I had one of the First Canadian copies of the album (and still have it) but it is worn. Been through 3 CDs of it (friends keep walking off with 'em!) and looking toward my 4th, if I can get a Twin-Version CD set.
Every time I listen to war of the worlds I can make a mental film because its described so well and composed so well that I can visualise it in my head its an amazing album the original and new generation
Only just found this in 2024. It is brilliant. 100% faithful to the original. I am a huge fan of War of The Worlds. Have been since I first heard the Album as youngster in the 70's. Well done to Garry Barlow. He sings this beautiful song so awesomely. I'd love to see Thunderchild done by Garry in this same way. Absolutely Incredible!
Fun fact: the actress in this, Anna-Marie Wayne is actually the daughter of the original composer of WOTW - Jeff Wayne. Anna-Marie also plays the part of Carrie in the musical version at live performances, in which she is displayed on the stage-screen. Funnily enough, this year (2018) in the performance at Newcastle, Anna-Marie Wayne did an actual stage-performance in which her and the actor playing ‘The Journalists thoughts’ did a duet of Forever Autumn after the intermission. Anna-Marie is incredibly talented, and I am glad to see she is keeping in with her fathers work.
She's been part of her father's musical work since the first arena tour of the musical back in 2006, by simply saying one line of dialogue during 'Forever Autumn', but throughout the years when the musical had evolved, her character of 'Carrie' appeared more often in the story.
I've been a fan of Jeff Wayne's musical version of "War of the Worlds' ever since I bought the eight track, (yep, I'm that old) back in 1979. This video version featuring the superb rendition of 'Forever Autumn' by Gary Barlow is visually stunning and although the song is melancholy in nature it still moves me emotionally to this day. I truly enjoy this video and in regards to sgauden02, yes, Anna-Marie Wayne is a lovely lady and quite talented. Two thumbs up to this splendid video.
Michael Todd I only learned of this album back in 2005 and the fact that it was released when I was 4 (1977, same year Star Wars hit the theaters) BLEW MY MIND!
Greetings William Norton: In the late spring of 1979 into the summer, I drove a delivery truck and I always had the radio tuned to KFPW in Fort Smith. The absolutely stunning Justin Hayward version of 'Forever Autumn' was always a treat when it came on the radio. One day the DJ announced that he had recently bought a copy of Jeff Wayne's musical version of 'War of the Worlds' and, 'folks' if you want to be blown away by some incredible musical pieces, then get on out to your local record store and grab you a copy. I took his advice and made plans to buy one but I got lucky as my girlfriend at the time, bought it for me. And here it is 2017, I'm not as young as back then but 'by golly', the 8 track tapes of "War of the Worlds' are still sitting right across from me in my Cassette/ DVD/ CD case. Unfortunately my last 8 track player gave up the ghost some time ago and I haven't found a new one since...lol But as a side note I did buy a copy on CD later so I could actually 'catch' up with the times..lol
Michael Todd I was in primary school when this album was released in the 70s we had a real cool teacher who brought in his record player and played it for the class that was 40 years ago I will never forget that day it was pretty awesome .
Good to see the older generation who heard the original album during its original release enjoying the new version. My dad had the original album on vinyl and I actually found it when I was a lad and my mum played it for me and my siblings. Needless to say it changed my life and I love the new generation too.
My great- grandfather passed away from Covid-19 nearly 6 months ago. I’ll play this at his memorial. Edit: it’s officially been a whole year since he left this world behind. Miss you great-grandpa.
Wow! Gave this a listen expecting it to be rubbish but it's really good! Gary Barlow's voice is brilliant - a prefect match to the original spirit of the song. I knew he was a good singer but I didn't know he was *that* good. Respect to Gary and respect to Jeff Wayne for not changing it too much and thus alienating us listeners who remember the original album so fondly.
Absolutely a gem, without a doubt. Brings back childhood memories. The Jeff Wayne experience in London was immensely impressive, so when lockdown is over I am going back again.
Never thought I'd say this, 'Buuuut, if I had a bucket list....THIS is one of those things that would be at the top'?? BTW, this video on RUclips is the first time I knew or have heard Gary Barlows version.........really impressed, as Justin Hayward's original version is absolutely flawless!!
This has always been in my life. My earliest memories were listening to this on tapes my uncle copies for my dad, aged about 3. I jumped when the stage production came round and splurged on a ticket in the front few rows. It was totally brilliant. Love this song, love the clip. ❤️
My earliest memories are of my dad and I listening to this on vinyl. It was played at my dads funeral 2 years ago. It means so so much to me now 😢. I still have the original album and artwork. Haven’t been able to listen to it in full yet. I will in time ❤
@Anny Poh: Your wrong here, there is also a movie made in 1953. Also, they made a movie for the Musical version which is played on a big movie screen in the background with the orchestra. I know, because I was at one of the concerts.
