Tears In Heaven :

https://youtu.be/JxPj3GAYYZ0

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on
‘Cause I know, I don’t belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I’ll find my way
Through night and day
‘Cause I know, I just can’t stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There’s peace, I’m sure
And I know there’ll be no more
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on
‘Cause I know, I don’t belong
Here in heaven
‘Cause I know, I don’t belong
Here in heaven
Thank you : : : :

He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – once as a solo artist and twice while being a member of the bands “the Yardbirds” and “cream”. Clapton has also been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time, ranking second in the “Rolling Stone” magazine’s most important and influential guitarists of all time. He has also sold over 130 million records worldwide, and won 18 Grammy awards throughout his musical career.

“Tears in Heaven” is one of the Clapton’s most heartbreaking songs, based on the tragic death of his Conor, who was only four when he died after accidentally falling from a 54 story apartment. The track was written during Clapton’s 6-month hiatus from music after this devastating event and has three verses and a bridge. The first verse is Clapton singing to his son about whether if he would recognise or know him if he saw him in heaven, and whether it would be the same if he was in heaven too – but he knows that he has to “be strong and carry on”, because he can’t “stay here in heaven”, meaning he can’t spend his whole life mourning over the loss of his son or just focusing on that, he has to move on. The second verse is Clapton asking his son if he would still “hold his hand” and “help him stand” if he saw him heaven, maybe alluding to Clapton seeking forgiveness from his son. Again, Clapton reiterates that he’ll get through night and day as he cannot “stay here in heaven”. The bridge focuses on the concept of time, and how it can break your heart and have you begging for time to progress quicker for you to heal through the pain. He knows that “beyond the door there’s peace I’m sure”, meaning he is aware that after this painful time (“the door”) he’ll be fine. The song ends with Clapton repeating the first verse.

There is no official music video for the song, but there is a video of Clapton performing it live on a TV show for the first time in 1992. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 CLICK HERE to view the Rehearsal : : https://youtu.be/N2CdeOOF3jk 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Chart Rankings : : : : : :
3 Weeks in the UK Official Charts in the Top 10, 5 in the Top 20, 8 in the Top 40, 13 in the Top 75 and 14 in the Top 100. *All chart ranking accurate at the time of publishing. It appeared on the 1991 Rush film soundtrack. In January 1992, Clapton performed the song in front of an audience at Bray Studios, Berkshire, England for MTV Unplugged, with the recording appearing on his Unplugged album. The song was Clapton’s best-selling single in the United States and reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. In the United Kingdom, where Clapton is from, it reached number five on the UK Singles Chart, and also charted in the top 10 in more than twenty nations around the world. It won three Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked “Tears in Heaven” 362nd on its list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. In an interview in 1992, Clapton said of the song, “It was in the back of my head but it didn’t really have a reason for being until I was scoring this movie … then it sort of had a reason to be. And it is a little ambiguous because it could be taken to be about Conor but it also is meant to be part of the film.”

In an interview with Daphne Barak, Clapton said: “I almost subconsciously used music for myself as a healing agent, and lo and behold, it worked… I have got a great deal of happiness and a great deal of healing from music.”Jennings said:

[Clapton] said to me, “I want to write a song about my boy.” Eric had the first verse of the song written, which, to me, is all the song, but he wanted me to write the rest of the verse lines and the release (“Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees…”), even though I told him that it was so personal he should write everything himself. He told me that he had admired the work I did with Steve Winwood and finally there was nothing else but to do as he requested, despite the sensitivity of the subject. This is a song so personal and so sad that it is unique in my experience of writing songs. “Unplugged” : : : : The album topped numerous charts, including the US, Japan and Australia, reached number two in the UK, and was nominated for nine Grammy Awards the year it was released. Legacy : : : :
Clapton made numerous public service announcements to raise awareness for childproofing windows and staircases. Clapton stopped performing “Tears in Heaven” in 2004, as well as the song “My Father’s Eyes”, stating: “I didn’t feel the loss anymore, which is so much a part of performing those songs. I really have to connect with the feelings that were there when I wrote them. They’re kind of gone and I really don’t want them to come back, particularly. My life is different now. They probably just need a rest and maybe I’ll introduce them for a much more detached point of view.” 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 The Song information study thoughts etc Compiled by V Jayaraj January 12 , 2022 : : Pune India : : : : : : :
