Usually in a song, there is one killer line, one line which stands head & shoulders above all the rest. But I have just listened to this song four times in a row & quite honestly, every line is perfect, just perfect. What a legacy Clifford left us all. One day I hope that he gets the recognition he truly deserves. Thank you for posting this & making many peoples lives just a bit richer.
I swear by all that I believe in. My oath is sure in my heart as sure as I am alive. As long as I exist here on this earth I will not cease in obtaining Justice for my son Elliott. I promise my boy that for us "that the best is yet to come". Do not believe the lies, never doubt my love. You will not always be a child, one day you will easily know the truth and the truth will set you free. Never fall into the trap of hatred, as you are being taught by others. Always look for me I'm not far away
I love these CTW tracks you put together. I was reminded of "Gaye" this evening (I have it on a vinyl compilation album somewhere) and it led me to this one and to "Home Thoughts From Abroad", both of which I had forgotten. I must try to get hold of a CTW CD - thanks, scalpsie.
any thanks for viewing and enjoying ...feel free to enjoy a quiet,relaxing time viewing all the others.Much appreciate you taking time to view and comment - thank you.Peace.
Thanks for posting these gems. I cannot really think of a more complete recording than this one. The memories flood back when I listen to it. CTW manages to capture something very special, evocative, moving
I agree jm.Clifford was a special person. He was almost speaking in his music at a level that was direct,not condescending and a manner in which we could all relate to. The man was a pure intellect. So sad that he, Phil Lynott, Rory Gallagher and so many other great talents died so young.
It almost makes me cry everytime I hear his music and lyrics yet I'm forced to listen because they have such meaning. '
as always - a superb song from a great artist. By the way Scalpsie - what has happened to "someone I know" - I can't find it on you tube any more and always liked the song - bring it back if you can. many thanks for keeping the work of this great artist alive
Thanks 'scalpsie' for helping to keep the memories of CTW alive - more power to you - Hospital Radio guy in Leeds who met and became friends with CTW still plays one of his songs every week on his show.
A message for you scalpsie m8. I have always been a true follower of meaningful music, CTW's is of the highest calibre, Ive spent years listening to his haunting music. I spend hours on the tube looking at what you have accomplished with CTW, I can't help congratulating you on your great work here. I have an idea! I'm sure that if you were to organise a ctw event somewhere, somehow, then I know fans would come, I know I would. I loved Clifford so much, I miss him, his gentle ways, well? Paul. TY
Great upload, such a sad song,i was fortunate to attend a few c.t.w ,s conventions before his m.s took over,he always found time to talk, he was a great inspiration in my own song writing it was a great shame he never received the acclaim he so richly deserved to quote Justin Hayward he was our own best kept secret,R I P.you are sadly missed///
Yes I heard it too this morning on Ken Bruce's programme, on Radio 2. I had forgotten what a superb song with such feeling. I had the CD., but left it on a radiator one night. The case melted, and sealed it inside. I hope to get it from Santa this year. R.I.P Clifford T. Ward. xxx

