About This Track

“Tears in Heaven” is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the 1991 death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a 53rd-story window in his mother’s friend’s New York City condominium. By all accounts, the death was simply a tragic accident, and Clapton was distraught for months afterwards.This song is one of Clapton’s most successful, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S.

It was also used as the theme song to the 1991 film “Rush”.

    Pain and grief alone do not inspire great art... but they didn't hinder Slowhand, either, when he came up with this amazing tune. I hope this helped him, at least a bit, with his loss... it's helped who knows how many others with their own?
