Justin Hayward - "Forever Autumn" (Live) 

How is this guy's voice still so clear and accurate? Unbelievable.

This was on of my husbands favorite songs. And yes, he absolutely loved fall. He passed away two years ago. Last November I arranged a memorial mass for him. At at the end of the mass the brilliant cantor and pianist sang/played this song. Everyone cried, especially me. Now, this song holds a blessed place in my heart. Thank you for lending your voice to this beautiful, blessed song. I cannot thank you enough. It means the world to me.

It doesn't get any better than this!

My son is named Justin. This man is why.

Any other child of the 70's here remembering a simpler time listening to the record?

My wife of 41 years passed on 10/12. As she was in hospice this song came on while I was listening to Justin Songs. I’ve heard it thousands of times. Took on a whole new meaning.

This is actually my favorite rendition of this song yet. So beautifully done. How is it possible that Justin still sounds the same, if not better, all these years later?

This song, so masterfully performed by Justin, always evokes such a melancholy feeling. Appropriate for this first day of autumn, especially this year.

That lady on the flute is amazing absolutely nailed it...

Thats all you need: Four amazingly talented musicians and one of the best songs that ever has been written.

This was my mother's favorite song. That single was played so often in my childhood. After my mom passed away in 2013, it was a while before I could even listen to it. But I LOVE this song!! Brings back some precious memories.

Absolute perfection. All the musicians deserve a standing ovation 👏

How can you not like Justin Hayward and his 🎶 music! It is music from the heart indeed! Thank you, Justin...

Forever Autumn conveys the seasonal feelings of change, reflection, and melancholy. It was a lucky day for him, for you, and for us. 🍂

Perfection. Choosing Justin Hayward to sing this song was pure genius.

So glad Justin was chosen to sing it!! ❤️ 🎶

...and he used his powers of wizardry for good; very good. Thank you for the pleasure, Justin. ❤️

Complete perfection, Justin! I feel so happy to have been in the audience. Thank you so much for sharing!

It's 2021. I have heard this many times before. Big strong man now crying.

I have been lucky to see Justin's solo show at least 5 or 6 times. It is an unbelievable experience to hear the voice, the music, & the magic of a live truly amazing performance. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

I had a feeling you were going to post this in time for the Autumnal Equinox. Another beautiful performance of one of my favorite songs.

Mr. Hayward, I am indebted to you and the Moody Blues. Thank you.

the dreamy voice of justin moody blue forever

What a Beautiful song. From a beautiful voice of Justin Hayward. I hope he keeps doing Tuesdays afternoons songs something to look forward to.Thank you.💕

I always remember kicking autumn leaves myself and this song would be in my head... This song could have been written by the man himself... So beautiful ❣️ 😊 😉

???? I'm blown away! That voice! All i can say.

I adore Justin Hayward's singing. Absolutely perfect.

Miss Karmen, the flutist, plays an important role in the whole song. The sound from the flute is the soul of Forever Autumn.

Wow, he still belts this out with all the mystery and melancholy as when I first heard it as a 15-year-old in 1978. I remember being captivated by the magical sadness of this piece. I would run it through my head as I ran cross country races through the golden gown of autumn.

beautiful

Couldn't have been more perfect.

Perfect for the first day of Autumn!

The perfect song for the first day of Fall. Thanks Justin- stay safe and we'll see you on the road soon.

I recall hearing this incredibly beautiful song on the radio as a teenager when I was vacationing down in Puerto Rico back in the late ‘70s. I wasn’t exactly fluent in Spanish but knew a wonderful piece of music when I heard it. Since then I have found and listen to the “War Of The Worlds” soundtrack in SACD 5.1 Surround Sound format which makes this song even more amazing. Well done, Justin...truly one of the somewhat unknown classics that I still love 40+ years later, especially at this time of year.

This is such a beautiful song. Justin's soothing voice with a melodic flute. Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks. On so many levels.

I'm a bit worried about the 3 viewers who gave it a thumbs down. Hard of hearing? That was so good, I'd say ethereal. Not one he wrote this time but it'll be forever his.

