在一次演出归来的途中,年轻的布鲁斯吉他大师Stevie Ray Vaughan和Clapton的演出伙伴Colin Smythe 和Nigel Browne 在直升机失事的事故中丧生,克莱普顿坐在后面的飞机上亲眼目睹了这一惨痛的场面。他们都是克莱普顿最亲近的朋友。几个月后,他的幼子Conor从曼哈顿53层楼的窗口意外坠下身亡。这不仅仅是英国吉他摇滚巨星,这不仅仅是6项格莱美获奖歌手,这只是一位平凡的父亲,一个因为失去孩子而频频苛责自己的可怜父亲。我们难以想象50多岁才得子的他失去儿子的心情,而这首歌就是写给他的亡儿的。 http://m.xbdj.cn/12e4e203ca1f11e36c88269008c37b6912/www.xbdj.cn.mp3
真正的大喜或大悲之后反而是平静,没有伤过的人永远不会懂……
Tears In Heaven
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Will 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 knee
Time can break your heart. Have you 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
Will 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
