"Long Long Time Ago" is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
Long Long Time Ago, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
He lived down by the farmhouse
where the stray cats sleep at night,
just a deck of cards,
two fold out chairs,
and the ghost of his wife.
And the devil lived in his doorway,
kept out the love and hope.
He lived a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.
He lost one yellow Sunday,
when he reached into his throat
and pulled out all the people
that he had been
and tried to choke.
But together they overwhelmed him,
and he couldn't help but explode.
He lost a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.
Asked a man in town,
and they said he's lawless.
Said he was strange, and he was all alone.
No place to go,
he went up in smoke.
Well he left in a hurry
when the cops kicked in his door.
He jumped out the second story,
limped down the road
and hijacked a car.
He stuck his head out the broken window,
and he howled like the devil's own.
He left a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.
Asked a man in town,
and they said he's lawless.
Said he was strange, and he was all alone.
No place to go,
he went up in smoke.
He flew right past the border,
he ditched the car and dyed his hair.
He took out his deck of cards
for a couple last rounds
of solitaire,
and he slept just like a baby,
though the night was hard and cold.
He flew a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.
When he passed through the devil's doorway,
well he knew just where he was.
He threw back his head and howled
as he resigned himself
to dust.
And they found him in the Rio Fuerte.
His body was still afloat.
He passed a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.

Jack's face when he's playing drums is priceless
This video was made a long, long, long time ago...
still good though.
Now it's a long, long, long, *long* time ago! Still good 😊
Pretty crazy finding out he's the CEO of Patreon after listening for so many years
woke comrade
Damn,, I didn't even know that
I feel that, I barely just found out this month and I've been listening to his stuff for about 3 years now. X(
Denis no way. Hope he makes some new stuff then with all the mula he gets
I had been listening to him since 2010 and thought he had fallen off the face of the Earth until recently
:)
_Ok but can you please come back and make more music like omg this shit is fabulous-_
Couldn't agree more-
they have a second channel
Western Dragon 0.2 _what is it called?_
poomplamose
Western Dragon 0.2 _thanks_
Jack, I'm actually dead, writing this from heaven. They're playing your music up here.
This is the example of perfection
Agreed

