I'm driving home and long long time came on radio I start listening to the lyrics.And I haven't heard this song in over 30or 40yrs.But these lyrics just tore me up.After reading the comments I realize this song has the same effect on alot of people.And Linda sang the hell out of it,it was her voice that put so much feeling into it.
@@MsRocker961 I honestly couldn’t help it if I tried. I’m an emotional mess during most hours of the day and hiding it in public isn’t one of my talents 😂😂
58 here... Some of my mothers music... Just saw all the lyrics 😢 So far in this life , I have yet to find a gal to ride shotgun thru the ever days and seconds of life... With the simple depths of what is truly important in life.. U really never grow old or up... ya just age and mainly the body.. Hurt since the 1st grade...😢 lol Well kinda lol And yes, some from my choices, yet it still hurts.. Sure sux to be right sometimes . Never learned yes dear. As I have aged... The big deals were really small & visa versa. Every second u can, tell the ones u love, I love u, I'm think of u, I am hear for u.......... Life is but a blink Be well brothers and sister. Love is truly the answer. 🫶🤙
72 years old next month. This was a great song back in the day and it still is. Was fortunate to see Linda in 73 in California. So pleased a new generation is getting to know her amazing voice and catalogue of songs. Good luck in life everyone. Find love and hold on to it xx
To:@@vaan1520 You are very welcome! Hope this Birthday🎂is your BEST one in a long long time (see how I put a line frm Linda's song🎼in there for you!😉). Keep rockin, Blessings frm Detroit, Michigan, USA✌
This song saved my marriage, We were so close to ending it, but after watching The Last of Us, I was so moved an called her. I said “Thanks for always choosing love with me, I would feel like a part of me would die if you left and I would not fully recover if we ended it.” We have been fostering good will with each other and things seem to be looking good so far. People who matter are worth fighting for, even if it means humbling yourself. Thanks Last of Us and thank you Linda for softening my heart.
I fought hard for the wrong person for 6 years, even moving thousands of miles away from my loved ones with him for his job because that's what you do for love, right? Well anyway, long story short - he wrecked my life, and I found myself very lost & hopeless until reuniting with my old best friend who has known me since I was 16 (I'm 41 now). I had no idea how deep my best friend's feelings were for me, even romantically, but now we've been together for over a year, and he put this song on our collaborative playlist. I had a beautiful friend who worked on the original TLOU video game that passed away recently, and my lover knows how much this series means to me. Insert instant tears.
Just want to offer encouragement. There were a couple of years, separated by years, when I don't know why one of us didn't pack up and leave. It was miserable. For some reason we just kept staying. At the end of forty years of mostly wonderful, we laughed about what our lives would have lost if... Just keep staying.
Mine left me when I became too sick to earn the money he wanted for his dream lifestyle, and after his daughter turned 18 and moved out. Drained the joint account on his way out. Yeah love sucks
This song is so emotionally powerful, especially after Frank and Bill, it’s hard to listen to it and not tear up. I’m glad the show exposed us to this song. It truly is a masterpiece.
I just watched episode 3 and can't stop listening this song. It has become another reminder of someone I've loved very much deeply, unrequited and it's been 5 years. 💔 "A love that never was"
I'd like to be able to say time heals this wound but it doesn't, it just scars it over. 5 years? Try decades. But if you love someone so much that you'd die for them, you also must love them enough to live for them. And loving someone doesn't mean you can't also find some level of love and even happiness with someone else. So be sure to live a life...and maybe someday you'll slowly begin to realize that it is worth living. Good luck.
@@lynnpoint6395 hello and thanks for such a good reply. It was love at first sight, back in time she used to be my instructor in college and I was her favourite student. She's something 8 years elder than me. But I never confessed her as she was about to get married that time and later on she got divorced too. She came to know about my feelings from others and then one day she asked me, I confessed but she said she don't trust men for relationships anymore as something went seriously wrong which led to her breakup after her newly wedding. So today I'm actually moved on from her, I totally focus on myself my lifestyle my goal my fitness everything. But sometimes things and surroundings make me reminisce her just like this song. It may sound funny but I don't even talk to girls and women much as whenever I do I try finding her resemblance, sometimes I miss her and can't control my tears, idk why this happens, but it is what it is. I still love her tho.. lol 💔
