I am so sorry for your loss, especially as he was so young. I am a 51 year old UK male and I was lucky enough to experience this album when it came out in the laye 70's as a kid. I know it so well, most of the words too. My dad had a high end hifi and headphone setup back then, so I had an amazing experience which stays with me today.

I think of my beautiful cat Surely (Pronounced like Shirley) who was only 2 when she died. We got her a week after my husband and I married in October of '92 and almost exactly 2 years later she went missing and was found dead a week later. My heart was shattered. She loved playing in the leaves and being out doors,, exploring and all. It's been several years and I still miss my little Surely Bo Birley.

Masterpiece that gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it , Justin Hayward was born in my hometown of Swindon .

I loved this song in the 1970's at 16, I love it even more at 61

When I was about 20 years old, there was an amazing classic rock radio station in Tuscaloosa, Alabama that had a program on Saturday nights that would begin each show with all 17 minutes of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. That's where I first heard this song. This was a classic rock station, but one that played a lot of deep cuts. Not just the same old tired songs you hear on 99.9% of the classic rock stations we have now. Which is why I don't listen to the radio anymore. It's Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Sweet Home Alabama, Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2, You Shook Me All Night Long, and Stairway To Heaven over and over and over and over and over again. And since when is Blondie classic rock?

The characters brought together for this album was a stroke of genius. The narration by Richard Burton, sung by Justin Hayward, Phil Lynot etc, an absolutely incredible album that is a fresh today as the day it was released.

The first time I heard this song was on a night driving down a country road on the way to a barn dance with two coworkers who were older than I. It was Autumn and the leaves were skittering across the road as the headlights came upon them on that dark concession road. Thank you Terry for the introduction of the excellent album, which as a senior woman I still listen to. 😊🇨🇦

To my lost love............thank you for our time despite the decades since

I've listened to this track perhaps 10,000 times since it was new. With the fantastic music and Burton's narration, it sums up the grandeur of the entire "War of the Worlds" story in a lasting way. Thanks, Mr. Wayne.

Voice. An underappreciated instrument. Burton - so British. Hayward - poet.

I can still remember at age 7 and sitting in a comfortable leather chair; feet hanging over and with the album artwork with the bucket oversized headphones …listening to this masterpiece unfold in my ears and imagination❤❤

This song is not only brilliant and a master piece of music, it's a story that Richard Burton brings to life with his narrative voice brings to life and makes the story come alive in my mind not to mention the musical master piece. I've still got the original vinyl record and it still astounds me ❤👌🏻👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘✌️

I was in hospital in 1978. My uncle taped it and I played it so much he had to do another copy. It's still one of my favourite albums of all time. Forever Autumn is also still one of my favourite songs ever. This album though owes its success due to - imo - Richard Burton's silky voice.

Listened to this album on a bus trip in 78, didn't have a chance to ask who was this . Couldn't find it ? for many decade's Now I've found it !👍✨ Thank You for posting This best radio play ever !👍 High ART in 21 CENTURY love the work !🌸✨

I can't believe I've haven't commented on this before I managed to get this on tape in about 1978. From the album. And loved it ever since.

My mum introduced me to this album when I was a child, she's unfortunately been gone for 41 years, this song always reminds me of her ❤

My music teacher played the record to the class back in 1981, I was blown away by the bass lines played by Herbie Flowers is I decided to take up bass playing, when the musical show came out Herbie still played his old bass.....

Loved this song...loved the cassette when it first came out. My 1st cd purchased was this. Timeless classic....

Brings back memories of my youth...it is a shame to see just how low this tune...no epic has scored...due only to the fact that younger generations have not discovered this fantastic tune and story. Really glad that I am not of the TicToc.... scroll era.

Your a blessed person :)

First listened to this album 1977 and been my favourite since. Every so often I listen to it and enjoy like it was the first time. Amazing album for the time.😊
