I heard this song on the radio once. I fell in love with it instantly. Forgetting to write down the name of the song, I soon forgot the name. After hours of searching for the song (knowing it was sung by someone named either ray, rea, or rae) I just found it. Funny enough, I was watching family guy, and Peter was at a Ray Lamontagne concert. Knowing the name sound familiar I looked him up. First search result: Empty, by Ray Lamontange. I clicked on the video, and immediately recognized it as the song I’ve been looking for for years. I’m so happy rn.
She lifts her skirt up to her knees Walks through the garden rows With her bare feet laughing I never learned to count my blessings I choose instead to dwell In my disasters I walk on down the hill Through grass grown tall And brown and still It's hard somehow To let go of my pain On past the busted back Of that old and rusted Cadillac That sinks into this field Collecting rain Will I always feel this way So empty So estranged? And of these cut throat busted sunsets These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary If through my cracked and dusty Dime store lips I spoke these words out loud Would no one hear me? Lay your blouse across the chair Let fall the flowers From your hair And kiss me With that country mouth So plain Outside the rain is tapping On the leaves To me it sounds like They're applauding us The quiet love We've made Will I always feel this way So empty So estranged? Well I looked my demons in the eyes Lay bare my chest Said do your best To destroy me See I've been to hell and back So many times I must admit You kinda bore me There's a lot of things That can kill a man There's a lot of ways To die Yes, and some already did And walk beside me There's a lot of things I don't understand Why so many people lie It's the hurt I hide that fuels The fire inside me Will I always feel this way So empty So estranged?
- 그런데 오빠는 항상 무슨 노래를 그렇게 들어요? 이번에도 대답 안하고 그냥 출발할거죠? 그죠? - 들을래? - 네!!! - 음... 꼭 깜부기 불들이 식어가는 장작들 틈에서 마지막으로 타들어가고 있는 것 같아요. 그 불꽃들이 떠도는 곳은 공허하고 아무것도 없는 곳이지만... 그래도 꼭 그렇지마는 않은...?
This song holds a unique and powerful place for me; it means so much. Every time I listen to it, it feels like a gentle unravelling of all the emotions I rarely let surface. It is a soulful and hauntingly beautiful song that captures the raw, introspective journey of confronting loneliness, regret, and longing. LaMontagne’s raspy, emotive voice gives each line a sense of vulnerability and authenticity, making it easy for listeners to feel connected to the depth of his emotions. Musically, the song is simple but profound, with gentle acoustic guitar strumming that creates a reflective atmosphere. The lyrics poetically explore themes of searching for meaning, grappling with inner emptiness, and yearning for something more, which makes it relatable for anyone who’s felt the weight of life's struggles or experienced emotional isolation.
This song was introduced to me on my way to my own rock bottom and shook me to my core. A decade later it now reminds me that the only way to the other side of the valley of the shadow of death is through it. And that there is no pain from my past I that cannot be healed by the cleansing power of grief
The funny thing is I remember hearing this song for the first time in a 2011 movie called detachment. What's even funnier is I'm watching this movie again for the second time at this very moment and decided to leave this comment.
Don't give up. No matter how many times you've been through hell and back. There can always be better days, and moreover, better happiness. Don't give up. No matter what you're going through or have gone through. You can always find a greater happiness than you've ever known before.
I feel the same, Stephano. I try to go on because I'm lucky enough to have people who care about me even though I don't deserve it. I live for them. Perhaps one day, I can live for myself. Please don't give up.
This song helped me get through my worst year, 2019. I don't listen to it regularly, but it has a special place in my heart and I keep coming back to it when I'm either feeling empty and need something comforting, or when I'm lost in the crowd of modern city life and need some alone time.. or when I'm hit by a wave of past memories.. Thank you, Ray, for this song!