This song just broke me☹. Been dealing with losing '' a love that never was'' for over 2 years now.. Its scary how related i feel to this song. Anyone else feels like this?
I’m a new widow. It truly resonates with me. This game always left a pit in my stomach..we played together he knew how much the story meant to me. I have these feeling All over again now that he’s gone ❤
I hadn't heard this song in a very long, long time. The Last of Us brought me back to this masterpiece. I loved the story of Bill and Frank. One of the best episode of any show ever. Great directing, focusing on the window as the credits roll. Heartbreakingly beautiful.
@@MsRocker961We need a good address to send a handwritten card or letter. God bless Linda Maria Ronstadt, her family, and her caregivers. She deserves the best of love and caring.
At 70 I’m beginning to believe that love lost was God’s way of protecting us. I see some of these people and they weren’t the people you thought they were and you’re much better off. Just hurt like hell at the time.
Probably in about half the cases some were dealt a better hand the next time around. Considering a national 50% divorce rate that should be almost correct.
Whatever floats your boat on beliefs, I guess. But why was this dude busy trying to protect people by giving divine breakups, and then randomly kills my friend's 10 year old son last Saturday? He's got a sick sense of humor.
I heard this song for the first-time last summer watching the last of us on HBO. I heard of Linda Ronstadt before, but don't know any of her songs. After listening to a lot of her other songs, I'm now a fan
now, this song will always remind me of Bill and Frank. On how they lived their lives loving each other. On how Bill actually just lived liking one person which is Frank feeling like it’s his purpose in life. Them dying both after the wine drinking slaps so hard because Frank is sick but Bill just doesn’t wanna be left alone so thinking that better be with him for eternity. Love always wins indeed :))
After hearing this song on AGT with Ruby Leigh singing it I can’t stop listening to it. And I looked up Linda Ronstadt singing it, I could relate to this song once in my past. Now I have a man that loves me the way I use to love that someone in my past. And I love him the same way so don’t ever give up on your SoulMate cause the two of yours love is going to last 🎶“A long long time”🎶
If that song were Country and Western, it would be called a tear jerker. Her vocal rendition is magnificent, but try also listening to the backup instrumentals.
So very sorry for your loss. As I've gotten older, I realize that we never die, we just change planes. I truly believe we never lose each other now. God bless you.
I have listen to every artist play this song all instruments, but this original has too be the very best, is amazing how Ronstadt nail it to perfection, nobody has done it better. truly a master piece,
Yes !! Younger adults PLEASE do not let immaturity, hurt, unreasonable ambition, and knee jerk reactions from PRIDE or false bravado rule a rash decision. Patience is a good foil for that. Sometimes a breakup is for something better ahead, sometimes not.
Linda , in opinion is the greatest female singer ever , she makes the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stand up every time I hear her sing from her heart
Love will abide Take things in stride Sounds like good advice But there's no one at my side And time washes clean love's wounds unseen That's what someone told me But I don't know what it means 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you For a long long time Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears I can't say you hurt me When you never let me near And I never drew one response from you All the while you fell all over girls you never knew 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think it's gonna hurt me For a long long time Wait for the day you'll go away Knowing that you warned me Of the price I'd have to pay And life's full of flaws Who knows the cause? Living in the memory of a love that never was 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and change your mind And I think I'm gonna miss you For a long long time 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you For a long long time