Although Gary is not seen in this video, I like his version of the song as well as Hayward's. This video is very dramatic and I like the animation of the tripods.
oh, people, get over your Justin Hayward nostalgia! Gary has an equally, if not more, beautiful voice and he does an excellent job on this song. if it weren't for him, many of us wouldn't even know of it.
3:18 seriously my worst nightmare, a tripod searching a house is one of my greatest fears. I don’t know why, but when I play Star Wars battlefront on the Hoth survival mode and an AT-ST is looking for me in an enclosed space I just can’t. Maybe because I read and watched the movies at a younger age? I really don’t know.
I used to be super terrified of the AT-ST's from Star Wars because they reminded me of of the tripods. The Empire must have known how to apply a similar fear tactic the same as the Martians did I suppose, haha.
My mental image/headcanon design of the fighting machine is actually partly inspired by the AT-AT, as well as the Earthmover from ULTRAKILL, the Gleipnir from Ace Combat X, and weirdly enough, Tasmanian devils. I’m kind of a simp for what I like to call “eldritch utilitarianism”.
Hi old guy here... Ok so in the 90s a friend's older sister turned me on to this work, herd this song on the radio in her car, she said it's the Moody Blues, but the song was written for a War of the Worlds musical... we went to the record shop (well i said i was old lol) and sure enough i picked up the dual cassette (no not the 8 track, im not that old 😂) Fast forward oh 20ish years, my GF at the time Loved this song, well PBS during its pledge season had parts of this during its broadcast. Thanks to a dvdr with a hard drive. I recorded it... took the dvd to her place... she was 1 shocked that such a thing as a War of the Worlds musical existed and 2 loved the song even more when the Forever Autumn section played 😆
A fan at the age of 19 of the 1978 original-yes, it had flaws, and yes, 39 years later the sound clarity and quality are better (new technology), but Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues OWNED this song! And the original Spirit of Man is better too!Having said that, I own this version in its entirety and enjoy them both-If there is anything music should teach us-it is simply that there is room for many interpretations of a song or a concept.ROCK ON, WORLD
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old, And darker days are drawing near, The winter winds will be much colder, Now you're not here. I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky And one by one they disappear, I wish that I was flying with them Now you're not here. Like the sun through the trees you came to love me, Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away... Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way, You always loved this time of year Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now 'Cause you're not here 'Cause you're not here 'Cause you're not here Like the sun through the trees you came to love me, Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away... A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes As if to hide a lonely tear My life will be forever autumn, 'Cause you're not here 'Cause you're not here 'Cause you're not here
Amen brother.i have also lost mine.time slowly heals.i feel for you.my daughter was 4 and my my diabetic son wad 9 when my wife died in a car accident.i know that pain.
I had to console myself with buying the DVD of the original live performance of this back then as I missed out on getting tickets. My friend on the other had had to live in tenter hooks wondering when he would disappear as he got tickets and so I was imagining and planning his "disappearance" ;-). We are still friends and I wouldn't swap him for the word, but back then there was some debate about his life expectancy. :-D
I think Gary barlows version has done justice ! Justin haward was awsome and the best version but this is moving forward and into A live show now ? So give Barlow very good credit for keeping it true
I was genuinely surprised by how good this version of WOTW is, not least this song. I didn't expect Barlow to sing it as well as Hayward and he didn't BUT it's much, MUCH closer than I would have thought possible. I bought the original on vinyl back in 1980 and I still have that as well as the CD version of this. Both are superb. My kids had never heard of people like David Essex and Phil Lynott etc except as people who used to be big. The new version brought the show alive for them by using names they were more familiar with and frankly the new generation cast does an excellent job of making the show contemporary.
This was literally my childhood. When I was 6 I listened to the original version of TWOTW over, and over again all the time. Obviously I didn't understand the story of anything, but I just enjoyed the music (especially thunder child) so much! My mum has gone of old drawings I made of the Fighting/Handling/Flying machines in a box, And back in 2012 (or 2013, I can't remember), I was soooo excited when my mum told me we were going to see TWOTW:TNG live. I'm mainly a fan of things like Marvel, Fnaf, and The 6 Idiots nowerdays, but I still love TWOTW to this day, especially the new generation. I'm really excited for the new BBC series, plus that vr experience in London too.
Well, remember that the original novel of 'The War Of The Worlds' was also set during the same period too, as HG Wells wrote it when he was 33 years old.
