Long Long Time - Linda Ronstadt Cover

[@Angelcakes]

My first video to reach 10k :') I was never one to pick the trendy songs to cover but i'm so glad The Last of Us resurfaced this silly little video I made many moons ago. That episode was AMAZING.

Tu eres increíble!! Felicidades Angel Cortés!

Hi Angel !! I listened to this version of the song several times about two years ago, and really liked it a lot. I posted some stuff back then about choices of variations in the lyrics of the chorus and you replied, if you remember. Now the buzz about episode 3 of the "Last of Us" has brought me back, and I find I like your version all the more, better than any other covers out there. And I like it as much as Linda's versions with full band backing and studio production etc. And BTW, my other favorite "cover" is by Jerry Jeff Walker from 1989 "Live at Gruene Hall". On that I especially like the pedal-steel lick that Lloyd Maines puts at the end of the choruses (and elsewhere). You might consider using some version of that in your guitar arrangement, Angel. I use a guitar variation of that lick, and I've seen some of my listeners really perk up when I hit it right after "for a long long time" in the vocals (actually, starting at "time" I think). Almost like I was a real musician like you, and not just an old creep faking it haha !!

@@tomzimmerman7573 Oh, thank you, I’m glad you still enjoy it! And I’ll have to check out that cover! I’ve been trying to upgrade my guitar playing skills haha 😆

Best cover of this song

[@larryhazlett4445]

You make this song the real deal with your touching voice and beauty. I saw Rohnstadt sing this at the Troubadour in LA when I was young. Your rendition stands alongside hers.

[@Angelcakes]

Thank you so very much.

This is so so beautiful.. Jesus.. The best cover ive ever heard of this song.. Gorgeous song sang by a gorgeous person with a gorgeous voice

[@moonsong7828]

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

[@Angelcakes]

i apologize 4 my bad guitar playing everybody. Blessings

[@tomzimmerman7573]

Your guitar work is excellent on this !! I've seen on KZbin so many guitar performances by famous stars accompanying thenselves not near as good as that !!

WOW ❣️ You're very talented 👍 This is my favorite song from Linda Ronstadt and I think she would enjoy your interpretation of it as well 🤗God bless and keep singing 🎶🎶🎶

[@Olivia_Neumann]

Holy smokes do you have a gorgeous voice and play the guitar like a dream!

[@RazvanCosti]

The vocal delivery is beyond beautiful: it’s got raw feeling and authenticity, the vibrato is either subdued or brave, but always there and the vocal colorig..oh my! I was floored. Great appreciation from an amateur singer here, congrats!

[@tomzimmerman7573]

I agree -- like, "... and the vocal coloring, oh my!" -- 😪😘

[@JCChamberlain68]

Wow! You are amazing!! I really love this version. Linda Rondstadt on this song has to be one of the hardest songs to cover and you sing it beautifully. I could listen to this all day.

[@risky725]

Listen Angel, I'm a long time Linda Ronstadt fan, and I mean LONG time (pardon the puns), and I believe Linda had the second best voice in music history (yep, sorry, Barbra always #1 imo). Nobody on YT that tries to cover Linda's songs succeed. Actually, the the majority of singers on YT are either ok at best or just plain suck. But, I want to tell you, dear Angel, that your voice, with a few lessons and training, has the potential to become legendary. I truly mean that. I hear it. But you have to want it. Your tone, vibrato and soulfulness is captivating. You are actually the closest thing to Ronstadt's voice I have heard yet on here and you did an awesome job on this song. You are great, but but I don't think you're hitting anywhere close to your potential. Your power is just waiting to EXPLODE! So let it!! You have the look, the personality and the voice to go somewhere special. And I hope you do because we out here need you! Bless...

[@Angelcakes]

risky725 Thank you!!! For your encouraging words!!

[@risky725]

@@Angelcakes I meant every word! You want a real challenge? Look up Diamonds & Rust by Joan Baez. She was one of if not the best of her generation. I see a lot of her in you. Would love to see you cover that song because I know you could do it justice.

[@jayhendricks67]

My thoughts EXACTLY you know how hard it is to sing and play you sound just like Linda and Joan also listen to Peter Paul and Mary Cruel War and The Kid such beautiful songs keep on playing and practicing if you can learn the fingering that's will be awesome look at this kzbin.info/www/bejne/nme5kImPqN5ripI

[@7550375503]

@@risky725 Just enjoy, please.

[@jch928]

I agree and congratulations, you just nailed one of the hardest covers in the world, it’s right up there with. I will always love you by Whitney Houston/Dolly Parton. Well done lass! You should attempt Michael Bolton, said I loved you but I lied.

[@VidBrats]

You are absolutely superb! Your phrasing, inflections, etc. As if you're channeling Linda but with your own interpretation. Kudos!

[@Angelcakes]

VidBrats THANK YOU!!

[@tomzimmerman7573]

@@Angelcakes Wow !! I agree wholeheartedly with what VidBrats said above. A comment about lyrics in the chorus -- "think I'm gunna love you for a long, long time" -- other versions vary that, with some iterations going "think I'm gunna miss you for a long, long time" and "think it's gunna hurt me for a long, long time" -- your're doing "think I'm gunna love you ..." all four times in this performance, I think -- good, I guess, if that's most meaningful to you -- I myself lean hard on the "hurt me" and "miss you" versions, but maybe that's a sign that I'm too ego-centric and selfish, haha !!

[@Angelcakes]

@@tomzimmerman7573 I actually prefer those lyrics very much as well. I'd just learned this song and was very anxious to sing this on my channel that it slipped from my mind when I did it, as it's not the easiest song to sing haha. I love the way it was originally written.

[@tomzimmerman7573]

@@Angelcakes Well, your performance is great, and you doing the choruses' lyrics like that gave me something good for me to think about haha !! If I remember correctly, from back when I was hearing Linda R's original hit version on the radio back in like 1970, she only sang "gunna love you for a long long time" on the final iteration, and that seemed extra effective. And seems like I've heard many assorted permutations of "gunna miss you", "gunna hurt me", "gunna love you" in other versions over the years, and I'm not sure which order I like the best -- depends on the mood maybe haha !!

Angel you should try covering some Joan Baez numbers like Joe Hill, you have the old soul vocal timbre and pain, the latter being very important for covering classic tunes

Tu voz es muy bella, solo necesitas mejorar la coordinación con la guitarra sigue practicando cuando la pulas repite el cover estoy segura que será un boom!

[@kinorspielmann4649]

Good try. She needs to learn to sustain notes. The rhythm is not constant. Some chords are wrong. The phrasing needs attention. Some wrong notes in the singing. All a bit flat, linear. Diction, articulation is an issue.

[@Angelcakes]

Thank you maestro 💗