And how nice it is to see long standing viewers keep coming back...not so much the video but the music...so pleased to hear from you again...best wishes,peace and contentment wished and prayed for.
scalpsie, there is nothing left to say about this song or clifford , I have had the benefit and pleasure of listening since childhood , thanks to my father , however , your artistic eye for compiling these memorable video scenes is actually award winning , and just multiplies the impact of clifford's songs, you deserve recognition also , thank you very much for this , it is appreciated
Hi scalpsie, hope everything's fine. Is there any chance for uploading a video with Clifford's 1974 song Jayne from Andromeda Spiral. It's building up very slowly in the verses, but the chorus is just stunning. Love that one to bits. Should have been a big hit, really.
I was a kid just a hippy in jeans I didn't know my way, I wasn't able to feel, my parents never saw me play. I met a gentle man his music was from heaven above, his aching tunes touched me and showed me how to love. I grew to a man, big and strong, I saw my friends decline, but how I remember his songs. How sad that a loving soul should leave me now, that his life should be done, Oh how I wish for you Clifford that the best was yet to come. (For all that remember him and grew with him) Peace!
Beautifully worded and sincere expression of feeling.Humbled and deeply touched.Many thanks for watching and it bringing such bittersweet happiness to you.Thank you.Peace and contentment wished and prayed for.
what a beautiful emotional moving song.Clifford sings it so well you canfeel his pain in the words. I am speechless listening to this wonderful song,I know he is smiling looking down on us all-5***** but deserves a lot more.
GREETINGS FROM IRELAND-SLAINTE- Thank you so much for posting this
Beautiful piece of filming to a backdrop of in my opinion the best of our poetic singer/songwriters singing one of his most evocative songs. Total heaven, how lucky we were to have him even for a short time before he fell victim to the dreadful MS. Thank you for posting this, the man was a genius!
Just as Beauty is as beauty does I shall recall her as she was with girlish charms upon the sea like a pod of dolphins in their glee Oh happy few oh happy we like gentle squalls she came to me and wet the face of the sleeping sky And danced with light refracted by within the depth of memory Oh happy few oh happy we Like marooned sailors looking out To find this mermaid round about. But not to tempt us onto shore Nor rocks to cast our sails no more Her songs there in the seaweeds lie
This is so beautiful in every was. The words and the way he sang them are so moving. So sad for him to end his life as he did but he has left a touching legacy.
I have to say big thank to scalpsie for this video. A wonderful song by a beautiful man and his passing is a great loss. If I had to choose a favourite all time song it is this one. It never ceases to move me. Thank you
I nearly lost my wife & soul mate to cancer 2 yrs ago and when I listened to the words of this most beautiful of songs it really brought it home that you have to believe that there is nothing more precious than life its self and I really do believe The best is yet to come as every day I thank the big man for the previous one. The words "and if you leave me now like you say you might........ brings tears to my eyes. peace
@jm9407 Clifford T Ward has very few peers as a songwriter ! His songs has such beautiful sentiments but also sadness which evokes such strong emotions. He wrote from the heart and it is sad and a great loss to music he was taken so soon from us ., but , ironically the brevity of his life gives sustenance and immortallity to his music and memory. Long Live ! Talent ! and a special gift to life !!
Apologies.No idea how your comment escaped my attention.Such sincerity and simple sense in all you say...the important things in life.Beauty in all you see and touch around.Peace my friend.
I remember watching CTW on top of the pops. I was intrigued and was only a kid. He is one of the greatest writers and singers ever. From another Irish fan. R.I.P.
Hello from Ireland..Just heard this song for the first time ever,Clifford had a great love for Ireland,and many here love his music..and now I am among them..Thank you for posting and introducing this gem to me.E
Delighted you've joined the trusty band of your countrymen who like yourself delight in CTW's music.Delighted you enjoy so much.Sincerely grateful for your support and commenting.Peace.
Home thoughts & gaye were the ones I loved then years later I find all the other gems....this guy was awsome the words are right for so many people rip ctw.
Oh yes it does thankyou. I remember some of his songs when I was 11-14 ish in the early seventies. Some of his others are new to me but very touching indeed. I wonder does he still sing these days. Carolyn -x-
Hi Carolyn, It seems from your coment that you weren't aware Clifford had passed away some years ago? He had a long and painful battle with MS which was really tough on him and his family. His music however lives on and will continue to touch us make certain moments in the day feel truly whole.. - Paul -x-
This has to be one of the greatest songs of my lifetime and I am now 57 years old.I am moved to tears every time I listen to it and I will play it every week for the rest of my days.God bless you Clifford we miss you terribly.
So deeply touched and sincerely humbled by your beautiful comments.I am so delighted that the music has such meaning for you .Thank you for viewing and being so positive.Peace my friend. Hey ...only 57 - cool!! :)
I am 51 and remember finding some new albums that my hippie brother had I was a young Bowie fan and still are, was into Al Jolson, Sinatra, and most rock music. However, when I heard this man sing I was hooked for life. Just like you his music can make me cry and I was a life long Scotts biker. For me CTW touches your emotions deep inside and his songs remind me of past loves, my wife and my two sons. His music and voice are pure magic and a true legend. Thanks Jim
@kevthe45man Well said my friend this is one special singer songwriter. This man moves me to tears and thats not easy to make this cynical Scotsman cry. This fan really misses Mr Wards musical genuis. He makes me think back to my first love, the pasion and the pain. He makes me think about my life and why I should make every second count. Thank you very much Clifford T Ward. jim
Like an earlier comment somehow this comment escaped reply ...apologies. It's such a sincere and heart touching song and I understand completely how you feel when it's played.Love it.Belated thank you for viewing and being touched so.Peace.
This song is incredible. Every time I listen to it, I hear a new nuance in a line, which can be said for all of Cliffords work. It is beautiful, in it's simplicity & gentle melancholy. The video is, incidentally, absolutely perfect for the song. Nice work !
Fantastic song and singer,this still brings a lump to my throat and reminds me of a lady I loved then and still think of now. A very sad song which all blokes who,ve loved and lost can relate to.
i am listening to this after a glass or two of wine and thinking I've been married 30yrs and still love carol ann so much and now the words that this man wrote are making me cry cause they are beautiful
Couldn't agree more in the sentiment that this is such a beautiful song....deeply touching.Huge thank you in appreciation of your taking time to view and enjoy.Peace.
My wife left the house feeling really bad today. I tried a joke that turned sour. It's tough at the moment. I knew which song would start to recover the situation. I've visited here a number of times to listen to it. This time I thought I'd leave a message of thanks to scalpsie for a great video and for cheering me up.
I love the songs. I kept on listening to it. May someone help me out with the lyrics. could not find it really. I happen to watch this while searching for some music video of North and South and i got this. a very beatiful song and melody as well. Thanks clifford.
Clifford was so wonderfully unique, he wasn't motivated by money & image, he only wanted to write great music, about love, loss & life. A tragic loss when he passed away, yet his music lives on more than ever now.
Also heard it on Terry Wogan's show on Thursday 16 July. The song blew me away. Good work by Scalpsie here. Frankly been quite emotional as the song has brought to my memory my dear wife who has recently been taken from me following a battle with cancer. The verse beginning 'And if you leave me now' is very appropriate and not easy to listen to but still I do. Very beautiful, very sad.
I know how you feel - I lost my husband following his battle with cancer - we were married 33 years - listen to Scalpsie's download "Evanesence" - it says it all!
Yes, thanks for your note. I took your advice on Evanescence. It didn't 'get' to me like this one for some reason - even though it is more direct. Anyhow, thanks for your advice/empathy and of course I would wish you the very best as you cope with your own loss.
Very touching comment. I do hope you have found the strength to get through this terrible time. I have been there, believe me I know how difficult it is.
Great song. I heard it on radio 2 today so downloaded it. Never heard of Clifford T Ward before so had a read about him. Sorry to of his illness and death. Very sad but his music lives on.
another good posting scalpsie of a brilliant lyracist ,who never got the credit he deserved...

