Lyrics:
Long ago, and oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again?
Come back to me again and play your sad guitar
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
![my chemical romance • someone out there loves you [lyrics]](/img/n.gif)
The original is iconic but his voice makes it so romantic
I love when he sings "I love you, I really do" and then he whispers it. Ugh, my god.
im crying
yaas the whisper...so good sets the vibe ❤
I don't really understand people thinking this sounds bad. Especially for Gerard's more punky voice is sounds really nice, like he put effort into it.
Who the fuck said that? Totally untrue.
This song helped him warm up before recording the vocals for Cancer. 😭
Really ???
What ???
owo what's this??
aw that’s so cute
Yes !! I just checked an article online by Billboard !!
I actually really, really like this. There's emotion and character here. Is it pitch-perfect? No, and honestly, that's okay. I've heard so many versions of this song where the singers are so obviously trying to be technically perfect that they miss the emotion and story behind the lyrics. There's a "cry" in his voice that suits the song, and although it was apparently just a throw-away warm-up track, I think it works well as a cover.
janedoe678 ikr, I really feel the emotion in his voice.
I call for a resurgence
janedoe678 ua-cam.com/video/nNCpH88x3c8/v-deo.html 😭the beginning of this video
It’s just a warm up song. He wasn’t trying to
He perfect lol
This one's good. But has anyone heard of Dogstar's version? I badly wanna tell you who's in that band, but I don't wanna ruin the magic. Just check it.
Does anyone else listen to this and their problems melt away for a moment
ME
Me too
Sydney Moore yeah
ME
Yeah
I was playing this song on a louder speaker in my kitchen doing dishes when I looked over at my dad and noticed he was crying I asked what was wrong and he said this was his grandmothers favourite song and when she passed he listened to it all the time he also thought gee’s voice is beautiful and he covered this song magnificently
🙀♥️
I’m crying
That's beautiful
I get it when i listen to the carpenters it reminds me of my childhood my dad hzd the albums. And ironically my duaghter 27 of age .is a major MCR fan .and she also loves the carpenters.i sent her this cover .she wS blown away .as sas i Amazing cover .love him .
❤❤❤❤ omg I love gerard singing this song its one of my favourite carpenters songs
I love how we have so many comments how this was butchered. this was not in a recording studio. it was a casual warm up song. I love how raw it is and imperfect it is. Gerard is a very talented musician. #mcrfanforever
My mother has to know if he was singing to a music track or if the whole band was warming up
Ashley Iveson I think he’s singing to a track since the band has no wind instrument.
RAW IS BEST
As if anyone could replicate Karen Carpenter anyway
this is was a warm up song 😃, wow hes fuckin awesome
This would have sounded bad ass with the whole mcr band
Rat Bird AGREED!!!!!!
any song would sound badass ngl
Rat Bird here it isua-cam.com/video/nNCpH88x3c8/v-deo.html (the beginning of this😭
as a singer with anxiety i still have a tendency to put all of my focus into hitting the exact notes, so no one can laugh at me for messing up. gerard way is my biggest musical inspiration. he's an incredible singer and delivers amazing live performances that aren't pitch-perfect. the way he effortlessly puts so much emotion into each line (which is the weird thing that makes you hang onto every word he sings, i think) made me realise that the vibe you're giving off as a musician is more important than never being slightly off-key.
LONG AGO
Helena?......
this just shows Gerard's range and how many 50s/60s/70s songs that he can sing. whoever said he couldn't sing this should hear "my way" he is a gem to us and it shouldd be appreciated
Is this on spotify because it's a n e e d
no unfortunately
If you download it through an mp3 converter into iTunes then go offline on Spotify and look it up in the local files you can listen to it on Spotify and add it to playlists I did this with the mcr acoustic performance
@@bayleytaylor6377 how do you look up local files on spotify?
There’re 2 things illegal about this cover 1. It’s not available on spotify 2. The way he sang “BabybabyBAbybABy”😭
My mum loves this song and the carpenters and when I heard Gerard covered it I was so excited xD i showed my mum now its stuck in my head xD
it's funny cuz my mom showed me this and I didn't even know about it.
