Hello everyone - we were so gratified by the response of those who viewed and enjoyed Justin's wonderful performance that we uploaded a second Justin Hayward concert from October 2021, including 4 videos from Mike Dawes solo as the warmup act. . Here is the link for Forever Autumn from that concert. ua-cam.com/video/wyzjDU2tios/v-deo.html
@@JustinHayward-su1ww Good morning Justin -- congratulations to you on your beautiful voice, continued success and wonderful band!!! We have footage from four different concert venues of your sets! Thank you!!
@@JustinHayward-su1ww We are at work - would you like us to send the links for the videos to your instagram address? If so, we can do that tonight or over the holiday (at least in the US) weekend. It would be our pleasure...
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,
I have a lump in my throat just hearing the onset of the song. At his young age of 76 his voice is absolutely beautiful and his guitar playing is still immaculate
We were able to record a different Justin Hayward performance of Forever Autumn on his birthday; if you are interested in seeing (and comparing) here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/wyzjDU2tios/v-deo.html
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.
Seeing this live is amazing. I thought it was too difficult to perform. Justin’s voice is simply out of this world. The flute work is just crazy and the music is sensational. How he does this song live is mind boggling. Just sensational.
This reminds me of my dear dad, who died in 1987 aged 50, I am now 55, and everytime I hear this I just want to curl up and cry, sometimes I do, and am not ashamed to admit it, I just miss his wisdom and love .
My wifes favourite artist and favourite song: she always maintained that this was a love ballad inside the context of the War of the Worlds and outside. She died 2 1/2 years ago ... I am prone to believe her.
I lost a daughter of 42 a few yrs ago Yr half after a son of 32 I buried them together never to be apart with the words on the headstone my life will be forever autumn cause your not here
This song always brings tears to my eyes and l’m 63 and approaching the autumn of my life. Seems such a long time ago when I first heard this beautiful song.
Ditto. Experiencing this gift randomly on a difficult Thursday evening, was very moving. Bless all those who have given so much to us all through their talent in music!
I listened to the moody blues whilst tripping over guy ropes trying to find me tent at the Hendrix, Isle of Wight festival... cheers ... this is a cracker by Justin though ...
Saw them once at The Royal Albert just after I was widowed in 1979. They commenced with their "Forever Autumn" track - part of which is carved onto my late wife's headstone.
I saw them 72 I think in Southampton, I was blown away, bought all their albums, then I bought the Geoff Wayne DVD War of the Worlds, with Justin on featured on that, great music!
😥😥😥absolutely beautiful...how can anybody forget these songs... This is why God created music How is life not having purpose if you hear this... Bravo !!!! People like these gives hope as music unites Listening here on a Sunday 31 Dec 2023 in South Africa... God bless you all people🙏🙌
@@glenndavid8725 When someone is ignorant, without insight or knowledge you must be careful to comment or question without facts... Gods no1 Hits you ask? You ask the wrong question You should ask "Tell me where did God create music...where does it show God has anything to do with music..." Let me enlighten you although it will go our your head forsure.. Job 38:7: "The morning stars sang together" Job 35:10: "God my maker, who giveth songs in the night" Psalm 40:3: "He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God" Now let me entertain your ignorance with regards to Gods No1 Hits 1. I woke up in the morning and the birds, without any knowledge of music notes or care who wants to listen, start singing or if it will hit no.1 on the charts... 2. As I stand on a plane in South Africa I hear the and see the storm coming..loud thunder and rumbling that no drummer can match its descibels as it rolls over the hills and valleys 3. Rain on a roof, a waterfall in full force... 4.The roaring of a lion or hail on a roof. 5. The drip of a drop in a bucket. 6. The gallop of wildebeest over a plane 7. The sounds of deep space where gas expands and ignite..implode and explode.. 8.The call of a fisheagle over a lake or a whale in the deep 9. laughter of a hyena............ Itsbut a few of Gods Hits...but you will not grasp the concept.... No you have Anosognosia...( go look it up you might learn something) ignorant, unperceptive, undiscerning. unobservant being to ask if God ever had a no1 hit We mimic everything in nature God created.. He does not need a hit He is the Hit. Think about it......we have to buy or vote to get a person recognition for a song We as mere mortals has to put people on the number 1 spot... They cannot do it be themselves... If we do not buy a musician will stay lock in a room playing its own melodies on instruments copied from nature... Anyway let me save my energy and give reward where reward is due.. The Godly Gift of music which a few have embraced and make our life a better place as they uhm and ahh over the radio waves. But you, you need to take a look deep inside yourself as the Word of God says, They live , they die without knowledge or insight...useless, wasting away embracing their own miserable small world where they can control the vapour THEY, like You call existense. Ps... I was already born when War of the World album came out...where you? Or are you according to your profile photo, hold on to an image as its what you can control while the rest of us, well....
