I am sorry for your loss. I played and sang this song in my best friends / cousins funeral who died in a housefire. His mom is still grieving from that after 5 years and hasn't managed to continue her life..
Nobody, except those of us who have had a child die can understand the lifetime of pain we suffer. Living through judgements of people who have the luxury of moving on, while we get constant reminders of what we lost. RIP Elizabeth. Mom & Dad
"As much as I'm proud of what I've achieved musically... It's all dust, really. At some point there will be people who have no idea what I did, or who I am ..and I'm quite comfortable about that." Such wise words from a great musician.
May god bless you, I was just saying this to my gf, I'd cry like a baby once the the song started, we have a 2 year old almost 3 in couple months and I wouldn't wanna live anymore if something ever happened to him
Listen to how he speaks “I went with the body” He doesn’t care about his son the same way normal people care about their children. A part time dad whose kid was brought up by mother and maids. He doesn’t break down because he hardly knew the kid. People in the comments have a more emotional reaction to this story than Clapton ever has.
I loss my son at the same age 4 🙏 as a parent there is no pain in the world like this I've always been simply amazed with Eric Clapton in the song amazes me. And when it's my time to go I pray that Steven is right there to greet me in heaven!! 💕 Love and miss you Steven Lee mommy!! 🙏💔💕💖
I wonder what Conor would have looked like when he grew up if he were allowed to live. He probably would have been a musician like his daddy. What an awful experience that must have been, I cannot imagine...
❤my heart breaks for you and your devastating loss. Keep in mind that you WILL see him again. Hes an angel in Heaven ,dancing with little Conner. They will never know pain or suffering of any kind. I pray you find peace and comfort over time. The grieving process is different for everyone. Sometimes it feels as tho it will never end ,then one day you will wake up and the thought and pain of your loss doesnt hit like it did the day before. ❤
I'm glad it helps, I hope this does too you are still his mother, every moment of your life you will be his mother. You hold every precious memory of Olivers life. Don't be afraid to share the beauty of those moments, screw what people think. say his name let the world know you were graced with a precious gift that he was here and that he's waiting for you.
Nobody in this comment section can give you peace nobody in your life can give you peace But only Jesus Christ Come to Jesus in he'll give you endless peace and love God bless you.
For anyone wondering: unfortunately Lory Del Santo (Conor’s mother) suffered another tragedy in 2018. Her 20yo son committed suicide due to a neurological condition which probably led to depression. Poor woman, i feel so bad for anything she’s been through.
That man and his son and the terrible tragedy is something I’ll never forget because of this song. I was a child when this happened, and a father now. It hurt then, it hurts now... but I am a better man and father because of Eric Clapton
That was really hard to watch. I have known about this ever since it first happened but for some reason, not until now, I looked it up on RUclips. I cannot imagine getting a call from my spouse saying that our child is dead. As I hang my head and cry right now, he had a lot of strength to get back up and keep going. I don’t think I could have done that. I can’t even imagine the toll that took on him and his wife emotionally. That is something that I cannot even wrap my mind around.
This still hits me hard, being a parent myself. Even though I've heard the story multiple times, it still gets me. The nature of the accident is also one of my smaller fears. Heights and falling. So it hits me on so many levels, it's agonizing.
People take for granted things as basic as being alive and intact. I will never take that for granted EVER. I shower my family with love and affection constantly.
There will be no point in which people don’t know who you are, or what you’ve done. I remember hearing this song as a girl and not being able to hold the tears back, not even understanding the meaning. There are now points in my 40 year old life where visiting this song is the only thing that brings me peace. ❤✌🏽
I can't even imagine what that was like. I mean I lost my mom suddenly and tragically and I know I thought I would never be able to move on in life. But, you're own kid. Man. My heart hurts. How sad.
@@curragh4635 That kid was thrown or pushed out of that window on purpose!! Eric was in town to show "them" which apartment his son and mistress was in so "they" wouldn't kill the wrong child !! It's called a sacrifice for fame and fortune, every top "star" has a dead child, who died from overdose, suicide, or carwrecks.....look it up!! I stopped supporting anything coming from the satanic music industry 40 years ago, because they are all sacrificing to satan.