My mom also loves the carpenters. I’ll have to share this with her. ❤️
Same omg
I like the raspiness. It adds a natural sounding masculinity that goes with the ballad. It’s got a real Liverpool vibe. Love it.
Am I too biased or Gerard does sound perfect in this song?
There’s just- how do I explain this? There’s just so much passion, emotion and love in his voice in here. You can tell he really loves Lindsey, damn. Someone get me my own Gerard Way. ;-;
human interaction sucks He didn't cover this song for her. Jesus do your fucking research. They recorded this cover in 2006 while recording for TBP. Lindsey didn't manage to worm her way in with him until Project Revolution in 2007. So no it's not for her. She's always been shady as fuck so don't put it past her to lie. She's done it many times.
Vince Literally stop saying the same fucking thing man
Fuck Off angry frerard stan?? 🤔🤔
@@scissorloidz No one said anything about Frank.
@@lucy-dn9sv But he's right. And look at the comment, he doesn't back Frerard either. That's jumping to conclusions.
"You said you'd coming back this 'Way' again baby" @.@
I just have a mental image of Gee in his purple suit clutching Lynz's leg and dragging after her while sobbing and saying "baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby. I love youuuuu. I really do!" While Lynz is just minding her own buisness, making Bandit some pancakes and rolling her eyes at Gee's antics.
but like imagine singing this at your wedding and your husband/wife is playing the guitar it's just so perfect
I'm a Songbird,
Grew up singing this,
A perfectionist if you will.
This is the best rendition I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
BEAUTIFUL 🌷
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGBIRD OF THIS ERA!!
⭐GERARDWAY⭐
This is a very good rendition! I came across this one earlier today-
ua-cam.com/video/JhWrggrJ20I/v-deo.htmlsi=Xzqc44gUGwvgXA1o
Another excellent cover..imo.
The picture. Where did you get this from? Looks nice
Words fail me. Awesome
Jae Park and Johnny Suh are my Ehrenmänner Hesitant Alien show
When i was little, my parents used to play this and i never failed to cry when they put it on, and they never knew why i cried (i never knew why i cried either). and here i am, about to cry again. great cover, he's so talented!
his voice makes this feels more nostalgic
OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED
I ship frerard and everything but you guys need to chill. He used this song to warm up his vocals during the black parade. He also sings this to Lindsey when she's sad. Sure, frerard was maybe real at some point, but now it's gone.
He sings it to Lindsey when she's sad?? Wow that so beautiful- they r so sweet together :' )
Krystyna Hutton it’s literally a lie
3 years later- i absolutely don’t ship frerard anymore, shipping real people it’s fuckin weird oml
also the lynz thing isn’t confirmed
When did Gerard do a cover on this?? Wow. One of my favorite singers and have him pay homage to one of the greats. I'm happy he didn't change it too much and stayed closer to the original.
he sang it as a vocal warmup before recording cancer!
Diego Rivera here he is singing it with MCR ua-cam.com/video/nNCpH88x3c8/v-deo.html😭it’s at the beginning of the video
This is the song he sings to Lindsey when she's sad :)
Adrian Lund awwwww I need a Gerard in my life
Aaaaaahhhhh he's such a sweetie!!
Yeah that's total BS she cooked up to rub their LUV into everyone's face and to throw in a dig at Frank. She's shady as fuck and always has been. She used to hurt herself so she could run to Gerard and claim his fans were throwing glowsticks at her so he would get angry at them and yell at them while onstage. He first covered this song on stage for Frank and it was officially recorded in 2006 during the recording for TBP. She didn't worm her way in with Gerard until Project Revolution in 2007.
