      Thank you for your excellent observation. I concur that in this first time hearing for them, they seemed to definitely miss or decided to not highlight the meaning of unrequited love, which is a rarity for my favorite "first time hearing couple".
      Nonetheless, as much as I adore the creative work of Linda Ronstadt, and as much as I adore the emotion of this particular song, portions of these lyrics in my opinion do not make the overall theme of the song immediately obvious (that being that the singer is singing about an unrequited love that she is experiencing, rather than singing about unrequited love in a general sense) such that multiple hearings are often necessary to reach that level of understanding.
      Additionally, her songs exude excellence on so many different levels that it is difficult to "take it all in" when hearing the song for the first time.
      Once again, thank you for your observation, and for reading through my gibberish in its entirety.

      It's nice to see people listening to the words. This is absolutely the best song about some poor guy consigned to the friend zone. That's right, this song was written by a guy, Gary White. Kudos to Linda for realizing it works both ways and selling the song as only she can, but it's interesting to think about the song in it's original context.

  • @RedBud315

    The most recent interview I saw with Linda was sort of painful to watch because of her Parkinson's. Inside her mind she can still hit every note but, her muscle control is not there so she said she never sings at all any more. So for someone that singing out loud was her whole life it must be painful to not be able to do what your mind says you want to do. She is a national treasure and so glad she is in the Kennedy Honors which I think means more than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every time I hear this for some reason I picture her barefoot singing on the Glenn Campbell show.

      The really strange thing: she was all known as a the one who got away. She's dated Jerry Bromn, Jim Carrey and was even engaged to George Lucas for a while.
      She always had trouble finding someone..”"... he's real kind but isn't inspired musically and then you meet somebody else that's just so inspired musically that he just takes your breath away but he's such a moron, such a maniac that you can't get along with him. And then after that it's the problem of finding someone that can stand you!"”

Impossible to prove of course, but the extraordinary claim requires the evidence. What song of hers suggests in anyway that would have been possible?

    I am a huge Linda Ronstadt fan . . . I attended one of her famous 1977 Universal Amphitheater LA Performances. She was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Female Vocal Performance for this song in 1971. She is, to me, the most versatile female vocalist of all time.
    Ironically, she now says that she couldn't listen to this recording for a long time: "I never liked my performance on the record," she explained. "It was recorded at 10 in the morning, somewhat early for a singer, and we used the live vocal."
    To me, it is perfection. 💖🙏

    Many years ago, a member of Linda's backup band approached her to tell her they wanted to go out on their own as a band, and were worried she would be mad, as it takes time and money to assemble a good backup band.
    She told them to go with her blessing. So The Eagles were born.
    She was finally inducted into the R&RHoF not too long ago, and the same fellow made the induction speech. He was really pi$$ed off, as he had been a member for many years, and if she had been inducted when she should have been, she could have accepted the prize herself, and sang some of her songs as well. He accepted for her, and he and the ladies of rock and roll royalty sang her songs for her. They each had a story to tell. Stevie Nicks said, "I first heard her when I was in 10th grade, and I said, I want to do THAT."

    I read an interview on Linda's opinion of her performance of this song, and incredibly - “I can remember the day I recorded ‘Long, Long Time.’ It was 10:30 in the morning, but I was really into this kind of achy feeling, because the music - it’s in these chords. I think my phrasing was horrible,” she said. “I think I kind of butchered it..." We disagree, Linda, wholeheartedly 💜

The instruments only complement her lovely lilty and bluesy voice. You are right, she can do gritty rock or bluesy and soulful or jazz and crooning. Her two Nelson Riddle albums are proof. She was a student of music and she learned every genre she could and mastered them all. She is a unique treasure

    Back in 2006 or so; there was this show called "Haunted" with Matthew Fox; he was a detective who could communicate with spirits. Sometimes, the spirits would give him an affliction that they had or a feeling; so that he could understand what they were trying to say. In one episode he was hired to find a runaway teen girl - but she had been murdered and her spirit would sing this song to him when she'd pop up. Sometimes, his stereo would come on out of the blue and Linda's voice would come on and give this haunting enigmatic version. By the end of the episode, we learn that the girl loved this song, because her mother would sing it for her; at the time of her death her musician boyfriend was singing it. I won't give the ending away, but it was one of the best episodes of ghostly television. That show was creepy and 'haunting'; EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear this beautiful song by the beautiful Linda, I cannot help but think of that teenage runaway ghost who was just trying to give a message to her parents.

Her range was so incredible and she could sing a ballad or she could sing Latin music, she was truly a Dinamo! If I had to list my top three female voices of ALL time it is Linda Rondstadt, Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner in no particular order. Now, some people will tell you that Barbara Streisand should be in there as well as Whitney Houston, Stevie Nicks and Adele, but that's what the top ten is for.

    The 4 founding members of the Eagles, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon were recruited by Linda as band members in 1971. The chemistry between the band members was so undeniably special that Henley and Frey approached Ronstadt to tell her they were splitting off to form a new band of their own, leaving her to hire an entirely new group as they formed the Eagles. She later covered their song Desperado. Don Henley said it wasn't a hit for the Eagles until Linda recorded it.

    When I was 15 in 1970 this song expressed my unrequited love for a boy perfectly. The lyric "I've done everything I know to try and make you mine" hit it on the nail. I sang along to this song whenever it played on the radio, trying to match her voice. She was my voice teacher. BTW her autobiography is fabulous. She writes a lot about singing.
