This is one of many favorite songs. I enjoy many genres of music. Eric Clapton lost his 4 y/o son suddenly and wrote this song about him. I can sadly relate. And sometimes it soothes my soul to hear it. Other times I cannot listen at all. Today is one of those rare days when I enjoy the song, the music, the lyrics. Somehow, it gives me hope. Sharing this song with you. I will listen and try to doze off as I really need a nap. I hear a light rain falling on the screen room roof. Maybe that is where I need to be. Either way, have a great rest of the day everyone. Plans for later? Dinner plans?

I have goosebumps right now. I know that song very well. That nap, song, and rain on your screened in room sounds like it will do you good.

I still can't figure out how there could have been an unprotected open window that high up.

That song is a tear jerker for sure and when I learned years ago what it was about it makes my heart even sadder. It truly is an amazing song!

This was such a sad story wasn't it? I can understand that sometimes you just can't listen to it.

Very sad, just heartbreaking. It is hard but other times I embrace it. Like most things in life now.

I can still remember my friends who hear this song. They feel the sentiment and ponder the wordings of this song.

I like it even though I can't help feel sad when I recall why it was written. So sad to lose a child.

It's a beautiful song for a sad reason. I sweet tribute to his son, and I imagine a good way to channel his emotions, which is what musicians usually seem to do.

My husband told me about Eric Clapton's story. Thanks! Dinner plans: Slow cook corned beef roast, vegies cooked in butter and garlic on the side. After, watch The Blacklist on Netflix (computer).