Vincent End Just stop. Please, just stop
V.D. You ship ferard don't ya. Don't worry me too
Such a HUGE fan of both Karen and Gerard. I cry everytime i hear his version of it, such emotion and love into the song just as Karen would have wanted it
Gerard saying "Long ago" makes me think that im unsure about me existing
The emotion and desperation in his voice fit the song perfectly
Dude.... holy shit..... this is like my favorite song..... and he just did a cover on it yeah I can die in peace now
this version and sonic youth’s are my favorites, would love to see gerard singing this in sonic youth’s style, would be a perfect fit
I absolutely love the sonic youth version as well, it would be so good if he sung it in their style, sounds really dark and cool which I think he can pull off very well
TOP 10 COVERS THAT SAVED MY HEART
Exactly! When I first heard this cover I was going through a very rough time in my life and this was so healing.
This song w his voice really make me chill out wow what a legend
Same thing happened when Sonic Youth covered this "oh my god they ruined this song" It's a different take and this isn't a studio version you can't expect the same sound you are used to especially when someone like Gerard Way does it lol
2021, still gives me shivers when he says 1:31 :')))
Flashback to when I had to make a lyric video for my computer class and I used this song. When I had to present it to my class they all laughed when the song started playing. My poor teacher tried to make me feel better but the damage was done-
I’m sorry. I hope it doesn’t sting as much anymore. I had to do the same thing once, and luckily no one laughed at me. I can’t imagine how that must’ve felt. I believe you chose a great song.
I would absolutely love for this to be played for my senior prom’s slow dance... as if this would ever happen, but I just CANNOT get over this cover!
Kathy Heller oh no me too except I want to play it with my band at my senior prom lol... I’d be fine with it just playing though :)
I found this cover 2 years ago and am still obsessed with it. Big fan of the Carpenters
IM NOT OKAY MY HEART I FUKING LOVE THIS SONG AND GERARD AND MIXING THEM TOGETHER IS KILLING ME AND MAKING ME SCREAM CUZ ITS THE MOST AMAZING THING IN THE WORLD AND IM DYING
Estou a horas repetindo essa música e não consigo parar de chorar. É inexplicável a emoção que sinto escutando o Gerard cantar, ele não apenas canta, mas transmite sentimentos e uma imensa emoção.
Não consigo me conter, eu amo demais o Gee. 😭❤😍
Okay honestly everyone needs to stop. Stop labeling this "Oh it's for Frank!!!!11!! "
"OMG its for LynZ!!!!11!! "
We weren't in Gerard's mind when he sang this. Okay, we're not him. This is on like every one of their songs. Ship Frerard all you want, cool whatever, but we aren't Gerard Way. It was a freaking vocal warm up. Yes Frank and Gerard had a thing. Gerard stopped loving Frank, Frank got married and had kids. It was over. But chill out okay?!?!
Addict Queen I love the way you say that they were dating so matter of fact. It is a beautiful thing
I don't think they ever really stopped loving each other....do I think they still are dating or whatever??no does gee love lynz and Frank love jamia? absolutely....but If you love someone like that you don't ever really stop loving them....they will always hold a place in your heart...and that doesn't even mean in a romantic way....ik they still love each other even if just as friends
I- I don't think we can state they did have a relationship nor were in love. It is possible but we don't actually know...
Anyway I agree with the rest of the comment.
it's hard not to see frerard when i watch videos. the kisses, the brushing next to each other on the spot or passing by, the lick, the biggest smiles on earth after them. in pictures, interviews, and what not, they way they look at each other is so heart racing. i can't picture something not being there. i believe they still have feelings for each other, they were besties. why did gee stop loving frankie? or, when. is that why they decided to mary other people? yeah. i'm a new fan, so i don't know the details.
No disrespect (I try to say this every time I read about Gee and Frank and their wife’s) Frank was the one who got married first. Not Gerard.
I love ferard but legit people need to stop forgetting about the fact that he has a wife.
We know he has a wife. Frank has one too. They have kids. Doesn’t erase the fact that it was real.
we know, but hey man, it's beautiful
Simple, you want to think this is for Frank, do it, go on. You want to think is for Lindsey, just do it. Stop insulting each other over that, we'll never know, maybe it's for no one. The people who insult Frerard an its fans are the same kind of human garbage the people who insult Lindsey just because they can get over a stupid ship that happened 14 years ago are. Just let each other be, as long as they respect people including Gerard, Frank and their families.
