My father...who grew me up with Eric's tracks and who we drank whisky together is now in intensive care because of cancer..they said the rest of his life is about 5 months but his cancer is very agressive,he is not able to talk.now ı am back at home and everywhere smells him and this track appeared and ı am totally down! :((( so,,to the people who is listening this track,ı want a pray for him from what you believe god,Allah or something else,ı really feel so lonely and ı hope your all family passes their lifes with health and happinnes..cheers... luv ya all...
Thank you for your words. I made a prayer also for him and your family but don't cry, i lost my father in 1996, i loved him so much and was a terrible pain but day by day he helps you to accept his dead and the desperation comes acceptable, as that of my mother. They don't want you sad and crying but thinking that now they are in a new dimension, in peace and serenity. Just doing this they can help and protect you h 24. Be strong!!!
From France, I send you and your father ( here or on the other side ) so much love. I'm sure your father don't want to see you so sad ! God loves you and him ! ❤❤❤Sorry for my very bad english...
My father passed from Covid complications 6 months ago - still miss him everyday. Music keeps me sane and learning about faith in God after 64 years. Life is a journey in progress. Thanks for making that journey more pleasant, Eric Clapton!

Nobody else on this planet is able to play this delicate introduction. Eric is really inspired during the whole song, he masters every second of it with genius.
My Father and I were very close, then in my early twenties we had a bad agreement over a foolish decision I made and he was forced to make a tough decision to put me in jail. Am older now, we made amends, but I still feel poorly for putting my Father through that terrible ordeal. Then I think of Mr. Clapton and the problems he had with his family of origin. Makes my story look like a fairytale. God Bless you Mr. Clapton, thank you for your strength and healing.
I'm listening to this with tears streaming down my face . As my dad passed away this morning. He was a huge fan of Eric Clapton, as I am to. He was 66 years old and I will miss him forever.
We hear you my friend. This song meant SO much to me and I lost a lot of tears when my dad passed. We're all reaching out to you and we share your pain. Hang in there -- you know your dad would be proud of the love you feel for him. Love is forever.
When I was a kid my dad would play Eric's lives on tv and record it...we would run everytime knowing it was going to be playing all day! Tomorrow will be my Daddy's first birthday in heaven and here I am listening to him just to feel those day's again!!😭😭😭😭
Been a Clapton fan as a teenager in the 70s. He writes songs like no other, and his melodies are astonishingly complex but a delight to listen to, 'change the world' being a perfect example. My No.1 choice if stranded on a desert island. And still probably, the coolest guy on the planet. Thank you EC.❤
“He’s always with me.” - that’s what everyone who has lost a loved on needs to remember. They are ALWAYS with us. God blesses the broken hearted, for he surrounds them.
Eric Clapton never really knew his father ... which makes this song so much more meaningful .. especially when he sings "thats when I need them; that's when I need my fathers eyes"
I'm 23 and I love his music too. I'm going to watch him for the first time here in Argentina, as my dad make me listen his music when I was just a child. I'm so exited!
This song made me cry, i miss my father so much, he died when i was 13.. i always keep imagining versions of conversations we might have had if he was still here. Beautiful song.
Every time I hear this beautiful song, my eyes well up thinking about my darling father. The older I get, I realise how much I miss his guiding hand helping me through my life. I have a photograph on top of the tele, which I place a kiss on every night. If I ever needed him, it is now, more than ever xxx
So Sorry for the loss of your dear Father ! Grieving the loss of a parent is such a sad process , it begins on the day that they pass away and ends on the day that you join them ! Take Care Friend 😢
Eric Clapton ist ein Segen für die Welt der Musik. Ein Segen für sein Publikum. Ich durfte ihn bei seinem letzten Deutschland Konzert in Mannheim Deutschland 🇩🇪 erleben. Vielen Dank

When music is made to release suffering, it becomes beauty, goodness and lessons for going beyond suffering and struggles. Eric knows the blues from life experiences. He lost a new friend in the sudden death of Jimi Hendrix, on the day they were to meet for dinner, and Eric purchased a left handed Fender Strat for the wonderful guitarist. Yes, Eric knows tragedy and suffering from first hand experience, and yet keeps on playing, rising up and growing. God bless you Eric. XX
May his soul rest in peace..i wish u courage😪..i lost my dad too long time ago but i started lately to realize it and didn t cry until now....keep the faith❤
Totally in agreement with you! He is very passionate when he sings and plays his guitar !!! He touches my heart and my soul every day I listen to him. I love Clapton too much!!!
