JUSTIN HAYWARD(MOODY BLUES) FOREVER AUTUMN REACTION-First time hearing 

Sorry guys.i was misled on this.I found this video and it said MOODY BLUES 😭😭 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0K2b5S3bafM.html

In 2000, I had this played at my son's burial , 24 years later it still brings a tear to my eye

This is in fact Justin Hayward (the Moody's lead vocalist) and comes from Jeff Wayne's incredible 'War of the Worlds' from the late 70s. Check it out, Harri, you won't be disappointed but yes, this song is heartbreaking.

RIP Graeme Edge. We are losing too many of the great ones!

We lost Graeme Edge this past week R.I.P.

Don't apologise Harri. Justin is the voice of the Moody blues. This song means even more in the context of Wayne's war of the worlds concept album. That instrument is a Moog synthesizer.👍👍👍👍

I tell ya what, I will be 65 in a few months I miss all the great bands and songs growing up with love and hope and peace. This song always brings a tear to my eyes like many other's do! Lovely Song!

Yes I consider it one of the most beautiful songs ever written. :Nobody ever reacts to it, even though Moody Blues fans keep requesting it. You're the first one I've seen. Congratulations. This is such a beautiful sentimental song about love and loss. I can always count on you to react to all of my favorite sad love songs. Not technically a Moody Blues song, but a Solo project.

There's nobody that can create a more haunting love ballad then Juston Hayward.

I remember Justin commenting that Jeff actually wrote this song totally for his voice: the right key, even the shapes of the words singing them, enabling him to bring just the right emotion to absolute fruition. God bless Jeff Wayne for such a masterpiece, and picking the absolute right singer to put it across.

Wow - what a song to play just today after the death of Graeme Edge. Beautiful indeed.

Justin is so underated except by those who know. Best guitarist, singer, great person, great artist. There are so manysongs. His voice is still the same.

Justin Hayward is a great singer and often overlooked. Harri, you need to bust out some Moodies because I think you will enjoy the emotion they convey. Try "You Can Never Go Home" or "Ride My See Saw". Never Comes The Day". Thanks for the tune, I can always listen to Justin. ✌

Jeff Wayne's 'War of the Worlds' album was a bit of a giant-killer when it came out. I have a vivid memory of listening to this on a tinny radio on holiday in Weymouth as a child and wishing it sounded quite as 'widescreen' as it did on record. Justin Hayward has performed it around the world and confessed his gratitude to the song for immortalizing him in the minds of music lovers - despite the fact he didn't write it. As one of Britain's most underrated songwriters of his kind, it's quite a statement.

The Moody Blues music is etched into my DNA. It’s so beautiful. 🌺✌️

Jeff Wayne wrote "Forever Autumn" for his "Musical Version of The War of the Worlds" album. Jeff said he wanted the same voice that sang "Nights in White Satin" to perform it. The PERFECT choice!

Justin Hayward has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. He is the voice of the Moody Blues. I've been a fan since he joined the band in 1966 releasing, Days Of Future Passed, in 1967. They have never put out a bad album. You really need to listen to all of them.

My beloved mother passed away on Oct 17th a few years ago. I listened to this constantly during that time, and it will forever remind me of her

I lost my husband on September 30th, 16 years ago, he was only 48 so it was pretty traumatic. I agree with your reaction, lyrics are so sad but yet the song itself is so beautiful. Deep in my heart it's still forever Autumn. I haven't heard this in a long long time, so the tears came freely. 💔

RIP Graeme Edge

Harry, Justin Hayward is a great singer songwriter any song from The Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn album. songs New Horizons, Land of make Believe, You and Me & I'm Just a Singer in a rock n roil band It's one of their best albums.

Harri, could you do a commemoration for MB’s drummer Graeme Edge who passed a couple of days ago ? He wrote their epic song “Higher and Higher” - that would be a perfect send off.

Justin's is the voice of the Moody Blues. Angelic. This song always tears me up, now that most of my loves have departed this earth, sadly. Thanks for sharing and responding so tenderly. The Denmark orchestra should tackle this one. You're right.

Justin Hayward has got such a great voice, always loved this band!

As others have said, this isn't the Moody Blues. It's just Justin Hayward. It was written by Jeff Wayne for his musical version of The War of The World's. The lyrics depict part of the story where the main character has lost his partner Carrie amongst the mass exodus of people running from the alien invasion.

Moody Blues is a treasure trove of wonderful songs...

It's a song for everyone. We've all experienced someone "not here."

I was brought up on the Moody Blues who were my favourite band, seen them live a few times. My son who died 8 years ago aged 37 was named after Justin Hayward and this song was played at his funeral. I both love and feel very sad when I hear this, for my son I miss you so much, love dad xxx

Moody Blues, other suggestions. - Isn't life strange. - For my Lady. - Questions. - You and me. - Never comes the day.. they have got a large back catalogue and it's all pretty good.

