Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack Rush is the soundtrack album for the 1991 film of the same name. Written and performed by Eric Clapton, the soundtrack album includes the song "Tears in Heaven," which won three Grammy awards in 1993.[1]

In a review of the album, AllMusic Guide wrote: "This album has far more impact than you might expect from the score to a movie -- there's a sense of the music here working something out in Clapton's heart, a sense given a lot of power thanks to the intense, heart-wrenching passion invoked by some of the turns taken here.At its best, Clapton's music can speak of the pain he feels -- and Clapton has rarely been better than he is here."[2]
