Thank you. I researched Justin Hayward. And yes, it was him and not the Moody Blues. Though he was part of the Moody Blues.
Great song.
It’s on the Moody Blues greatest hits, so it’s okay. It was written by Jeff Wayne prior to Wayne’s composition of his War of the Worlds rock opera. Justin Hayward performed it and a few other great songs for that album, but it was later released without dialogue. It perfectly evokes the fall feeling.
I was going to say Forever Autumn, but I’ll switch to England Dan and John Ford Coley’s Where Do I Go From Here, which is very similar, thematically.
Also, Journey’s Stone In Love puts me in a fall mood. It talks about summer, but in a past way. Their Girl Can’t Help It also makes me think of cool nights with a full moon in the sky, but that’s probably more when I listened to it than anything intrinsic to the song.
