7-day wayback music challenge: Day 5 – Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven
@verhp11 nominated me for this challenge which I take with both hands because It's all about the music :)
For this day, I have chosen this one of Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven, because that song made an everlasting impression on me still…till this very day!
Besides that I really like this song, I later understood why Eric Clapton made this emotional song. He wrote the song on the occasion of the fatal accident of his four-year-old son Conor, who fell down from the window of the 53rd floor of a skyscraper on 20 March 1991.
Many years later when we lost our own son at birth, I listened to the repeat mode for days on end.

This song is very special to me! And it's still the only song I know how to play on the gitarr.
Very powerful song, I remember it as a child.
Another song also about Clapton's son is the Genesis song "Since I Lost You" from the album "We Can't Dance". They played it for Clapton and he really appreciated it according to Phil Collins' autobiography.
"And my heart is broken in pieces"
I find that with "Tears In Heaven" there's a lot in common with the song "Imagine" by John Lennon in terms of how it makes me feel.
It's a great emotional song.... You can almost hear the pain in his voice.. I hope it helped you processing...
A powerful choice for this challenge. So sorry for your loss. I understand only too well. I lost two sons. Nothing ever completely takes away the pain and emptiness.
I love this song! There is a defeated man, understanding that actions have consequences, how we often are negligent to the children we brought in life, often discarding them because we can't bear the responsibilities that come with it, or just not ready to be a parent
