Had to add my tribute to Clifford - the single was bought for me by my (at the time) girlfriend in 1973 - while we were at University. I had to by the album - and was blown away by the range and versatility of the music. Still got the LP - but lost the single, and the girlfriend - still brings back fond memories tho. Clifford's music was simple yet profound, and touched many of us very deeply. He is sadly missed.
I have been travelling thru south-eastern Australia, I "found" this song on a compilation CD.... I am 51 years old and have NEVER heard this song, I feel I have missed so much :( and I read that the singer has passed away..... I listen, enjoy and think of why this man was never a commercial superstar in Australia... a truley beautiful song......

my dad would play this on sunday mornings and my brother and i grew up on clifford t ward ..good memories but there in my heart and head for ever ..rip.......
feelings described by this guy are vivid to us all!..a lot of people see and feel with this guy!!!.. for me...they truely are memories that mean something personel to me!!... thank you clifford...
All those X Factor wannabees should be forced to watch this over and over until they realise this is how it should be done.... simple song... simple pure voice...SIMPLES!!!
i saw him on the old grey whistle test on bbc4 last week singing gallery.....i thought he stood out for being so nice!....and lo and behold...i come to youtube and discover Gaye and other lovely songs!
When this song was released in 1973, I was 17 & a heavy rock fan...but when I heard it, it blew me away, but I never had the courage to tell my mates that I liked it ! I played it on a juke box in the local pub, & when the outcry started, as to who put it on...I lust kept my head down !! Possibly the most beautiful song ever written.

