Vintage music video - 一首含有虚拟语气的歌 - Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton







Lyrics: http://goo.gl/J6nDw .

The introduction copied from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxPj3GAYYZ0:
"Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother's friend, on March 20, 1991. Clapton, who arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident, was visibly distraught for months afterwards. This song is one of Clapton's most successful, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S. The song also spent three weeks at #1 on the American adult contemporary chart in 1992.

It's an excellent dirge.

As for the '虚拟语气' in the post title, by that, I don't mean falsetto, I mean Subjunctive Mood. :-)

It can take hours or even a day to dismiss unhappiness from one's mind.

So many people have been sifting Obama.

Some people tend to make overhasty decisions over critical matters, such as choosing a career for themselves, while they make tardy progresses over some other critical matters, such as enlightening themselves about how to properly rear a child.

一代英雄曹操寫下“憂思難忘”,又豈是空言。
