Long Long Time Ago - Jack Conte

[@sampalmer746]

Jack's face when he's playing drums is priceless

[@huston1415]

_Ok but can you please come back and make more music like omg this shit is fabulous-_

[@user-uz8mg3ww7o]

Couldn't agree more-

[@VulturineValkyrie]

they have a second channel

[@huston1415]

Western Dragon 0.2 _what is it called?_

[@VulturineValkyrie]

poomplamose

[@huston1415]

Western Dragon 0.2 _thanks_

[@crownedpleb9747]

Pretty crazy finding out he's the CEO of Patreon after listening for so many years

[@nooylimango4964]

woke comrade Damn,, I didn't even know that

[@bogosbintedthealien]

I feel that, I barely just found out this month and I've been listening to his stuff for about 3 years now. X(

[@รtค-j1t]

Denis no way. Hope he makes some new stuff then with all the mula he gets

[@3van1993]

I had been listening to him since 2010 and thought he had fallen off the face of the Earth until recently

[@abebabe7939]

:)

[@Thedownedmachines]

This video was made a long, long, long time ago...

[@doorran]

still good though.

[@Choichoi_1]

Now it's a long, long, long, *long* time ago! Still good 😊

[@spinel6786]

This is the example of perfection

[@phanto4572]

Agreed

[@avadae9126]

Indeedy

[@grantwoolard]

Jack, I'm actually dead, writing this from heaven. They're playing your music up here.

[@machimaru]

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”

[@pedrorego940]

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.

[@Nicegirl10722AJ]

It's so strange seeing all these comments from years ago

[@sadamiamani]

*I knOw rIgHt*

[@mystery_cardds]

SaMe

[@errornamenotfound4589]

They're from a long long time ago.

[@omqariana]

snake princess your one of those comments now lol

[@DanceCoheedDance]

his songs need to be more popular smh

[@alloveragain4026]

Ikr!

[@avadae9126]

Yeah!

[@clvrblzzrd8333]

hey i know it’s been a year but i still think about your account alot

[@KukoMitzu]

Hey Jack, not sure if you still read stuff off KZbin, 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❤️

[@AxeToday]

What a chilling song. Jack, your songs never cease to chill my bones. (Those were compliments btw :D)

[@laysthechip3356]

raaah i miss jack conte come back and bestow upon us your wonderful tunes once moreeeeee

[@subpsych]

Last comment was three months ago? Damn, it should be more popular. This song is still brilliant.

[@amethystaries9789]

2019 and it's still an amazing song.

[@bennyblubman9476]

Now I understand why Patreon is so well designed for artist, it's because the CEO is one of them!

[@ArachnoFool]

Jack, come back! where are you? we want more videos!

[@sparksfade411]

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. :)

[@LOUISGENEVIEVE]

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.

[@ohmyghosts]

this is really interesting to listen to with just the left earbud

[@Fijster]

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!

[@NathanielSolace]

Reminds me of THE DEAR HUNTER!!! My favorite band!!

[@lazyremi]

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".

[@Usul]

It is amazing to me how much raw talent Jack contains. The musical qualities of this song are like a fine wine.

[@YueMie]

If you want to choose Jack Conte's masterpiece I would choose this!

[@silaswarner2053]

+Yue Mie either this or bloody nose. or wonder song. or kitchen fork. fuck it, all of them are masterpieces.

[@dennisarmstrong4717]

I finally found this God damn song!!

[@jexteberia]

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.

[@PaulPistore]

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.

[@lolpifopaf]

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!

[@Jaaski99]

Jack, you are incredible. I'm gonna do my best to get you on the playlist on my local student radio station here in NZ. This needs to be heard by more people.

[@l3vz1m1n]

Now THIS is a good performance!

[@kikianimeokamidrawer9450]

Those violins at the end just give me the goose bumps every Time. Gosh freaking love this song. Your an amazing artist

[@ghostbaron]

I really liked the song right from the beginning,...then the oboe came in.....and it tripped me into really loving the song! I have always loved the texture on the Beatles songs,...and I enjoy listening (as well as watching) to you, as you continiue to grow and expand a collection of great music,that is becoming just as vibrant.