I am 72 years old and about 6 months ago I started to try to learn how to play slow blues on electric guitar,which I don't think I'll ever be able to do.Istarted to listen and watch Eric Clapton and I'm like several others who have said some of his songs bring me to tears,he is the best ever,I just wish I had started watching his videos earlier in life
My dad had the most beautiful eyes. Looking into the them brought comfort and eased my spirit. Soon to be 20 years since he left, I miss him everyday. This song brings comfort and tears. I love you Dad.
My dad also had the most beautiful blue eyes. Looking into the them brought me comfort and eased my spirit as well. It's been 15 years since he left, I miss him everyday too. Yes, this song brings comfort and tears. I never tire of listening to it. I love you Dad. Thank you Eric Clapton. 7
I lost my father 43 years ago , not a day goes by I don't think of him and all my family who have passed before me such a hollow feeling . Your words brought comfort in the memories .
This mans ability to move past tragedy and personal challenges, is more so of a testimony as to who he is, than his music. I think this is eric claptons best performance , he has done it all and this piece of his work shows his faithfulness to his craft, absolutely amazing!
You nailed it!! I dunno how he was able to write and perform songs about such tragedies. To me that keeps opening up wounds.. but it's probably his coping mechanic though. And we love him for this .
Who can forget Tears in Heaven. Probably the greatest tragedy in his life. The way he takes the pain, all very personal pain, and creates such music is beyond comprehension.
This guy is such a talent.His depth is incredible, especially his songwriting imo.Id say his guitar playing is what most think of first, but its his songwriting that really puts the icing on the cake for me.What a phenomenon this guy is!!
Eric Clapton is a man blessed of the Lord! He had a very rough life, been thru hell and here he is playing like never before, has a beautiful family! I admire him as a man and musician!
When you don’t have a big wedding you don’t think about those special moments that you get to enjoy. I lost my father nine years ago this week and I wish we had that father-daughter dance we deserved.
Today would be my father's 85th birthday and this song feels truly special. Music enables the most powerful connection to my deepest feelings and, at this very moment, Dad, I look into your soul and thank you for the wonderful memories. You will never be missed.
As a new father who wasn't able to have much relationship with his father, this song hits deep. Every verse rings true. You are just always caught off guard at how unready to teach and help a child grow into a successful adult and be responsible for their life. It's also great to hear a song talking about the importance of a father in a child's life. I also see some spiritual connection to the lyrics if you think of it as our "father" in heaven who will guide and teach you and our need for Him in our lives.
My mother didn't physically die, but something in her died when I was ten years old, and I had to grow up and become an adult. So, in a way, I understand your pain.
My 90 year old father passed away last week. I was so blessed to bring home for his final days. I will never forget the last time I looked in my fathers eyes. There was joy. And then he slipped away. I’ll always have our memories, I dedicate this song to the best dad a girl could ever have had.
Eric Clapton is one of the nicest people that I have ever worked with. He’s a fine and true gentleman and very generous with his time. His talent is unmatched on this planet. A very cool dude!
Philip Retenauer I AGREE HE IS CHARMING I HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING HIM WE HAVE A BOND AS PARENTS HE LOST CONNER I LOST MYRNA MUSIC AND WORK GOD FIRST STAY BUSY YOU HAVE EACHOTHER PEAPOLE PULL TOGETHER AND KEEP ON KEEPING ON HES A GENIUS I LOST MY DAD AT103 YEARS YOUNG I MISS HIM BUT IM NOT SAD THIS SONG FOR YOU DAD 🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁🙋♂️THANKS FRIEND 🤝🤝🤝🤝👂👀👀👀👀🙋♂️SGT,USMC
@Slow Cheetah Yeah, he has said he used to be an asshole messed up on alcohol and drugs, but he cleaned up and is a great dude now and has been for quite a long time. Met him in a pub in Asheville NC around 12 years ago. He spent around 1.5 hours with me and some friends. Was hanging with us for like 30 min. before I asked him name, since I had not recognized him. He was having a good time being just another bloke. Nice guy with no head up his ass.