Oh yes it does thankyou. I remember some of his songs when I was 11-14 ish in the early seventies. Some of his others are new to me but very touching indeed. I wonder does he still sing these days. Carolyn -x-

Hi Carolyn, It seems from your coment that you weren't aware Clifford had passed away some years ago? He had a long and painful battle with MS which was really tough on him and his family. His music however lives on and will continue to touch us make certain moments in the day feel truly whole.. - Paul -x-

I am 51 and remember finding some new albums that my hippie brother had I was a young Bowie fan and still are, was into Al Jolson, Sinatra, and most rock music. However, when I heard this man sing I was hooked for life. Just like you his music can make me cry and I was a life long Scotts biker. For me CTW touches your emotions deep inside and his songs remind me of past loves, my wife and my two sons. His music and voice are pure magic and a true legend. Thanks Jim

@kevthe45man Well said my friend this is one special singer songwriter. This man moves me to tears and thats not easy to make this cynical Scotsman cry. This fan really misses Mr Wards musical genuis. He makes me think back to my first love, the pasion and the pain. He makes me think about my life and why I should make every second count. Thank you very much Clifford T Ward. jim

This song is incredible. Every time I listen to it, I hear a new nuance in a line, which can be said for all of Cliffords work. It is beautiful, in it's simplicity & gentle melancholy. The video is, incidentally, absolutely perfect for the song. Nice work !

My wife left the house feeling really bad today. I tried a joke that turned sour. It's tough at the moment. I knew which song would start to recover the situation. I've visited here a number of times to listen to it. This time I thought I'd leave a message of thanks to scalpsie for a great video and for cheering me up.

Clifford was so wonderfully unique, he wasn't motivated by money & image, he only wanted to write great music, about love, loss & life. A tragic loss when he passed away, yet his music lives on more than ever now.

Also heard it on Terry Wogan's show on Thursday 16 July. The song blew me away. Good work by Scalpsie here. Frankly been quite emotional as the song has brought to my memory my dear wife who has recently been taken from me following a battle with cancer. The verse beginning 'And if you leave me now' is very appropriate and not easy to listen to but still I do. Very beautiful, very sad.

I know how you feel - I lost my husband following his battle with cancer - we were married 33 years - listen to Scalpsie's download "Evanesence" - it says it all!

So very sorry - see my note on Scalpsies' "Best is Yet to Come".
BlackSheba1 2 years ago 2
Yes, thanks for your note. I took your advice on Evanescence. It didn't 'get' to me like this one for some reason - even though it is more direct. Anyhow, thanks for your advice/empathy and of course I would wish you the very best as you cope with your own loss.
