Good Thursday morning to you my Brothers and Sisters in Arms! A big day for me today as I am picking up my new lease SUV this afternoon... but before all of that, I bring you another "Music Interlude"!

For my first song, I selected a great one by the "Moody Blues" titled "Forever Autumn"! I chose this song as on September 22nd, Summer officially ends and we enter the "Autumn" season... This song takes us through the Autumn season, but the music story deals with a man who leaves Summer, enters Autumn, and the woman he loves is not there with him...

About "Forever Autumn":
" "Forever Autumn" is a song written by Jeff Wayne, Gary Osborne and Paul Vigrass, and sung by Justin Hayward. 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'". Hayward remembers being contacted: "Jeff Wayne called me up and asked me if I was the guy who sang "Nights In White Satin" and I told him 'Yes, I might have done that one!' He had the music and the lyrics and I went into the studio and recorded it in a day." It was recorded at London's Advision Studios in 1976." Read more at Wikipedia.com.

I hope you enjoy the song!
