Rick Parfitt "Long Distance Love" Official Lyric Video

Leading up to the posthumous release of Rick Parfitt’s upcoming debut album ‘Over And Out’, earMUSIC launches the lyric video for the second single ‘Long Distance Love’.
The song is now available as an instant gratification track as part of the album pre-order as well as on all streaming services:
iTunes: smarturl.it/Ric...
Spotify: smarturl.it/Ric...
Chris Wolstenholme of Muse features on the track, which was written by John David who previously wrote a number of hits for Quo including the UK top 10 single ‘Rollin' Home’, which the band performed on the ‘Aquostic: Live at The Roundhouse’ album .
Chris Wolstenholme was asked to replicate one of Rick’s guitar lines and said, “Take it from me, it was harder than anyone would imagine. Rick’s strength as a player was his immediately recognisable style; very staccato, like his left hand was constantly bouncing off the strings. It’s very hard to do, and I’ve never seen anyone else do it quite like him. But then, there never was anyone quite like Rick.”
The upcoming album ‘Over And Out’ is but the latest element of the incredible legacy and body of work that Rick Parfitt leaves. A testament to his talent, his winning way with words, an incredible joie de vivre and a spirit that never flagged. He’ll be missed but ‘Over And Out’, due for a release on March 23rd, 2018, is a great way to remember him. Gone but not forgotten.

Hey, steady on the comments and reactions to this fabulous solo album by the one and only Rick Parfitts, instead of the negative comments and comparisons to lesser musicians than Rick, Embrace what he was and what he did for Rock Music the last 50 years , yeah that's five -0 years !!!! This song shows the strength of Rick's vocals, heart attacks , I'll health, family bereavements, he's entitled to sound a bit rough round the edges, and that comparison to, Perfect Remedy and ain't complaining is so wrong, u shouldn't be complaining bout Rick Parfitt , the true rock legend, that was and will ever be, Status Quo were unique and will never be equalled, the best loved British rock band ever, who are Queen ???? RIP Rick and cheers for the memories of the 21 gigs I saw you m8 🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤😘😘🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌

[@rockpastor]

I totally agree! Steady on the comments or come up with something better yourself when you are no longer with us. Rick was the guitar player that had the most influence on my guitar playing and I thank God for him. Was a pleasure to meet him and hang out when ever it happened. For the first time in my life I have bought a record on iTunes and it was this one. I still get those chills when I think about Rick being gone and I want to think it is not true. Life is short, no time to complain and think negative about everything and everyone. It won't make you feel any better at all. Thank God instead and let Him be the judge... ;) Miss you Rick

[@007yuval]

Thank you Chris Wolstenholme for completing this after Rick's passing.

[@retroman1215]

Great song from a legend. :)

[@01sanduit]

Great song and great guitar solo, not typical quo and different than Rossi's style. Geniale

[@Cathi1959]

I got this album yesterday and I'm loving every single song on it! Yes, I'm a big Status Quo fan, and some of the songs have that Status Quo feel to them, but the other songs are also awesome! I can't stop playing it - pure magic!

[@rogelio3200]

I love you this song I miss you Rick Parfitt 😢😢😢

[@andrewabraham2287]

Like a cross between ELO, Def Lep and Bryan Adams. Really good song.

[@atallent67]

A bit of Skids in there too

[@lesjackman7616]

Better than anything quo have done in the last 30 years.

[@stevieqman]

Not listened to Quid Pro Quo then??

[@paulgore1237]

Ricky had a beautiful voice.

[@marclennard]

WONDERFUL SONG! So positive...sounds to me like a sun/summer/cabrio anthem! I JUST LOVE IT!

[@2minstral]

Hook laden classic pop rock. Excellent delivery. Makes my best of 2018 list of songs. Big thumbs up from the Minstral Show and World United Music.

[@terrylewis9512]

2minstral just heard it unreal

[@nios9160]

Great song! Rick sounds awesome! 👍😁🎸

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Sadly missed! Great song!!!

[@RockerRollin]

The One And Only 🎸

[@michaelparker5510]

Didn’t realise that Chris from Muse played on this album. I know Status Quo were his idols. Met Chris a number of times and know his mum very well

[@ELVIS7198]

Rick was the true pillar of status quo

[@bigdavekilbride9972]

Excellent.

[@superblackbird7889]

Love this song, fantastic guitar player. RIP Rick Parfit

[@stephanbarwisch258]

I love it 😍 !!!!!! Dreaming of you yeah ❤️

[@jackstanley7418]

My favorite track so far, making me well up even on the 5th time through!!

[@ivanmondo7300]

"Obstruction day" sound. Love it.

[@beatricepeter995]

The only thing that has kept me through all the hardships, IS His Music !

[@TheRamoncito20]

Rick a 2 años de tu partida estoy recordandote escuchando tu fantástico disco de solista. Descansa en el cielo amigo...

[@MDyson151]

If i read one more comment about autotuning (apart from mine of course 😉) i swear ill scream. As someone previously pointed out, lots of (young) popstars use it as standard. To hide the fact they cant carry a tune and probably never could. Mr parfitt's career speaks for itself.

[@jusakse]

Awesome, rip Rick

[@dazmondeo]

Sounds great.

[@janschrijvers3733]

R.I.P...Rick Parfitt...🕯🎸Excellent!👌 Mag het in het Vlaams, Rick nooit vergeet ik u !!!

[@runesmet3109]

Tears in my eyes. Still miss you Rick

[@suziew1267]

Great song!

[@raymondparfitt8332]

A brilliant musician and Komponist ; probably One of the best Rythm guitarists in the Rock and roll scene. I often wondered if he was related to me ; as my dad was born in croydon , and there are Not many parfitts in the Uk ..

[@juancerezales5089]

perfection

[@rogelio3200]

Where you're master Rick Parfitt there's always a place in my heart for you

[@philmanning2549]

[@ChoppaWhoppa1]

Nice little tune, like it a lot.

[@hwoodward884]

I'm no Status Quo fan by any means, but this is excellent!!

[@ravenfirepheonix]

This is better than most Quo songs i've heard. Fab.

[@stevieqman]

Good song but not lets get carried away. Can you honestly say this is better than anything on Piledriver through Blue For You ??

[@alasdairbrown8368]

Steve Quinn ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,This is just Rick.😢

[@stevieqman]

??????????

[@stevieqman]

Alasdair Brown,not wanting to be rude but i meant to ask what do you mean. I don`t understand your comment

[@alasdairbrown8368]

Steve Quinn ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hi Steve. All I meant was , that Rick is doing his own thing. No disrespect to QUO. I've got most of Quo's albums on vynil doubled up with CDs. Rick was a big part of my life growing up. RIP.😥

[@roseharrison4091]

Dare i say it... quo should perform this as a tribute set.

[@brettweary8491]

Wot a guitarist wot a man will be missed more than you can say

[@beatricepeter995]

THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I THOUGHT I COULDN'T BEAR ONE MORE LONG DISTANCE NIGHT

[@jamesm3060]

Fairly blunt use of auto tuning is a bit of a distraction, but very catchy and a great pop song.

[@andrewtilston3478]

miss him.
