Nothing Ray later did comes close to his demo albums and Trouble ❤️

🤘🏻🙂 👉🏻 REST EASY N.P.

What my brother do to you to deserve that man come on man thought we were chill

And these are his throwaway songs. Jeez.

Ray's voice just gets me right here ♥️ you know. 🤠🤟

damn this song is so good

I still can’t believe he’s borderline embarrassed about these albums

It’s so sad that you can’t hear this anywhere

❤️🎶💯

Flipping incredible

Here before it blows up!

That happened to me today

this song has been stuck in my head for the entire week

Most people go Skinny Dippin at night…..Ha! Good for you Ray!

i clicked on the link for this, thinking it was new material. Was encouraged that Ray was embracing the music i discovered him by and now it makes sense that it is early stuff.

OMG, how have never heard this before.... So in love

Anyone know where there's a copy of his first album Introducing Ray Lamontagne, long shot I'm guessing 🥺

Thank you ❤💯👍

What's so great 🙄🥱

Thinkin About You <3

I love Ray, he's gotten me though so much! How am I just finding this?! Thank you for putting this up :)

I need the San Francisco Men's Choiral group to crank dat Souja Boi...

Still Can't Feel The Gin, Ray trying to figure out the right harp key :)

Where has this been in my life? Only album I have not heard, instant love :)

Fucking favorite blues ever

My sister said she never really paid attention to the lyrics of songs. I used this song to awaken her to the stories held within.

You

Still shake my head in disbelief that this amazing man sat behind me in English class <3 Way to go Ray! :)

RIP Neil - saw you in 2011, Epic concert. Amazing band and your lyrics were second to none!

*CCAA BOOTY PATROL*

Wish he would play some of this stuff live. Please Ray! It's so good!!

My best friend in High School favorite Rush song.💓💖💪💔 R.I.P. my brother Bart

Delinquent days are here again.

LYRICS How you wanna tag my style? I am so superior How you wanna hate a thing When you are so inferior? How you wanna mess... How you wanna mess my spotless interior? Oh, oh, let's just say You are not the destroyer Let's just say [In Norwegian:] Du er ikke den som ødelegger fitta I got my bright girl near me She's so much taller With a crisp endorsement From the C.C.A.A. Booty Patrol She's so meta Reference Stendhal Shares my strange urge To smash a window in every house on our block Delinquent days are here again How you wanna tag my style? I am so superior How you wanna hate a thing When you are so inferior? How you wanna mess... How you wanna mess my spotless interior? Oh, oh, let's just say You are not the destroyer Let's just say [In Norwegian:] Du er ikke den som ødelegger fitta I got my Georgie Fruit on He's a dark mutation For my demented pastime Giving replicators somewhere to go But we're authentic You can test my talons Against your cursive body The controller spheres have disappeared and it hurts Delinquent days are here again It's like to disappear forever But I'm not afraid There's two Gods for everyone One, two Gods for the beasts An hour dead Deflects our eggs on latitude 0, 1 degree, I trusted you No, don't explain Moving in clipped tempos, making Sad dreams of the flag appearing Crazy how the symbolism works Don't look at them

she's so meta

Thanks 🙏🏻

Thinkin' About You is a classic. A true summer delight

Prince on steroids !

What a treat , thank you !!! X

Why was this never released? Is Ray Lamontagne the Prince of singer-songwriters? Album after album full of stellar, unreleased material?

Discovery/Presentation are easily my fave parts of 2112

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 its 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 quiet mornings, I have grown weary If through my cracked and dusted 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 Laid bare my chest said "Do your best, destroy me... You see, I've been to hell and back so many times I must admit you kind of bore me" There's a lot of things that can kill a man There's a lot of ways to die Listen, some already did that walked beside me There's a lot of things I don't understand Why so many people lie It's their hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me Will I always feel this way So empty so estranged

Make part 2

where can i download this album?

Ready Player One brought me here. :)

I came here hoping that I'd get a glimpse of Ray's voice before it was fully developed. What a disappointment. It still sounds PERFECT!

I loved it when they did this shit when I saw them Kevin out of georgie fruit and everything whoaa whoaa

I'm so excited to find this here. Thank you acdcrocker523!! I heard this 4-5 years ago and was desperately trying to get my hands on it, even wrote his manager to plead with them to release it. :) Thank you again!!

Ray LaMontagne is gloriously gifted, a new-age genius for this wounded, suffering world