[@Robert-xk9no]

The Album Vs4 is by far Conte's best work.

[@LuLusVideos220]

For once I'm grateful for my algebra teacher, she brought me here xD

[@ProjectCircaBellum]

It does! It's normally for those stations that play random stuff and not only top 40's. And with Jack being unsigned, I think there are no legalities to it. I would double check but it would be pretty awesome

[@grantwoolard]

One of my top 15 favorite songs from VS4

[@doorran]

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.

[@jigenese]

this came out a long, long time ago

[@camnto]

is it wrong that im about to cry? dude you are so passionate about your music. if only i was 1/4 passionate about anything.

[@bonesdog18]

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.

[@maxsignori7660]

Best grin on drums :D I remember waiting for Jack to put out another video, back in 2011. I miss his creativity from his solo career, just brilliant. Damn it, it's already ten years gone. I need his music in my car.

[@hectorvazquez5405]

I'm obsessed with this song.

[@Eurn0]

I’m very glad that 2:30 is the most played part

[@skrie]

This is one of the best songs ever made. Fucking Lorde should be covering YOU.

[@luvmissa]

I feel this could be a soundtrack to some movie yet to be written. totally diggin how this album has such a different feel than the last one. Bravo! Cheers, Melissa

[@YouOriginal]

thanks for the share awesome! sis

[@Jerryprize]

Jack you are some type of Genius! I have been listening to you and Natly for years. Thanks for the music!

[@CannedKiwi]

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

[@TheJasonPV]

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

[@ominousicity]

Someone mentioned the nestles. Yes, absolutely. Felt like he was channeling them. Great song! I love your work remotely collaborating with other artists. Every time I see you post it makes my day :)

[@AlexRettig]

I love your videos, showing everyone who is playing really helps to listen to each instrument. makes listening much more enjoyable.

[@cmretterath]

I hate you Jack. I keep listening to this song over and over. Its taking up all my music listening time. Its almost like you're too good. Freakin amazing.

[@DTH_MT]

My speakers have indentations of this song from constant repeat. This is genius work Jack!

[@1MoreAsian]

its pretty awesome to hear that people are crying just listening to the song or singing along. Only a song that is REAL like this can make people express emotion like that.

[@maikeru01]

jack conte is the only person on the planet who can make a clarinet sound good. unbelievable.

[@JazzyHorn]

Superb Beatles vibe, with the story-telling, the orchestration and the overall feel. Really very nice.

[@stephaniethompson6287]

Still great in 2018

[@cartoongraveyard4643]

Still going strong in 2020

[@magpie8249]

still awesome in 2021

[@ectoplasmic_moss]

Still amazing even in 2022

[@UncleWalter1]

@loudspeaker003 The guy on the video is Anton Patzner. He's recorded with Jack Conte a few times.

[@TheSparticus316]

You've done it again Jackie boy. You've completely blown me away. Stay sharp.

[@Pheorach]

This is, without a doubt, the best one of your songs, and personally my favorite of yours which I have memorized the lyrics to. Excellent EXCELLENT work.

[@reviewsbrothers]

映像の雰囲気と歌の感じがすごくいい！！

[@thoeff]

Great song. I love the way use used the light. And of course all the extra musicians are a phantastic development. Thanks.

[@Slade366]

Amazing composition and lyrics

[@audiophonik01]

Please, PLEASE do more ustream chats with your fans. Having my questions answered was so awesome, and I really appreciated it!

[@ItsMiniFlakes]

lookin a little wild on the drums there Jack.

[@wurlii54]

Dear Mr. Conte, glad to have a new favorite in such great alternative music. VS4 is fantastic in such diverse situations. Keep on the great work :)

[@cartoongraveyard4643]

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.

[@megh9464]

wow thats super interesting! for me its more of a pale blue like when its old paint on wood

[@kplazak]

Gosh -- that was sumthin' else. You've been dancing on the raggedy edge of great (read: so very good -- so much of your solo work is so, so good) and this is truly great (read: timeless, powerful, fun, enchanting). Where has this been hiding? All of the pieces have been there (read: presented in prior videos) but never arranged this way. Beautiful -- thank you!