I wanted to look into my father's eyes but he refused (even in hospital when he was going to die 1992) he had a war trauma so, I hate the war so, I love my father ❤
He never met his Father....Eric was the illegitimate son of a Canadian flyer who was in GB during the War...knocked-up his Mom, then returned to Canada. His young Mom then lived with her Mother and gave birth to Eric. As a cover story, Eric was raised to believe his Mom was his SISTER and that his Grandmother was his Mother !! So I believe his search for his Father will never be over...perhaps he wrote this song to "air" his pain relating to this life issue just as his "Tears in Heaven" was written to help him deal with the loss of his child Connor who died tragically. Our love of his great music is rooted in his life tragedies without which they would never have been written. He always has been a "Blues-Rocker" and a great song writer who has had MULTIPLE successful careers spanning literally more than 1/2 Century. Thanks man....you have made your mark with millions of loyal fans and WILL do it again with generations yet unborn.
Beautifully written and thank you so much for sharing your heartwarming story... My father was an alcoholic and abused my mother and us 4 kids... I have been using my music therapy group on my msgr now and with that said I've been listening to rock and roll since I was 13yrs old it's my 1st love as is This Man...
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts on Eric he is a great gift from Our Father God I was abused by my alcoholic father until I was 13yrs old and never wanted to look into his eyes... Music is my therapy and rock is my heart 1st. I too have loved this man's musical talent. Have been listening to him since I was 13yrs old and never heard this song before and I was doing a top 5 guitarist on my music therapy group through msgr and of course Eric was there and I searched for the song choice I wanted to use and I don't believe in accidents or coincidence's... I believe God led me straight to this song and at first the title of course wasn't right but I listened to the lyrics and knew God and Eric who wrote the song flipped the script and I cried with love and joy with the most precious words of understanding exactly what they meant... I had already forgiven my father a long time ago and God has blessed me with 4 son's and plus 1 1/2 brother I helped raise and they are grown now ... My oldest is 43yrs and Christopher is in the Ellis Unit serving a long sentence for drugs that I know he would otherwise be dead... My heart is broken but I'm so grateful for his life and God's mercy on him... He has a son who just graduated and we have not seen since he was a child.. Through the music and prayer warriors for our children all around the world I dedicated this song to them and played through out the day I tell you that again that prayers work by 9pm that night my grandson on msgr contacted me... I was overwhelmed with joy and love to hear from him and asking about his father, my son... I thank you Mr. Eric Clapton for your music that touches us in our hearts!!! We are all blessed by it through you and I say thank you for all you give of yourself with the precious talent through Our Father God in Jesus Christ name Amen... I apologize for the long reply as I have never done this before... I really enjoyed reading your words of his lifetime and would like to know more and read his autobiography too... Can you tell me the title please...
Eric has the ability to bring a tear to my eye by playing a guitar solo. This song and live performance is absolutely amazing, the whole band is just incredible. Be well Eric!
as beautiful as this music is, his lyrics kill me once again. The never ending impact of the absentee father and the lifelong effect it has on the child is gutwrenching. this should be studied in schools worldwide. Dads, you are needed!!
Amen!! My father passed this year 2021. I was with him when he passed. He was there when I was very young, but we had a troubled relationship. I miss the "other fathers" who helped me grow....big brothers, uncles, mentors. Those who guided me when my father was absent. Thank you all. Hard to talk about... Trying very hard to be a good father myself. This song brings tears to my eyes.
👍👍👍 Eric never had a father! BUT a granddad! 👍 And: THEY destroyed the family union. SO RETURN TO VIRTUES and do something about it! Get married, a nice woman and get at least 2 kids!!!
I so understand. My parents divorced when I was two then remarried when I was 10, divorced again when I was 12. He was murdered when I was 19 and he was 38. It has definitely affected my whole life and my relationships with men. I tended to gravitate to men just like him. Hence I have had a very stormy life.
G-wen sometimes a father is absentee by not beeing able to accept his son looking into his eyes so was my father and I understand, why he was not able to do .... I am 71 now and I am missing, that he did not allow me to embrace him but I love him !!!
God bless and Rest In Peace to your father. My wonderful and amazing father passed the other day and I miss him so very much. Looking forward to see into my fathers eyes in Heaven one day again. God bless you Dad, you were/ are the best father a son could ever have. Thank you for being you!!!
Lost my father today he was 93. It would take too long to tell you about him. He was steady as the rain, dependable. He had kind brown eyes but that wasn't his most obvious characteristic. I felt like I was closer to my Mom but my fathers eye's were always there. Not judging or panicking, rarely crying. They gave me strength.