A film version of the musical would have been SOOOO much better than that Tom Cruise action movie gabble. The score from Jeff Wayne's musical is pure GOLD!
i had no idea until last week that gary even sung this and thought coz i love the original that i wasnt going to like this but its so close to justins rendition that i like it just as much xxx
This song is for my love i may not see him for a long time due to coronavirus. He will always be with me. I love you so much. Bacteria may have helped humans in this story but in real life it is keeping us apart. I hope i can be with him soon, i love you
Like a leaf on the breeze this film took my heart away That's not right but I saw this film last year I whistle it would come back it was amazing da da daa da da daa da da daa da da daa Ulla ulaa ulaa !!!! Best film eva
The rendition he did of this song during his solo tour was incredibly beautiful. I can't wait for someone to upload that performance. As for the extra "r", you can hear it in some of Justin's performances as well. My guess is that Gary has tried to stay faithful to the original, otherwise Jeff Wayne would have pointed this out when they recorded this version.
I've been a huge fan of Jeff Wayne for...yeah - since my father introduced me to him and War of the Worlds. But this. I...I...I I'm going to erase this from memory. I PRAY!
In the '70's we did not realise yet what kinf of masterpiece this was; a rock album, a SF story, mixed with romance, on vinyl, with a book... It was a book on a record, a rock concert in a book. I must say, the original performance is much better. Some things you do not have to change:)
Legends never die diamonds are forever stay strong stay safe everyone takecare becareful out there dont let guards down good luck with tour 2022 sending luck love from headway Nottingham UK takecare everyone well done keep going doing amazing things xxx
Always loved Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds since I was a very small boy, literally about 4 I'd say. Fascinated me, ignited my imagination. I remember one of my older brothers convinced me we really were invaded by Martians in the 19th century. lol. Mars has fascinated me ever since. And the stage show is so superior and so much truer to HG Wells' story than the crappy, bastardised American film takes of it. Though I prefer the original of this song it's still cool. Nice, evocative vid. :)
How great would have been that Freddie Mercury would sing in the original 1978 record . It, s rare they didn't ask him to sing because Queen by then were very famous and in the peak of it,s career.
Incorrect. Jeff Wayne really intended that song for justin hayward. He didnt know him well but remembered the song nights in white satin and after searching, he CALLED justin by phone ( from an intervieq of J.hayward himself ) . The man on d line asked " are you the guy who sang white satin?"..i have a song that i want you to sing. And that is forever autumn. Freddie was never considered. It was justin's voice that jeff wayne wanted
This was played at my husband's funeral, August 2020, will miss him forever.
Hugs...😔
I'm sorry for your loss...
All my love and prayers - may he Rest in Peace
Player
Sorry for your loss. Did he like war of the worlds?
When I was small, I listened to the War of the Worlds on record at my aunt's house. It was narrated by Richard Burton and was an amazing audio tale!
I had one of the First Canadian copies of the album (and still have it) but it is worn. Been through 3 CDs of it (friends keep walking off with 'em!) and looking toward my 4th, if I can get a Twin-Version CD set.
Every time I listen to war of the worlds I can make a mental film because its described so well and composed so well that I can visualise it in my head its an amazing album the original and new generation
Im the same. Then you watch the film and its dissapointing
Ye I know wish they would make a good film
Boba Fett yeah with that sherlock holmes guy richie feel
Ye man
Not-Cross-Kill
I live in the US and I heartily agree with you; keep it much like the book.
Only just found this in 2024. It is brilliant. 100% faithful to the original. I am a huge fan of War of The Worlds. Have been since I first heard the Album as youngster in the 70's.

A sheer masterpiece

i love both versions justin hawayds one for me is a classic and no will ever do it better but this is a bloody good version too love it xxxx
Lost my Papa 22.11.22 and this sums up the words I can’t find at the moment 😢
Great song and Barlow did it justice.
They should really make a movie of this version of WOTW.
+Vrededromer - They did, in 1978 and the still view it live all across the world
That's a play...
It not movie it Musical only 2005 WOTW is the movie
@Anny Poh: Your wrong here, there is also a movie made in 1953. Also, they made a movie for the Musical version which is played on a big movie screen in the background with the orchestra. I know, because I was at one of the concerts.
There is alsof An animated version bit it's more a sequel. But it's pretty good.
I love all music. But this will forever give me goosebumps
Love this song and Gary sings it beautifully, I also love Justin Haywards version equally
Although Gary is not seen in this video, I like his version of the song as well as Hayward's. This video is very dramatic and I like the animation of the tripods.
