Why are there tears in heaven?

Eric Clapton's 1992 hit Tears In Heaven was borne out of unbearably sad circumstances. The song is a tribute to love's lasting powers and a lament for the death of Clapton's four-year-old son, Conor, who died on 20 March 1991 when he accidentally slipped from the 53rd-floor window of a New York City apartment building.

The melody came back to him when US director Lili Fini Zanuck offered him the chance to write a song for an action film called Rush, which starred Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Patric as undercover narcotic cops. Clapton played Zanuck a few chords of the melody that had stuck in his mind. “What I heard was Eric sitting in his hotel room and saying, ‘If you don’t like this, I’ve got plenty more,’” Zanuck later told Newsweek. “Then he began playing Tears In Heaven… it was so painfully personal, so obviously about the son that he’d lost, I wondered if it would work in the movie.” At the time Clapton had written only one initial verse (“Would you hold my hand/If I Saw you in Heaven?”), and he asked Will Jennings to write additional verses and a bridge. Jennings, who feared that the song was “too maudlin” to be a hit, was a skilled movie wordsmith, having already written the lyrics for Up Where We Belong, from An Officer And A Gentleman, and My Heart Will Go On, from Titanic. He eventually agreed to complete the song.

“I used music for myself as a healing agent”

Tears In Heaven was a difficult song to record, and Clapton, who sang and played guitar and dobro on the track, had to record several takes for producer Russ Titelman. In the studio version, Clapton was joined by Randy Kerber (synthesiser), JayDee Maness (pedal steel guitar), Nathan East (bass), Gayle Levant (Celtic harp), Lenny Castro (percussion) and Jimmy Bralower (drum machine). Released as a single on 8 January 1992, a week ahead of the Rush soundtrack release, Tears In Heaven went to No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100. By the end of that year, it had sold more than three million copies in the US alone.

Do widows get lonely?

Loneliness, isolation, social isolation…for many widowed people these are parts of the reality of widowed life. The powerful feeling of emptiness that follows the death of our spouse or partner can be one of the most painful experiences of our widowed life.

Cindy Lang

It’s been said that ‘lonely’ is not a powerful enough word to describe widowhood. Loneliness, isolation, social isolation…for many widowed people these are parts of the reality of widowed life. The powerful feeling of emptiness that follows the death of our spouse or partner can be one of the most painful experiences of our widowed life. The desire to avoid that empty feeling and the aloneness of widowed life can lead us to make decisions that may not be in our best interest. Learning to be okay alone is not a skill that is often taught in our culture. Honestly examining our feelings around loneliness may not be easy, but that discussion can be life changing. So, let’s talk about loneliness. Action is the greatest answer to loneliness. Inspired, you will leave this workshop with a tool kit of insight, understanding, easy to implement strategies and with a few new friends a long the way.
