Happy Father’s Day, GrayViners!
It’s time once again to sit back, sip your coffee, and enjoy our Sunday Classics pick, where you get to be the DJ. And this week’s winner is a song that tugs at the heartstrings in the most beautiful way: "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton, suggested by GrayViner @Hazeleyes !

Now, a little backstory while you listen:
Eric Clapton wrote "Tears in Heaven" after the heartbreaking loss of his 4-year-old son, Conor, in 1991. The song was part of his healing process, and while it came from unimaginable grief, it’s become one of the most moving and universally loved ballads ever recorded.
It reminds many of us how precious every moment with our loved ones truly is—and on this Father’s Day, that feels especially meaningful. The song went on to win three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year, and remains one of Clapton’s most personal and powerful pieces.
It’s a song that hits home for so many—whether you're a father, a son, or simply someone who’s loved and lost.
Go ahead and give it a listen today—and maybe give your dad, your kids, or your memories a little extra hug while you're at it.
