Justin Hayward, "Forever Autumn"

So begins another fall, and this message of unresolved and unsatisfied longing feels appropriate for a summer that never truly became summer, in a year when few dreams came true: "Forever Autumn," Justin Hayward's best work outside the Moodies.

Love this song, cheezy clip notwithstanding. Looked everywhere for Van Morrison's "Autumn Song" on YT to no avail, and compeltely forgot about this. Brings the Autumn of '78 back quite clearly.

Justin did not write this song, though he sings it beautifully.

But it is probably the best song that represents autumn
