John Oates - Long Monday (Live at The Franklin Theatre)
'Reunion' out May 17th
Pre-Save/Pre-Add 'Reunion':
orch.co/reunionalbum
I chose to record ‘Long Monday’ due to the evocative nature and down-to-earth beauty of the song’s story. I think it’s important to respect a songwriter’s work. Because of that I wanted to remain faithful to the lyrics and melody while, at the same time, making it my own as far as the arrangement. - J.O.
Lyrics:
You and me
Sittin' in the back my memory
Like a honey bee
Buzzin' 'round a glass of sweet Chablis
Radio's on
Windows rolled up
And my mind's rolled down
Headlights shining
Like silver moons
Rollin' on the ground
We made love
In everyway love can be made
And we made time
Look like time
Could never fade
Friday Night
We both made the guitar hum
Saturday made Sunday feel
Like it would never come
Gonna be a long Monday
Sittin' all alone on a mountain
By a river that has no end
Gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock
That's come unwound - again
Soul to soul
Heart to heart
And cheek to cheek
Come on baby
Give me a kiss
That'll last all week
The thought of you leavin' again
Brings me down
The promise of
Your sweet love
Brings me around
It's gonna be a long Monday
Sittin' all alone on a mountain
By a river that has no end
It's gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock
That's come unwound - again
And again

“The idea for writing a song about a ‘Reunion’ came to me when I began to think about the true definition of the word. It came together when my 100-year-old father told me that he was making ready to be together with my mother, who had passed away some time ago. I wanted to write about the idea of reconnecting with the most essential part of our soul and our spirit. I brought the idea to a co-w...

Toronto Maple Leafs used hall and oates for their goal song!!! was not viewed as best choice at first but turned into a tradition..... great music. Wish them the best of luck and maybe they will one day get ready for their own reunion!!!
This is really impressive!!!
Love this song J.O 🤙🔥
Let's make John Oates great again!
Stunning vocals and accompaniment.
Great song John!! Never give up. Your fan...Mary Anna
Hey John no need to take off yet. Come to Ottawa and let's jam on my elbum...
He sounds really good, I really like this song. Good to see him back.❤
Daryl's new release is so beautiful I get emotional every time I hear it.... CAN'T SAY NO TO YOU. It's just so moving, I love that man.
I have Loved Hall and Oates since the seventies and now that they are going their own way and doing their own thing they are and always will be the best Duo Ever !!
what song is he talking about ?
Perfect song to play before a golf match 😊
Beautiful song ❤
You’re just so good I love your singing and your guitar playing is amazing!
Again, another song that deserves to be covered forever.
Oh John you have such a great voice and boy can you play that guitar love you!
Really feeling this! Being a slide guitar and heavy strings fan, I would have gone nuts with it especially from 3:09. Would've taken this great song right over the top.
It's not about what music software you use, it's about the talent behind it.... and this guy knows what sounds great! He's been there and done that for decades!
I wear suspenders.
Love yu
Great Song Soft Mellow Sounds 🦋🪶
Hi John! You are the best. I think I'm going to cry. Thank you for your music.👍🏽
LOVE HALL&OATES!!! TOGETHER OR APART!!!! BIG PART OF MY MUSICAL 🎼 JOURNEY! IM CONFIDENT IN A REUNION 😢😢
Soulful tune, John. Great video and performance.
Wow that's amazing content
Great song John! So soulful! Great lyrics 🤩😍
Love your voice John
Interesting! Thanks for sharing with us!!
An amazing song John !! Watching the chord changes you do on your acoustic is just crazy. I listened to your new album and have to say it’s amazing.
This is simply a beautiful, deep, song. Thank you, John (and AJ Croce)....
Good song
He's not a bad singer, but this song is a meh song. I think can he grab peoples attention by remaking old popular meaningful songs
Finally the real John❤
I was lucky enough to have seen John live with Hall and Oates, on the tour for "Big Bam Boom" album as a kid. They did not disappoint and I'll never forget that show. 100 times better than the U2 concert (Joshua Tree)I got dragged to, a year or two later, FR!
❤❤❤ Exceptionally, beautiful. ❤❤
It's NOT about seeing his "pops" in heaven as he is 100!! No wonder JO wants to cash out- he may have 30 years still to go...
thats not john hurts guitar, sorry the burst color isnt matching you can argue that the tuners were changed etc, but theres no explanation for the burst border of the guitar being much thinner sorry
Omg. I absolutely love this song. I don't believe I ever listen to any other music from Oats
John.. love this song.. miss you buddy.. a forever Hall and Oates fan.. your voice and solo songs are so perfect . Love you.. forever putting out great music.. 💕
Time is running out brother we are all getting old lets please run it back again 🙏
Love him ! He’s such a kind soul
Team Hall.
Keep knocking them out of the park, John !!!
beautiful!
A new ablum? Dammit, the Associated Press was right. Ironic title & such a throw-off. Was that on purpose? LOL
Beyond superb…
❤❤❤
Been to many H and O concerts and they’ve never failed to do an amazing performance… no matter what their off stage issues are they were always professional and came together for the audience. Works of advice guys.. work it out… life is short and when you lose a brother you lose big time.
