'Congratulations' was a global hit as it became a much bigger hit than 'La, La, La', which beat Cliff in the 1968 Eurovision song contest. Shortly after 'Congratulations', which was one of his solo efforts, Cliff recorded his last single with The Shadows. Again in 1973, with 'Power to All Our Friends', he entered the Eurovision song contest--this time reaching 3rd place.
The most sold artist in British Pop history - with over 40 top hits.
Worked with Stock Aitken Waterman in 1989 and the single "I Just Don't Have The Heart".
Sixty appearances at Wembley, plus sellout tour to celebrate 50 years in the business.
First hit: Move It, 1958, first no. 1: Living Doll
As big as he is in the UK, he has only had 3 Top 10 hits in the USA with the biggest still being his breakthrough 1976 single "Devil Woman" which made it all the way to #6.
Has also worked with Elton John, Mark Knopfler, Julian Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Stevie Wonder, Phil Everly, Janet Jackson, Sheila Walsh, Van Morrison, and Olivia Newton-John.
All at Once
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all at once, there's blossom on each tree.
It's so thrilling and so new to me,
this enchantment that you do to me
and forever in your spell I'll be.
All at once, my doubts and fears are past.
I thought I was fancy-free, till I felt this magic glow.
Now, it's you for me and all at once I know.
All at once, my doubts and fears are past.
I feel as though I've come back home at last.
I thought I was fancy-free, till I felt this magic glow.
Now, it's you for me and all at once I know.
The lyrics of the song "All at Once" by Cliff Richard can be interpreted as a narrative of a person who has found love unexpectedly. The song describes how the realization of finding love happens all at once, where everything falls into place, and life becomes complete. As the title suggests, the lyrics convey that the feeling of love and happiness can happen rapidly like a wave.
The first stanza of the song suggests that everything in life has changed for the better. The blossoming trees used as a metaphor for love symbolizes the freshness and newness of love that has come their way. The second verse says that the singer's doubts and fears have vanished, and they feel like they have come home. All the uncertainties and fears that were present in life are now gone, as the love they have found has given them a sense of security and belonging that they have been longing for.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of finding love and knowing that it is the one. The final lines, "all at once I know," emphasize that this love has come suddenly and unexpectedly, yet it feels so right.
The song conveys the idea that love can come unexpectedly, but once found, it brings joy, assurance, and a sense of completeness. The lyrics show the listener that sometimes all it takes is one moment to change their life forever.
