" Thankful for those thankful for the things I did "
"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.
Only stumbled on this story the other day and ofter heard the song but never knew the story behind it,so sad.

A very tragic story. Always been a Clapton fan so I'd been listening to that song and another one about the same subject for a few years before I found out what they were about. It really changes the way you hear the song forever after. On that note, this is the other song written about his son Conor.