I lost my Dad this February. He was 92. I thought because of the age it would help with his passing... No. How much wisdom our Dad's have given us? Let us pass this on to future generations the best we can! Loving thoughts Your way 🙏
Lost my father almost 2 months ago. Loved this song before he passed, but since his passing it's touched me in ways I can't put into words. Dad was my best friend. I'd sell my soul to be able to look into my father's eyes again.
Just one of the best songs ever written. So much respect for eric clapton. There is no day that goes by where I do not listen to this song. It speaks right out of my heart. Thank you Eric! Thank you so much!
Eric Clapton has been my idol since seeing him in concert when I was 16 years old. In Dec I will be 65. Read his bio 3 times and with the exception of playing the guitar as he does I was amazed how the both had so many things in common. My grandparents raised for much of my childhood. His music was what gave me the strength to make peace with the many trials and tribulations I had to endure through out my life. If there is one regret I will have when I come to the end my trail it will undoubtedly be that I was never fortunate enough to meet and shake this great man's hand and thank him for all wonderful music and his amazing guitar 🎸 work which kept me sane all these years. Mr.Clapton thank you sir and God bless you for all the good things you have done to help me and so many others I'm sure who grow up as we did. Hoping with all my heart to make it to one more of your shows and maybe have my lifelong dream come true. Thanks again and may you have happiness and beautiful days forever.
Thank you TH-cam. Thank you Warner Records. I live in a country where I'd never hope, in my wildest dreams, to ever attend a concert as epic as this. Thank you for the rare opportunity to view Eric Clapton as if I was there.
Over time, this song has become one of my favorite Clapton tunes. There is no question that on this night, this song was performed perfectly. A wonderful presentation and I am grateful to have lived long enough to see this. Thank you Eric Clapton!
Can't help but reflect on my late father listening to this. I have children of my own now and the feeling of staring into their eyes is something I wish I could freeze and keep with me forever.
Losing one's Father And realizing that What he taught you Is something which is needed to teach one's own Son or Daughter. That if you could see things the way your Father saw them You would be a Champion for him and for Yoursel. Very Beautiful Songwriting by Eric Clapton

He's just the best!

Clapton guitar playing here is masterful. Excellent band as well. Steve Gadd is second to none. Eric's vocal and the back up vocals are spot on. 👌
I lost my Dad today. He was 65. My heart is shattered. I don’t know how I will get through this pain. I am here because He loved Eric Clapton. ❤️
May his soul rest in peace..i wish u courage😪..i lost my dad too long time ago but i started lately to realize it and didn t cry until now....keep the faith❤

You can feel the passion in Mr. Clapton's work. Phenomenal man. If this piece of music doesn't touch your heart, something's missing.
Totally in agreement with you! He is very passionate when he sings and plays his guitar !!! He touches my heart and my soul every day I listen to him. I love Clapton too much!!!

I lost my father 43 years ago , not a day goes by I don't think of him and all my family who have passed before me such a hollow feeling . Your words brought comfort in the memories .

This mans ability to move past tragedy and personal challenges, is more so of a testimony as to who he is, than his music. I think this is eric claptons best performance , he has done it all and this piece of his work shows his faithfulness to his craft, absolutely amazing!
Agree
You nailed it!! I dunno how he was able to write and perform songs about such tragedies. To me that keeps opening up wounds.. but it's probably his coping mechanic though. And we love him for this .
Who can forget Tears in Heaven. Probably the greatest tragedy in his life. The way he takes the pain, all very personal pain, and creates such music is beyond comprehension.
This guy is such a talent.His depth is incredible, especially his songwriting imo.Id say his guitar playing is what most think of first, but its his songwriting that really puts the icing on the cake for me.What a phenomenon this guy is!!
Good music never dies.2024 and still going strong.this track bring me tears.good memory's
Eric Clapton is a man blessed of the Lord! He had a very rough life, been thru hell and here he is playing like never before, has a beautiful family! I admire him as a man and musician!
yeah .. and whoever dislikes it .. i cant bring myself to say it ...
Easily made my favorite live album she it came out. The best before that was the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East. Know that says a bunch!!
Erics my 2nd cousin and his fabulous xxx
totally agree
This is gliss ? hmmmmmm no chance ever for me.
