"Feels Like Home" Linda Ronstadt

[MrMansterdawg]

I noticed on the picture at 2:30 and 4:20 that she's got a diamond on her finger. Is that the one she supposedly got from George Lucas?

Moved me to tears inside... thank you so much for posting!

[gasmeter1947]

Beautiful song from a beautiful creature.

[ronstadtfanaz]

Linda sang this to me (and thousands of others) in a Phoenix appearance. It gave me chills. It was even better live if you can imagine that.

[youngmindedman]

@ronstadtfanaz I think if I had heard Her sing this in person, it would have made me cry, literally.

[ronstadtfanaz]

@youngmindedman I felt like she was singing the song to me alone. That's how good she is. And it was an emotional experience. She pours her heart into every song. No star trappings or illusions with Linda. Definitely a "feels like home" person.

[WeCantAffordThat]

Great cover but I can't help but feel like it loses something when she sings it. Her voice is perfect don't get me wrong, but it's missing something Randy's version has... can't quite put my finger on it.

[monkeycarz]

@WeCantAffordThat It might be in the phrasing,...in Randy's version on Faust she puts less space between the words,...and in this version the words are so mechanically spaced, it somehow loses its energy. Randy's version, she really feels it, where here, she seems like she has sung it a few too many times.

[crisycat21]

yup....best vocals for this song by far

[gaz141]

when Linda starts singing "if you knew" so gut wrenchingly beautiful, takes my breath away

[aknowneemus]

great song , but i think randy owns it. In more ways than one.

[tombone63]

Superb. She owns it. Emmylou's backing is otherwordly. Of course. I was going through different versions of it and this one is incredible.

[Psifonian2]

Thank you so much, Cait.

[iw32]

This is dedicated to a girl whom I love very much.She doesn't feel the same but that's OK,I guess...That's life,right?

[alangillie]

Wonderfull

[Suziesational]

Bonnie Raitt's version is undoubtedly the best. So heart wrenchingly emotion, sung with such deep feeling. No-one will ever better Bonnie's version. Prefer it with less instrumental that this version.

[greeneyedstone42]

One of Randy's finest compositions, performed by a superb vocalist.

[phogwood545]

Linda Ronstadt is the most amazing female vocalist ever, her voice is like velvet

[Lindawatcher]

@phogwood545 Boy that is no kidding! About puts me to sleep on the softer parts!  so soothing!

[iw32]

I used to think that Bonnie Raitt sang this song most beautifully but Linda Ronstadt's version is even better!

[bluestreakbuck]

I would have a hard time choosing Randy or Linda's version, they are so different and unique, Randy sings with so much feeling but Linda's voice is heart wrenching and haunting, sorry love em both

[SgtLucySilverhammer]

Thank you so much! I thought i would never find this. Lovely

[gillsteve]

thanks thanks THANKS

[redsfanstu]

"Feels Like Home" has a bountiful array of incredible versions all over You Tube, and why not, it's just a really a well written musical composition! But, I always find my self returning to this site because of Linda Ronstadt, it make me feel like I'm coming home! Linda outdid even herself on this, it's just fabulous! Thanks and kudos to catman916 and You Tube, for both the upload and space to put it!

[atavener]

Randy Newman's version is better. Sorry

[Boit0321]

I love the mature voice of Linda Rondstat singing this song. Neil Diamond introduced me to it and he's great, but nothing beats Linda.

[MsChrissyAngel]

This is by far the best version of this song.

[RockyTheEagle]

Randy Newman is much better.

[susankhamilton]

I am devastated.

[tokitten]

It just always seems to me that no matter how much I love a song by the original artist, Linda Ronstadt just adds an element that makes me love her version. I feel the same way about covers done by Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross and Patti Labelle.

[GwenoraUpson712343]

If you wanna download this mp3 goto audioripit doht cohm.

[HealingFawn]

Linda's version is absolutely beautiful and touches the heart with emotion...especially when you have found that special someone in your life. Neil Diamond has another version which is very good, as well.

[ronstadtfanaz]

If you think this is great you should experience it by Linda in person. I just about melted in my seat. Wasn't expecting all the emotion it pulled out of me. Definitely one of her best.

[adcan45]

@ronstadtfanaz Lucky you!!

[tenabloke]

simply...........lovely

[Seva06]

G, thanks for bringing me home.

[watchingtelly]

Oh, what a lovely song! I don't want to get into a 'which version is best' match, but wanted to point any who haven't seen it at the Bonnie Rait version, and the stripped-down Randy-at-the-piano version. Let me know if you're interested and can't find them. The best songs sing themselves.

[freddie1206]

wow!!

[kaladist]

Linda's version is a true CLASSIC.

[bowstrokes1]

Thanks for posting this video. I've been asked to play this at a wedding on my violin and its so nice to be able to hear it. Of course I heard it years ago but to be able to hear it fresh. I'm looking forward to playing this.

[terrajor]

this is the original and best version of this great song,, we LOVE YOU LINDA

[jtr10]

Wow, this song brings up some memories...Great song, but God, the lyrics and the tune just refuse to let you forget them...

[sainglain]

Crystal clear voice - best female Pro version I've heard

[tiegang2002]

Finally find it! Haven't heard it for years but couldn't forget it! So classic. Many songstress sing this song, but this is the best. ;)

[bunty777]

BEAUTIFUL SONG GREAT SINGER

[bluestreakbuck]

wow, what an incredible voice

[wmjohn76012]

So many have tried to do this song but, she nails it. Thank Linda your the bomb! Your voice saved my life when I was 16 years old and had attempted suicide. I heard you sing Desperodo and I came out of that state of mind and have not ever looked back.

[9erfandex]

Of all the versions of this beautiful tune, IMO this is THE ultimate! Thanks to: You Tube for the available space, catman916 for the upload(including some rare accompanying visuals), AND TO RANDY NEWMAN FOR THE COMPOSITION, AND TO LINDA FOR HER LONGEVITY! You have all done quite well! R.O.S.!!!!!!!!

[unija7]

this is our song :)

[TheTrucker38]

to rankin383 I hope you find yourself a home my freind because the same thing happened to me 13 years agoBut don,t lose the hope for better times

[TheTrucker38]

the best version ever

[rankin383]

Sure makes me wish I had a home somewhere. The best version is right.

[Nosfera27953]

Thank you for posting this. One can only listen to the other versions for so long...before one yearns to hear the best version.

[catman916]

I have heard other versions and agree. This is the best. She makes it her very own.

[MiraPotter]

Love this CD

[bettyjoyceashley]

This was our song.  BJAB

[rileypam]

This is from Randy Newman's rock opera Faust. Bonnie Raitt sang it there, and Linda did other songs, some of them heartbreakingly beautiful, but unfortunately not on you tube.

[bootface]

Bonnie Raitt didn't sing this song in faust, is was Linda's character and Bonnie played her best friend who sings 'life has been good to me'

[rileypam]

@bootface You are right and I don't know why I said that about Bonnie. She does a great job in the opera too, but this is Linda's all the way. There is something about it that grabs the heart and the throat. I love this song, and have always loved Linda. And I think Faust ought to get produced by somebody. That Randy.....

[SakaPC1]

@bootface Wrong...Bonnie sang it on the Faust soundtrack

[Fegen]

One of my favorites by Linda Ronstadt.

[catman916]

It is a great song and a great performance.
