cosmosis Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 From what I heard, yes. It was also used in the sountrack for Rush. A story about an undercover cop who eventually became addicted to heroin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Here's a link on snopes.com that gives a synopsis of what happened and some other songs Clapton wrote about his son, Conor. There's also some information on the songfacts website about "Tears In Heaven." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutho Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Clapton wrote tears in heaven for his son and he also wrote Circus for his son which is a incredably sad song if you listen to the lyrics it will make you cry he also wrote a song called Holy Mother which is on the August album for His close friend Richard Manuel who Died in 1986 on tour with the Band another sad but beatiful song he makes you feel the grief and pain that he is going through with these three songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