Was teaching myself this song on guitar and I realized that the lyrics at the begging of each verse were what the verse ended with
Ex.
“He *lived* down by the farmhouse-
He *lived* a long, long, long time,
Long time ago”
“He *lost* one yellow Sunday-
He *lost* a long, long, long time,
Long time ago”
“Well, he *left* in a hurry-
He *left* a long, long, long time,
Long time ago”
It's so strange seeing all these comments from years ago
*I knOw rIgHt*
SaMe
They're from a long long time ago.
snake princess your one of those comments now lol
his songs need to be more popular smh
Ikr!
Yeah!
hey i know it’s been a year but i still think about your account alot
Mr Conte is like a wormhole pulling in all the feelings of the world and spewing them out for us, the few lucky ones. No words for your talent Jack.
Last comment was three months ago? Damn, it should be more popular. This song is still brilliant.
2019 and it's still an amazing song.
Hey Jack, not sure if you still read stuff off RUclips, but I just wanted to share I recently lost my Dad due to a heart condition, we weren't too close to be honest, but the only thing that could make us connect was your music, I showed it to him when I was like 10 years old, and this one was his favorite.
Thank you for helping me make memories with him I can hold on to during this hard time. For real❤️
Now I understand why Patreon is so well designed for artist, it's because the CEO is one of them!
this is really interesting to listen to with just the left earbud
Reminds me of THE DEAR HUNTER!!! My favorite band!!
For once I'm grateful for my algebra teacher, she brought me here xD
I finally found this God damn song!!
What a chilling song. Jack, your songs never cease to chill my bones. (Those were compliments btw :D)
Jack, come back! where are you? we want more videos!
If you want to choose Jack Conte's masterpiece
I would choose this!
+Yue Mie either this or bloody nose.
or wonder song.
or kitchen fork.
fuck it, all of them are masterpieces.
Now THIS is a good performance!
raaah i miss jack conte come back and bestow upon us your wonderful tunes once moreeeeee
I love it. A special feeling come over me when I hear this: a mix between loneliness, laziness and a single thought "This man is a genius".
thanks for the share awesome! sis
This is one of the best songs ever made. Fucking Lorde should be covering YOU.
I'm obsessed with this song.
jack conte is the only person on the planet who can make a clarinet sound good. unbelievable.
jack dude. incredible song and arrangement. so high level, man. I've also seen so many of your drumming faces over the years, but this one is insane.
One of my top 15 favorite songs from VS4
this came out a long, long time ago
The Album Vs4 is by far Conte's best work.
It is amazing to me how much raw talent Jack contains. The musical qualities of this song are like a fine wine.
Agreed. The more videos I watch, the more blown away I am.
lookin a little wild on the drums there Jack.
I love how the videosong helped me hear parts that I didn't recognize on the song alone. I'd missed some of the subtle woodwind parts, the violin plucking, etc. Thank you Jack for making an audio visual experience that really works!
Still great in 2018
Still going strong in 2020
still awesome in 2021
Still amazing even in 2022
this song almost makes me cry...you add up the good things in your life and you pray they keep your regrets from turning to a sanity challenged monster.
refreshing use of wind & string instruments. You don't see that very often. It adds a very smooth layer to a very rythmical song. lovet. jack rocks.
My husband has been after me for a couple of weeks to listen to your music...now I understand why! Very good! Keep up the good work!
this is totally one of your best tracks, and my favorite. keep it up man!
The song is really interesting.
I love how you can tell how much emotion you put into your music by the way you play your instruments. Even the way you stand shows all of us how much you feel your music! I just love watching you! Please never stop posting videos! :D
Brilliant as always, Jack. Keep them coming.
Amazing feeling put into this.
No one gonna talk about him playing 5+ instruments???
love the strings in this so much
LOVE this.
Truly in command of your craft - this is great work Jack. Kudos.
This is one of my favorite songs on the album!! I love the way Jack is progressing as far as production and instrumentation its so unique

You know Jack, you've just improved my mood by 110%! Thanks dude!
5 secs of this songs were enough for me to love it
You've done it again! Another great video, and even better song! Keep it up!!
I love your videos, showing everyone who is playing really helps to listen to each instrument. makes listening much more enjoyable.
VS4 is the best album I've bought all year. Jack, you are a hero!
Even your sad songs make me smile, just for the pure joy of your artistry.
loving jacks new stuff
i have no idea how long you have been making music, but ive been subscribed for a while and ive seen many of your videos and you inspire me. how you may ask? you show me that music is always evolving and that there are no limits to what you can make.....and i thank you.

Amazing composition and lyrics
you never cease to amaze me!!
Such amazing talent!
this is beautiful. hats off to you sir.
I heard this song about six years ago (I was 14 and I'm almost 20 now), forgot the title and was looking for it ever since. Then yesterday I suddenly remembered the phrase "a long long time ago" so I Googled it and here it is. Still as great of a song as when I first heard it. :)
You've done it again Jackie boy. You've completely blown me away. Stay sharp.
My speakers have indentations of this song from constant repeat. This is genius work Jack!
Beautiful
full of awesomeness
I don't think I have synesthesia because I don't get this for every song, but this song has clear colors for me: brick red and forest green. Not in a Christmassy way, more like a rose with a thorny stem, or vines growing on a brick wall.
wow thats super interesting! for me its more of a pale blue like when its old paint on wood
This has to be my favorite song from you, Jack. I can just imagine it in my head...such amazing imagery...keep it up, dude!
Very juicy drums. I'm always coming back to this gem!
Im impressed with your work. Congratulations