#RAYLAMONTAGNE #TILLTHESUNTURNSBLACK The guitars and orchestra are incredible. This is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. It takes you to a different plane. You just float away in peace. It's so relaxing. I feel like I'm floating. Ahhh 😀👍👍👍🎸🎻🎹🥁🎸💙💖❤️💛🧡💚💜
I listen this song on different youtube channels .. just to push like button. I dont want to see so less likes on his songs.. May be people have no appreciation of pure talent or may be i am FOOL in this world.
I always liked songs like that, so calm and like breathing at the same time, I found Ray cause I was looking for this typical of song who make me feel a vibe unexplained!!
It's when you're demons start to get boring that life takes a different turn & you do end up in an entirely different hell for awhile. I understand that very well just could never find the words to explain it till now
I have been looking for this song since last 2-3 months. I used to listen it 3 years back but then I forgot about it. Something from inside wanted me to look for it again. Finally found it in UA-cam Liked videos 😅
When when I first heard this song, I didn’t knew that I’m going to always feel this way, 8 years down, I still feel that way. depression baby. I have embraced it. i’m always gonna feel this way. Well, at least as long as I’m alive because I have always felt this way so I kind of don’t even know what it would feel to not feel this way. It sucks man, but it runs in my family. My mother doesn’t like me this way, but it is what it is man I’m tired of this shit.
#RAYLAMONTAGNE #TILLTHESUNTURNSBLACK Ray, you are a wordsmith and a music maestro. The strings are so pretty, esp the cello. Young brother from another mother, you are blowing my f**king mind. Your music is beyond description. It's awesome dude. It's spectacular 😀👍👍👍🎸🎹🥁🎻🎸❤️💖💙💛🧡💚💜
#RAYLAMONTAGNE #TILLTHESUNTURNSBLACK You are a poet Ray. This is a work of art. Art painted on a beautiful canvas. You are a master painter. This music has a ethereal feel to it 😀👍👍👍🎸🥁🎹🎻🎸💙💖❤️💛🧡💚💜
I still remember 2 years ago walking alone 4 AM in the morning from a village to town, going to the counter for my journey home (12 hours journey). I felt so empty and lonely as I'm leaving the place where the best thing ever happened to me and knowing the fact we can't be together 🥺. I still miss her to this day, it's been 4 years since we met.. Man, I really love her.. it makes me happier watching her and whenever she's around but sure there are things we can't control 💔 Let it Be! Well, I was listening to this song throughout my journey!!! This is one of my favourite songs ❤️ Thank You fir this Song!
I believe in my heart that Ray must suffer from some sort of mental illnesses. The way he describes pain and loneliness has to be the result of personal experience.
I guarantee people who haven't experienced real tragic loss and abuse growing up addiction and being they bad guy in many eyes well I guess mental health would be the first thing to label a man that sings about it . With me he is kin folk and we been down thouse roads that only a blues man can explain for you all to understand . He is nothing like your label I'm sure of it
About a year ago I discovered this song along with the movie detachment being 16 at the time the film hit me a truck everything I thought that was my struggle was actually just the ego and pride of a kid that thought since he could do things without trying too hard he was special and when he couldn’t anymore he was nothing but garbage behind the dumpster this song the movie and overall the time I’ve lived from then and now allowed me to figure out a lot about myself and life in general it’s crazy how movies and music can do to a human being
Just finished detachment... Oh man it was beautifully done, directed, I mean how they ended it is how you somehow end up feeling, and this song, this song is a really good one, thanks
My fav song by my all time favourite Ray. Been listening since 08 and your music's gotten me through the hardest times in my life. Now it's (mostly) smooth sailing and I can listen with a new appreciation. Thank you so much for continuing to make music, I have it all. Best in life to you Ray! 🖤

