In an interview in 1992, Clapton said of the song, It was in the back of my head but it didnt really have a reason for being until I was scoring this movie.Īnd it is a little ambiguous because it could be taken to be about Conor but it also is meant to be part of the film.
He dealt with the grief of his sons death by cowriting Tears in Heaven for the soundtrack with Will Jennings.
On 20 March 1991, Claptons 4-year-old son Conor died after falling from the 53rd-floor window of a New York City apartment belonging to Conors mother s friend. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Tears in Heaven 362nd on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It won three Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year. In his home country the United Kingdom it reached number five on the UK Singles Chart, and also charted in the top 10 in more than twenty nations around the world. In January 1992, Clapton performed the song in front of an audience at Bray Studios, Berkshire, England for MTV Unplugged, with the recording appearing on his Unplugged album. In Sweden, Tears in Heaven reached number four on the Sverigetopplistan singles chart, where it spent a total of 30 weeks on chart.