I remember when I was babysitting and the kids had gone to bed. The man of the house said I could listen to his stereo through headphones. I found War of the Worlds in his collection. Scared the life out of me when the cylinder unscrewed. Thought there was something wrong with the kettle! Brilliant album. Stunning artwork. Justin's singing is brilliant.
A weeper. Gorgeous. Simply lovely. 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.
I have temporarily forgotten just how beautiful this song is! I’ve always loved the Moody Blues and consider myself privileged to have grown up listening to them!❤
My good friend died in 2021 and this was played at his funeral he almost made 70 but his life was cut short . But we all still miss him . We have all shed a tear or two and still do at times.. RIP Chris .
Justin's voice is timeless and is PERFECT for Jeff's outstanding musical War of The Worlds. I have seen the show and MET Jeff in person - this song ALWAYS makes my spine tingle. I met my first girlfriend smooching to 'Knights in White Satin'. I would love to see Justin play live! I have played WOTW so much I have lost count of the times. I also happened to LIVE near to Horsell Common................eerie...............was that a whoosh and an explosion? OOOH - LAAAAAAHHHH What a SUPERB little band he has now AMAZING FLAUTIST!!
I'm 74 and remember Knights in White Satin from my schooldays but Forever Autumn is the most haunting melody ever written and will forever remind me of my late wife. Performed beautifully here. Thank You for the memories.
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.
I have been a Moody Blues fan since I maybe 13 years old! I am 71 now. Justin has always been my favorite. I was lucky enough to see them in Medford Oregon,back in the early nineties,great show! I will never forget it. Thank you Justin ! Thank you Moody Blues ! ❤👍👏😁
As a teen, I used to see them regularly in Birmingham, UK, my home town, What a time it was! Moody Blues, Spencer Davis Group and The Move all played the local clubs back then.
I saw Jeff Wayne's live version of War of the world's several years ago in Melbourne and Justin sang this as it was meant then, and still bloody great in 2023. I even still have the album from the late 70's, barely any change after 40+years. Forever awesome Justin, great job mate👍👍
Justin’s voice is as soulful as ever! I’ve loved his voice and spectacular guitar playing since I was in my 20s which was a very long time ago. Thanks for the memories. ❤
I'm now 74 have loved Justin's songs from day one I had the vile experience of putting my two adult children to rest they are resting together brother and sister I had on the double headstone my life will be forever autumn cause your not here x
The night before I left for Navy boot camp, in 1984, my best friends took me to a Moody Blues concert at the Greek Theater in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. What a concert! I have always loved them and his voice!
@@JustinLegsHayward Yes. I have read interviews you gave some years ago to magazines, I assume were in the United Kingdom. Honest and humble very refreshing.
@@JustinLegsHayward I went out to our backyard to stargaze. Trying to locate a comet that is currently in line with the northern hemisphere. Are you in the United States?
He's a legend, along with the rest of the band they were musical pioneers when Stereo was taking a hold? So wonderful to hear his voice has stood the test of time as well ♥
Great voice great bloke...such a wholesome heart with nothing but good to say about everything and everyone. Gives me a perfect New Year feeling. Thank you Justin. Thank you.
What a beautiful song and I loved hearing the story behind it. Have loved Justin and the Moody's since the '60's and never let them go. I was lucky enough to see them in concert so many times that I lost count. Justin you still have a beautiful voice even after all these years. I'm 69 yrs old and I still have a signed Moody Blues Poster on my wall of their 25th Anniversary tour. It keeps me young and reminds me I am so lucky to have grown up in the best music era ever. ❤🎶🎵🎸 Keep it going Justin we love you.
