Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In 1992, Eric Clapton released "Tears in Heaven", a poignant ballad co-written with Will Jennings, reflecting on the tragic loss of his four-year-old son, Conor, who died in March 1991 after falling from a New York apartment window. Initially featured on the Rush film soundtrack, the song achieved significant commercial success, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and securing Top 10 positions in multiple countries. It garnered three Grammy Awards in 1993: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The heartfelt lyrics express a father's grief and longing, while the gentle acoustic arrangement underscores the song's emotional depth. Eric Clapton later performed an acoustic version during his MTV Unplugged session, further solidifying its place in his repertoire. Despite its success, Eric Clapton stopped performing "Tears in Heaven" in 2004, stating that he no longer felt the same sense of loss, though he has reintroduced it in recent years.