don’t know how many times i have heard this song 🎵everytime after listening for 5 to10 times on repeat,,,leaves with the feeling ,thinking won’t be coming back 😔😔but not been able to detach myself 🙏🏻

happens to the best of us
If it matters it will search your soul out.
There are women who will give their soul for this song and a bottle of wine. But it must be done in the dark of night and early morning before dawn.
What's needed finally comes to the seeker.

"미래의 골동품 가게"라는 한국웹툰이 있어요^^ 그 웹툰의 128화에 거북이오빠가 이 곡을 미래와 들어요~ 그래서 저도 들어보려고 왔는데..
참 좋네요ㅎㅎ
여운이 남아요^^
She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows
With her bare feet laughing
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell
In my disasters
I walk on down the hill
Through grass grown tall
And brown and still
It's hard somehow
To let go of my pain
On past the busted back
Of that old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field
Collecting rain
Will I always feel this way
So empty
So estranged?
And of these cut throat busted sunsets
These cold and damp white mornings
I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusty
Dime store lips
I spoke these words out loud
Would no one hear me?
Lay your blouse across the chair
Let fall the flowers
From your hair
And kiss me
With that country mouth
So plain
Outside the rain is tapping
On the leaves
To me it sounds like
They're applauding us
The quiet love
We've made
Will I always feel this way
So empty
So estranged?
Well I looked my demons in the eyes
Lay bare my chest
Said do your best
To destroy me
See I've been to hell and back
So many times
I must admit
You kinda bore me
There's a lot of things
That can kill a man
There's a lot of ways
To die
Yes, and some already did
And walk beside me
There's a lot of things
I don't understand
Why so many people lie
It's the hurt I hide that fuels
The fire inside me
Will I always feel this way
So empty
So estranged?
Thanks !
Thank you!
What’s the meaning of country mouth?
@@sray7910 I think it means natural. As without makeup, nothing fancy. Just authentic and simple.
Sözler mükemmel
- 그런데 오빠는 항상 무슨 노래를 그렇게 들어요? 이번에도 대답 안하고 그냥 출발할거죠? 그죠?
- 들을래?
- 네!!!
- 음... 꼭 깜부기 불들이 식어가는 장작들 틈에서 마지막으로 타들어가고 있는 것 같아요. 그 불꽃들이 떠도는 곳은 공허하고 아무것도 없는 곳이지만... 그래도 꼭 그렇지마는 않은...?

대한민국에서 미래와 현오와 함께 듣습니다~ ^-^)b~
I remember asking myself that question "will I always feel this way", and I'm so glad the answer was NO. Such a beautiful song.
Good .I'm close
This song was introduced to me on my way to my own rock bottom and shook me to my core.

And that there is no pain from my past I that cannot be healed by the cleansing power of grief
Beautifully said.
Good deal! Take care.
I feel those same feelings.
Amen, I agree with you, and as the saying goes, "If you're going through hell, keep going!"
Same!
To all the empty people ,
Everything gonna be alright ❤
This is what it feels like to be empty. I don’t know if I’ll ever fill this hole in myself. She was the best thing I came across.
The funny thing is I remember hearing this song for the first time in a 2011 movie called detachment. What's even funnier is I'm watching this movie again for the second time at this very moment and decided to leave this comment.
This movie is the best movie i have ever watched!
If you get a chance to see Ray live, DO IT. He somehow sounds better live than the recording.
Totally agree! I've seen him 3 times and I will never stop going to see him live whenever I can.
I have tickets for September, him and Gregory Alan Isakov together. My dream concert. I'm so excited 😊
this is my favorite song in the whole world
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell
In my disasters - Kinda what we all as a human beings doing....
This song gives me a nostalgic feeling, but I do not know of what. And that's when I know how great the song is.
I can't take it anymore, I get tired during those times, everything is unfair, I wish I could only have been born in another time
Don't give up. No matter how many times you've been through hell and back. There can always be better days, and moreover, better happiness. Don't give up. No matter what you're going through or have gone through. You can always find a greater happiness than you've ever known before.
don't give in king! hardest times will create the strongest men.
I feel the same, Stephano. I try to go on because I'm lucky enough to have people who care about me even though I don't deserve it. I live for them. Perhaps one day, I can live for myself. Please don't give up.
This song helped me get through my worst year, 2019.

