Linda Ronstadt - Long Long Time

[@Wraith_of_Wrath]

I am so pleased that The Last of Us series episode 3 used this song in it. It is such a beautiful simple song but with so much heart and meaning and now hopefully younger generations will get to experience the emotion behind the lyrics especially after watching this well done episode. Thank you Linda Ronstadt and writer Gary White for giving us such a memorable song 🙏

[@garyluxenberg6696]

Going to high school in Tucson in 1962 Linda hung in the same crowd. She used to sing at outdoor malls on Friday night's. I went in the army after graduation. Linda told me to stay safe and gave me a hug. I will never forget that. When I got out 2 years later Linda had moved to California with her band The Stone Poneys who also performed with another group in the late 60s who thanks to Linda became the Eagles in 1971. Linda was raised right and in spite of the hippie generation then she never got caught up in the challenges of those times. I will never forget her and the beautiful voice made in heaven.

[@flightdub6056]

This song really speaks to me. The song perfectly sums up what it’s like to not experience a reciprocated love in your life; everyone gives you good advice, everyone encourages you and everyone tells you it will all be worth it when it finally arrives. But you sit there, night after night, alone. And you wonder what’s going wrong. You start thinking it’s just not meant to be for you, and maybe you come to accept it eventually. It’s just who you are. You’re not someone who’s going to love someone and be loved back. And then one day someone falls into a hole right outside where you live, and you help them out, and they fill the hole in your heart. And it’s all okay.

[@Kormac80]

Back then auto-tune was in the singer's throat. She had a truly rare and special voice AND dynamic self-belief. Watch a documentary about her for deeper appreciation. Rare talent indeed.

[@sandburgmartin7947]

She had "perfect pitch" and was a perfectionist. Her gift, our gain.

Haha. I come five minutes later for the same reason

asked my dad about this, he said it was huge & all over the radio when he was growing up; he's 65

Your Dad is So Right On and I’m 68 Years Old Now

[@tallmn1957]

Dad is correct. Different Drum was huge but when this one came out I cried. I must've been 10 or 11. Yeah, it touched me that much, and still does.

The only thing as beautiful as her voice is her face.

[@MasseyFerguson860]

What the heck, buddy. She could have been universally voted the ugliest human being that ever existed and that wouldn't have taken an iota from the beauty of her singing.

[@pamlindsey3605]

So beautiful..in Every since of the word

[@baddoggie9745]

I've worn out countless 8 track tapes, Vinyl Albums, Cassettes , CD's, and Flash Drives listening to Linda. She's permanently on my play list. Her voice has color like no other singer, ever. She'll always be my favorite vocalist. Classic & Irreplaceable.

It's not the 1970s without Linda Ronstadt. Her music helped define that decade.
