    Amber, you have no idea how emotional this song is. This was a song written for Eric’s young son, Conor, who died tragically in a terrible fall when he was only 5 years old. Not easy to listen to. It was also used in the film Rush. That’s some footage from it in the video. The director at first did not want to use the song. Eric sent him a tape of the song with just his voice and his guitar, and the guy thought it was just too raw and heartbreaking to use because he knew instantly who the song was about, but Eric asked him to please use it.

    Written about his 4 year old son, who fell out of a 53rd floor window that was left open. What makes it even more heart breaking is that Eric Clapton was a few blocks away on his way to pick up his son to go to the zoo.
    It amazes me that he could even write this let alone perform it. The pain, but endurance in this man must be mental.

    I haven't even watched the video yet. But I guarantee Amber is going to cry. I remember the first time this song was played on the radio in New York City. This is where Eric's son tragically felt to his death at only 3 years old. All of us who were rock and roll fans were devastated. It is the first and only time in my entire life that I actually had to pull over and park my car because the song was making me cry so hard and I couldn't drive. Eric has since started a charitable organization it his son's name to try and find some good in this awful event. This is the most eloquent expression of heartbreak I have ever heard.
    So now I finished watching the video. Just as I predicted even without knowing the story behind the song Amber got the feeling and emotion that was put into it. Now, go watch it again listen to the lyrics and realize he's talking about his baby boy. You'll cry buckets this time.

      At the time of the accident, some media speculated it was Clapton's apt, but that turned out to be incorrect. Conor & his mother, Lory del Santo, were staying in the apt. of her boyfriend, Silvio Sardi. Clapton was in a near-by hotel, getting ready to walk to the apt, to pick up Conor for lunch, when he got the call from Lory.

    I have no idea how he ever made it through this song. I lost my 9 day old daughter, Mary in January 2005. She was 11 weeks early and had so much wrong with her, but she fought for 9 days. January 2022, Mary would've turned 18. Losing a child is never easy but I knew she was going to pass. Losing a child tragically with no warning, I can't imagine.

    A beautiful song arising from devastating tragedy. This song came out a year after my father died and when I played it for my mother, we were both in tears. This is the first time I've heard it since she passed last year and it made me cry yet again.

    Lost my baby girl to fentanyl in 2016....this song means so much to me. I feel his pain. You never get over the loss of your child, you just learn to go on with your life without her. Didn't think I could go on at the time, but I realized with my faith, that I WILL see her again ....in heaven....my purple girl...💜💜💜💜

    I’m actually very glad Amber (and Jay, but especially Amber) did not know the history behind this song. This reaction video was most likely filmed after the birth of their own son, and I don’t want to imagine the sorrow and anguish the knowledge would have caused them. When Amber cries, I cry 😭 She was tearing up just thinking it was a sweet, hopeful song. I can’t imagine her reaction knowing it was about the death of a young child. 💔

    This song is so emotional. In the song he asks: would you know my name, would you hold my hand... He's talking to his son Conor who is in heaven, because when Conor was alive, Eric Clapton was mostly absent in his life. The tragic part in the tragedy is that Conor died just when Eric Clapton realized how important his son was for him

My son died in December of 1983 but the pain at this time of year is still with me every year. I love your reaction Amber. Imagine if you loss one of your children. You felt his pain in that song. I love you sweet Amber. Your compassion for others shines through.

    Yes as several have commented here....Eric wrote this for his son, Connor.
    It breaks my heart for him, each time I hear it.
    How he manages to get through it...let alone write it, is amazing.
    How does one ever get over losing a child?!
    Conor was four years old when he fell many stories through a hotel window .
    The maintenance crew was working, and had left the window open.

    I think this just shows how compassionate you are, Amber. I don't think you knew the circumstances behind this song before you read all the comments about it being about Conor Clapton and you were still moved to tears. I'm sure if you went and listened to it again knowing about that sweet little boy the tears will be even stronger, as they are for most of us who cry every time we hear this.

  • @LonelyFarmerScythe

    This song has always made me want to cry. But, after I found out the tragedy behind Clapton writing the song, it makes me want to cry even more. The pain of losing a beloved child at the age of 4 (if I remember clearly, his son fell out of a window in a high rise). Clapton is one on the best guitarists in the world. But his vocals, in his ballads, stir real emotion. That is what makes him a true legend. I suspect you have already done these songs, but “Layla”, and “Wonderful Tonight” are some of his best ballads. Have you checked out any of his songs under the band name Cream, or Derek and the Dominoes? He’s not bad for an old man, right? That’s probably why at the age of 78, he is the 2nd on Rolling Stone’s Top 100 greatest guitar players of all time.
