How Long (Ace song)

"How Long" is a 1974 song by the British group Ace from their album Five-A-Side. It reached No. 3 in the US and Canadian charts, and No. 20 in the UK chart.

Although widely interpreted as being about adultery, the song was in fact composed by lead singer Paul Carrack upon discovering that bassist Terry Comer had been secretly working with the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver. Comer returned to Ace in time to play on the song.

The guitar solo is by Alan "Barn" King.

Covers

In 1976 Bobby Womack recorded a version that appeared on the Home Is Where The Heart Is album

In 1977 Barbara Mandrell recorded a country/disco version of the song on her Love's Ups & Downs album.

In 1981 Rod Stewart covered the song on the album Tonight I'm Yours. It charted in the top fifty of the Billboard Hot 100.

In 1981 Lipps Inc. released a remake of this song which reached No. 4 on the U.S. dance chart, No. 29 on the U.S. soul singles chart, and No. 42 in Canada. In 2010, it was still in rotation on satellite radio. The track Timecode, released in 2004 by German techno producer Justus Köhncke, is built around the characteristic intro of the Lipps Inc. version.

  • Extreme Behavior

    Extreme Behavior is the debut album of rock band Hinder. It was released in 2005 by Universal Records to almost universally negative reviews, before going platinum in September 2006. All songs were co-written by Brian Howes, except for "Shoulda", which was co-written with Brian Howes and Social Code. The song "Running in the Rain" did not make the cut for the album, but has been played at concerts on their North American tour. Due to use of profanity in three songs, Extreme Behavior was the only Hinder record to receive a Parental Advisory label until the release of the deluxe version of All American Nightmare and their 2012 album Welcome to the Freakshow.

    Release

    The first single (and the song that brought attention to the band) was "Get Stoned". The album also contains Hinder's breakthrough single, "Lips of an Angel" which soared to #1 on the pop charts in 2006. The album's third single was "How Long", which was played on rock stations throughout the US. "Better Than Me" is the fourth single on Extreme Behavior. As of July 11, 2007, the album has sold 2,789,275 copies in the US. Despite not being released as a single, the song "By the Way" also had received airplay from several radio stations.

    How Long?

    by: Lifehouse

    Climb on top of all you despise
    It's a better view from the lies
    Two steps behind before I've begun
    Time stops to tell me all I could have done
    So, how long 'til the world will be completed?
    How many times will history repeat it?
    How long will it take, how long, how long?
    I want to go, will you show me the way?
    I'd rather be wrong than be deceived
    To thinking that I have believe
    That I can stand to be here on my own
    There's too many questions that we won't ask
    In hopes that this too will pass
    But how far down do we have to go before we know it?
    How long 'til the world will be completed?
    How many times will history repeat it?
    How long will it take, how long, how long?
    I want to go, will you show me the way?
    How long 'til the world will be completed?
    How many times will history repeat it?
    How long will it take, how long, how long?
    I want to go, will you show me the way?
    How long, how long, how long will it take, how long?
    How long, how long?
    I want to go, will you show me the way?
    How long, how long, how long will it take?
    How long 'til the world could be completed?
    How many times will history repeat it?
    How long 'til the words fall to the pages?