Just became a first time parent to the absolute love of my life 5 weeks ago today. I never knew what living a full life was until I met my son. I crumble at the thought of loosing him. Eric's song tears in heaven always touched my soul but now.. it leaves me breathless
My heart is broken 💔😢 for what they had to go through. The one thing that stays with me is that Eric realized what it really meant to be a father the night before Conor's death. He actually wanted Conor to be with him.
That's the price he had to pay for selling his soul. Poor little kid lost his life and i'm not even convinced that the falling out of the window story is true...? It could be a lot more horrific than that.
@Robin ??? You forgot that reading 1 word doesn't tell me if you're agreeing with me or you are sarcastic? I hope you'll watch the video link i've gave you.
@Robin I just found out that the link i provided doesn't show up to others 😒 So if you are interested in the shocking truth then you'll need to deep search for this title : "Hollywood Blood Sacrifices and Satanic Worship: They TELL us Exactly! Sell their souls" Where are you located? Please reply... thanks!😃
I have only one child and now two grandsons. I couldn’t imagine losing any of them. I was in high school when this tragedy happened and it has never left me. I had my daughter about a year later and the things a new mother should think about and hope for their new child, for some reason I could only think of Eric Clapton and Lori’s loss.
Conor’s tragic story just came to me on Monday, July 5, 2021, as my husband and I were spending the July fourth weekend with our little granddaughter, Salem, age 23 months, soon to be two on August 3, Conor’s birth month. This video is Such An incredible, beautiful, real, heartfelt, yet heart-wrenching tribute of a parents’ journey through their child’s death. I am so very sorry for this tremendous loss... my heart genuinely breaks for you both. I pray that God remains with you both as you continue on, for little Conor... He will never ever be forgotten... his shining spirit is just still too strong and bright... it’s just in a different light... Rest, sweet Conor, in God’s ultimate peace... and you will see your Mommie and Daddy again...
I vaguely remember the news about this terrible tragedy but I never saw Conor's picture until now that they showed me a photo of Eric Clapton. So i just wanted to find out who Conor look like. He was an adorable little boy. Precious! OMG have mercy! That's the saddest thing ever!
My dear friend lost his son the other week in a horrific motorcycle crash. I hope when he is strong enough, the words and sharing and song from Mr Clapton can give support and grace from such intense loss that my friend suffers, like so many others that have to live with such a broken heart 💔❤
I always knew this story and it always felt awful to hear. Beyond tragic. But now I’m a first time Mom with a 5 month old son. After watching this I want to get him from his crib and just hold him. I cannot imagine the pain.
Has to be one of the strongest people I've heard off.. I've got a daughter and I just don't think I could go about life if anything ever happened to her when I was watching this I could picture her face and it just made me cry..
I have adored this song and learned to play it on guitar when it came out when I was 12 on MTV unplugged . One of my dads all time favs, who is also no longer with us. Eric, glad you made it through and were able to give a piece of your broken heart in song instead - it has helped many of us realise we have to stay for the rest of our loved ones. Thank you.
Oh god this is so hard to listen to i break down & cry 😢 😢💔 I understand i to lost my son at the age of 2 yrs old no one needs to ever experince this ever *!* god bless you Eric 🙏 ❤️ 💙 Love you from a fan 💓 Debbie 🌹
I just recently know the story behind this song. I lost my 2 year old son almost one year now. The same fate of Eric Clapton's son.. I was shock. when I know the story. I feel like my son is talking me and.saying that I have to keep my faith in God and God has a beautiful plan for me. As what like Eric Clapton happened to his life after his son's death.
It breaks my heart that whilst this little boy is being taken away by medics, there are cameras pointing towards him as he is laying there deceased. The media in this world have no respect. This is such a heartbreaking story 💔
Imagine being one of the paramedics who had to see such a sight and then deal with it (like taking his body off the ground.) I forcefully subject myself to videos and pictures like that to condition myself to the reality of things. I live in a first world nation so it's easy to get soft. But you never know when you or a loved one will die at any second.
