Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven (Official Video)

"Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother's friend, on March 20, 1991. Clapton, who arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident, was visibly 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. The song also spent three weeks at #1 on the American adult contemporary chart in 1992.

What horrible, disgusting comment!. Was you trying to sound clever with that?, because thats wrong on so many different levels. Surely no one could be so ignorant to not see this?... let me put it so you can see this for how it is....I play the guitar and i cant wait until your mum and dad die so i can write a song about them, now obviously that not the case, I don't want this to happen but i really think you should take comment off.

Tommy Emmanuel described this as "one of the best songs ever written", He went on to say, "Eric Clapton can say so much in a song using so few chords. The bridge has a "gospel arrangement" which is why so many people "feel" this song."
