Oh Timmy. Such a tragic loss. You left too soon but we are still listening to your lovely voice and watching your smiley Irish eyes. RIP.

THERE SUITING UP!!!

I have to say, I really liked the clever cinematography on this video. I know that's sort of something that typically goes unnoticed since the song is the main feature, but I thought the idea of starting on a single shot that splits into 5 shots and then remerges at the end worked really well.

rip Timmy Matley xx will always remember you as as Audreys skinny little brothèr with the 200 watt smile😊the choirs in heaven have serious competition! xx

Rip Timmy Matley. You had an amazing voice and will be greatly missed xx

Their harmony is perfect! Great job! Billy Joel would love this in my opinion!

Can't believe it has been 10 years. Still listening to it frequently

This tutorial on how to tie a tie is great.

R.I.P tim,gone way to soon xxxxx

Sincere Condolences to the Family & Friends of Timmy Matley who sadly passed away suddenly aged only 36 on Monday 9 April 2018. He was diagnosed with stage 3 Cancer 2 years ago but the cause of death is uncertain at this moment in time. He was an extraordinary Singer and Personality who always wore a beautiful smile and will be greatly missed by all. Our loss is Heaven's gain 🙏

The only way for our babyson (9 weeks) peacefully fall asleep with a smile on his face when he cries for hours. We all love this song, especially this version. Thanks ❤️🌷🙏🏼

Timmy's beautiful voice still echos in my ears and makes me tear up RIP Timmy your dearly missed

Rest in musical peace, Timmy. God takes the young sometimes - you were special.

This song hits different now, like a good different tho. RIP Timmy!

Lockie and Timmy were The Overtones, they're nothing without those two distinctive voices.....

Why. So much hate? The original and this cover is absolutely gorgeous

Billy's version was good but, this? This was mind blowingly stellar!

_The Overtones - The Longest Time: Teaching men who come across this how to tie a tie and much much more!_

Timmy u were cool guy sadley missed RIP timmy. SEAN ALEXANDER.

They make it sound like a Christmas song :-)

I am completely hooked on this band, everything about them, they have such raw talent, their voices blend so well and you can just tell that they are genuinely lovely guys...I don't know if they ever get a chance to read these comments but they deserve all the success they get because there's nothing fake about them and you can see they work hard :) I

Timmy Matley♥, oh my god, do I even need to say anything?♥♥♥

Suit + Timmy + Timmy's voice = heaven

Lyrics Oh, oh, oh For the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time If you said goodbye to me tonight There would still be music left to write What else could I do, I'm so inspired by you That hasn't happened for the longest time Once I thought my innocence was gone Now I know that happiness goes on That's when you found me, when you put your arms around me I haven't been there for the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall And the greatest miracle of all Is how I need you, and how you needed me too That hasn't happened for the longest time Maybe this won't last very long But you feel so right And I could be wrong Maybe I've been hoping too hard I've gone this far And it's more than I hoped for I don't care what consequence it brings I have been a fool for lesser things I want you so bad, I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time

Well done Timmy Matley, RIP cuz you will be missed so much and I am so proud of you where you come so far. We are all proud of you and I am your biggest fan and your no 1 fan of all time. Love you with all my heart Cuz xxxx

Their Acapellas are a delight to listen to - especially the one in Glasgow. Mesmerising harmonies. Love the Irish gent - Timmy

Omg the guy with the deep voice, Lachie I think, he's so attractive Jesus

Almost every-one claiming "autotune" has never heard a male choir sing before. Harmonics causes various different timbres to resonate from the group. I'm sorry if you're new to male choir music but this is what sounds are regularly produced, including live performances, as a test, listen to "The Blanks" live, they make the same timbres. There's a little bit of reverb in this that can help sustained open vowels sound better, but it is not the same thing as auto tune. Also, 1,000th comment.