All these years later and this man still has it!

Had just started a trip back to college. As I poked around on the car radio, an all album station had this playing. What?! A Moody Blues song I didn’t know about!!?? Found out it was one of Justin’s contributions to Jeff’s War of the Worlds album. Took a while to find a shop that carried it. Most had never heard of it. ????? Pre internet. 🤷‍♂️ Incredible song. Brings a seasonal feeling, along with the haunting story behind the song as part of WOTW.

Justin’s voice ages like very fine wine. I’d waited half a century to be able to see him at concert in Capital Theater Clearwater FL Oct.15th 2021. I am 66 but my heart flutters for him like a teenager.

Miss my dad, I have fond memories of us listening to war of the worlds. And seeing the musical.

Always my favourite, a real treat to see live too

Thank you Mr Hayward, please come back to Australia. Sydney State Theatre, then I will fly to Melbourne for another beautiful Justin Hayward Concert. A privilege. Thank you. You got me through covid. I was set for the Blue cruise. Life kicks us side ways. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Your voice is haunting. cheers from Australia

I remember one of my friends giving me a cassette copy of War of the Worlds... I said WTF is this? He said... just listen to it. And listen I did! What a fantastic recording with this song stand head and shoulders above the rest... I could not thank him enough then and thank him again now... Thanks Raul! Where ever you may be!

His voice has aged like a fine wine. Only getting better.

She is a really beautiful flute player, she plays it really really well. Lovely to listen to.

This was a collab that stands the test of time! Autumn time is here...

A true gift. Karmen's flute playing is perfection. Thank you Justin and I hope next year's tour happens.

Forever Autumn and eve of the war were two of the most amazing tracks of the late 70s. A amazing time to be Alive. A different but most beautiful era of music and mindset of people.. Money wasn't the most important thing in people's lifes.

I have heard this song hundreds of times. Watching this moved me to tears. When I saw the title I knew it would be good, but was not expecting this.

This was released the year my daughter was born, first saw the Moody Blues at Leeds unit in 1970. There again in 1973. Saw Justin perform Forever Autumn during the War of the Worlds at Leeds Arena last night, (3rd April) as part of my daughters 44th birthday celebrations. We had a fabulous evening. Thank you - we loved it!

Perfect timing as autumn begins today! I absolutely love these Tuesday afternoon videos. Please keep them coming.

Kudos to the max for this 'stingy' version of the song. I mean, nothing superfluous is present. And, nothing is wasted. All of the most important parts are still there, with so few musicians. Ad in paper: "Musician seeks flute and keyboard players with exquisite vocal ability, especially for harmony singing, to make a music video. Attractive blonde females with a dance background paid extra". I cant believe Justin Hayward is 77 years old. Different subject: Growing up in Ohio, the fall was very special to me. The colors, the smells, the promise of first winter snow in the air when the clouds hung low, and a chill hit your skin in that familiar way. You really don't miss some things until they're gone.

That is just so stunningly beautiful... goosebumps, and damned-near tears...

I can't believe this only has 55,000 views, absolutely spectacular performance....doesn't get any better than that

I have two kids first was a daughter and was hoping our second was a son and was and named him Justin and middle name Hayward after my favorite singer and performer. Thanks for all the great memories Justin and The Moody Blues.

What a voice! And still handsome as ever! Saw you at Sun City, South Africa in 1995, fourth row from the front. Unforgettable! Thank you for still singing!

Wow - the man will be 80 in just six years - and STILL he has that magnificent voice! And this four-piece band perfectly captures the beauty of the original. The Moodies were a band that my appreciation for their stunning albums has grown ever greater over time!

Beautiful, Keep the music coming

How appropriate to post this on the first day of fall! 🍁🍃🍁🌾🍁 Enjoying your concert series, Justin. Thank you from a long time fan! 💙

Going to see Justin on Tuesday at Bury St Edmunds in the UK. I've always loved this song and can quite understand how it can reduce a person to tears. Probably one of the most beautiful and emotional songs ever written.

