor these days & I musspell many things & miss comments & notifications due to genuine eye strain.. However, an still hopful there are days to come which will let me see what kind people write when (I hope this mamkes sense as I struggle to see what I am typing !! Take care...& thanks again. R.I.P, Connor & our little ones.💕💕💕.
@@brigidsingleton1596 no problem at all,and thanks for the effort of replying as well and yes you take care too and no need to apologise for replying when you feel able to, I wish you well xxx
This was written for his toddler her fell from over 50 floors- the scenes are from a movie called “Rush.” HIGHLY recommend y’all check out the movie too! Rest In Peace precious baby Connor-- 💔🙌🏻
Everytime I hear this song, I think of his son Conor. Clapton said he was in such despair that writing this song helped him save himself. He and his wife divorced after the tragedy and he drank a lot. I don't know why I get this image in my head, but I bet he celebrates his son's birthday every year. I wish I knew for sure.
The movie in the music video is about 2 undercover officers posing as a couple trying to bring down some heroin dealers but they soon start getting strung out on the drug as well and they have to save each other.
The video that they are showing is from the movie called Rush , the couple they show are under cover drug agents and are trying to get to this big time drug dealer in South Texas the music in that movie is awesome. The guy ends up dying if you get a chance watch that movie
In Episode 1 of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Bucky's date says, "Someone who's wife dies is called a widower. If you're parents die you're called an orphan. What do you call someone who's child dies?" Broken. Someone who has to bury their own child is broken.
It's his spouse, his friend, some old guy... I'm paused for real right now. If they find out what happened before the end of the video, it will break my heart.
You guys are adorable. The movie is rush with Jason Patrick henis a junkie why he look sick. Song was for his little boy who was playing by a hotel window and it gave way and boy fell to his death. Incant even begin to imagine how Eric Clapton has suffered
great song great reaction...you guys aren't afraid to feel. if you like emotional songs try boyz ll men "how do i say good-bye" Even without the movie {cooly high) it's still touches the heart
To bad you didn't react to his MTV unplugged performance of this song. Because that video doesn't represent what the songs about. Plus the live has more of an close intimate surrounding which makes it so much better.
the movie is RUSH .Dude is a junkie undercover cop and they bring in the female fresh from cop school get her to help him bring down the local drug dealer played by Greg Allman Brothers Band.It is a great movie
I do not think he was a junkie until the HEAD ring leader dealer made them try the drugs in front of him... to prove they weren’t cops-VERY intense scene as he eyeballed their expressions, etc.. to see if he could tell- since they could not blow their cover they had to act natural and do it.. to get outta there alive..sooo..
Don't know what the film is and they may have played this song in the film but it is about his son who died falling from their apartment building. The video detracts from the song.
Everybody that does a reaction video to this song always shows the video from the film Rush, which it was recorded for. They should actually be viewing the Unplugged version so there are no misleading distractions about the content.
This was and has always been extremely sad. Great reaction & video as always... This was written about his son who passed away, not sure why the video is like this.
This film is called Rush..Clapton did the music for the movie but this song was written for his son..it has nothing to do with the movie Rush. ..it's a movie mostly about drugs. No idea why someone would tie this song with that movie..
I didn’t know that his son fell from the 53rd floor from a building that is extremely sad. The video kind of throws me for a loop but that’s why we have you guys here to correct us if we are headed in the wrong direction of understanding what the music is actually about thank you guys.
Yes RIP to his son till this day Eric Clapton will always miss his son he always sings it in his concerts to show how much he misses loves his son
Rip Connor you are so missed
@@christophermetz9196 I was kid but older kid Teen when Conner died I even believe he would took over for his dad as a artist but we will never know but we have this song
It must suck so much for anyone to lose their kids
@@christophermetz9196 Eric Clapton is strong man not in looks or body but in soul I'm pretty sure Eric wish it was him to go not his kid pretty sure Eric is thinking now he's ready to go when times right to see his son once again
This was about his young son who died falling out of a hotel window
I knew it was something
It wasn't a hotel, it was out of the mom's home in a New York city skyscraper. Fell out an open window from the 53rd floor. Truly horrible
After our dad passed at the young age of 58 my mom was beyond heartbroken and asked why she couldn't die with him! They married at 18, had 4 kids and were just shy of celebrating their 41st anniversary. Mom is now 73 and has never wanted to be with anyone else.

That's true love ,man ✌👊❤
Clapton is the only person inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame 3x.
Its about his young son Conner who fell from a 54th floor apartment window and died . R.I.P.
He wrote this song in 1991 after the loss of he little son he was still reeling from the loss of his good friend Stevie Ray Vaughan he lost in August 1990 and wanted too write this song too help him with his Grief . I love this song it is a beauty.
Literally the saddest song ever wrote,I've been crying to his song for 30 years lol
Rip young Conor Clapton
I am a father and I couldn't imagine,show love to the family you just don't know
True.... But I've just listened to James blunts "monsters".... Pretty close 2nd

