Tears in Heaven was written and performed by Eric Clapton after the death of his 4 year old son, who fell from the 53rd floor of an apartment building.    After a period of reclusion and mourning, he wanted to take on a project, writing a personal song for the soundtrack of a film.    The song was later released on Clapton’s album Unplugged.   It became a number one song, won 3 Grammy awards and eventually reached Platinum status.

The early performances were heartfelt and mesmerizing and after so many years, the song is part of us, a reminder of what it might be like to lose someone.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in Heaven?
Would you be the same
If I saw you in Heaven?
