Linda Ronstadt - Hasten Down The Wind Lyrics






She tells him she thinks she wants to be free
He tells her he doesn't understand
She takes his hand
And tells him nothing's working out the way she planned

She's so many women
He can't find the one who was his friend
He's hanging on to half a heart
But he can't have the restless part
So he tells her to hasten down the wind

Now he agrees he thinks she ought to be free
Now she says she'd rather be with him
Oh it's just a whim
That she's designed to keep him out there on that limb

She's so many women
He can't find the one who was his friend
He hanging on to half a heart
But he can't have the restless part
So he tells her to hasten down the wind
He tells her to hasten down the wind
He tells her to hasten down the wind

Linda Ronstadt Hasten Down The Wind Comments
  1. L.... W....

    It's Henley for sure.

  2. M.... L....

    chilly nite for a photo shoot

  3. f.... ....

    I admit I don't get Linda Ronstadt's magic -- I just don't hear it. for whatever reason -- but this is a fine performance of a beautiful song. I still prefer Zevon's, but she sings with a subtlety and sensitivity here that's quite lovely.

  4. j.... c....

    rappelle -toi cette belle époque - que de candeur et d'émotion dans ses si belles chansons de LINDA !

  5. J.... M....

    This simply cannot TOUCh the original sung by Warren Zevon and Phil Everly. It's absolutely exceptional. This feels a little empty.

    J.... M....

    It wasn’t produced right.

  6. b.... ....

    Definitely Henley.

  7. J.... C....

    The writer is Warren Zevon

    J.... C....

    Jeff Collins NOBODY GIVES 400 FLYING FUCKS. JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG DUMBASS

    J.... C....

    Wow, I didn't know that. Warren was a genius.

  8. J.... H....

    What an absolutely beautiful song. Linda knew how to pick the good ones to sing, didn't she? Remember this one like it was yesterday. I was 21 years old when this album came out and I still love it today.

  9. T.... H....

    It’s JD Souther not Henley

    T.... H....

    Timothy Horner it's Don Henley. I'm holding the album right now! Found the vinyl at Goodwill for 50 cents! Brand new with the vinyl in a plastic cover AND the original paper sleeve with lyrics, musicians, all credits. 50 cents! I was a junior in high school when this album came out. A classic. What a shame she cannot sing anything anymore due to her illness. Let us pray for Linda Ronstadt.

  10. R.... ....

    I think its not Don Henley, but J.D. Souther.

    R.... ....

    Definitely Henley. You can google it.

    R.... ....

    According to the jacket of her Duets album it is Don Henley

    R.... ....

    It is J.D Souther

    R.... ....

    Wikipedia does not even list JD souther on the album it does list Don Henley as harmony vocals but not on a specific song.

    R.... ....

    No, it’s Henley ... JD Souther did sing the duet of Prisoner in Disguise though, a song Souther wrote.

  11. m.... ....

    Prolly Warren's finest tune.... so beautiful here with Linda's version....

    m.... ....

    maynardmoleman NOTHING WARREN EVER DID WAS EVER FINE. IT ALL SUCKED. ALL OF IT. I HEARD SEARCHING FOR A HEART ONCE FOR ALL OF 15 SECONDS FROM WARREN ON UTUBE ONE DAY AFTER HEARING THE LEGEND AND ICON DON HENLEY'S VERSION ON HIS IHEARTRADIO STATION AND I COULD TO ANYTHING FROM.DON ALL DAY EVERY DAY. THOSE FIFTEEN SECONDS OF LISTENING TO WARREN'S VERSION OF SEARCHING FOR A HEART WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME NEVER WANNA LISTEN TO WAREEN AGAIN

    m.... ....

    @countrygirl country musiclover What is your problem?

  12. w.... ....

    I wonder if Don hit that back in the day.

    w.... ....

    no, she was involved with JD Souther back then, the co-writer of many Eagles songs, and former flat mate with Glenn.

    w.... ....

    I read her book, and she wasn't the trampy little, druggie that we all imagined back then. She has no reason to lie now. She really only dated 2-3 guys, and never used drugs.

    w.... ....

    SailorsGirl1957 she said in an interview in 2006 or so that she tried just about every drug but never developed a drug problem

    w.... ....

    Didn't she say she didn't inject drugs? Or drop acid? Or I could be dreaming, lol. @TJ Wash