I first heard this on the radio in 1979 or 1980, while I was in college at NYU. I quickly ran over to one of the local record stores and bought the War of the Worlds vinyl, and have played it to death ever since. Thanks for a gorgeous performance of one of my all-time favorite songs!

Dear Justin... You are a part of my youth... I grow up with this song.. A very poor guy with no money to buy vinyl.. But I got the WOTW Album. Listened 1000 times and also made my son in his early years to love this album. Bothe of us are now successful people. Still know where it comes from.

Justin, you are as good as ever, maybe even better. Keep it going, love listening and watching you sing.

Thank you Justin for Forever Autumn my favourite of all your wonderful songs

I wish it would stay Forever Autumn 🍂

Absolutely fantastic all these years after the album was released, and the Flauntiest has to have a mention as that sound is magical.................Great video loved it.

Love theMoody Blues and i love thisTuesday series of songs. Beautiful music that Soothes the Soul

A beautiful song sung by a beautiful soul. I never tire of his voice.

Justin is one of very few people I consider one of our living musical geniuses!

Thank you for this truly beautiful song with Karmen, Mike and Julie. Loving your Tuesday afternoons. So lucky to have seen your concert in Edinburgh a year ago .

Saw The Moody Blues live at Radio City Music Hall in 2005. What a concert. The Moody Blues are my favorite band next to The Beatles. Long Live The Moodies.

Still absolutely captivating. One of the greatest voices ever to grace my ears.

Absolute fabulous tune and WOTW is my fave CD of all time. Got to chat with Jeff after one of the shows. Rock on King Justin

Never heard, or saw this performance before… So beautiful…

thanks for doing this series, justin. your band was a big part of my teenage years.... a great part.

Just beautiful, I love this!! Justin is amazing. And Mike Dawes is an incredible musician in his own right.

Timeless.....universal appeal!

Thanks again for these Justin it’s a few minutes of wonderful nostalgia. Hopefully you can tour again soon.

This is one of the most beautiful songs. ❤

Heard Justin sing this last year as part of Jeff Wayne's war of the world Amazing

This was always my favourite track from the war of the worlds. Sitting in my family's front room playing the record over and over!

I leaned to love music, listening your music.

Reminds me of my auntie clare who died 01.02.23 makes me cry everything I hear the words are amazing

Oh My! Justin Hayward and The Moody Blues will be forever and always one of my favorite bands! Their music is poetry to the ears, and peace to the soul. I have had the privilege of seeing them concert twice in my lifetime, and their music is TIMELESS! God Bless.

What a beautiful vocalist you are Justin. Thank you for a half decade of beautiful songs.

Saw the same band last night the sound was brill and i love this song, he sounds great for a 77 year old it was a wonderful evening.

Justin is now in his 70s his vocals are as crisp as ever. I watched and listened to a 1978 performance right before this and Justin's voice is just as beautiful as it was then! Pure beauty!! ✌🎤💙😍

LOVE the Moody Blues

More excellence. Great musicians. Thank you all. Been a fan of Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues since 1971.

Great song Justin. My wife and my favorite time of year and if I lose my love of 46 years to the unforeseen this is what I would play. Moody Blues my favorite Band forever!

I love this song, this was my introduction to Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues. I got to see him live in two two in Brighton and was so disappointed that he left the stage so soon. ❤️

How many times we cried, how many time our faces got wet, how many times we imagined deeply what would happen if we miss loved ones and listen to this song , how many times???

This is my favorite song that Justin sings. My late partner Alanna took her own life in August 8 years ago. We were both Moody fans

Will never forget this. Amazing stage show with Justin outstanding. I was here.

Thank you for sharing this performance with us. I was fortunate to see you perform once with The Moody Blues. The thrill of my life. Happy Autumn.

Justin, this is far and above my all time favourite song. it is achingly beautiful, and reaches deep down. I am also a huge fan of Nights in white satin, and Blue guitar. all the very best to you, and thank you!

I love hearing this song today. It was so perfect and totally enjoyed it! Thank you so much for including it today!

It truly helps that Forever Autumn is the greatest song of forlorn love ever written.

My wife passed away at a young age and this song always brings tears to my eyes she used to to love the fall
