Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton

This song, released in 1992 was written by Eric Clapton after the death of his 4 year old son, in march 20th 1991.

This song is about imagining founding back his son in heaven...

[Verse 1] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?

[Chorus] I must be strong and carry on ‘Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven

[Verse 2] Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven?

[Chorus] I'll find my way through night and day ‘Cause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven

[Bridge] Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees Time can break your heart, have you begging please Begging please

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus] Beyond the door, there's peace, I'm sure And I know there'll be no more tears in Heaven

[Verse 3] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would you be the same if I saw you in Heaven?

[Chorus/Outro] I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven

An Eric Clapton parody is running through my head: When you wanna wake up, better get yo cup of caffeine…and it goes on from there, I won’t bore you with the details of the rest of the ode to “Christian crack”, but it makes me smile & that’s enough….Lol ;-). Joyeux Vendredi, mes amis!

June 21, 1967: Cream on Top of the Pops [Photo: Ron Howard]

August 16, 1966: Cream play the Marquee for the first time, although they had previously played the club on many other occasions with bands such as Alexis Korner's Blues Inc., The Yardbirds, Graham Bond Organisation, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Manfred Mann. With them on stage is the rarely photographed fourth founding member, a stuffed gorilla. If you can't find a bear, a gorilla will have to do...[photos: Tommy Arvidsson]

"We want a turkey on stage while we're playing. We all like turkeys and it's nice to have them around. Another dada thing - I was going to have this hat made of a brim with a cage on top and a live frog inside. It would be very nice to have stuffed bears on stage. We'd ignore them - not acknowledge their presence at all"

-Eric Clapton - interviewed in July 1966 by Chris Welch, shortly before Cream made their debut.