Gary is a very good singer but he is not in the same league as Justin Hayward.
this was in the Live musical if you are from England
Thank u April your opinion has been shitted on
@@justinconnolly3533 dude. Why do you have to be like that?
Imma say Richard burton was born for the job
That suit that Liam wears, it makes him look smart.
He is smart, a physics undergraduate
if this glorious music isnt played at my funeral i aint dying
Gary Barlow sing this perfectly , I love it
oh, people, get over your Justin Hayward nostalgia! Gary has an equally, if not more, beautiful voice and he does an excellent job on this song. if it weren't for him, many of us wouldn't even know of it.
They both are good singers and both have great talent! give credit where it is due!

It's quite an unique phobia. I'm glad I found this.
My mental image/headcanon design of the fighting machine is actually partly inspired by the AT-AT, as well as the Earthmover from ULTRAKILL, the Gleipnir from Ace Combat X, and weirdly enough, Tasmanian devils.
I’m kind of a simp for what I like to call “eldritch utilitarianism”.
I had a few nightmares where I’ve been trapped in a house with a tripod trying to search through windows
If you played this for me and told me it was Justin Hayward singing, I wouldn’t have questioned it for a second.
Hi old guy here...
Ok so in the 90s a friend's older sister turned me on to this work, herd this song on the radio in her car, she said it's the Moody Blues, but the song was written for a War of the Worlds musical... we went to the record shop (well i said i was old lol) and sure enough i picked up the dual cassette (no not the 8 track, im not that old 😂)

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
And darker days are drawing near,
The winter winds will be much colder,
Now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear,
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here.
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way,
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away...
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn,
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
I loved the original and I love this.
So we can all establish that jeff Wayne is a musical god then ? Woohoo we all agree on something
Autumn is my favorite season of the year. The colors are something that I look forward to. This song is the perfect definition of the season.
one of my favourite songs - want this played at my funeral
Probably my favorite song from the album
Amen brother.i have also lost mine.time slowly heals.i feel for you.my daughter was 4 and my my diabetic son wad 9 when my wife died in a car accident.i know that pain.
this song allways makes me cry.
Makes me think of my Mom who passed away in 2018😢
At last the red weed comes along! Such a beautiful video of a beautiful song!
This video and song remade by Garry Barlow is absolutely excellent. I am most impressed at the brilliant up dated quality of an original song. Chris M
I had to console myself with buying the DVD of the original live performance of this back then as I missed out on getting tickets. My friend on the other had had to live in tenter hooks wondering when he would disappear as he got tickets and so I was imagining and planning his "disappearance" ;-). We are still friends and I wouldn't swap him for the word, but back then there was some debate about his life expectancy. :-D
An impressive version of the song... well done.
J'y reviens souvent. Doux, triste, terrible. Merci du partage.
I think Gary barlows version has done justice ! Justin haward was awsome and the best version but this is moving forward and into A live show now ? So give Barlow very good credit for keeping it true
I was genuinely surprised by how good this version of WOTW is, not least this song.

The new version brought the show alive for them by using names they were more familiar with and frankly the new generation cast does an excellent job of making the show contemporary.
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING!! SEE THIS IS WHY JEFF NEEDS TO DITCH THE TOUR FOR A YEAR OR TWO AND WORK ON THE MOVIE!!!!
This was literally my childhood. When I was 6 I listened to the original version of TWOTW over, and over again all the time. Obviously I didn't understand the story of anything, but I just enjoyed the music (especially thunder child) so much!

I'm really excited for the new BBC series, plus that vr experience in London too.
This is what the movie should have been like... true to the original.
Thanks for the upload !
Wow, brilliant score - thanks for sharing!!!
This is deeply wonderful. I loved the war of the worlds as a kid, planted the love for classic rock into me, i guess
The reason why I absolutely *LOVE* this song is because it relates to the victorian times
Well, remember that the original novel of 'The War Of The Worlds' was also set during the same period too, as HG Wells wrote it when he was 33 years old.
A film version of the musical would have been SOOOO much better than that Tom Cruise action movie gabble. The score from Jeff Wayne's musical is pure GOLD!
That's a good cover version by Gary Barlow. 👍
that was bloody brilliant - thanks!
❤ A wonderful sound❤ nice film and story as well ❤
i had no idea until last week that gary even sung this and thought coz i love the original that i wasnt going to like this but its so close to justins rendition that i like it just as much xxx
Finally, autumn is actually here! No more heat waves in October!
This is old as fak now, RIP war of the worlds, I won't forget the spectacular music that Jeff Wayne made🙌
Singing and music is like a great movie !! Wonderful !!
Somebody just make this into a movie please its epic material. Would love to see and Eve of the War Video!