This melody for me in the year 1973/4 was all of the good...boy lover ...today I think about ....no have old love, the love is beautfull, today I love also...viva the world, viva o Brazil and viva the love
According to the people of Portugal (and even Brazil) Clifford T Ward was a legendado portugues. They gave us Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho and we gave them our Cliff "the special one". Wish you were still with us Cliff - the world is a sadder place without your presence. Your legacy lives on and we cherish it!
There were two wonderfully gifted singer -songwriters of this era who sadly both failed to realize their full potential and both were word smiths of the highest order. One was of course Clifford T Ward and the other was Jonathan Kelly. Anyone who enjoys Clifford should also check out the early Jonathan Kelly material; especially Son Jon, I used To know You, Madeleine & Rock You To Sleep. I loved the two of them and although they are not entirely similar musically, their word paintings were!
adore this track,it takes me back to 1973 aged 16,sitting in my mums back kitchen with my little radio,on came ctw singing gaye,fell in love with the song,still love it today,its my fave song of all time,true music genius.
In my early 70's days, courting my soon to be (and still is) wife, we discovered CTW. Those days were filled with hours and hours of us together with Clifford T , this man, this beautifuly eloquent man, touched our souls like no other musican either before, or after, his artistry and lyrical genius transcends to hieghts others can only dream of attaining, his premature, so very sad passing has left the world a poorer place. We thank you CTW for the rich memories and being part of our lives.
@MrPoupard During the 1970's Al Stewart cracked the USA with 2 excellent multi million selling songs (Time Passages and Year of the Cat) sadly our Cliff's attempt to crack the USA did not succeed. Cliff was an outstanding singer songwriter and producer - he refused to play concerts and tour . Al is a great singer, lyricist and live charismatic performer. I agree with you that musically they created outstanding songs that to this day sound fresh and timeless. Classic artistes!
@MrSteveOneal Many thanks for all of that. It makes we wonder of they ever actually met in the 1970's or were ever able to compare notes. For me the "feel" between their (different) bodies of work at the time is so similair as to be almost uncanny, a sort-of "poetic Englishness" runs through their pararell work like a slab of granite.
Do you know if there is a video of Cliff anywhere when he appeared on Top of the pops singing Gaye, no one seems to have it, one of his lost video's i hear.
@hildamary100 Thank you! I was listening to J.W. and you are the reason I download this yesterday. This is a truly beautiful song. My goodness, if it were possible, how we would all benefit from a few more CTW’s in this world right now. Beautiful bitter sweet song!
I heard tihis song yesterday on the eve of my 53rd birthday! It simply brought back my teenage years and the fab 70's
When I played Home Thoughts It reduced me to tears, we all seem to grow up and lose track of old freinds, my brother moved abroad, we see so little of each other and time is passing. Thank God for the talents of Clifford, bet he was a lovely human, he brought so much to many.
in 1973 at the age of 16 l was into led zep,jimi hendrix,but when l heard this song it just blow me away big tlme,it was and still is my fave song of all time,l never tire of listening to it,CTW was a genius and is so sadly missed.
Clifford T Ward taught my Dad English when he was @ North Bromsgrove High school in 1971/1972 . My old mans told me a few tails about Clifford, and how he was idolised @ school.
lve said for years clifford never got the recongnition he deserved,lets hope through this site people will see that he was a music genius,l have loved this song since 1973,it will always be my favorite song ever,l never tire of hearing it,so brilliant and also so moving,timeless, a true classic.
MartiW , so ashamed of you , you are bringing your country down by being like this and very bad taste against a legend like CTW , such a sad person you are !!!
putrifiedp, l agree 100% about your comments clifford was in my opinion, a genius,and this was and still is the most beauiful song ever ,it never fails to move me.l was 16 in 1973, l can still remember buying this song and listening to it over and over again.God bless clifford ,best wishes to all of his family and friends xx
this is possibly the most beautiful song ever written. Never fails to hit the mark. Most of his songs are brilliant. A most underated songwriter and singer, should have been MASSIVE......RIP Clifford
my brother went to bromsgrove college whilst this was in the charts, and he used to see clifford t ward, who was also studying there, i was only a kid then and kept telling my brother to get his autograph for me, but he never did, r i p clifford t ward
I grew up in the 1970´s and this was my song! My name is Gabrielle but my family have always called me Gaye. Such a beautiful name even if I say so myself!! :-)
l got this record in 1973 when l was 16 it was and still is the most beauiful song ever written , l never get tired of listening to it,so sadly missed a true genius.
Day, you came and went away in my heart you will always stay your the song that songbirds sing your the hand with pretty rings oh Day Day you come out when children play in the spring when songbirds sing are you ever going to stay your the song in my heart your what laughter's all about left for me there is no doubt Please come back to me one day
@valniragasparri You took the words right out of my heart because this is the music of my life also. Not gonna try to call my favourite because I love so many. Well, arlighty then, "Sal", what a little charmer is this? Do you know it? If not, find it and you will fall in love all over again.
@lutzferrando Escusa mi castellano pero no puedo responder. Yo tambien recorda mi adoescensia escuchando a este cancion,! que dias mas felices! Abrazos a todos los Castellanos y enhorabuena en la copa!
this was the first clifford t ward song i ever heard so many years ago . ive only just learnt to use th internet and to be able to voice the way i feel about the musc i love is so wonderful . ive been reading all the coments written, so many with so much compassion my favourite is heaven
He has a very passionate and caring fan club and most of his music is still available. Although Gaye was his first hit (and only big hit) this video is a bit later in his career, I think - possibly 1980s?
My humble opinion is that CTW found the tiny soul-centre which lies in every human.
He is remembered mostly by the ex-teenies of the 70`s who were being blasted by
all kinds of uptown and very actual rock/pop Era which was possible to blow our minds at that time. We had a wonderful Era. We were surrounded with the demi-gods of the not yet present commercial music industry. We could enjoy, and we still can, the best of times. CTW was the part of that which Beethoven is to Wagner.
got the song on the original single , got the album. recorded i on my sony walkman . got it on cd, got it on mp3, generations of multi media, it is still timeless
While not wishing to denigrate the fact that there is great music and great singer-songwriters all over the world, Clifford T seems to be yet another example of the peculiar British trait of ignoring or overlooking the genius in our midst.
Lovely words in your description, Clifford really was top class, in words & music,

He has a very passionate and caring fan club and most of his music is still available. Although Gaye was his first hit (and only big hit) this video is a bit later in his career, I think - possibly 1980s?

Still sends shivers down my spine how musically perfect this is.
Sadly no longer with us but a great musician and his brilliance is still here for us to enjoy

My humble opinion is that CTW found the tiny soul-centre which lies in every human.
He is remembered mostly by the ex-teenies of the 70`s who were being blasted by
all kinds of uptown and very actual rock/pop Era which was possible to blow our minds at that time. We had a wonderful Era. We were surrounded with the demi-gods of the not yet present commercial music industry. We could enjoy, and we still can, the best of times. CTW was the part of that which Beethoven is to Wagner.

When this was out, I was a spotty and revolting 15-year-old and hated it.
I'm 52 and love it... musically, lyrically, the spirit. Wonderful melody.

While not wishing to denigrate the fact that there is great music and great singer-songwriters all over the world, Clifford T seems to be yet another example of the peculiar British trait of ignoring or overlooking the genius in our midst.
