The most beautiful song I've ever heard is the last track on the Hannibal Soundtrack, called "Vide Cor Meum."

It's from the outside opera scene in the movie. It's not from a real opera, unfortunately, just made for the movie. It's a great recording and sounds good with cans or speakers.

Other than that, the venerable "Adagio for Strings" by Barber comes in second on my list.

Strings seem good at making people cry.

The Beatles' "Free As A Bird" got me to have tears welling up in my eyes today....while I was shopping at Banana Republic. I actually stopped everything, stood underneath the Cambridge Soundworks speaker that BP was using, and listened, really listened, to the whole song. This is the first time I listened to the song since George Harrison's passing. When this song came out, it was such a sad song already (to me anyway). Today, it hit me really hard, especially during George's slide guitar solo. I really don't know what happened today. Geez, I hope no one noticed....

Another one is Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet".

Off of Clapton's Unplugged CD














tears in heaven






On 20 March 1991 at




11 a.m., four-and-a-half-year-old Conor Clapton died when he fell from a 53rd-story window in a New York City apartment. He landed on the roof of an adjacent four-story building.




Conor was in the custody of his mother, Italian actress Lori Del Santo, and they were staying in the apartment during a visit to New









York from Italy. The boy's father, Eric Clapton, was also in New York (his permanent home is in Surrey, England) and was staying at a nearby hotel at the time of the tragedy. Clapton and Del Santo never wed. (Eric was married to Pattie Boyd, George Harrison's former wife, at the time of Conor's August 1986 birth). Clapton has another child, Ruth Kelly, born in January, 1985, to Yvonne Khan Kelly (also during Clapton's marriage to Boyd).




The death of Conor Clapton was one of those accidents that seem so preventable with hindsight yet aren't imaginable until they happen. The housekeeper had just finished cleaning the window and left it open to air the room when Conor ran past him and fell out the 4-by-6 opening. By law, New York City apartments must have window guards installed on every window in all residential buildings with three or more tenants, but a 1984 ruling exempted condominiums from this regulation, placing the onus upon the owners of such units to install such safety devices. The apartment Del Santos and her son were staying in was a condo unit, thus the window Conor fell through lacked a guard. The death of his son had a deep impact on Eric Clapton. For nine months the grieving father concentrated on coming to terms with his loss rather than on performing. When he returned to the stage, his music had changed, becoming softer, more powerful, and more reflective. "Tears in Heaven" (composed by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings) was Clapton's way of pouring his grief and growing acceptance of Conor's loss into his music. The song was created for the 1991 film Rush, but in truth it was always about Conor -- whatever Clapton was feeling was bound to come out in whatever he wrote. At the 1993 Grammy Awards, Clapton's recording of "Tears in Heaven" won the award for Best Pop Vocal Performance (Male Category), garnered Song of the Year honors for Clapton, and helped propel his "Unplugged" album into the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance spot and the winner's circle for the coveted Album of the Year prize.
