Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

"Tears In Heaven" is a remarkable song that many have shed tears over. Even the writer himself shed tears over his amazing work. It was written after the death of his son, Conor Clapton on March 20Th 1991. Conor Clapton had fallen from a 53rd story window. For nine months, Clapton had concentrated on "...coming to terms with his loss rather than on performing." "Tears in Heaven" was created for the 1991 movie called Rush, and has won a Grammy Award in 1993, and won the award for Best Pop Vocal Performance Male Category, and Song of the Year. This song was included in the his "Unplugged" album that was released in 1992. The album had another song "The Circus Left Town" which was also wrote due to the loss of Connor Clapton. Most songs written do not have a certain reason or have been part of any emotional process, unlike Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" for his dear son Connor Clapton.
