Clifford T Ward - Gaye
Loading...
Uploaded by ianabroad on Jul 5, 2008
One Day Clifford T Ward will be mentioned in the same breath as Rupert Brook and Dylan Thomas for he is as quintisentially British and poetic as they were. Like them too his life is tinged with the great sadness of unfullfilled promise and was ended far too soon.
He was loved.
This song Gaye marks the first time he came to the attention of the masses. It's a beautiful song but by no means his best.
In a Nationwide BBC poll of the best British songs of the past 50 years his song "Home Thoughts from Abroad" came in at Number 4! Amazing when you realise that it wasn't even a hit single, all the more amazing when you realise how relatively undiscovered he still remains.

Lovely words in your description, Clifford really was top class, in words & music,

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......

You're the tray of nice things I upset Yesterday...
The mainstay of my dreams that I let slip away. What words to tell someone you love them. Thanks Clifford RIP.
