Tears in Heaven

“Tears In Heaven” is  a song composed by Eric Clapton in 1992, when his 4 years old son Conor died in an accident, falling from a 53th floor of a high building in Manhattan. This song won 3 Grammys in 1993 and was also a soundtrack of the movie “Rush”.

Through this song Eric Clapton express his feelings about the death of his son. I think the song helped him to recover from the pain, and also to console him.

The song talks about hope, recovering, being strong and carry on with life. This great composer finds a way to use the circumstances in his life to write songs, even if the circumstances are painful.