"Through autumn's golden gown, we use to kick our way" I love that lyric..I'm doing that now while I walk the dog every morning...the colours on the leaves are amazing this year. The War of the Worlds is touring in the UK next year too.

First time I've listened to this beautiful song since my father's passing almost two years ago. The tears are flowing. Thank you, Harri.

You’re forgiven, easy to do. We played this at my mothers funeral. It is such a beautiful song dealing with grief.

It’s worth checking out a few versions of Justin playing this , solo and with other bands. Justin had one of the best voices of the 70s, & he can still sing and play!

Justin made this song his own, always remember hearing it on the radio on holiday on the Norfolk coast in late 70's, timeless with marvellous arrangements.

No words can adequately describe the Moodys.

It is definitely worth going down the Moody Blues catalogue. Many gems - Question, Isn't Life strange, I'm just A Singer ..., Tuesday Afternoon keeps on going!

One of my very favorite songs ever. Justin out shines even himself. Thank you Harri.

Check out The Moodies live @ RedRocks. R.I.P. Graham Edge

I think this is Justin Hayward. And it does sound "Moody Blues." I remember when this came out, I bought it, but can't remember if it was album. But I fell in love with it.

I still get the chills by the end of the second line.

Written for the foreboding of an upcoming alien invasion, aka War of the Worlds, which makes it even more haunting. God bless, Justin and Jeff.

There's a kind of beauty in sadness that can't be found anywhere els.

I can hear Richard Burton's voice

Another great reaction Harri! I am enjoying your Moody Blues reactions and your appreciation of their music!

Such a sad and beautiful song. If you don't listen to the lyrics you would think it is a happy song. Great analysis Harri!

I played this song at my wife’s funeral. It spoke so perfectly to me. Thank you, Harri, for putting into words all of the feelings that I felt.

Every time I listen to this song I get a tear that runs down my cheeks! Beautiful song!

They are my absolute favorite band You should know that this is a Justin Hayward solo project. (not that I doubt for 1 second that is Ray Thomas' flute work)... but I love them. Rest In Peace, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge. You are sorley missed. ❤️

This is such a beautiful song. I have always loved it. Thanks for choosing to react.

Harri, you have excellent taste in mudic! Justin Hayward is brilliant, and a fabulous musician, songwriter, guitarist and his voive is angelic!! Still gives an amazing live performance!! RIP to Graeme Edge.

The Moodiest ran the gamut of styles with superb musicians and among the best leading vocalist of rock, pop history!A whole bunch of hits with seven brilliant top selling albums in their first seen or eight years!

An awesome tune with perfect vocals by Justin.

I saw the Moody blues live many times & once with an orchestra . They have so many beautiful incredible songs . I would also Highly recommend Justin Hayward / John Lodges Album-" Blue Jays" many songs also with an orchestra it's great from start to finish

YES, this song is amazing! Achingly beautiful. I saw the Moody Blues at the Greek Theater and Justin sneaked Forever Autumn into the lineup. I was so wonderfully surprised to hear it live. There is another song you will love that makes me cry it's so beautiful. It's is called "I Dreamed Last Night" and it is on the Blue Jays album, which was a collaboration between Justin Hayward and John Lodge of the Moody Blues, so it sounds like a MB song. They did an album together when the MBs took a break. Justin did several solo albums. I highly recommend the song "Broken Dreams". Dear Lord that song is magnificent. It's okay to throw these into your Moody Blues rabbit hole now that you know the difference.

Harri, you should listen to the long cut of "Tuesday Afternoon" ! Always do the long cut, you'll be glad you did! Great reaction!

One thing i love about the Moody Blues is i can listen to them over and over and get something new each time.

Thank you for your very sympathetic and insightful comments about this beautiful song, Harri. I'm so glad you are enjoying the Moody Blues' music and will be listening to and reviewing more songs by them. They really were an amazing band. They were not the most well-known band because they let the music speak for them instead of promoting themselves as individuals. Like a hidden gem one had to seek them out, but it was well worth it. One other thing about them. They were amazing live! I saw them over a dozen times and they were able to recreate their complex music on stage. An unforgettable experience.

Great song choice, Harri. The Moody Blues have always been one of my favorite classic rock groups. Many, many great songs. I've seen them in concert 4 times.

This is Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues but without the Moody Blues. This is Justin solo from the double album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War Of The Worlds from the 1970's and also featured, among others, David Essex and the late, great Richard Burton in the lead role. A fantastic album, by the way and worthy of an album review!

Certainly chase up more Moodies greats and pay particular attention to the drumming…at the moment as a tribute to the passing of Graeme, the drummer two days ago.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO BE A HUNDRED/ WATCHING AND WAITING! Pure MAGIC!

I bought the single back in the day. Amazing song

I’m a 50 year concert producer and remember when they came to America! Understated, underrated with no pictures of the band on the covers..Art. When listening to the music you don’t want to see the boys next door, since they pull you into a magical world and you don’t want to leave!

The genius that is Justin Hayward. I love this song. Love, love, love it! Thanks for this reaction.

