longer

"Longer" is a song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg and released in 1979 by Full Moon Records and Epic Records. The song can be found on Fogelberg's 1979 album Phoenix. It was also included on his 1982 greatest hits album as well as various other retrospective and compilation recordings.
Fogelberg, who had released more rock oriented songs throughout the 1970s, jokingly described "Longer" in the liner notes to one of his retrospective albums as "the song that put me on the elevators." He wrote the song while vacationing in Maui, "lounging in a hammock one night and looking up at the stars. It just seems this song was drifting around the universe, saw me, and decided I'd give it a good home." Accompanying Fogelberg's vocals is an acoustic guitar (played by the singer) as well as a flugelhorn solo by Jerry Hey.
Lyrically, the song compares various events ("Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens") with his emotional attachment to the one he loves ("I've been in love with you").

    Nest thermostat can no longer turn on heating

    About 4 weeks ago my nest stopped being able to turn on or off the central heating on my glow worm 38cxi. As the boiler looked otherwise fine I figured it was the nest heatlink itself which has been working fine for 3 years. I managed to organise a replacement heatlink from Google but on...

    Longer thread shower waste

    I ordered a McAlpine 90mm x 50mm shower trap for my walk-in shower. The base will be 18mm ply with the shower tray bedded in mortar on top. I don't think the threads of the top half of the trap are going to reach the threads of the bottom half when I assemble everything. I really need more...

    Vaillant ecoTec 418+ Taking Longer to Reach Desired Temp

    Have noticed over the last view days the process has slowed considerably. Normally, the boiler fires up soon after the room stat clicks in and it gets up to desired temp within a few minutes. Have noticed the boiler is much quieter when it does ignite (approx 10 mins after being switched on) and...

    Why do domestic boilers have longer waranties than commercial ones?

    I am contemplating of having 2 domestic boilers (35-40 kW each) for the communal heating (no hot water) of a 12-flat residential block that would replace a 50-year old 68kW boiler for the heating. The waranties for domestic boilers are much longer than commercial boilers. For example, a...

    Kitchen Mixer Spout No Longer Able to Move / Turn

    Hello, I have a kitchen mixer tap that is currently very stiff to turn from side to side (the spout part). If I do try to turn the spout, the swivel base that is attached to the sink also turns. Obviously I don't want to damage my sink so I never try to turn the spout any more, but it would be...

    Kitchen tap not triggering boiler

    I'm having a problem with my kitchen hot tap, in that it won't give me any hot water. There is great water pressure, and no problem with the water coming out, but the boiler won't kick in for it, and so no hot water. We have a combi boiler. Running a hot tap in the bathroom for a minute or so...
