Bro, you are truly gifted. My brother in law suffers from PTSD as a result of being a Combat Medic in Afghanistan. He uses music as an outlet. I introduced him to your videos and he loves you. I don't think you realize how much of an impact your music and your voice has on people. Thank you so much brother.
Matt Stowell Please tell your brother THANK YOU...his service is very appreciated. I pray through music, counseling & support from his family/friends that he will find relief & comfort. Music is an amazing...it connects us & helps heals us. @Marty Ray You’re amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent & helping us heal from our past.
As a United States marine combat veteran music helps me remain calm. Your music can heal the soul. Keep doin what your doin brother. You have saved my life!!!
We are nothing but vibrations trying to express ourself through this material body! I feel your vibrations my brother! Thank you for sharing the love ❤️
Brother that is amazing. Nothing is better than a man and a guitar. No autotune, no electronics, real talent is when a man sits down with a guitar and moves people, you do that
I'm experiencing the feeling conveyed in this song in real life right now. Sitting here, a full-grown man of 40 crying, listening to it and wishing she would just ask for help.
Dude, How are you Not one of the biggest Music stars on the planet is beyond me. Your voice is just killa & the tone makes you want to hear what you will sing next. Count me as a fan.
I don't know how we just discovered this guy but I'm obsessed!!! It's rare to find true talent (his original songs are amazing, beautifully written & performed).
I found this because for the first time ever, I decided I wanted to watch covers of "Let Her Cry," which is such a beautiful song. I gotta say, I really like your style, Marty. Thanks for such a wonderful rendition.
God bless you Marty Ray, brother this is by far hands down my all time favorite Hootie song and you hit a damn GRAND SLAM! Your voice had to have been copied from none other than the lord himself brother cause you left me speechless, we love you bro keep up the golden voice!
More of my era of music... I'm 33 (Not sure how old you are) But all your songs are right up my alley... I totally remember crying to this song in highschool!!! You're pretty damn awesome!
Marty Ray I stumbled across your videos, and I've been hooked ever since. Don't ever quit doing this, you are a very gifted man. Thank you for sharing your music with us.
A true musician puts his heart and soul into every song he sings, even though it might not be an original. This is first time hearing this beautiful young man. But I'll listen to anything he sings. He put his heart and soul into it. Beautiful!!!! Reminds me of when a woman broke my son's heart and he put this song his in his show.
My 19 month old nephew passed away this morning after battling leukemia for a year. But me and him would listen to your songs. He loved to dance to them and other country artist
There are a lot of good singers on UA-cam promoting their talent, but there are only a few incredible singers and you're one of them brother! You have it in spades!
please, please do a cover of "Simple man"! your voice carries so much heart, soul and just love for the music that it's a must you do the world a favor and cover that song! I'm going through a stressful point in life and your music has really saved me....
I know this might be off or weird but me my oldest daughter going through tuff times we don't see eye to eye and not the most open person or sweet kind father but this song makes me think of her and that I too cry alot and wish things were different between us...
Hands down my favorite Hootie song. I love this cover. You put so much heart and soul into your work. It's an honor to experience the talent you share with us. Truly an inspiration to me.

Or the fact that he sang the wrong words in the first verse...any person that doesn’t know the “stipe’s not far behind” or know the reference doesn’t need to be singing this song. He’s also trying to hard.
Absolutely incredible version of one of the best songs out of the 90s singing this to my newborn son right now fighting through the tears lol you're gifted so beautiful

JUST FN BOTTS
I'm convinced that it's a secret cabal of terrorists and evil deaf people who down votes things like this
Or the fact that he sang the wrong words in the first verse...any person that doesn’t know the “stipe’s not far behind” or know the reference doesn’t need to be singing this song. He’s also trying to hard.
@Sam Mathis its mostly those people that cant grow a beard! 😂🤣😂 cant say nothin about this mans voice... so it must be the beard!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