A fantastic group. Such sad news they lost Timothy, i hope they carry on. Just love there harmonizing voices

LEGENDARY!!! their voice are like westlife

And the bass runs off with the girl in the end! Respect!

Timmy, I still can't believe that you have left us. My prayers go out to your family and everyone you have left behind plus the overtone family. Rest well in the arms of the Angels. You will never be forgotten​ and your voice will forever live in our hearts.

Lindas voces y armonía muy grata.Encantadora versión

I love this cover so much!!! I scrolled through the comments and discovered that one of the members have unfortunately passed away rip. Really sad...nevertheless absolutely love all of your voices. :D

People just forgot what real, good singing voices sound like. Since in the modern music industry it "hasn't happened for the longest time".

Some of the best vocals I've heard yet... Raw and crisp!!! 😍

Timmy matley reminds me of Matthew morrison. R.i.p you beautiful soul

Falling in love with these lately! I never thought I would be a doo-wopper ;) Timmy is gorgeous... as are they all, but him especially!

i could listen to this on repeat for days.. and omfg lachies wink.. hes just... perfect

By far, one of the best (and my favourite) cinematography of all time!!! Brilliant idea and uber entertaining. I've been coming back to this video all the time for 9 years!

Rip timmy matley your voice will be missed my condolences to your family and friends who will miss you. The band just won't be the same without you

when i heard the intro, i thought it was a christmas song.

R.I.P Mr.Matley , you will be missed.

You guys are awesome. Love your sweet, smooth sound! Don't ever stop doing what you love!

Timmy

wow, so many hatred. "i cant do such a thing and lets bash them" "i cant sing like this, lets just say that the use autotune" so many uncultured swine.. thats how acapella for male or male vocal chord sounds like ffs.

You guys are honestly amazing. Plus I love this song so like BRAVO GUYS.

I would imagine Billy Joel would be flattered to have one of his tunes covered.

I just learned how to dress correctly

Keeping going for the for longest time love it 2021

Bunch of haters in the comment section. This sounds pretty damn good. I think you're all just jealous

Dum dum dum Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time If you say goodbye to me tonight There would still be music left to write What else could I do? I'm so inspired by you That hasn't happened for the longest time Once I thought my innocence was gone Now I know that happiness goes on That's where you found me and When you put your arms around me I haven't been there for the longest time Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time And that voice you're hearing in my heart Ain't the greediest miracle of all It's how I need you And how you needed me too That hasn't happened for the longest time Maybe this won't last very long But you feel so right And I could be wrong Maybe I've been hoping too hard But I've come this far And it's more than I hoped for Who knows how much further will go on? Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone I'll take my chances I forgot how nice romance is I haven't been there for the longest time I had second thoughts all this time I said to myself hold on to your heart Now I know the woman that you are You're wonderful so far And it's more than I hoped for I don't care what consequence it brings I have been a fool for lesser things I want you so bad I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for the longest time Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time Oh oh oh the longest, for the longest time

my all time fav song

HIMYM brought me here =))

original>NPH's version>this version

everytime i hear this song i get shivers LOVE IT!!! xx

This track and 'so much in love' by the tymes are my favorite classics

This is weirdly festive.

Beautiful! They didn't change much at all! Billy Joel would be proud!

Love it!

love Mike's solo!

The guys on the far right kinda reminds me of Joseph Gordon Levitt

This is good but it would have been better in a bathroom

Prefection!!! I love it!!!

Can't believe I've only just discovered you guys you're amazing & I love your style of music & sound!!

It doesn't matter if they use any kind of editing software or autotune, this still takes talent to orchestrate and still sounds fucking gorgeous. Stop being asswipes and just enjoy this.

I NEED to know, how that thing is called, the second guy from the left is wearing around his throat

Amazing

This is too great to describe.

the guy in the middle messes up with his outfit. while tying his tie and straightening his collar, it remains bunched up throughout the remainder of the video. lol

Still not better than Ted and Barney :)

actually lovin this version xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

this is simply the BEST vocals i have ever heard......
