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.