This man has more courage and strength than he gives himself credit for... OMG.... I would die..... He sings 💔🎵Cos I Know I Don't Belong There In Heaven.....💔🎵
I wasn't born when this happened, though I have watched this particular part of the film many times. It's done with such delicacy and respect. I'm currently reading Mr. Clapton's memoir and actually reading in print what happened to his beautiful boy is utterly heart-breaking. Reading about the aftermath, his experience, and how "Tears In Heaven came to be is one of the most moving and beautiful things I've ever read.
The beauty of this song brings tears to the eyes of anyone who's experienced a tragic loss and questioned wether they were worthy of joining the person they lost and how empty the world is without them. There maybe no tears in heaven but there are ever time i hear it not just for how it touches your own pain but for the pain it took to write it.
When I was 55 years old using all most of my life my love of my MOM died.I got a hospital bed & after 2 months I went on a binge.Now I know (what hospice says in their little blue book) Gone with the Wind)R.I.P. MOM.I shall you again.Your son, Babe.🙏👼❤️❤️😭
To bury a child instead of them doing thay, it's unthinkable soul tearing....I cry every time I listen to this song....see his pain in the song and when he plays it....I just hope I'm thay strong to keep living
Every time I think of this situation I think of the shock and fear the little boy must have felt when he was falling for several seconds. I wonder if he screamed, and I wonder how much it hurt when he hit the building below as his body was broken. The last thing he ever felt. A really sad situation that was 100% preventable. I think all the adults that were in that apartment that morning should have gone to prison.
I totally agree with you. What were they doing at that time before it happened. I got a lot of questions in my head that i cant even fathom. Why did nobody notice or watch him? I have a 4 year old son as well and this hurts a lot. 😢
When someone falls from a high altitude they usually pass out. When they hit the ground they die instantly so it’s not like they suffer much. But still, it’s a horrible death.
they say that every song has it's story but this one is rare and so tragic ,his son never get the chance to get old,I just love this song but the story behind it makes me wonder why?
No parent should ever bury a child at any age under any circumstances. Lory who is Conor’s mom, later wrote that the maintainence guy who left the window open never apologized or expressed any sense of remorse!!
The peculiar thing about this song is,I was watching a comedy show and this song came up. I had forgot this song,from so long ago. But I was horribly saddened to learn it’s back ground. This is such a tumultuous song,let alone the story it goes with. I’ll never here it and feel the same about it. Thomas Dorsey,wrote Precious lord take my hand after a dreadful accident involving his wife and child. Music is so incredible the power that it holds. May god bless that little boy.
Have anyone ever heard an explanation of how the nanny was right behind him according to mother, the janitor was able to stop her and warn her about the window but didn't see or stop the son⁉️🤔
Eric clapton story is so emotional when her son died in accident he create the great song tear in heaven for her son he said music save him and he became a singer more achievement in her life ,he did not achieve that award if her son did not leave him ,he became a better man
My son was 6 when I read about this , getting the love note from his son , just wow , heartbreaking .. Leaving a window open, just stupid , how on earth do these window not have locks , restrictors , poor design.
Grieving dad over here. Lost my one year old son 💔 😪 we played this song at his funeral.
Words cant describe how much sorry I feel for you.
How did your son die?
I am so sorry about your loss 😞♥️
I am sorry for your loss. I played and sang this song in my best friends / cousins funeral who died in a housefire. His mom is still grieving from that after 5 years and hasn't managed to continue her life..
I'm am so terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your son. No parent should have to bury their child. My heart goes out to you and your family. 💞💞
The letter his son wrote him I love you I want to see you again omg man
@@danzed8478 Its people like you that belong in hell.
Absolutely heartbreaking
I can’t cope with that. So upsetting.
Nobody, except those of us who have had a child die can understand the lifetime of pain we suffer. Living through judgements of people who have the luxury of moving on, while we get constant reminders of what we lost.
RIP Elizabeth. Mom & Dad
How did conner write that???
"As much as I'm proud of what I've achieved musically...
It's all dust, really.
At some point
there will be people who have no idea what I did, or who I am
..and I'm quite comfortable about that."
Such wise words from a great musician.
