'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.
Never Mind
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never mind about your little white lies
Never mind about the way you cheat at me
But girl, I'll always love you, you will see
That I'll never love another than your caress
Never ever worry about all the rest
Never ever worry you can act untrue
Can you remember when you broke a date and nearly broke my heart
Can you remember how it feels when you're passing those remarks
Well, I've never, never, never, never ever mind
You carryin' on lying and you act unkind
If I tell you conselation, baby, you will find
It won't be me who's saying, never mind
Well, never mind about your big blue eyes
Never mind about your little white lies
Never mind about the way you cheat at me
But girl, I'll always love you, you will see
That I'll never love another than your caress
Never ever worry about all the rest
Never ever worry you can act untrue
'Cause baby, baby, baby, I'm in love with you
Can you remember when you broke a date and nearly broke my heart
Can you remember how it feels when you're passing those remarks
Well, I've never, never, never, never ever mind
You carryin' on lying and you act unkind
If I tell you conselation, baby, you will find
It won't be me who's saying, never mind
In this song, Cliff Richard is addressing his love interest, despite her flaws and shortcomings. He repeatedly tells her to nevermind her "big blue eyes" and "little white lies," suggesting that he is aware of her deceit yet chooses to overlook it because he loves her. He goes on to say that he will never love another as he loves her, implying that she holds a special place in his heart. The chorus is a repetition of the first verse, emphasizing the message of unconditional love.
The lyrics delve into the ups and downs of a relationship, including the heartbreak caused by a broken date and disparaging remarks. Despite these challenges, Richard remains devoted to his partner. He says that he is not bothered by her behavior and will not be the one saying "never mind" to her. This suggests that he is willing to forgive and forget, even if his partner does not reciprocate his loyalty.
Overall, the song is a declaration of love that embraces imperfections and acknowledges the difficulties of a relationship. It sends a message that true love is not about perfection but about acceptance and devotion.
