The themes presented in both songs are death and love between a father and a son; they show us how much a father could love his son and how far could it go (unconditional love).
The song “tears in heaven” moved me very much because death took the father by surprised: all the expectations and wishes he had for his son disappear in a short period of time. But personally I felt more touched by “the last song” because I can put me in the son’s position (I’m not a mother/father, so that I could know how difficult may be to lose your son, although I could imagine it). I felt very identified with the son in this song because I had many discussions with my parents because I FEEL they don’t listen to me, and they think all my feeling are not important because of my age (they are always telling me that I don’t have to give importance to the things that worry me because they are just child stuff).
I recognize that we (adolescents) usually tend to look life as a “happy period” when you have to have fun, where there are no responsibilities and no problems to solve; but then we realized that our parents were right when they told us “it’s not always that simple”.
But although sometimes I may feel angry with them I know they want the best for me, and that they will support me in any moment of my life when I need them.
This song also made me realized that it’s good to tell your parents how you feel, what you think and what you want. In the last stanza of the lyric the son expresses how good and relieved he felt once he had told the truth to his father, and it made me notice that having a good relationship with your parents, based on confidence, understanding and hearing the other person will help the members of the family to keep join.

Here I show you one of my favorites songs. It's call Heaven. The version here is from Dj Sammy, but the original one is from Bryan Adams. I hope you like it!!

This song may be about a couple, could be wife and husband or just two people (not necessary married), that have been together since a long time (since they were young).
At first, when you’re reading the lyric you may think that when the singer says heaven, she means it literally, but at the end of it (“now our dreams are coming true”) you realize that she wants to express that they are in the best period of their lives, when they are very happy, satisfied, comfortable and full of love.
I like very much when she says “baby you’re all that I want, when you’re lying here in my arms, I’m finding it hard to believe we’re in heaven / And love is all that I need, and I found it there in your heart, it isn’t too hard to see we’re in heaven”. She contradicts herself and I think it’s because at first she analyses the situation superficially, but then, when she knows what she really wants (someone to love and who loves her), thinks if she has got that, and find out that she has certainly got it, she realizes that just being with her lover is being in heaven.
When it says “but just hold me now, cause our love will light the way” you can notice that they are old people who may be about to die, (the word “way” represents the way to death). It’s comfortable to know that the love they have for each other will help them to face up the idea of death; and also that they support each other and will be with the other in the good and bad times.
I choose this song because it’s very soft and relaxing; and taking into account the lyric, because I would like to find that kind of love in my life so that I could say the same things about him when I’ am old, and analyzing what I’ve done in my entire life.
