WANNA CRY?

Hit this link.



English guitarist Eric Clapton--to whom many referred as "God"--lost his child, his son. Many years ago.


The son fell off the balcony--maybe three or four floors from the ground. He died on impact.


What I love about "Tears in Heaven" is that Sir Clapton is owning it.


Yeah!


But it is soooooo fucking sad.


God.



I can't even imagine losing a goldfish.


Listen to it. Keep the facial tissues handy.

Yeah, this song always pretty much destroys me. But I love it - I love books and music and movies that totally wrench my heart. Am strange ;P

Also? (In case I haven't commented enough...) I really like the juxtaposition of this post, with Tupac and Mozart. :)

I think the point that most of us do know what happened to his little boy, makes listening to him sing this just that much more heart breaking.

Hi btw. ;)

Nope, not clicking...I don't want to cry--I already do enough of that.

I remember when it came out, very good song, despite being so sad.
