This was a request for Eddie fendermz. Hope you like it Eddie !
"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. Their interpretation was also released as a single and gained moderate commercial success in Japan, selling more than 100,000 copies and becoming a top-20 hit on the country's record chart.
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. Wayne chose Hayward, of The Moody Blues, to sing it saying that he "wanted that voice from 'Nights in White Satin'". It was recorded at London's Advision Studios in 1976. The song reached 5 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1978.
Played on my Fender Custom Stratocaster 56NOS fitted with Kinman Impersonator 54 v3 pickups through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-36.
Sound recorded in Cubase SX6.
There were 2 guitar parts at the end and I used a Boss OS-2 Overdrive distortion pedal for these parts.
The Cubase sound edited with the three 4K video takes in Sony Vegas pro 14

Lyrics
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Loose fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
Cos you're not here x 3
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
Cos you're not here x 6
