Ray LaMontagne - We'll Make It Through (Official Video)

[@snatchbloock]

In June of 2020, I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. I have been in the fight of my life ever since. My wife, my high school sweetheart, and I celebrated our 56th anniversary this year but our celebration was dampened by the fear of the unknown. She is terrified of what I may have to deal with as my treatment has failed to keep my cancer in check. I have been a long time fan of Ray's beautiful music but it was only recently I found this song. One night I played it for my wife while we slowly danced in our kitchen, as our tears glistened on both our faces. We had been feeling so isolated as my disease progressed but for a moment, that moment, we were newlyweds again. Thank you Ray for such an important and magical piece of music.

[@cphbanfb]

Brave words. Please remember that love and pain are in equal measure. I really do wish you well. I also believe that we may all meet up again somewhere, somehow because nobody can explain what happens to our consciousness. You might, one day, meet up with a Liverpool lad called CP !

[@donnavorbach215]

I have read cancer is caused by parasites and can be treated very effectively by Ivermectin. Please research. I will remember you at Mass today!

I wish you with all my heart that you find a treatment that can help you, and that you can continue to be as happy with your wife.

[@joanieatherton5034]

This song reminds me of my son we lost to suicide in Nov 2020 we always made it through all of life’s challenges. He was an extra ordinary ER nurse for 20 plus years. He was very knowledgeable in whatever encountered. He loved the outdoors and hunting. He loved animals especially dogs. But most of all he Loved his children. He worked hard in life, he was driven to be the best at all he did. He loved his spouse, even when there were problems . He never wanted to give up, then one day was harder than the next and he couldn’t find the peace and the reality he was facing. He gave in once again to being replaced by someone else. Or replaced to live in the lies and torment of his decease PTSD from dealing with all he had faced. God knows I miss him beyond belief, but I pray he is living on in a place of peace and still sharing his medical knowledge and abilities. I Love You Son and Miss You

[@ronhammons9264]

Joanie, Sorry for the loss of your beloved son. I lost my baby brother to suicide 14 years ago. Depression was something he could not rise above, even with counciling and anti-depression medication. He was 45 years old and left a wife and three kids. I did not get the chance to say goodbye to him. At his funeral, his church pastor used Psalm 91 to relate how, if we seek God, He is there to love and protect us. At the time, it didn't make sense to me as to how this Psalm fit the circumstances of my brother leaving us. Now, I understand it was a message directed at those who loved him. I hope you read and understand what Psalm 91 is saying. It now brings comfort and hope to me as I read it daily. God bless you Joanie, as we wait to see our loved ones again.

[@joanieatherton5034]

It never leaves us even though I have a Daughter and My oldest Son who are grieving also there is not much help other than our faith in God to carry us on. Thank you for taking the time to reach out in a positive response. Gods Blessings to you !

[@devonsandner5362]

If you are listening to this song with a loved one hold them tight because a successful marriage is watching the other one die. My dad died 2 years ago. I've watched my mom pass away a little more everyday since. We exchange half of our hearts to our loved one and when they are no longer there they take their half back, leaving a giant void of grief behind. Truth be told, it's not going to get any better and it's not going to be okay. Your golden years are in your twenties and end in your late thirties.

well, he won the best contemporary folk album grammy for god willin' and the creek don't rise and beg, steal or borrow was nominated for song of the year. He's been nominated and won several other acclaimed awards for his music. They definitely don't play him on the radio enough but it's hard to say he hasn't been recognized for his talent.

[@IAmTheOnlyMatt]

You are all right. ❤️❤️

[@onthetrail506]

I think he has shaped his career exactly as he wants. He lacks the desire to be famous to be really famous. Look at his limited touring for a start. I saw him in Manchester at the Bridgewater Hall and he could have taken that style of performance to the top of the charts and beyond yet he turned his back on it. And good on him, I don't like his latest works and for that I also applaud him because he is not letting himself be stuck in one place. I was so excited for his collaboration with Dan Aurbach and was left cold by it, but again, he went int he direction he wanted. Gotta love an artist who says "to hell with what 'they' want, I am doing what I want".

