Tears in Heaven Is a poignant 1991 song by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings, written about the accidental death of Clapton's four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a high-rise apartment window in New York City. The song expresses a parent's grief and wonder about his deceased son's state in the afterlife, questioning if his son would recognize him in heaven. It was featured on the soundtrack for the film Rush and won several Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. @highl