This is an incredible song, but just a drop in the bucket of her catalog and hits. She has a way of showing power and vulnerability like no one else. She was a BIG DEAL in the 70's, filling stadiums! Her music will live on forever! Check out two of her other signature songs, Blue Bayou and Desperado. Then dive in!
I just watched this episode of The Last of Us with this song. It’s crazy on how a song can come into your life that exactly explains how you feel. There’s this girl that I’ve loved for years now. The line “cause I’ve done everything I know to try and make you mine and I think I’m gonna love you for a long long time” is fitting. This song speaks volumes for how feel. But like the comic book in the game stats. I’m going to endure and survive
A very talented but underated singer. I used to sing this song with a band in Barbados in tne eighties. I realy love it because it gives you the chance to express your voice in many different tones and heights
I agree! Others matched her power, but nobody matched her sound or her versatility. And I am pretty sure, did not match her # of hits or that big of a catalog of original material.
@@kylecompton3305 Linda is by far my favorite singer, more talent and true singing skills (rather than screeching high note skills) than just about anyone. She had a lot of hits but only 2 number one hits and most, if not all of her hits had been hit recordings from the original artist. The artists of today have social media to create a brand and a fan base catapulting them to number one hits, one after the other. Mariah Carey has a slew of number one hits. On the country charts there are a boatload of people with them too. I don’t think Linda cared about having hits. Most of the songs I like best of hers were never a hit.
Thanks for posting. She is one of my favorites! When I sing her music at karaoke, I have to have it placed 1 half or whole step lower. Every singer is unique! I wish she was still well enough to sing--at least for her own pleasure. Just found out she wrote a book called "Feels Like Home in 2002.
So, I'm old!! This song is one of the best she's ever done. For a little trivia. Did anyone know her band the Stone Poneys are the Eagles?? She's had some beautiful tunes!!
The Stone Poneys aren’t the Eagles. Don Henley and Glenn Fry joined her band years after her days with The Stone Poneys. When they decided they wanted to be their own band, she helped them, and I believe suggested that they get Bernie Leadon and or Randy Meisner to join them.
Linda is my favourite female artist of all times,and that’s how my favourite band of all times is the Eagles,Linda has done a lot for them I reckon,anyway Linda Ronstadt is the best female artist of mine,enjoy your retirement life and take care and all the best,your passionate fan from Australia
This song kinda hit me this morning.. I've done everything, Ive tried it all an still I'm still waiting on the day you leave me.. here you are lingering around..
La canción que tocan en el piano Bill y Frank en de The Last Of Us se llama " Long Long Time" de Linda Ronstadt y la letra nos dice que para recibir amor es necesario que nos curen las heridas a pesar del miedo que nos provoque el confiar.❤
I wish we all would be this vulnerable in public. Without any buz or substance... I see people everyday that just want to let go and be the child within..(*all ages) We never grow up in the sense some portray. Love u! ♾️🫶🔥🤙
I had not heard this song since I was in High School. I am married to a wonderful man, and after watching the Last of Us, I remembered the song and reminded how in love I am with my Partner. I love you Chris, and I think I am going to love you, for a long long time.
Beautiful words that id love to say to a person who doesnt feel the same. Even when you are certain they feel the same 9 out of 10 times their looking somewhere else. We're in a rat race. Im not i sit back and watch. Eventually even after years it all falls down. The old love generation is gone. Welcome to the narcissistic generation. The greedy generation. The spoilt generation. Love to this generation is money. Its not about how you feel anymore and not that long ago it was all about what you felt. Wether the person was sick healthy rich or poor love was love. God be with the days ❤❤
I miss you so much 😢. It's been almost 3 years since I looked into your eyes or heard your voice. I can't go one day without breaking down, like this very moment.
I'm driving home and long long
time came on radio I start
listening to the lyrics.And I