You ship something? Ok, but be mature about it, don't insult people over it, you can comment about it if it makes you happy, just respect the people who disagrees with you. Is that so hard to understand?
Ps. Beautiful cover.
Everyone needs to see this and understand: you can ship frerard, but dont fucking attack Lyn-Z. They are happily married with a 10 year old daughter. Imagine if you were a 10 year old girl with a famous dad and people were telling you that your mom and you both suck just because they wanted your dad to date someone else.
Rowan Scott yeh and I think frank is uncle to bandit
He didn’t sing this for anyone just a warmup for cancer
Exactly, I agree with your point completely. He may not have wrote it but whenever he sings about the guitar I immediately think of frank. And the "don't you remember..." It's like something in the past. But you can also see in just the way he sings it, the love he feels for Lindsey, too, how sweet it is. And respect both views. But one thing for sure is that this is absoloutely beautiful on a heart-melting level T~T
.... these are real people? not fictional characters. theyre both married with children.
Just Enjoy the song for what it is Not for who It is :)
Wish he recorded this on studio. We need more Carpenters covers by good voices around :) I love Gerard
Lindsey plays the BASS!
Tru
@@ammoquetzalkali2420 the bass IS a guitar too
I don't think thats true, he didn't even meet her(for second time at project revolution) yet, but it is confirmed that he sings this to her when shes sad
MCR IS BACK • isnt bass a guitar
@@ammoquetzalkali2420 Finally, THANK YOU
Imagine be her wife and he sing this song before to sleep while you hug him 😍❤
You are amazing ❤️
It's so beautiful! ❤💔
Julia Leśniewska PICKLE GEE!!!
Yes!
DIOS MIO! :o El mejor cover de los Carpenters que he escuchado en mi vida!
DUDE LIKE I'M CRYING BECAUSE THE LIVE PERFORMANCE WAS SO SWEET AND FRANK JUST LIKE GUSJDJAJJDSJHDHX
When I heard this for the first time it changed my life. I listened to it everyday. I wanted so desperately to feel this way for someone. And I do. Now. 7 years later.
Oh Gerard you. hopeless Romantic 💖💖
Amo demasiado este cover.
This is a song that will fit almost any style as long as you keep the melody consistent with the OG version. It is a beautiful song with so much passion and heart.
dam this comment section is toxic as FUCK does it really matter who he's singing it to or if he's even directing it to someone. that really matters is that he's singing with so much emotion and passion.

^^
This song always has, and always will remind me of Frerard. And that is thanks to the live show they did with it and the mentioning of guitars. It's hard not to think that Gerard covered this song and dedicated it to Frank. I'm not saying this is true, because it's most likely not. But either way it doesn't matter. People can ship whatever they want, as long as they don't overstep boundaries. Like for example, shoving it in Gerard, Lindsey, Frank, and/or Jamia's face's and constantly questioning them about it. We don't have to love Jamia and Lindsey, and we don't have to love their relationships with Gerard and Frank. We just have to be respectful and kind towards them. At the end of the day, music is a personal experience, it's different for everyone. So, if we want to interpret it as a love song covered by Gerard for Frank, let us. As long as we don't spread hate and negativity towards the artists and other fans who say otherwise, what's wrong with it? Nothing at all. So, yeah, this cover was probably for Lindsey, considering he sings it to her when she's sad and she's his wife. But why does that matter so much that you have to cut each others throat's out because someone has a different opinion than yours? God damn. People in the comments who have absolutely no regard for Jamia, Frank, Lindsey, and/or Gerard's wishes and feelings, and attack those that don't ship Frerard, know that I am not defending you in any way, shape, or form. You are scum. Those in the comments bullying frerard shippers for simply stating what they believe and not hurting anyone, you're no better.