I can't imagine the hurt and sadness he must have felt loosing his very young son. Bless his soul!
Unspeakable tragedy - unspeakable grief.
Song is way sadder when you know the context
RIP to his son
You guys are so young and yet so emotionally mature. Fantastic reaction. It was about his young son. Shockingly tragic event that happened.
Great response this why I'm a huge fan of you guys you exlpore different music and your very opened minded.
Beautiful song. I cannot imagine the pain .
Great song. You'll never go wrong with these classics.
I remember this being on the news so sad n crazy
The movie clips are from the movie Rush, this song was on its soundtrack. It's a good movie too
Yes! Great, but sad movie
It's about his 4 year old son, who died falling from a window on the 53rd floor after the housekeeper opened the window to clean it..
That’s sad af really
I had to make the decision to pull the plug on my mom after she suffered a stroke during a long cancer treatment, and that's as short as I can tell that story. This song always takes me back to that choice.
Always felt a sadness listening to this song but now as a father my heart breaks when I hear it.
He wrote son felt of the window
The movie clips are from "Rush", 1991. The couple are undercover cops in the 70's struggling with drug addiction. Clapton wrote the soundtrack. He also lives about 2 miles up the road from me, really nice guy.
NOW IM GOING TO WATCH IT
@@DeanBros y’all should! Excellent movie!!
Here's a link to the story behind the song, "Tears In Heaven". ua-cam.com/video/-gbDPJTPYNs/v-deo.html
I met Eric, in a weird place. Price Chopper. We were both looking at dried soup mixes. I am a very laid back person. The more excited I feel in public, the calmer I appear,...until I get home.

Damn this song makes me 😢 💧 up.
This song hits me deep in a personal level for a reason it hurts to talk about till this day but good reaction keep up the good work
This was dedicated to his son. No one should have to bury there son or daughter ever.
Yeah Dean Bros., this song was written for his son who died as you indicated in your comment. The horrific event caused Eric to commit himself to a drug-free lifestyle.
His toddler son fell off the balcony of a high rise and died. Then he wrote this song. That's why it sounds like he feels it personally. It's because he does.

The video doesn’t reflect the reason this was written. It was written as others have said for Eric Clapton’s son who fell to his death.
This song is so sad and so perfect.
And some of us older wonder how there can in the world be such beauty as this girl who is so fascinating.
I lost a child in 1994 so this song has always been very special to me so thank you for reacting to this. ❤️ RIP Connor.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I lost both of my first set of twins in 1992 (they lived for six hours, and twelve hours after birth) so I share your grief and understanding of Eric's heartbreak.
Stay safe. Stay well.💕

Live like you were dying by Tim McGraw
I remember when this news came up and when he released this song every guitar player wanted to learn to play it.
This was written for his toddler her fell from over 50 floors- the scenes are from a movie called “Rush.” HIGHLY recommend y’all check out the movie too! Rest In Peace precious baby Connor-- 💔🙌🏻

Song is about his son who died accidentally , characters in video are to a movie that Eric Clapton ' s music was used in
Eric is one of Britain's best guitarists 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The movie in the music video is about 2 undercover officers posing as a couple trying to bring down some heroin dealers but they soon start getting strung out on the drug as well and they have to save each other.
One, if not thee saddest song's ever
The video that they are showing is from the movie called Rush , the couple they show are under cover drug agents and are trying to get to this big time drug dealer in South Texas the music in that movie is awesome. The guy ends up dying if you get a chance watch that movie
Wonderful tonight by Clapton
He wrote the song for his 5 year old son that fell of their balcony at their New York apartment .
Love you two....hope everyone is well...keep up the great work
R.I.P Conner clapton
This was a very deeply personal song for him due to a son falling off a balcony.

Some negative criticism in comments, take or leave em!!
Love ur channel keep up the good work u 2

"Slow hand" Clapton. He wrote this song for his deceased child. A son, I believe. 😔😪😪😪
Tut tut. Put research before easy money guys !!
Very emotional 😥
I believe the song is about Eric Clapton's son that passed away.
It was about his son who fell out a window in Manhattan when he was a baby,
It's about his 4 year old son who feel out of a 53 story building to his death.
lol reading the comments, it's kinda funny how everybody has a different version of how his son died.. #telephonegame..
It happens
Dont think funny is the right word
@@SweeranSwift true but it's take out of context
Eric son fall out of 52 stories window to his death in New York apartment. Eric and his wife lost there son. Very very sad story.
"Prolly got schizophrenic?" That's a big assumption 😆🤣😂😹😆🤣
Don't know what the film is and they may have played this song in the film but it is about his son who died falling from their apartment building. The video detracts from the song.
😭😭😭😭I love this jam
They wrote this song about the death of his child
It was about his little boy that died falling out a window.
Everybody that does a reaction video to this song always shows the video from the film Rush, which it was recorded for. They should actually be viewing the Unplugged version so there are no misleading distractions about the content.
Death is part of life ..... you move to a higher plane .....
RIP Conor one of God's angels.peace out
his little boy... ) ;
Its from the movie Rush
INTERESTING
This was and has always been extremely sad. Great reaction & video as always... This was written about his son who passed away, not sure why the video is like this.
Show respect for a man who lost his son.
he wrote it for his 3 yr old son who fell out of a 90 story building
It a couple trying to deal with the death of a little one.

You should react to Tim McGraw’s song “Live Like You Were Dying”. This song is from the movie “Rush”. It’s about drug addiction.
The song is based on Eric's 4 year old son who fell from a 3 story window and died.
For his son
This film is called Rush..Clapton did the music for the movie but this song was written for his son..it has nothing to do with the movie Rush. ..it's a movie mostly about drugs. No idea why someone would tie this song with that movie..
You can't always get the meaning of a song from a music video
It literally takes a few seconds to google it
His 4 yr. Old son fell out of a window and passed away.
Heartbreaking song even when we dont know the context..
I want to send y’all a t-shirt if that’s ok from concerts.