over 30or 40yrs.But these
lyrics just tore me up.After

65 years
So was wunderschönes kann heutzutage kaum noch einer die Stimme geht mir nicht mehr aus dem Kopf.Danke für dieses Lied ❤
A magnificent song and songstress. She’s still alive. I wonder if she understands this new-found love many people have for her ❤
Apparently it's blowing up on Spotify.
I’m sure she does . Linda has Parkinson’s but she knows what’s going on. So hard for a singer to wake up and not be able to sing anymore.

Deeply melancholy. Listening to this song brings back heart piercing, bittersweet memories from the depths of youth ⚡️💔😢

Still one of the best
@@leeworsley7761 of course, probably my favourite with episode 8
The song is extraordinary.

I think everybody is here because of that☺️

Totally forgot about this classic! This is the power of a song like this…you can hear it for the first time in years and it instantly takes you away.
I have listen to every artist play this song all instruments, but this original has too be the very best, is amazing how Ronstadt nail it to perfection, nobody has done it better. truly a master piece,
Easily her best song IMHO. Beautiful and powerful all at once.
It still hurts me even after 55 years.
I had an instant connection to this song 55 years ago when I was like 9. Who knew it would become the anthem for my life
Yes !! Younger adults PLEASE do not let immaturity, hurt, unreasonable ambition, and knee jerk reactions from PRIDE or false bravado rule a rash decision. Patience is a good foil for that. Sometimes a breakup is for something better ahead, sometimes not.
This song leaves me speechless and in tears
Linda , in opinion is the greatest female singer ever , she makes the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stand up every time I hear her sing from her heart
A true classic and one that moves me deeply each time i hear it.linda ronstadt is a legend and one of my very favorite singers ever!💯💋❤️🌹👏👍🏆🥇
Linda was a powerhouse ❤
What a voice. Itll not be equaled for a long long time.
Wow. What an incredibly sad song made real by extraordinarily emotional singing by Linda. This song hits raw and deep.
Love will abide
Take things in stride
Sounds like good advice
But there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me
But I don't know what it means
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long long time
Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me
When you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me
For a long long time
Wait for the day you'll go away
Knowing that you warned me
Of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and change your mind
And I think I'm gonna miss you
For a long long time
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long long time

@TJ Wash what you said, op was a bit of a "huh?" Comment.
Yep I am old also, different drum with the stone ponies was the first song I listened to by Linda and I just fell for her voice.
I believe this song is what made her a superstar.
Not commercially. YOUR NO GOOD in 1975 did. LONG LONG TIME was minor hit.
Wonderful Song and Artist
Inmeasurably touching interpretation of this song,included in The Last Of Us serie...🥺😢😭
Linda is my favourite female artist of all times,and that’s how my favourite band of all times is the Eagles,Linda has done a lot for them I reckon,anyway Linda Ronstadt is the best female artist of mine,enjoy your retirement life and take care and all the best,your passionate fan from Australia
This song kinda hit me this morning.. I've done everything, Ive tried it all an still I'm still waiting on the day you leave me.. here you are lingering around..
Came here after watching the Last of Us. I'm glad we have youtube to keep such classics from dying and forgotten. Such a great song.
Omg the last of us ! Thanks I forgot about this song and now I can't stop playing it
Troppo bello, grazie di cuore❤
We may never see another like her folks, enjoy.
La canción que tocan en el piano Bill y Frank en de The Last Of Us se llama " Long Long Time" de Linda Ronstadt y la letra nos dice que para recibir amor es necesario que nos curen las heridas a pesar del miedo que nos provoque el confiar.❤
🍓🍓🤧
I wish we all would be this vulnerable in public.
Without any buz or substance...
I see people everyday that just want to let go and be the child within..(*all ages)
We never grow up in the sense some portray.
Love u! ♾️🫶🔥🤙

Tears, only tears, for a long, long time 😢
I love this song, the instrumental
🥰👍wonderful lyrics ❤💯sometimes IT takes longer to complete 😔😢💔...
I had not heard this song since I was in High School. I am married to a wonderful man, and after watching the Last of Us, I remembered the song and reminded how in love I am with my Partner. I love you Chris, and I think I am going to love you, for a long long time.
This episode hit hard I played the game before but the way each episode goes it hits harder 😢
1:04 that's when you no longer listen to it but start to feel it
Never heard this song before. It just showed up when I opened my youtube. The lyrics tells everything about me. 😭
Beautiful words that id love to say to a person who doesnt feel the same. Even when you are certain they feel the same 9 out of 10 times their looking somewhere else. We're in a rat race. Im not i sit back and watch. Eventually even after years it all falls down. The old love generation is gone. Welcome to the narcissistic generation. The greedy generation. The spoilt generation. Love to this generation is money. Its not about how you feel anymore and not that long ago it was all about what you felt. Wether the person was sick healthy rich or poor love was love.
God be with the days ❤❤
I'm young but I really like and love this song❤️
Never heard this song before ....then saw last of us and now I can't stop listening to it