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!
We all should be eternally grateful to that young lad who said "You oughta do that mate". Let's face it: the song, in and of itself, is brilliant, but Justin's voice takes it up, over, and beyond!
This song…made me cry every time I listened to it because I had just lost my dad, and Autumn is my favorite time of year. It’s an absolutely beautiful song, perfectly sung and performed, and now I can listen to it without getting weepy.
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.
Justin, thank you, thank you for bringing wonderful music into this world for almost 6 decades now. One of the most iconic voices in the history of pop music.
MY KIDS AND I RECENTLY SAW " JUSTIN HAYWARD " AT THE " VINE ROOM " IN PA ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND HE WAS AWESOME, 2 HOUR CONCERT, HIS VOICE IS STILL EVER SO CAPTIVATING AS IS HIS ENTIRE PERSONA !!!! WE ALL ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY AND THIS WOULD MAKE IT THE 3RD TIME I HAVE SEEN HIM, I DID'NT WANT THE NIGHT TO END !!!! GOD BLESSED JUSTIN WITH A BEAUTIFUL SOULFUL VOICE I CERTAINLY HOPE HE KNOWS WHO TO ALWAYS THANK & HONOR FOR HIS MANY BLESSINGS FOR WE DO NOT OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY FROM OUR CREATOR " GOD " ❤
The first day of Autumn and this pop's up on UA-cam I saw Justin perform this live Sept last year in the UK and he was awesome then as he is now singing this song with his solo band receiving standing ovations and long applauses...he's awesome. 🍁🍂🍁🍂👏👏👏👏👏
I was a DJ at an FM AOR station when this album came out. Had to pester the Music Director for days to add this tune. He finally relented and thanked me.
Fantastic - this song still sends shivers down my spine, as did the whole album on hearing it as a 9yr old in 1978, and sometimes I see huge green bulbous eyes peering through my window at night.
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.
Goosebumps, there are not enough superlatives for this example of genius performed in music, ranks high in my memory along with Melanie, the Strawbs and others. Thank you all for such haunting music.
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 remember seeing the War of the Worlds LP album when it first came out. I never heard any of the songs but I was fascinated by the concept of a musical version. I had the recording of HG wells radio broadcast and thought the musical version would be cool. I still enjoy the album to this day.
Brilliant, forever autumn still gives me shivers when i hear it. War of the worlds was the album that opened me up to music. Thank you Mr Patterson for playing it for us at school all those years ago.

How on earth has this guy kept his voice in check at his age? Simply remarkable. 👏
He's still got the pipes for sure
He's not playing night after night without breaks for 3 hours like McCartney and in an acoustic setting. Great vocals and talent.
He's kept his voice by singing....
I guess he keeps off alcohol, smoking and drugs
I believe that's true@@harryvanrijn6366
67 now I wish I could listen without tears falling from my eyes. Some of you will understand.
@stanf7862 I do.
right with you mate at 72
❤️
withyou....
I'm 67 also, tears and understanding x
Justin was so freaking beautiful in his early years! Also. I consider “Nights in White Satan” to be the most beautiful song ever written.
You mean Satin, not Satan
@@dannyphillips4768 Yes, if course
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,
This one,for me,though of course Knights is so melodic,and the message is melancholy,this one hits my heart.
@@dannyphillips4768you mean ‘of’ course 😂
I have a lump in my throat just hearing the onset of the song. At his young age of 76 his voice is absolutely beautiful and his guitar playing is still immaculate
He probably hasn't ruined his voice with various inappropriate chemicals. He also sounds like a low-stress guy, and that probably helps
Wow xx
Wow! His voice hasn’t changed a bit! So awesome!

Justin MB spiritual voice
Doesn’t everyone miss the artwork on the album sleeves of the mid sixties and seventies of so many of the bands of that era?❤
Its so true about the artwork on albums, i have ( In search of the lost chord ) framed in my living room and it’s always a talking point.
Indeed. None of the AI generated cr@p. Just sheer artistry.
