Easy Like Sunday Morning Track - Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton

Today's Easy Like Sunday Morning Track is Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. This song was written for the 1991 film Rush. The song won three Grammy awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1993.

Ok, now for the Debbie Downer part. This song was written about Clapton's 4 year old son who died in 1991. He fell from the 53rd floor of a New York apartment that was owned by his mother's friend. Clapton stated, "I almost subconsciously used music for myself as a healing agent, and lo and behold, it worked... I have got a great deal of happiness and a great deal of healing from music". I don't know if I could ever get over something like that but I'm glad he was able to.
