Justin Hayward - Forever Autumn (1978) [with lyrics on screen]

Justin Hayward, born 14 October 1946 is an English musician, best known as singer, songwriter and lead singer and guitarist in the rock band The Moody Blues. “Forever Autumn“ is a song written by Jeff Wayne, Gary Osborne and Paul Vigrass. The original melody was written by Wayne in 1969 as a jingle for a Lego commercial. Vigrass and Osborne, the performers of the original jingle, added lyrics to the song and recorded it for inclusion on their 1972 album Queues. The best-known version is the recording by Justin Hayward from the album Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. Wayne wanted to include a love song on the album that sounded like “Forever Autumn“, and he decided that the best course of action was to simply use the original song.
