      Knights in white satin, never reaching the end.
      Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
      Both lines refer to a letter of unrequited love, with the Knight (the letter) not completing it's journey. Probably one of the finest verses ever put to a song with the little extra ambiguity of using the homonym of "Nights" rather than Knights,

      Yes and this flautist did an amazing job. Personally I think the flute is purposefully the dominant instrument as it represents Carrie's spirit, the woman he is lamenting. Forever Autumn works fine as a stand alone song. It is just more impactful not to mention integral as part of Jeff Wayne's telling of War of the Worlds.

    As Justin said he usually didn't record other people's material, but in this case, to his surprise, it worked out wonderfully. The lyrics are sad and reflective. It's Justin's voice that fuels the emotions in this beautiful ballad. When I first heard this tearjerker of a tune in 1978, I thought it was an original by the Moody Blues because it was their style. It peaked at #5 in the UK. This song chokes me up whenever I hear it. I think of loved ones who are no longer here. Ty, JH.

      When I was growing up n the sixties, the name Justin was almost unheard of here, and my schoolmates were perplexed and amused by it; I never met anyone who shared the same name until I was 19 or 20. So it was a big lift for me when Justin Hayward not only appeared on the scene as the lead singer of a successful band, but also happened to be a cool dude with a fantastic voice! Fast forward to today and while it’s still distinctive, there are a lot more of us around; but the majority are considerably younger than me because the name suddenly became fashionable when I was already in my twenties! I wouldn’t change it for anything.

    Justin's little band is perfect for him. They are perfect together. I love this song, but it is so sad. He sounds great. He never ages and he has a wonderful voice. Thank you for listing this. I was ill and could not go to his gig when he visited my town. I have never missed a show since he started touring with this band. Dang!

    I had the opportunity to see Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues over 15 years ago. Regrettably (yet thankfully), it was the first and only time I saw them in concert, especially since they were my favorite group when I was in high school (late 60's/early 70's). On another note, a year ago I had the privilege to see/hear Tommy Emmanuel... and with him - Mike Dawes. It made me smile when I recognized him in this video with Justin Hayward.

    this song meant so much to me, as it came out just after my closest aunt died four days before my 18th birthday...this song was so fitting of her and how I felt. I saw the Moody Blues in concert and kept screaming out, Forever Autumn. I wondered if Justin heard me, if he thought, who is that nut. (: They didn't sing it, it wasn't part of their repertoire. Such a movingl song and mood~

    I heard this as a fresh faced and naive 17 year old and it brought tears to my eyes, as though I knew it was and would be a song that would forever be a tune that would create a new and long lasting memory of a forgotten love to mind. Here I am at the age of 63 and it still strikes a chord and takes me back to the late 70's and a red headed girl who escaped my love and even now, a massive regret of loss and sadness, but the song still has resonance. Thank you.