It doesn't get any better than this, he is the king of the guitar.
Clapton>Hendrix For Me
yes! I agree with you!
Ever heard Tommy Emmanuel?
Not a bad voice either.
Totally in agreement. Always been a fan. Bless you Eric!!!
When you don’t have a big wedding you don’t think about those special moments that you get to enjoy. I lost my father nine years ago this week and I wish we had that father-daughter dance we deserved.
Today would be my father's 85th birthday and this song feels truly special. Music enables the most powerful connection to my deepest feelings and, at this very moment, Dad, I look into your soul and thank you for the wonderful memories. You will never be missed.
My father's birthday is 5/5 and when I saw what you wrote I thought that was exactly what I would have written if I wrote so well!
помаши в небо, я его вижу из россии.
держись брат, соболезную
We will remember our fathers eyes. And our Mom's as well. Wish I could see those eyes again. Maybe later.
As a new father who wasn't able to have much relationship with his father, this song hits deep. Every verse rings true. You are just always caught off guard at how unready to teach and help a child grow into a successful adult and be responsible for their life. It's also great to hear a song talking about the importance of a father in a child's life. I also see some spiritual connection to the lyrics if you think of it as our "father" in heaven who will guide and teach you and our need for Him in our lives.
My father passed when I was 10. This song means a lot to me.
So sorry that’s so young 😢
My mother didn't physically die, but something in her died when I was ten years old, and I had to grow up and become an adult. So, in a way, I understand your pain.
Still watching in 2024. I'll bawl in tears if my future child will discover this song and sing it to me.
I play guitar and my dad is very excited to hear me play his songs. I play on the same guitar he played when he was 16. Today he is 41
@@גיאבןיהודה-צ1י wow!! does he play guitar too? you should jam this song with him. i'm sure he'd be happy to spend time with you.
Still watching 2024 binging on Clampton’s music. Wondering if there’s a good bio of him.❤
My 90 year old father passed away last week. I was so blessed to bring home for his final days. I will never forget the last time I looked in my fathers eyes. There was joy. And then he slipped away. I’ll always have our memories, I dedicate this song to the best dad a girl could ever have had.
Beautiful words dear heart. I totally feel you.

Eric Clapton is one of the nicest people that I have ever worked with. He’s a fine and true gentleman and very generous with his time. His talent is unmatched on this planet. A very cool dude!

You got to be one of the luckiest guys on the planet to have worked with him.
@Slow Cheetah
And what sins have you committed that you regret?
Everyone's done something they are not proud of and wish they could take back...
@Slow Cheetah Yeah, he has said he used to be an asshole messed up on alcohol and drugs, but he cleaned up and is a great dude now and has been for quite a long time. Met him in a pub in Asheville NC around 12 years ago. He spent around 1.5 hours with me and some friends. Was hanging with us for like 30 min. before I asked him name, since I had not recognized him. He was having a good time being just another bloke. Nice guy with no head up his ass.
Yes he's a cool man legend
I have to look my son's eyes to see my father's eyes. Miss u dad ❤
May your father be glorified in Heaven by TheHolyFather
@@NicolettaTrumpyBear thanx my friend. I really appreciate it
I wanted to look into my father's eyes
but he refused (even in hospital when he was going to die 1992)
he had a war trauma
so, I hate the war
so, I love my father
❤
I think this is one of the most wonderful songs ever. Thanks Eric and company!
That intro gives me goosebumps every time... Clapton is a god. I've been raised listening Eric Clapton, and I'm so thankful to my father for this.
Gai Charles same.
Listening to this man takes you to another place ! wherever you want to be and for as long as you please. LEGEND !!
He never met his Father....Eric was the illegitimate son of a Canadian flyer who was in GB during the War...knocked-up his Mom, then returned to Canada. His young Mom then lived with her Mother and gave birth to Eric. As a cover story, Eric was raised to believe his Mom was his SISTER and that his Grandmother was his Mother !! So I believe his search for his Father will never be over...perhaps he wrote this song to "air" his pain relating to this life issue just as his "Tears in Heaven" was written to help him deal with the loss of his child Connor who died tragically. Our love of his great music is rooted in his life tragedies without which they would never have been written. He always has been a "Blues-Rocker" and a great song writer who has had MULTIPLE successful careers spanning literally more than 1/2 Century. Thanks man....you have made your mark with millions of loyal fans and WILL do it again with generations yet unborn.