Jamɪe Mɪsses you Oh, thank you so much for this. And at the end of the day this is just a song he used to sing to warm up his voice before recording for The Black Parade album. It was 2006, he wasn't even with Lynz yet and who knows if it could have been for Frank. People need to stop fighting over these silly things. They should just love the song and what it means for them❤
guys he was literally just warming up his vocals
Thank you for this, none of us could've said it better.
this is beautiful
get off youtube and do your homework

i want to sing this at my wedding or something like this is the reason i'm learning how to sing
I'm so happy I found this! Even though this is apparently a song he used to warm up with, it's still really beautiful.
Stab me in the heart and it will be less painful than thinking this song is maybe for Frank. OML, it's 2021 and the heartache I get from Frerard never fades away.
The best cover i ever see of this song.
Congrats, this is amazing.
Sorry this a reply to a 2 year old comment, but only recently found this awesome cover. I just wanted to say I agree with you, but also consider it a tie with Luther's amazing version.
3:37 "I really do"
That shit was I c o n i c
I imagine Gerard singing this to frabk at their wedding on the stage :))
Not against Lindsey... I just have an rp like that and that's what happened there lol))
Oh, that's so cute!!
This is so raw and beautiful
Gerard sings this to Lindsey all the time and honestly their such a cute couple.
Just beautiful, love his voice,
All of u saying this is a cover for Frerard but ha jokes on u Gerard sings this to Lindsey all the time :)
Ah greetings fellow tumblr child, and thanks for in one swift move pushing all the Frerard peeps out of here
That so cute wth
that’s adorable:”)
he also sang it and kept looking at frank, but yeah thats friggen adorable- also Hi.
Found u jordyn
I still listen to this
so this is how the intro of helena come from "Long Ago"
iLove this cOver of the sOnG...gerardz bAck
i don't understand why a lot of the comments are saying it's not good or his singing is bad? he sounds so beautiful????
Wow frerard feels
I may have to use this in my fic that I'm writing
I love Lindsey and Jamia too
Frank and gee are still good friends so that's all that matters
Волшебство какое-то) Новую песню слушаю и кажется, лучше не бывает, и так с каждой)
Maybe not pitch-perfect or much more than a warm-up exercise, but this version of the song... as a gay male, it resonates with me that much more since it's sung by a man and it's not clearly directed to a man or a woman. The emotion of this version really accentuates that, even if it's not technically perfect; I feel the pain of the speaker as he addresses his beloved, I feel that sense of romance and passion tempered with raw emotion.
I'd gladly listen to this on a recording.
Me having the advert “Why are you listening to music”. BECAUSE I WANT TOO MCR BABY!
Okay you guys. Like this song is not about Linz or Frank. It's a cover you know? Also if you like to imagine it's about Frank, (the cover) you do you. But just remember it's fiction not truth. And i think it's very cute that he is singing this to Linz sometimes. That's so lovely x3
This sounds so amazing, Gerard shows so much emotion! I love it!
my comfort song
Ok so I know this was just a warm up but I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY OMG
Beautiful
How have I only just found this?
Ikr?? Absolutely amazing rendition!
I must say it... I just listened to the original after this. This is infinitely better.
I think you could sing any songs and sound awesome 😊 x
OMG I never knew about this, this is one of the most beautiful moments in my life 😍 I love The Carpenters and MCR
THIS IS A THING THAT HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?! AHHH
when i heard the intro i thought careless whisper was about to play
como no había escuchado esto antes, no puedo estar mas enamorada de Gerard
la grabación es del 2006
HOLY FUCKING FRERARD!!!!!!!
This is amazing!!!😍😭👑💘✨🎀🔥
Gerard, never stop being talented.
Omg Superstar is one of my favorite songs from The Carpenters, but Gerard Day did an amazing job covering this. He's my favorite artist from my favorite band MCR who sung my favorite song and I didn't even know it lol.
"Gerard Day" ✨😭✨
oMY THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL MY MOM LOVES THE CARPENTERS AND OFTEN SINGS THIS ITS TRIGGERING MY HEART WHEN I SAW THAT GERARD MADE A COVER OF THIS OMG
This makes me want to drink water and be a better person

I can't find an hour version so I can fall asleep to it 😭😭💕
You can put it on loop in settings!!!!

Isso fez com que eu esquecesse de tudo por um tempo