Amen. That is true. Just a worldly moment
He has a really strong outlook that I admire
How Mr Clapton sings that song without crying I will never know, I know the pain of losing a child and cry every time I hear this song xx
@@jetjaguar5200 Troll!
My deepest condolences
He says the song doesn't mean anything to him anymore.
May god bless you, I was just saying this to my gf, I'd cry like a baby once the the song started, we have a 2 year old almost 3 in couple months and I wouldn't wanna live anymore if something ever happened to him

Many years past but the pain still there Erick Clapton you are a strong man!! Your son Conor watching you he loves you so much
Forgive yourself .
There's no greater tragedy than to loose one's child...
...there isn't even a word in our language to explain such a thing, such as orphan or widow does.
@@georgecresdee6701 yes
Nope
Worst thing in the world
*lose
I wonder what Conor would have looked like when he grew up if he were allowed to live. He probably would have been a musician like his daddy. What an awful experience that must have been, I cannot imagine...
Imagine... Wrong singer but with a similar horrible tragedy.
He would look like dave grohl with a mix of eric
I was born 1983 and I'm 38 so he would've been 35?
I lost my 10 month old son Oliver 12 weeks ago😢 am not even sure how to move on with life. Videos like this help a little
No word can express my deepest sympathy for you and your family.

I've lost BOTH my sons in the last
2 1/2 years. I sit on the floor edge of the couch pleading them to talk to me.😢
He had his daddys eyes , what a beautiful boy he was . This is extremely hard to watch . God bless his little soul .
I know how you've felt because I've lost my son also!! And hes all I had!!! And now I'm left with nothing, but memories!!!
Tane Clark I’m so sorry how old was your son when he passed nothing is as devastating as losing a child
So very sorry
Consciousness continues after death. Are you interested in NDE stories?
Nobody in this comment section can give you peace nobody in your life can give you peace
But only Jesus Christ
Come to Jesus in he'll give you endless peace and love
God bless you.

That is devastating.. can't imagine
Maybe she shouldn't get pregnant by married men when their wives are going through IVF.
@@SuzLa1 True or not, how is this relevant?
@@SuzLa1 certainly doesn’t mean that children, a 4 year old and 20 year old, should die.
@@SuzLa1 that’s irrelevant. Still her children. Losing one child is bad enough. Losing TWO no matter the age would be a nightmare I assume.
That man and his son and the terrible tragedy is something I’ll never forget because of this song. I was a child when this happened, and a father now. It hurt then, it hurts now... but I am a better man and father because of Eric Clapton
This is the saddest thing ever. It hurts to watch. I'm a new dad and hope to never endure such a thing.
Not only was he strong enough to continue going forward (fuck knows how) but also strong enough to steer clear of the bottle too, that’s strength.
That was really hard to watch.
I have known about this ever since it first happened but for some reason, not until now, I looked it up on RUclips.
I cannot imagine getting a call from my spouse saying that our child is dead.
As I hang my head and cry right now, he had a lot of strength to get back up and keep going. I don’t think I could have done that.
I can’t even imagine the toll that took on him and his wife emotionally. That is something that I cannot even wrap my mind around.
This really shows the power of music. I truly believe there is nothing like music when you need something to turn to for healing in tragedy.
Tears run down my face every time I hear this song, I remember the beautiful face of his son and I can’t stop crying!! 💔💔
This still hits me hard, being a parent myself. Even though I've heard the story multiple times, it still gets me. The nature of the accident is also one of my smaller fears. Heights and falling. So it hits me on so many levels, it's agonizing.

What a beautiful little boy he was. So sad . Hope your flying high little angel 👼
This is even very hard to watch, but to go through this... God bless this little angel.
god did the opposite of blessing him
I was a six when this happened. I was a kid myself. It upset me them. Now I am bawling. Poor boy :(
whoever left the window open must have a tremendous amount of guilt. I can't imagine

Well not a single photo would have been taken if there were no appetite for it. They'd be off snapping photos of whatever else they could sell.
This man has more courage and strength than he gives himself credit for... OMG.... I would die.....