Yes as said ,to have and to hold
Yes. TOTALLY
Roger Dean 😮
Justin never trashed his voice schreeching rock songs. Not his style. What a lovely song and man. Thanks Justin
That flute absolutely makes this song.
The flute is what resonates
@@paulineodonnell3163absolutely beautiful music.i love this song immensely,thank you all for this song ❤
Yes it does but that voice is amazing
I do!
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.
Seeing this live is amazing. I thought it was too difficult to perform. Justin’s voice is simply out of this world. The flute work is just crazy and the music is sensational. How he does this song live is mind boggling. Just sensational.
Ageless..haunting
He has a pure sublime voice...
You could say out of this world. Reminiscent of war of the worlds.
My wife died two years ago, this song is the one that breaks me every time I hear it. This live performance is just as powerful as the album version.
This reminds me of my dear dad, who died in 1987 aged 50, I am now 55, and everytime I hear this I just want to curl up and cry, sometimes I do, and am not ashamed to admit it, I just miss his wisdom and love .
My wifes favourite artist and favourite song: she always maintained that this was a love ballad inside the context of the War of the Worlds and outside. She died 2 1/2 years ago ... I am prone to believe her.
Do they still write songs like this anymore? Serious question.
God bless her 🙏
I lost a daughter of 42 a few yrs ago Yr half after a son of 32 I buried them together never to be apart with the words on the headstone my life will be forever autumn cause your not here
Good stuff. For those not familiar, Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds is an outstanding story album. Richard Burtons narration is superb!
Tom Cruise et al, a travesty
I have the entire performance on reel to reel from the early 80's and when played with full quadraphonic speakers it's spectacular.
We experienced it while in London. I knew everything was going to be okay once I heard Justin’s voice
I have the original on vinyl with superb artwork and al the lyrics 😍
@@Britabroad877 And the book?
What a marvelous talent … ❤love him & the Moody Blues forever ❤
One of the many many Moody Blues beautiful songs. Well done Justin. You sound exactly the same as when you first recorded this masterpiece.

@@JustinLegsHayward Good morning. How are you?
@@JustinLegsHayward I went out to our backyard to stargaze. Trying to locate a comet that is currently in line with the northern hemisphere. Are you in the United States?
@@JustinLegsHayward Hello. How are you today?
@@JustinLegsHayward Hello. Hope you are doing well 🙂.
He's a legend, along with the rest of the band they were musical pioneers when Stereo was taking a hold? So wonderful to hear his voice has stood the test of time as well ♥
Played during my sisters funeral, when they showed photographs of her from a baby to her death. So beautiful, so sad.
Great voice great bloke...such a wholesome heart with nothing but good to say about everything and everyone. Gives me a perfect New Year feeling. Thank you Justin. Thank you.
What a beautiful song and I loved hearing the story behind it. Have loved Justin and the Moody's since the '60's and never let them go. I was lucky enough to see them in concert so many times that I lost count.
Justin you still have a beautiful voice even after all these years. I'm 69 yrs old and I still have a signed Moody Blues Poster on my wall of their 25th Anniversary tour. It keeps me young and reminds me I am so lucky to have grown up in the best music era ever. ❤🎶🎵🎸 Keep it going Justin we love you.
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!
Thank you so much for love and support.
One of the songs of my childhood. Beautiful version.
So Beautiful & Perfect Song!😊😮🎉❤🥰😇😍
What a great voice!
How have I never heard this beautiful song before?
It never caught on in the US. Be sure to hear the studio version & the live version in the full cast stage show.
I think it’s part of The War of the Worlds soundtrack.
I still have my original vinyl copy, timeless.
We all should be eternally grateful to that young lad who said "You oughta do that mate".
Let's face it: the song, in and of itself, is brilliant, but Justin's voice takes it up, over, and beyond!
This song…made me cry every time I listened to it because I had just lost my dad, and Autumn is my favorite time of year. It’s an absolutely beautiful song, perfectly sung and performed, and now I can listen to it without getting weepy.
That flute! And live too! Sublime.
great song great musicians and that looks like Mike Dawes on guitar what a line up 👌
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.
Justin, thank you, thank you for bringing wonderful music into this world for almost 6 decades
now. One of the most iconic voices in the history of pop music.