I lost my wife a little over a year ago. This reminds me of Her. She loved the Autumn. And we met the year this was written.

The moody blues are excellent composers... I love all their music!

I think I saw them on this tour . They are in a class of bands that were fantastic live.

would love to see/hear your reactions to a full Moodies album.....

I love, love, love this song! I know that it was really Justin Hayward’s song and to me the most beautiful one!

Moody Blues makes only beautiful music! This song is wonderful!

The Moody Blues have got such a tremendous body of work to delve into. I suggest that you react to one of their hits every few days! You'll have lots of songs to choose from, let me tell you!

encapsulates "loss" so well! great song great reaction harri!! ; )

My husband knew Justin Hayward and he's a great guy. My son is named Graeme after the drummer.

Great Music never dies!!

Oooh, laaaaah

This song in the musical "War of the Worlds" is used when the main character is fleeing towards London and he has lost his girlfriend, he thinks she is dead at this point. The words fit so perfectly for anyone who has lost someone forever, someone who owned their heart and soul. About 2 years after coming down with a life altering disease that has pretty much locked me into living out of my bedroom 95% of the time my wife decided she could not handle the 180 degree change and asked me to move out... It has been gut wrenching, but thankfully there is beauty in this world such as this song and the live performance of "Whiter Shade of Pale" with the Danish National Orchestra... Thank you for listening and reviewing this hidden gem of a song... I love your reviews and choices in your song picking. Another gorgeous, beautiful song is an orchestral cover of U2's "One" performed by Cinematic Pop feat. McKenna Beinholt (a 16 year old young lady who has such an angelic voice".

Such a beautiful song. Makes me reminisce about my younger years.

The entire War Of The Worlds album is a work of art.

I always get goose bumps when the strings start soaring to the stratosphere.

Thanks a lot! Love every solo album of Justin and concerning the other members, likewise

This song always hits me hard, especially at this time of year.

Also check out Blue Jays. It's Justin Hayward and John Lodge from the Moody Blues. The album came out in 1975.

Thank you Harri for this excellent reaction to one of my favorite bands. Moody Blues was my staple of beautiful and meaningful music. The flute is just gorgeous!!

Haunting. Moody. Bittersweet. It's the things that make a song move you emotionally.

God bless you Harri for your kind words. I am one of the people you spoke of who is in deep grief right now. I literally burst into tears over the words of this song. It's amazing how songs can heal or say the right things at the right time. Thank you.

I have loved the Moody Blues since late adolescence, somehow my late husband and I missed this vinyl (kids=no more record $) I'm loving it now, thanks Harri.

One of the best songs ever made

I visited a performance of War of the Worlds, by Jeff Wayne, over a decade ago, with a complete orchestra and Justin Hayward singing this song. Amazing. I noticed War of the Worlds would this year be performed again, but the concerts have been postponed. When you are lucky, maybe it will be performed somewhere near you soon.

Love your reaction! This is my favourite song of all time. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️

Love your reactions! I've watched several. Seems like the Moody Blues surprise and wow you every time? They are by far uniquely amazing, and all of their songs hold a special place in my heart. They remind me of listening to them as a youngster on cassette tape in my dads Chevy S-10 growing up. Great memories for me

one of my all time fave songs .. lovely

Great band,a band for grown ups.

This is for me truly one of the most amazing songs ever made. Can’t really put it in to words the emotions it provokes for me. I can recall it being played on the radio when I was a kid. Always reminds me of my parents. Nice review mate.

Hey Harri, you are so cool. Of all the FIRST TIME HEARING REACTIONS people I've seen on YOU TUBE, you are the most insightful. The part where you talk about the music getting faster and how it should, but doesn't lose it's emotive feeling. I've thought myself. I have also thought it sounds like it could be a Simon & Garfunkel song. So you've blown my mind. I also respect and admire your voice and your delivery. Very cool mate. I laugh and cry when my sports team win their Grand Final. The action on the Drummer's High Hat is sublime, so light and fluid. The Lead Guitar soars into the Stratosphere, taking the listener to a higher plain. I think it is very poignant.

Give that this song as it exists is included as part of the Moody Blues Greatest Hits, there is no need to apologize.

I just saw you react to "Question" and then this one popped up too - two of my favorite songs that one of the greatest voices in music shared with us all. I LOVE your reaction to them, and I think it says a lot about your own open heart that you can hear them the way you do. Thank you from a kindred spirit in the U.S. :)

I normally don't watch reaction channels, but I was sort of curious since this was the first time you heard a song that I consider one of the most beautiful ballads of all time. I think you did it justice.

Love your analysis, great lyrics, inspiration and musicianship.

By the way, I love this version of the song. It adds a lot to it. So beautiful!

R.I.P., co-founder and drummer Graeme Edge, if you're looking for some more reactions to cover in tribute; I highly recommend "Your Wildest Dreams: and the follow to that song "I Know Your Out There Somewhere", both rather fitting songs.
