Eric Clapton - River Of Tears

Eric Clapton's "River Of Tears" is one of several songs he wrote in honour of his dead son Conor that appeared on the 1998 album Pilgrim. It's a beautiful and incredibly sad song, a seven minute ballad about trying not to "drown in a river of tears". The song also appeared in the relatively unknown and highly recommendable 2000 movie Dancing At The Blue Iguana about life in an L.A. strip club.