This needs a movie.
Liam Neeson, outta nowhere! lol, I love it! Gary Barlow; brilliant musician. What a great video!
Liam Neeson just doesn't get any older does he. We had the cd soundtrack in the 80s
YAY! An official Forever Autumn video! Cant believe it!
Omg..this song is so so great...i like it :))
and Gary has a good voice....
Meravigliosa canzone e bravissimo Gary Barlow
this is actually awesome!
Omg! Liam Neeson it is so but so beautiful. 🥰🥺✨
One of the best songs in the musical
did you have any doubt?:) he has a fantastic voice and is one of the best male singers.
This song is for my love i may not see him for a long time due to coronavirus. He will always be with me. I love you so much. Bacteria may have helped humans in this story but in real life it is keeping us apart. I hope i can be with him soon, i love you
Who could forget Burton's voice in the original War of the World's , You top perfection !
Barlow does a great job here.
Me encanta esta canción es hermosa
Like a leaf on the breeze this film took my heart away
That's not right but I saw this film last year I whistle it would come back it was amazing da da daa da da daa da da daa da da daa
Ulla ulaa ulaa !!!!
Best film eva
Nowhere near as good as Justin Hayward (who is?) but Gary Barlow is a mighty fine singer. Great job.
Think Gary did this version justice.cany think of many others who could
I wish Jeff Wayne would make a full length animated film of his musical version.
Gary sounds fantastic! What an opportunity for him to be able to sing one of his favorite songs.
The rendition he did of this song during his solo tour was incredibly beautiful. I can't wait for someone to upload that performance. As for the extra "r", you can hear it in some of Justin's performances as well. My guess is that Gary has tried to stay faithful to the original, otherwise Jeff Wayne would have pointed this out when they recorded this version.
It's the " you're not 'ere " that gets me ! - still love it though !!
Was this the performace you mentioned? Was one of the first results when I put in Gary Barlow Forever Autumn. ruclips.net/video/hQGr1jmHb_Q/видео.html
I want this to play at my funeral
And my husband's funeral. Much faith and good luck.
I've been a huge fan of Jeff Wayne for...yeah - since my father introduced me to him and War of the Worlds. But this. I...I...I I'm going to erase this from memory. I PRAY!
I saw this live on stage, been to all the live shows except the first one in 2006 as didn't know about it then
In the '70's we did not realise yet what kinf of masterpiece this was; a rock album, a SF story, mixed with romance, on vinyl, with a book... It was a book on a record, a rock concert in a book. I must say, the original performance is much better. Some things you do not have to change:)
This version is a lot better than the version in the production on the Show Must Go On channel. I like this version it is pretty.
Legends never die diamonds are forever stay strong stay safe everyone takecare becareful out there dont let guards down good luck with tour 2022 sending luck love from headway Nottingham UK takecare everyone well done keep going doing amazing things xxx
This song remimds my grandma of the memoreys of my grandad
Good effort Gary.
one of the greatest songs ever created. i never tire of it. this is a good version aswell but ofc no match for the original
I cried because this reminds me of when I`m along... :_(
Always loved Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds since I was a very small boy, literally about 4 I'd say. Fascinated me, ignited my imagination. I remember one of my older brothers convinced me we really were invaded by Martians in the 19th century. lol. Mars has fascinated me ever since. And the stage show is so superior and so much truer to HG Wells' story than the crappy, bastardised American film takes of it. Though I prefer the original of this song it's still cool. Nice, evocative vid. :)
I like all of it - the voice, the song and the video.
The global pandemic and social
distancing adds more weight
to the lyrics.
This is brilliant
If this song doesn’t play at my funeral, I’m not dying
How great would have been that Freddie Mercury would sing in the original 1978 record . It, s rare they didn't ask him to sing because Queen by then were very famous and in the peak of it,s career.
Incorrect. Jeff Wayne really intended that song for justin hayward. He didnt know him well but remembered the song nights in white satin and after searching, he CALLED justin by phone ( from an intervieq of J.hayward himself ) . The man on d line asked " are you the guy who sang white satin?"..i have a song that i want you to sing. And that is forever autumn.
Freddie was never considered. It was justin's voice that jeff wayne wanted
Lol at the hate. This song is a classic from a classic book, movie, and musical.
Doesn't sound right without Richard Burton cutting in to narrate! D:
love it .x
Man this is played in kne of my games andi listen to all the jeff waybe songs
Love this song it reminds me of my dad, and what an excellent remake by gary barlow.
I was expecting to hear, " and I was swept along with them. Aimless and lost without Carrie."
love this one to I grow u listen to this my mam had the wee LP
