Transcript of Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven
Rocío Remuiñan & Daniel Rubio
Introduction
We have chosen to Eric Clapton
because I really like us, we think that it
is a man who has given a lot to music
and can even give more.
Life
Eric Patrick Clapton (born 30 March 1945)
is an English musician,singer-songwriter and
guitarist. He is the only three-time inductee to
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a
solo artist and separately as a member of the
Yardbirds and Cream.
Awards
Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Clapton ranked second inRolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and fourth in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time". He was also named number five in Time magazine's list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009.
Tears In Heaven
The song was written about the pain
and loss Clapton felt following the death
of his four-year-old son, Conor. Conor
fell from a window of a 53rd-floor New
York apartment building owned by his
mother's friend on March 20, 1991.
Tears In Heaven
“Tears in Heaven" is one of Clapton's
most successful songs, as it reached
number two on the Billboard Hot
100 singles chart in the U.S. The song
also stayed three weeks as No. 1 on
the American adult contemporary
chart in 1992.
Tears In Heaven
Since 2004, Eric Clapton not already
plays the song "Tears in Heaven"
because says that it is has finally lost
the feeling of absence of your child; a
little thanks to the weather, and prefers
not to revive him singing the song, and
of course, is suffering that no one wants
to live.
Opinion
In our opinion, we think that it is a very
nice song, why it is quite nice to dismiss
his son Connor. Besides being a
beautiful song, it is also a soothing song
and a little sad if the letter is analyzed.
The Song, Lyrics
Would you know my nameIf I saw you in heaven?Would it be the sameIf I saw you in heaven?
I must be strongAnd carry on,'Cause I know I don't belongHere in heaven.
Would you hold my handIf I saw you in heaven?Would you help me standIf I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my wayThrough night and day,'Cause I know I just can't stayHere in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please,
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?
Would 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.