[@10CPhil]

Absolutely love this track & how its been produced, layered & performed. IMHO you are 1 of the very few unique artist/singer/songwriters out there at the moment.. I can hear influences from the quirky, narrative lyrical styles & carefully constructed soaring melodies of the Beatles (Sgt Peppers/Magical Mystery Tour phase), Billy Joel, 10CC, Kate Bush, Sting & Rufus Wainwright amongst many others, but hasten to add that you still retain your own unique style & personality. TY for sharing :0)

[@SleepySled]

i find myself sharing pretty much all your songs on facebook. each time i'm about to give up on guitar, i see your videos and start again

[@GreenGreyce]

The best one you did since a long time. Great structure, great arrangements, great sound (except for the drum room), great effects, and most of all great taste. In my opinion you're closer (in level of skills) to your influences now.Bravo.

[@AspiringVenus]

I love this entire album with all my being. This man is a MONSTER with music, and I mean that it in the best way possible.

[@absolutpot]

You know Jack, you've just improved my mood by 110%! Thanks dude!

[@ThisNameIsVeryClever]

Well goddamn. This is definitely one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I'm immensely happy that I subscribed to your channel.

[@spielergnomLP]

Beautiful

[@lsc9x]

Agreed. The more videos I watch, the more blown away I am.

[@ShaneTSF]

This is still amazing

[@daveparkmusic1]

FUCK!!!!!! that was the fucking most amazing song of our CD, after "the time has come" I thought it would be impossible to make a better creation, but you did.

[@Jatokae]

Oh my god, I just want to say that your orchestration is absolutely AMAZING. Give all those guys and gals a nice pat on the back for me.

[@chshrkt]

@Zachoreeno That's actually an acoustic bass. He and Nataly have used it on many of their VideoSongs.

[@Fijster]

I think this is my favorite one on the new album so far. Been waiting for the video, and I love it!

[@payforwardhealth3957]

I think it is easy to underestimate how amazing this work is.

[@LiamAWade]

love the strings in this so much

[@respiarbec1249]

lets keep this going guys I love your stuff, its awesome

[@Honeybadgerfolk]

this is so amazing. please tour more!!

[@rr7firefly]

Wow, I remember the first time I saw this. I was much younger. And so was Jack. So much has happened in the meantime. Patreon, for example.

[@bouncyafro]

This is my favorite song by Jack Conte so far! can't get this song out of my head (which in this case is a good thing)

[@KevinYoung93]

this is totally one of your best tracks, and my favorite. keep it up man!

[@ChrisCommisso]

Jack ROCKS!

[@spunoffsee]

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!

[@samspeakman2067]

Dude please come and play a gig in the UK, anywhere and I'll get there!!!!!!!!

[@thelordofbutter2177]

Why isn't he more popular his songs are so amazing I wish I owned one of his albums (I'm not sure if he's has more or just one I'm a new fan) i mean he has so much musical talent! Like if you guys love this guy because his music has a place in my heart

[@CamiloMolfino]

you rock Jack, keep on writing!

[@spetersonmusic]

Truly in command of your craft - this is great work Jack. Kudos.

[@JasonVisser-architect]

Jack, you are way too talented ! We need more of your music.

[@NastiaKossiak]

Im impressed with your work. Congratulations

[@GullyRooster]

Lovely branch in style Jack. I liked that you didn't climax too hard, and the strings and woodwinds went great with that. I didn't love how you set the scene with the "long long time ago" at 0:21 but have nothing better to suggest so will be in my corner if you need me.

[@BrunoBaudewyns]

Awesome as always!!! You know what would be super awesome? A behind the scene video. Home studio tour and recording process, video process,etc... Again this is great, thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see your next video :-)

[@SmallmouthProduction]

My goodness.. this is golden. Great song!

[@Evilhamster95]

Hell yes, this is my favorite Jack Conte song ever. I've been waiting for the video!