Beautifully written and thank you so much for sharing your heartwarming story... My father was an alcoholic and abused my mother and us 4 kids... I have been using my music therapy group on my msgr now and with that said I've been listening to rock and roll since I was 13yrs old it's my 1st love as is This Man...
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts on Eric he is a great gift from Our Father God I was abused by my alcoholic father until I was 13yrs old and never wanted to look into his eyes... Music is my therapy and rock is my heart 1st.
I too have loved this man's musical talent.
Have been listening to him since I was 13yrs old and never heard this song before and I was doing a top 5 guitarist on my music therapy group through msgr and of course Eric was there and I searched for the song choice I wanted to use and I don't believe in accidents or coincidence's...
I believe God led me straight to this song and at first the title of course wasn't right but I listened to the lyrics and knew God and Eric who wrote the song flipped the script and I cried with love and joy with the most precious words of understanding exactly what they meant... I had already forgiven my father a long time ago and God has blessed me with 4 son's and plus 1 1/2 brother I helped raise and they are grown now ... My oldest is 43yrs and Christopher is in the Ellis Unit serving a long sentence for drugs that I know he would otherwise be dead... My heart is broken but I'm so grateful for his life and God's mercy on him... He has a son who just graduated and we have not seen since he was a child..
Through the music and prayer warriors for our children all around the world I dedicated this song to them and played through out the day I tell you that again that prayers work by 9pm that night my grandson on msgr contacted me... I was overwhelmed with joy and love to hear from him and asking about his father, my son...
I thank you Mr. Eric Clapton for your music that touches us in our hearts!!! We are all blessed by it through you and I say thank you for all you give of yourself with the precious talent through Our Father God in Jesus Christ name Amen... I apologize for the long reply as I have never done this before... I really enjoyed reading your words of his lifetime and would like to know more and read his autobiography too... Can you tell me the title please...
str8 from wiki lol
😉😅🙏🤙🤙🍎
😡👊👊👊👊👊🍎🤨😠😡🤬🤝👊👊👊👊
It’s deep, because he’s talking about his Heavenly Father, earthly father, and his son…his best song ever!!
Eric has the ability to bring a tear to my eye by playing a guitar solo. This song and live performance is absolutely amazing, the whole band is just incredible. Be well Eric!
I miss you Daddy
This is not a song; it is a prayer 🙏 ❤️🩹🪶
Just 🙏😘
It isn't. It's specifically about his actual Father who he never knew, and the perspective of his Son who died in a tragic accident.
😢
Bro that’s what OP meant by saying it was like a prayer. To God. About connects death
Well said. Very
You cant beat a song with meaning, this man does it to perfection
Hello @cynthiarichardson4633, I'm glad you're a fan. How are you doing today? It's my pleasure meeting you here. Is this one of your favorite songs?
Love this. I miss my Dad
As someone that lost my Father at a young age and am now a Father of 2 myself, this song pulls on the heart strings so damn hard ❤
as beautiful as this music is, his lyrics kill me once again. The never ending impact of the absentee father and the lifelong effect it has on the child is gutwrenching. this should be studied in schools worldwide. Dads, you are needed!!
Amen!! My father passed this year 2021. I was with him when he passed. He was there when I was very young, but we had a troubled relationship. I miss the "other fathers" who helped me grow....big brothers, uncles, mentors. Those who guided me when my father was absent. Thank you all. Hard to talk about... Trying very hard to be a good father myself.
This song brings tears to my eyes.
👍👍👍
Eric never had a father! BUT a granddad! 👍
And: THEY destroyed the family union.
SO RETURN TO VIRTUES and do something about it!
Get married, a nice woman and get at least 2 kids!!!
I so understand. My parents divorced when I was two then remarried when I was 10, divorced again when I was 12. He was murdered when I was 19 and he was 38. It has definitely affected my whole life and my relationships with men. I tended to gravitate to men just like him. Hence I have had a very stormy life.
Yours is a wonderfully worded message.
G-wen
sometimes a father is absentee by not beeing able to accept his son looking into his eyes
so was my father and I understand, why he was not able to do ....
I am 71 now and I am missing, that he did not allow me to embrace him
but I love him !!!
There will never be another EC in the world of guitar music and song like him.
Top guy !.
