The original melody was written by Wayne in 1969 as a jingle for a Lego commercial . Vigrass and Osborne, the performers of the original jingle, added lyrics to the song and recorded it for inclusion on their 1972 album Queues . Their interpretation was also released as a single and gained moderate commercial success in Japan, selling more than 100,000 copies and becoming a top - 20 hit on the country's record chart . </P> <P> The best - known version is the recording by Justin Hayward from the album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds . Wayne wanted to include a love song on the album that sounded like "Forever Autumn", and he decided that the best course of action was to simply use the original song . Wayne chose Hayward, of The Moody Blues, to sing it saying that he "wanted that voice from' Nights in White Satin"'. It was recorded at London's Advision Studios in 1976 . The song reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1978 . </P> <P> A new version was released in late 2012, sung by Gary Barlow for the new album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds--The New Generation . </P>
