    The best version of My Father‘s Eyes in my opinion.

  • @bonnier.7063
    @bonnier.7063 4 года назад +107

    Eric Clapton was my dad's favorite artists, his favorite that he often sang was tears in heaven.
    My father's eyes was my favorite when my father pass away. I had a hard time looking at his eyes as I was losing my best friend when he was suffering with cancer. I was pretty young and felt lonely and scared but I looked into dad's eyes and helped him cross over . Dad I love you and God Thank You for bringing me closer to you. Thank you Eric

      Yes...my dear father too...he had the most gorgeous eyes...I had to watch him die from cancer too. At least we were there and loved our precious daddy's to the end. Its the best we could do. All we could give. Love.

    There will never be another musician who can gather a group like Eric Clapton can!! He takes the time to appreciate the musicians he loves as well as those who love him, and for this I am thankful!!

    eric never knew his father.
    he was abandoned by both his parents.
    this is a very personal and childishly hopeful song.
    conor, his son, died and he wasn't there to stop it.
    eric's story is universal and so is this song of searching.
    eric became a man the day his son fell 53 stories.
    a working man and a working artist.
    long road down to up.
    a bluesman, not someone imitating the blues.

    No one who believes in God can ever be fatherless. He is the ultimate father to the fatherless, or even if you need a different kind of father than the one you have. God controls it all. No matter what you have, it's what God planned for you, and that is never wrong ❣❣❣

    Fifteen years that 've been listening to this version of "My father's eyes" and it's still simply wonderful! All the solos in this song are IMHO really inspired, but the longer final solo is one of the best ever played by Eric Clapton: I'll never be tired of playing it on my guitar. Thank You Mr. "Slowhand" for your music!

That's what being a great musician is all about, being one myself, being able to tap into the great unknown, affect people in such a beautiful way. Eric, still wonderful. And he has grown as an artist. I've seen that just in my lifetime, and I'm only 31. It's an amazing process to watch.

    you could make the argument that he is the greatest ever. He has never done anything that has made me think, " I don't really like that." I can't think of any other artist, group, performer, or whatever that I can say that about. usually I'm thinking, " Man, I really, really like that."

    I adore this song. My personal favorite is the unplugged versions that weren't originally released.

    Just put this mother on autoplay, crank it to "10", and leave it on all day. Doesn't get any better than this.

    My soul mate for sure. My brother Jim is a beautiful replica of this man in talent and motion. If you ever get to see .357 in Cincinnati, you will be a believer. I feel every note and word Mr.Clapton plays & sings. In a previous life????

    I knew my father. And wrote a song partly about him and I won a BMI award for it. I got a chance to play it for him in front of a large crowd . Tears all around.
