I played a lot of Ray's music for my wife when she was in the hospital for the last time. Today marks four years to the day that I lost her. This song speaks to me in a way that I can't put into proper words. I miss her so...

Thank you for this beautiful song Ray, today 9.20.23. A month ago my younger brother was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and I was with him when the doctors said he had a four to six week window in which to live, ones of the hardest moments in a person's life to hear those words, the following day my brother and I were sharing stories of our childhood and loving memories of our Mom and how she made us laugh and always appreciated being outside with family and friends, my brother started to cry when heard this song for the first time, I said I was going to see Ray in Wallingford Connecticut, and he said please get Ray singing this song and play it for me, my brothers in the VA Hospital in West Haven. I will iPhone this song and play it for him after the show, the cancer has him in the final stages, but I promised him and I will play him this song that gave him peace in these final weeks. Thank you Ray, for writing songs that are truly meaningful to so many people.

Oh man what a touching story, may you continue finding comfort in this song, you will reunite with your brother in the next life!!

[@marccossette1849]

Wow, the whole album is accoustic, simple and deep. Very colorful and full of emotion... . One of his best in recent years, in my opinion. Wow. A real gift to the soul...it made me cry more than once.Thank you so much Ray. Had the chance to meet you and chat with you a bit at an outdoor show in Vermont. You're genuine, exactly like your songs. One hell of a guy. Bless you for the heart felt songs. Your music has made a difference in my life. Thank you.

Beautiful feedback, Man

[@sweenal.8346]

agree 100 percent, wonderful

[@lizcilliers]

You are so right, Marc. This track in particular made me cry. The lyrics remind me of my dad when my mom passed away. He said that the nights were the worst, and then to wake up alone was even more difficult. He is also gone now, and I still cry, especially with songs like this gem. Ray knows just how to tug at our heart strings.

[@marccossette1849]

[@sharonpeppers3341]

#RAYLAMONTAGNE #MONOVISION This is one of the finest albums of music I have heard this year. I do not know how I missed this exceptional music in 2020, when it was first released. Ray, you are without question one of the most gifted songwriters of my generation. It is a true pleasure to listen to your music. Your music is so soothing and comforting. It's as comforting as hot chocolate on a cold winter's day #EXTRAORDINARY 😀👍👍👍👍🎸🥁🎹🎻🎸❤️💖💜💙💚🧡💛

Oh wow! Tears flowing. Really makes me miss my precious Mom who passed away only 3 months ago. I was her Primary Caregiver and she was suffering, but I didn't want her to leave. We only have one Mother and mine was the best. I thank God for a Godly Mother who taught me well. I love you most, Momma and will see you again someday. 💔😢🙏🏻❤️😘

[@cary3022]

Simple Thing, Well Get Through are my favorite song to date, Trouble my fav album. Hey, hope your boss knows that you are doing a great job with Ray's social network site. This tune you attached is a nice track. What makes Ray's work of interest to me; it is not just the voice and the fine musical arrangements, the touching lyrics - over all it is the quality of vulnerability and soulfulness that make him special.

[@LewisBavin]

This is one of the most breathtakingly bittersweet songs every written. I don't really know this guy, I'm from UK and he isn't well known here, but damn this hits hard.

[@YuritziAmaro]

He´s back, He´s back!!

[@jennysatterfield7427]

He never left

[@rickmenasco322]

The widower was in love with the widow. He was convinced she loved him as much as he loved her. He was looking to make a life together. She ultimately was looking for a way out. He went all Cortez and was setting fire to the ships. Instead, she was lighting a match to the bridge that connected them. It's been 8 months and he still wonders why. He grieved the loss of his lovely wife. He now grieves the loss of the lovely widow. He's been moving forward but now knows it's time to move on. It's time that he gets on that highway to the sun. Surely he'll find someone heading in the same direction.

[@lisavance9750]

Perfection 🦋✌️🧘‍♀️💗🙏🏾

[@rickmenasco322]

And he did. A beautiful, delightful, godly woman. Patience, bettering himself while continually moving forward finally paid off.

Me and Ray share a similar story correct me if I'm wrong. He picked up a guitar quit his job on inspiration of another player "stills" I sold what I had for my guitar at 16, taught myself rays trouble album. I play ll the songs for freinds even played shows as a kid with his covers and inspiration. Now I have my first son he is 7 months old I am mid thirties and he is obsessed with guitar. See how the spark lives. He loves ray - narrow escape. I can't tell you what rays music has done for me.too much to describe. saw him on my 19th birthday alone cause all my friends we assholes. At Richards on Richards in Vancouver before they demolished the venue. Once in a lifetime
