For my friends Nancy Bowman and Sharon Meicke .Following the tragic death of his four-year-old song Conor, the Eric Clapton found solace in songwriting. The result was this heartfelt ballad, in which the guitar great imagines a situation in which he can spend a little more time with his little boy. But ‘Tears in Heaven’ isn’t just about death, but finding the resolve to deal with all-encompassing grief. “Beyond the door / There’s peace, I’m sure” he sings, sounding unconvinced. E.C. actually retired the song from his performances in 2004, feeling that he couldn’t connect to it in the way he had in the years following Conor’s death (such as on 1992’s Grammy-winning ‘Unplugged’ album). But in 2013, he began playing ‘Tears in Heaven’ again. https://youtube/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JxPj3GAYYZ0