I was raised by an adoring step-dad. This song made me appreciate him more than ever ❣❣❣
5:33 I lost my father on Christmas Eve 1979 this song makes me think of him and gives my heart a boost brilliant 👍😀
One of the greatest performances of his career..epic!
Completely agree. The words and music, the playing, that intro and outro. Commanding. The expression is palpable.
my father just passed away. his funeral is tomorrow
how glad am i that this music exists. thank you eric
you make the pain a little more bearable
God bless
I pray that your father is in a far, far better place.
SO sorry for the loss of your Father 🙏🙏😭
@@jimmycameron6568 o
God bless and Rest In Peace to your father. My wonderful and amazing father passed the other day and I miss him so very much. Looking forward to see into my fathers eyes in Heaven one day again. God bless you Dad, you were/ are the best father a son could ever have. Thank you for being you!!!
The Man who experienced Searching the loss of his child and put it to a Song we all know and love
Always shed a tear when I hear this song. I loved my father more than anything and miss him every day of my life. My hero now and always .
Hello Eimear where are you from?
Bless you . . . . . you’ll get through this
with music😮
I’m sorry for your loss . . . . .
There's nobody like Eric Clapton! What a great song and a wonderful performance.
Hello❤
Lost my father today he was 93. It would take too long to tell you about him. He was steady as the rain, dependable. He had kind brown eyes but that wasn't his most obvious characteristic. I felt like I was closer to my Mom but my fathers eye's were always there. Not judging or panicking, rarely crying. They gave me strength.
I lost my Dad this February. He was 92. I thought because of the age it would help with his passing... No. How much wisdom our Dad's have given us? Let us pass this on to future generations the best we can! Loving thoughts Your way 🙏
@@lindascarborough5551 hi
2024, and I love it! Eric is awesome
Simply the best (Tina Turner, thanks 🙏🏻) Spring 2023 🍀👒
The intro to this song is amazing & the Reggae flavor a great touch...his solo is incredible...
Lost my father almost 2 months ago. Loved this song before he passed, but since his passing it's touched me in ways I can't put into words. Dad was my best friend. I'd sell my soul to be able to look into my father's eyes again.
I know ....
Lost my Dad 21 years ago.. Never gets easier...Wish I could look into my Fathers eyes one more time....
Just one of the best songs ever written. So much respect for eric clapton. There is no day that goes by where I do not listen to this song. It speaks right out of my heart. Thank you Eric! Thank you so much!
Eric Clapton has been my idol since seeing him in concert when I was 16 years old. In Dec I will be 65. Read his bio 3 times and with the exception of playing the guitar as he does I was amazed how the both had so many things in common. My grandparents raised for much of my childhood. His music was what gave me the strength to make peace with the many trials and tribulations I had to endure through out my life. If there is one regret I will have when I come to the end my trail it will undoubtedly be that I was never fortunate enough to meet and shake this great man's hand and thank him for all wonderful music and his amazing guitar 🎸 work which kept me sane all these years. Mr.Clapton thank you sir and God bless you for all the good things you have done to help me and so many others I'm sure who grow up as we did. Hoping with all my heart to make it to one more of your shows and maybe have my lifelong dream come true. Thanks again and may you have happiness and beautiful days forever.
My dad also is gone. Such an awesome tribute to any father...
Thank you TH-cam. Thank you Warner Records. I live in a country where I'd never hope, in my wildest dreams, to ever attend a concert as epic as this. Thank you for the rare opportunity to view Eric Clapton as if I was there.
August 2024❤❤❤ Slowhand forever!!!
Me - while the weather changes in my life, I know I can find temporary refuge and shelter in the words and melody of Eric Clapton, before I pass.
Dedicate this song to my daughter TORI Washburn , no matter what happens in life your dad will always be there for you. Love you kid.
Over time, this song has become one of my favorite Clapton tunes. There is no question that on this night, this song was performed perfectly. A wonderful presentation and I am grateful to have lived long enough to see this. Thank you Eric Clapton!
Leslie Castle nice
The background vocals are brilliant, giving me goosebumps. There is only one Eric Clapton, Love it!!!!
Can't help but reflect on my late father listening to this. I have children of my own now and the feeling of staring into their eyes is something I wish I could freeze and keep with me forever.
Losing one's Father
And realizing that
What he taught you
Is something which is needed to teach one's own Son or
Daughter. That if you could see things the way your
Father saw them
You would be a
Champion for him and for
Yoursel.
Very Beautiful
