“Long, Long Time” was written by Gary White and was recorded and released by Linda Ronstadt in 1970.
This is my very first “live” performance on video. My son Dylan O’Connor is the videographer, producer, and director of this project. I owe its creation to Dylan's encouragement and tenacious patience as we worked our way through getting this song recorded. I dedicate this song to Linda Ronstadt, the greatest female singer of all time.

  • I discovered this song like a lot of us at the weekend - but your version is absolutely my favourite sir.
  • @aang_arang
    This version feels like a lullaby, so calming
  • I've always loved this song. The fact they put this song in one of the best videogame to series adaptations of a character who never had an in depth back story only makes it that much more amazing and heartbreaking.
  • @weedy79
    It's a fortunate coincidence that we found your beautiful cover of this song because of a tv show. Thank you for this one my good sir! It's so good :)
  • Sir, you had me in tears. Thanks for sharing your music with the world. Like others, here for Bill and Frank but stayed for your voice. 🥰
  • @miniman2132
    My goodness. The thing I love about music is that there’s ALWAYS another song out there to discover, and this is one of them. Fantastic.
  • Like many here, I'm here because of The Last of Us. And like many have, I recommend checking it out. The series is about more than just an apocalypse and danger and fungal zombies, it's about humanity and the lengths people will go to for the ones they love. Episode 3 is where this song is featured, and the romance they captured between the two male leads of the episode was an incredible bit of representation and was a gorgeous love story, regardless of gender or bias. Amazing cover, voice, and charisma, Sir, well done. Love from America
