Nicer cover, well done and very heartfelt. Your affection for the song comes right through.
From an album that's unfortunately not well known in the U.S.A. Always ends up being misfiled with show-tunes and soundtracks, when it's really one of the best progressive rock concept albums ever.
AMAZING, i just love this song and your cover is just beautiful! i have always loved this soundtrack and your cover made me pick up my copy and listen to it again, i love it! Xxxx
This song means alot to me because it was the song played at my little brothers funaral. When i look at covers of this song im usally dissipointed but you have done the greatest job Thankyou for not ruiening it :)
I still love this one (it's the right season now...). I even prefer your cover to the original song, as I've got used so much to listening to your great voice. Thanks again for this cover :-)
Just saw this awesome cover of Africa - Toto and 'liked' that and then thought to myself, 'I wonder who did that other awesome cover of Forever autumn' -heh
I grew up listening to Justin hayward, and later found this song and thought it was extrememly sad and at the same time beautiful, it became my most fav. You did no disservice to the song or Justin with your rendition, Most Excellantly done. BRAVO!!!!!!
Nice cover. I could not help but hear that your said "The summer sun is fading as the year grows cold" it is old not cold, I cannot complain as it is a great cover. 5*
I think you sound so amazing - I always loved this song and you did it perfect. I can't believe someone hasn't posted tabs or done a lesson yet it, as I see so many for other Moody Blues songs and old classic rock, and I can't finger that opening - it doesn't look too hard to do. I see others have asked you for help. It would be really appreciated. Anyway, I'll try some more...Thanks so much for this lovely song. 5 Stars!
1st string open, 2nd string 3rd fret (relative) 2nd str. 1st fret (relative, everything, my friend, is relative :D ) 2nd str 3rd fret, 2nd str open, 2nd string 1st fret, 3rd string 2nd fret. you can see how he fingers it -- its a really elegant solution! rest -- chords and stuff -- you can either find online or figure out by ear, it's almost hard to do it wrong, he plays it so intuitively :)
(and sorry for horrible tab, I think YT would ruin a normal one)
can you tell me what chords/ tab you used for this please? ive tried looking on the internet for the chords but they seem to be wrong slightly each time. i listened to your version and i was absolutely stunned-amazing cover!
for the tabs, i dont mind with cappo or without because it'll just be lower down the fret board but relative to the vocals.....thankyou!
This is one of my favorite Justin Haywood songs, and you have covered it superbly Clint!! Great acoustic, great vocals.....well done buddy, brilliant!!! :0)
Clint, got this saved to my favourites & have had for a long time, stumbled on it again 2night & i re-realised why, fantastic version buddy, guitar playing is 'absitively' spot on, love it, hats off to you dude, well done, many enjoyable moments.
Te felicito! me regalaron la version en castellano en el 80' y nos fuimos desde Buenos Aires hasta Brasil escuchando esto, que cagazo cuando de noche veíamos las luces de las antenas retransmisoras en pleno campo! a los 8 años es una e las cosas más grosas que te pueden regalar!
Gracias por tu versión, está muy bien "ejecutada".
Dude, i forgot to leave a comment before. Top top marks..you nailed the vocal. Me and my bro grew up with War of the Worlds too, hence the cover, dif' interpretation though. But great work, nice and stripped back.
Just Discovered you today with your wish you were here cover, and once again that was different class,beautiful guitar and great voice on a very hard song to sing, effortless.
WOW!! Lovely cover babs, I am a big Justin Hayward/Moody Blues fan... You did a wonderful job, you have a great voice, nice tone, very sensitive with an emotional urgency... Much luck is wished for you on your musical journey... xoxo
Clint awesome cover mate, quick question i play a little and want to try and record myself, can you give me some glues as to the software you have and how exactley do you record yourself playing and singing, can you please help im at a complete lost we all start somewhere dude :) thanks hope you will help keep rocking Clint Swanky.
Hey Babs, Just wanted to tell you that you performed that beautifully. SERIOUSLY. That song use to make me cry when I was kid. My father was lead singer and guitarist in a band all his life and he sang that song to me. He died this year and you've honored his memory for me. Thank you.
Brilliant you are a talent my friend
