I love this video - it's pretty political but hell, it surely needs to be said! Fell in love with Cliff when I was aprx 14, and it never left me, ever. What a wonderful human being and superb songsmith he was. He was taken far too soon, it was simply wicked. I am sure he is at peace but, none the same, we sure do as hell miss ya fella! Thanks for filling up my adolescent years and now, so much time later, also returning me to this song with a better, more enlighted & healthier perspective!
i bought the album home thoughts when it was released back in 73.i have been playing it ever since.this is a beautiful song with a lesson,should anyone chose to see it.the best video i have ever seen on the tube,well done and god bless.
This wonderful man always sang about spreading the message of peace, what a special special person CTW was and what a wonderful gift he has left behind for us all to remember him by... his beautiful music.... long live his memory x
Chris De Burgh is back to his ballads. Check out the Storyman album. Funny you should mention Chris because CTW and CDeB were my favourite two artists back in the 1970's. Both great storytellers.
Jesus told the apostles to buy a sword thus making provision for the defense of Nations. It is the error of the left to think that the echoes of heros aught to be decried.
That is the title of an early Lightfoot song. "Echoes of Heroes"
Thank you for posting this song Scalpsie. I rem in my youth a friend who proudly told me he was friends with Clifford. I was in awe of his music....Memories abound. Love you channel and your expressive self. Keep shining your light, Peace Brother.
loved all his work for many years now have the vinal but this is so easy and when i go it will be on my bookmarks who knows someone may hear it who would otherwise never have found such a GEM of a songwriter
(before the sckly love songs, CdeB used to do songs about God & the devil playing chess for the souls of the dead - seriously good stuff. He also had a song called the Traveller)
What a gentle talented singer songwriter he was. He is missed so much by me and all his fans but he and his music will NEVER be forgotten thanks to Utube.R.I.P .Clifford.
wonderful just wonderful`clifford t will always be remembered with this beautiful tribute video thank you for making my day so long since i listened to this song
drunk but my daughter and i walked through garbally my old school tonight and its late but we both got wet feet and had such a wonderful laugh and its all because i heard the traveler today. good to feel like alive. saw the moon bright and trees so good to go back to nature we dont get to see that often. thanks clifford t
Wow .. great job with the video scalpsie ... I'd forgotten how good CTW was .. and this song ... timeless. And that cello, a masterpiece .. thank you for sharing this.
I listened to this guy about 6 years ago and fell in love with his music. I just had one record to go by and I loved his music. I'm happy to find it here.
Many thanks and so delighted that in some small way ...however small... it played a part in bringing peace and contentment to heart,mind and spirit.Thank you so much for your sincerity.Pax!
A UNIQUE and powerful message in song.. BEAUTIFULLY illustrated.. thanks so much, for sharing. There is NO doubt we are on the cusp of that Great Day of the Lord. It seems to be creeping nearer, with every passing moment, faster than ever before.. let's stay close.. and ALWAYS, PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER, and so much the more, "as (we) see the day approaching".
OH! So Beautiful, and so True! Thank you dear sweet sis Diane for this share of His Love! I'm truly blessed! Thanks Travers54 for this awesome post! I had to fav and give 5* God bless you both always in His Love!
Thankyou so much Travers for sharing this most beautiful video. Thankyou scalpsie for posting. 5***** A lovely,lovely video. Heart-touching. Be blessed.....Diane.
I stumbled across cliffs music quite accidently, I was clearing out a cupboard at a restaurant I was working at..Found Mantlepieces and Homethoghts on a double play cassette, I can honestly say I played that tape everyday whilst setting up..that was in 1992 and I was 19yrs old at the time..and this song was one of my favourites, it used to drive the chefs mad as the lady washerupper used to sing "Yes jesus loves you"...very badly....
Thankyou.
ps..Teacosy on mantlepieces is my al time favourite
What a lovely memory ... great to place yourself back in time. Many thanks for your comments and viewing. I'll let the song say the rest for me...Pax!
At the age of 17 i fisrt heard this song from my Elder brothers bedroom, and growing up in the early 70s i thought WTF going on here!!!
I honestly didn't know what to make of it ,but i always remembered singing the hymn at the end of the song in assembly at school, ...
Many many years down the line, the song is one of my Fav, the video in my humble opinion is one of your best , it is deep, funny and sends out a poignant message to the whole world.., well done mate ;)
Hi scalpsie... I still cannot believe that America was deprived of this great singer/songwriter... Thank you so very much for sending this along to me My Friend xoxo
Like always I really appreciate your views and thoughts ...always sincere and heartfelt...ah school days...!!!Keep enjoying Davemor and keep rocking!! All the best, Pax and friendship!
This song appears on the "Home Thoughts album". A lovely story well written, sung and produced by the master ....CLIFFORD T WARD. Sounds great even in 2008 .... Well done Cliff .... we all love you!
You have made my day....What a great video to go with a great song from an even greater songwriter. I'm quite sure Clifford would be so proud to see this...Well done and once again that you for posting. Homethoughts (Pat Carlow).xx
listen to this on an old tape of home thoughts from abroad, great memories, good video regards
