No - never heard it, though of course I've heard of it.

Forever Autumn was the second song ever to make me cry.

The first was Puff the Magic Dragon.

Of the two, Puff is the one that still makes me howl today.

I love the Jeff Wayne albums, they are still at my dad's house. This thread makes me want to get them out and play them.

We need a thread for songs that make you cry!

Wasn't there another musical version of War of the Worlds, I mean other than Jeff Wayne's? I have a vague memory but could be imagining it.

Just played the full shebang.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
