“Forever Autumn” is the fourth track from Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds (1978), a progressive rock concept album based on the novel by H.G. Wells. Sung by Justin Hayward, lead vocalist of The Moody Blues, the song is one of the most recognizable and emotionally resonant pieces of the album. It captures a moment of personal grief within the broader narrative of alien invasion, and it has enjoyed enduring popularity as a standalone ballad.
