    I saw Eric in MSG in NYC in 2017. When he started this song there was an audible "aww..".in the crowd. I thought it was an odd choice because it's such a sad reminder. Then I was curious how long it had been since Connor passed, well it turned out the concert was on the anniversary of his passing (March 20). Eric didn't say that, he doesn't talk to the crowd at all, he just plays. Makes me wonder if it's not usually in his playlist, he just did on that special day.

    The song as everyone has said was a tribute to his son that died at age 4. The video playing while he was singing was a movie called Rush. It was about 2 cops that went undercover and got hooked on heroin. They lost their jobs but at some point she decides to get clean but she still loved him. And she found him overdosed and managed to revive him till she finds him dead in the park. The movie was sad but knowing the meaning of the song was even stronger.

When I got back, they were talking about taking him off life support, which happened that day...I can still feel exactly the same as I did that horrible day, every time I hear this song...my heart aches, and I cry so hard. It grabs at your soul...💔🌹
    Great Reaction.... btw his son died at 4 1/2 years old, by falling out of a window, from a 53rd floor apartment, onto a roof of a 4 story building. It's a very tragic story. You can feel the real heartfelt pain in his song, that everyone who has lost a loved one feels when hearing it.💝✌

    Written after the death of his son, Connor, it is one of the most beautiful and emotive songs I have ever heard. Burying a child is something no parent should ever have to do. My wife and I have been traveling that "healing road" since 1996. We played this song at our own son's funeral. "Beyond the door, there's peace I'm sure"

    Aww, someone should have warned you. ❤️
    This song always makes me cry for my father - can’t wait to see him again. 🙏🏻
    Eric is a classic rock/blues player & considered one of the best guitarists of our time.
    I was lucky enough to see him live about 24 years ago 🔥🎶🔥

    This song came out when I was young, always found it to be absolutely beautiful, an incredible song. Always brought me to tears.
    Now that I have a son myself, it hits my heart on such a deeper level. I can't imagine how he felt, still feels to this day.

    He’s known for his guitar work, and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times(two groups, one solo). As he’s gotten older, he’s gravitated away from the driving rock of his youth to more blues-based music.
    It’s a good rabbit hole choice, if for nothing else to see the evolution of an artist over the decades he’s been performing.
    Not as necessarily something to react to, but after you’ve listened to some of his earlier music, I suggest setting aside a block of time for ‘Eric immersion’ and listening to the 24 Nights album(I prefer the audio-only version. Yes, the same album has two versions), which is a good mix of rock and blues. He does Old Love and Wonderful Tonight back-to-back... 20 minutes of mmm mmm musical goodness. If you continue with Eric, I’m sure you will get plenty of suggestions for those songs. I usually suggest live versions after hearing the studio. Then listen to the Unplugged album.
    Come join us in Clapton-land. We think you’ll like it.😁

      Both written about the same woman, Patti Boyd. Layla was written while she was still married to George Harrison. Wonderful Tonight was written while Eric was married to her.

    He was in pure agony but thank God didn’t go back to drugs. Instead he wrote this song for his 4 yr old son Connor who fell about 50 floors in NYC. It was horrific in the news and I prayed for him and the mother who was a wreck. What an artist. 💔💔

    I really can't get through this song.....I lost my only sibling in July 2020, my younger brother. and I am the only one left of our immediately original family. I was not prepared for this alternate universe where half of my soul memory check system is gone. this song means so much to people who have lost someone close to them like this. I am a full orphan. in our society, a sibling death is the most ignored form of grief...until it happens to you. You sister or brother is your soul keeper, and when one dies they take their share of your soul with him. They don't mean to, but they just do.

    This is what music is supposed to do, make you feel.
    Music has power and emotions and feelings. It makes you feel funky, happy, sad, laugh, cry.
    But it will always make you feel.
    Connors passing from Eric was nothing short of horrific. It showed us that, no matter how wealthy or in positions of power people are, they are not free to live a life from sadness and sorrow either.
    Rest In Peace Connor Clapton.

    Don't care if this was posted a year ago, but I just have to say, this song is the only song I have ever listened to that has made me cry every time I've listened to it. It has a power to it, an aura, as if the tragedy this song was made about is imbued within it and you can feel the pain Eric felt. It's a masterpiece in the saddest possible way, rest in peace, Conor Clapton, it wasn't your time.
