♬Eric Clapton回憶錄
「樂與怒」(rock and roll)流行歌手Eric Clapton是個傳奇人物,與民歌手Bob Dylan齊名。最近,Eric Clapton宣布寫回憶錄,由Doubleday公司出版。
2007年Eric Clapton在北美巡迴演唱的時候會推出這本回憶錄,同時推出他的CD精華歌集。Eric Clapton比較受歡迎的歌曲包括(Wonderful Tonight),(Lay down Sally)和(Tears in Heaven)。
(Tears in Heaven)拿了格林美歌曲獎。1991年Clapton的兒子Conor墮樓死亡,這位流行樂大師寫了(Tears in Heaven)來紀念他。有兩句歌詞是這樣的:「Beyond the door; There’s peace I’m sure; And I know there’ll be no more; Tears in heaven(天堂大門裡面,我相信只會是一片寧靜。天堂內只有快樂,沒有悲哀)」。Clapton愛子之情,溢於言表。我們可以從這本回憶錄了解Clapton的一生,也可以回顧樂壇的點點滴滴。都市日報

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.
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 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.

附記:
這首歌提醒我在紐西蘭求學時,有位Kiwi老師也是個基督徒,他在很多次上課的時候,都教我很多很好聽的英文歌,這首歌也是其中之一,還包括了No Matter What,Morning has broken,以前我都不知道它是一首詩歌,也是用來敬拜讚美神的,最難忘他抱著吉它對著我唱歌的模樣,現在很想時光倒流,好好的再跟他聊一聊.
