“Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton. Clapton famously wrote this incredibly sad song after the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell out of a window in 1991. It was a part of the grieving process, but in 2004, Clapton stopped playing this song live because he felt the grieving process was complete. “I didn’t feel the loss anymore, which is so much a part of performing those songs” he said.