MY KIDS AND I RECENTLY SAW " JUSTIN HAYWARD " AT THE " VINE ROOM " IN PA ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND HE WAS AWESOME, 2 HOUR CONCERT, HIS VOICE IS STILL EVER SO CAPTIVATING AS IS HIS ENTIRE PERSONA !!!! WE ALL ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY AND THIS WOULD MAKE IT THE 3RD TIME I HAVE SEEN HIM, I DID'NT WANT THE NIGHT TO END !!!! GOD BLESSED JUSTIN WITH A BEAUTIFUL SOULFUL VOICE I CERTAINLY HOPE HE KNOWS WHO TO ALWAYS THANK & HONOR FOR HIS MANY BLESSINGS FOR WE DO NOT OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY FROM OUR CREATOR " GOD " ❤
Wonderful. This is a marvellous song on a marvellous album. The great Richard Burton narrates.
This song never ages it will live on forever amazing live version
The Moody Blues are, and will always be, my favorite group. This song perfectly speaks to my soul about a loss which knows no end. ❤
Like fine wine, it only improves over time 🙂
Thank you Justin always loved this 😢❤
God love it, he nailed it. Still that amazing voice.
I saw Justin in Hastings. And it was a dream come true. I've loved him since I was a teenager and it was like stepping back in time. He was amazing.
What a wonderful voice for me at 68 brings back memories from long gone past.
Maybe even ... days of future passed ... cheers
People will be listening to Moody Blues into the future,thank God for recordings
The first day of Autumn and this pop's up on UA-cam I saw Justin perform this live Sept last year in the UK and he was awesome then as he is now singing this song with his solo band receiving standing ovations and long applauses...he's awesome. 🍁🍂🍁🍂👏👏👏👏👏
I thought that was funny, too.. turning up in my recommends like that today...first thing in the morning
@@SuperBartles yep, it was a welcome song to start the autumn. 🍁
@@JoanVioletStretch Blessed
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. When I heard it as a child it affected me profoundly and I never forgot it. So hauntingly beautiful.
Excellent version of a brilliant song.
Beautiful, magical flute playing 😮👍🇬🇧🌈
I was a DJ at an FM AOR station when this album came out. Had to pester the Music Director for days to add this tune. He finally relented and thanked me.
wonderful. Hard to believe for 76 years of age
Fantastic - this song still sends shivers down my spine, as did the whole album on hearing it as a 9yr old in 1978, and sometimes I see huge green bulbous eyes peering through my window at night.
Seventh sojurn
Moody blues
One of the best laments ever written. Absolute masterpiece.
Forever timeless what a voice Justin has
Not only can he still sing fantastically, he has an amazing head of hair as well.
Performed in my home town in Hampshire 🎉 he was fantastic 💚
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.
That voice is still like a comfortable arm chair! Still got it Justin.👍
Perfect…
Such a beautiful haunting melody.
What a talent! We’ve all been blessed to be around to enjoy Justin’s talent for the past 60 years.
Loved this song from the 1st time it aired on radio. Takes me on a mystical journey where all the dead comes alive
Each time I listen to this the flute mesmerises me as does the flautist - beautiful.
No words can make this any better. Followed me thro my life & my kids love it. Thank you Justin.
It never ages....as beautiful as ever. Wonderful playing by Mike Dawes and the whole band.
Unreal performance. Never expected that they could do this so much justice with a 4 piece ensemble. Bravo!
Goosebumps, there are not enough superlatives for this example of genius performed in music, ranks high in my memory along with Melanie, the Strawbs and others. Thank you all for such haunting music.
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~
True, thank you 😊
The flute makes this song, so beautiful and ethereal!
I remember seeing the War of the Worlds LP album when it first came out. I never heard any of the songs but I was fascinated by the concept of a musical version. I had the recording of HG wells radio broadcast and thought the musical version would be cool. I still enjoy the album to this day.
Brilliant, forever autumn still gives me shivers when i hear it. War of the worlds was the album that opened me up to music. Thank you Mr Patterson for playing it for us at school all those years ago.
How great is this guy
My god, ITS so beautiful sad 😢