I first heard this on the film "detachment"
I felt it when Erica got dragged off to foster care.
"It's the hurt I hide that fuels
The fire inside me"
현오 노래 취향 뭐야뭐야~~~~~ 꽤나 섬세하고 잔잔한 노래가 취향인 사람이었구나.........
막..매탈락 같은거 듣는줄(?)
This is one of my most favorite songs. Its just so pure. And Ray's voice, I could hear it all day long
I never can stop listening this song, I am going to grow old with this.
Just as long as your not old before your time.
@@DaFiresMen I won't, I will try my best
Man this song is good
#RAYLAMONTAGNE #TILLTHESUNTURNSBLACK The guitars and orchestra are incredible. This is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. It takes you to a different plane. You just float away in peace. It's so relaxing. I feel like I'm floating. Ahhh 😀👍👍👍🎸🎻🎹🥁🎸💙💖❤️💛🧡💚💜

An incredibly profound song that so many can relate to. And it's in those things that people can find solace and healing. The great gift of music.
10000% Right on. This is EPIC LYRICS

It reminds me of times I would do anything to relieve
🖤 I will always remember or never forget
i lived in an abondoned vehiocle for a week and this song reminds me of that. i did it for the experience of being homeless.

Masterfully written song and sadly Beautiful close to the heart soulfully thoughtfully. BRILLIANT 👏
Still here JD. Listening to all you can give us unforgiven. You are a voice that comes to us through the Lord. So far no word back from him.
The way I feel today EMPTY !!!
somewhat of a masterpiece

Thank You fir this Song!
“There’s a lot of things that can kill a man, there’s a lot of ways to die” this song just hits different!
Ive been so incredibly in love with this song for years. It awakes my soul every time I listen to it.
I heard it in Detachment, and now I can't stop listening to this piece of art
Goosebumps....
The movie Detachment brought me here
too
The song takes you on such vivid sensory journey.
Seeing Ray live is and always will be cherished memory.
I have no words dude this song is the translator of my feelings🖤
I am happy smiling like I have been never been sad before so empty that my soul floating through the clouds
Ray LaMontagne 🌻
누구보다 내 삶 안에서 치열하게 싸우며 지내왔던 날 들이 하나의 춤으로 펼쳐진다.
introduced to this gem by "detachment", grateful for it
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy
I believe in my heart that Ray must suffer from some sort of mental illnesses. The way he describes pain and loneliness has to be the result of personal experience.
Just being a human who chooses to really be aware of the world around us may be enough. Life gets rough at times along the road.
I guarantee people who haven't experienced real tragic loss and abuse growing up addiction and being they bad guy in many eyes well I guess mental health would be the first thing to label a man that sings about it . With me he is kin folk and we been down thouse roads that only a blues man can explain for you all to understand . He is nothing like your label I'm sure of it
Instant tears. Beautiful. Profound. This song never gets old and never fails to hit home.
one of my favorite songs ever. never gets old. absolute perfection
Cried and held on to my sister at Red Rocks listening to this song! Magical

My favorite scene in Detachment
This long is beautiful and sad
For All the Fondness of a Frozen Lake
Happenstance, an Unable Turn
Eyes wide looking far into the blanket fog into the horizon
Flight path emblazoned with the glow of a warming dawn
Sharpened mind, tuned to a welcoming season of love
Unable to turn upon the words of impending doom
Iced up lake, a welcoming home
Silent nights for the one wish groom
A one room cabin as comforting tomb
Hoping for the numbness to last for twenty seasons of lonesome moons
A promise made, a promise in keeping, never too soon
A secret that had long been leaked, a twenty years song
Alas, alas, comes that day
When all that has long been known and none too soon
The dense air sinks and the pulse too and soon
Frigid bones sinking deep below the frozen tomb
A heart, a mind, warmth of blood, had risen into the ethers, not long beneath that sinking moon.
A blanket of white ... thick sheets of ice, a lover's tomb
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves...
Haunting lyrics so many I’ve met feel this way. Great artist👍❤️
5Cents, I don't expect you be whole. I expect you to be open.❤
Breaks me
Touched my heart ❤️