He sings 💔🎵Cos I Know I Don't Belong There In Heaven.....💔🎵
How could Eric claptons son fall out a window weren’t they watching him
Of course he don't belong in Heaven because he is the one who gave him as a sacrifice for fame and fortune
My heart hurts so bad in pain and sorrow sadly I feel bad about how this baby died. My God!!!

It's now 31 years later, (2021) why do some people still blame Eric for Conner's death, Eric had not a thing to do with it??
Oh yes he did !!
Every time I think of this situation I think of the shock and fear the little boy must have felt when he was falling for several seconds. I wonder if he screamed, and I wonder how much it hurt when he hit the building below as his body was broken. The last thing he ever felt. A really sad situation that was 100% preventable. I think all the adults that were in that apartment that morning should have gone to prison.
I totally agree with you. What were they doing at that time before it happened. I got a lot of questions in my head that i cant even fathom. Why did nobody notice or watch him? I have a 4 year old son as well and this hurts a lot. 😢
When someone falls from a high altitude they usually pass out. When they hit the ground they die instantly so it’s not like they suffer much. But still, it’s a horrible death.
I like to think that maybe he thought he was flying like superman. It makes me feel better. ❤️🙏💔
No one knows if any of this is true, that's the story Eric and his Mistress told
Such a tragedy. Can’t believe they survived all that. 😢too much pain and suffering
they say that every song has it's story but this one is rare and so tragic ,his son never get the chance to get old,I just love this song but the story behind it makes me wonder why?
“we hate tears in heaven,
it’s sad that his baby died” - phoebe bridgers
The boy's mother remarried and had two more sons. Tragedy struck again when her 21 year old son committed suicide in 2018.
OMG !
Lorri Del Santo is really going through a nighmare. I hope her living son stays safe.
@@sebastianmorell2012 and sane.
@@RebekahAPinto let's hope he'll be all fine!!
Demons are following her, she needs GOD
No parent should ever bury a child at any age under any circumstances. Lory who is Conor’s mom, later wrote that the maintainence guy who left the window open never apologized or expressed any sense of remorse!!
We lost our daughter 2 grandkids and son-in-law. You can get over your parents death. Never your children. Life is short.
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BOY WITH BEAUTIFUL EYES
wow what a nightmare. couldnt imagine this happening to my daughter.
The peculiar thing about this song is,I was watching a comedy show and this song came up. I had forgot this song,from so long ago. But I was horribly saddened to learn it’s back ground. This is such a tumultuous song,let alone the story it goes with. I’ll never here it and feel the same about it.

Music is so incredible the power that it holds. May god bless that little boy.
So sad 😞. Eric is a brilliant artist 👏
Omg, Conor looks almost exactly like my son. Can’t hardly imagine how much pain one suffers by losing a child.
Have anyone ever heard an explanation of how the nanny was right behind him according to mother, the janitor was able to stop her and warn her about the window but didn't see or stop the son⁉️🤔
I have never believed any of that story !!! I personally believe Eric had that child sacrificed for fame and fortune
😭😭😭 It broke my heart,to read that letter😭😭😭
such a talented man
Eric clapton story is so emotional when her son died in accident he create the great song tear in heaven for her son he said music save him and he became a singer more achievement in her life ,he did not achieve that award if her son did not leave him ,he became a better man
How horrible for anyone to go through
Grootste nachtmerrie wat ouders overkomen je allerliefste bezit te verliezen ..vergeet je ,je hele leven nooit meer ❤🇳🇱👋😘😘
I dont think i could have coped with a loss like that no way
Beyond the door. There's peace I'm sure
R.I.P. Connor Clapton 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm sure there is another universe enjoying Conor's music 😢
I will always love you eric
My son was 6 when I read about this , getting the love note from his son , just wow , heartbreaking ..
Leaving a window open, just stupid , how on earth do these window not have locks , restrictors , poor design.
A maintenance man had been cleaning the area and opened it. For whatever reason nothing was put in front of it.
Fuck I can't imagine what it must have taken to not break down in front of all those cameras at the funeral.
Couldn't imagine having that happen, my children are everything to me, rip Connor,