This song is dedicated to my Beautiful Wife. When we started our life together, times were hard. Do you remember that $20 loveseat we bought after we just got married? My little Toyota was never the same after we hauled it home. We tore the floor and the walls out of our bathroom and two weeks later it was the nicest room in our little house. Storms and clouds came. So, we danced in the pouring rain. We replaced windows and tore down old gutters. We replaced radiators, starters, and alternators in our little cars. You worked two jobs and I stayed up late writing papers. You pushed me and told me everything would be okay. Had to replace the refrigerator, but had nothing to spoil. Then, July came and our air-conditioning unit retired. So, we continued to dance in the rain. Fresh cooked bacon, coffee, and our children's laughter made me feel like a king. So, I dug in deeper and pushed harder. You pushed even harder with that wonderful smile. Looking out the window now, my father passed away. I called to say that I needed you and you came right away. You told me everything would be okay. Struggling to make the light bill now, down to one car and one last prayer. Lilly needs eye surgery. It's January now, our stove, hot water heater and clothes dryer has gone out. You look me in the eyes and tell me to hold on. So, we continue dancing in the pouring rain. Tears roll down my cheeks as I sit on our little puke green loveseat with a 45 pressed against my head. I can hear my children laughing as they play in the yard. You sit across from me now and tears roll down your cheeks too. I can't hear the clock on the wall behind me. The sound of my children playing and birds chirping in the trees has stopped. You look at me, your voice beings to crack as you say, it's going to be okay, because it's suppose to rain later on and you owe me another dance.

[@TheRainbow]

@@loganbrooks1409 absolutely. Reminds me I guess of my childhood, which would be early 80s. Kids didn't have to worry about checking in, you came home when the street light came on. You were gone all day. Parents didnt have to worry. No cell phones, computers, video games. Lay on the ground and look at the sky.... wish sometimes I could go back 🌈❤

[@loganbrooks1409]

@@TheRainbow I too would have been near that era. Those times stood in the air like fireflies. They seem to leave me with a glow all these years later. I think back on them and do not necessarily want them back. I simply dont want them to dissolve. However, at times in this age you get lost trying to overcome the complicated nature of humans and of relationships, and of emotion. I guess in some way I feel I was maybe born a few decades too late. Maybe a century or two too late? But the beauty of what you speak of and of what we both know as our past. It is a beauty that can never fade fully. Lets hold on to them. Maybe our paths may cross some day. When they do, a simple glance may be just enough.

💔Sadly, there are poor souls in the world who’ve waxed bitter, and cold, lacking the sensitivities they may’ve had before the rains came…. …meaning, they were hurt so deeply that when loved ones made efforts to comfort them, were not only inconsolable, but were also insulted having mistaken someone’s efforts for being seen as weak, and from there, begin building walls up to protect themselves, and be perceived like the Rock of Gibraltar strong, instead of embracing pain the natural way, going through the process of healing by feeling it, and with time, often one is able to re~open their heart to love once again… The trouble with putting walls up to purposefully prevent our heart’s from being broken again is to be emotionally crippled unable to feel passion, inspirations, excitements, grief, joy, sadness, hope, love, and all the rest! Without feelings, it’s as if you’ve already died, and over time, without loving and being loved, the heart waxes mean, and bitter, and cold like a stone that feels nothing…. So anyone who hits the 👎🏻to Ray’s beautiful heartfelt songs, sung by his uniquely comforting voice, should only be pitied since they’re probably carrying around a very heavy, hardened heart…. 🙏🏻💔🕊

Some things make you smile... some make you cry. You remember things you’ve forgotten. You look forward to things ahead. You are grateful you are onboard.

LyRiCs: "We'll Make It Through" Had our share of the pain Of the clouds, and the rain Lean on me, and I'll lean on you And together, we'll get through We always do We always do Hello, you're scared 'cause you can't see the light You toss and turn through the night Holdin' me, and I'm holdin' you And together, we'll get through We always do We always do We always do Where do you go, when there's no road to follow? Faces look hollow, only strangers to you, now Where do you turn, when this livin' starts to burn through Layers that you learned wrap around your heart somehow I turn to you I always do I always do I turn to you Hello, you're scared, can't see the light Gotta believe it's gonna be alright Lean on me, and I'll lean on you And together, we'll get through We always do We always do We always do We'll make it through We always do We always do

Thank you for the lyrics. Years later, you helped me. Blessings to you. ❤️

[@rachelbarr11]

I absolutely love this song, you can feel it to your soul. And if that's any advice I give anyone, it's "we'll get through it, we always do".

[@brandoncolebar1755]

I wish my beautiful wife was alive today so I could play her this song.... I miss you Ashley, my love, my soulmate, my best friend. RIP 02/28/93 - 12/23/15

One of the most underrated musicians of our time! Love his musical storytelling! Thank you, Ray...we will get through 🙏

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

Not one fan underrates Ray.....i'm one of them..i totally rate him.

[@EllieUchiha17]

I’m so glad he’s back. Ray’s music helped me through depression in middle and high school. To this day, even. This dropped at the perfect time too. I felt like I was losing my mind

[@mindfield7]

Kiara Moten glad you made it through, you will again. Best to you.

[@PerfeckAngel]

[@Susanne382]

God Bless You Kiara ♥️🙏

[@princec663]

God Bless You...

[@cheerchika86]

Ray's music really is so powerful isn't it? (I've loved his music over 11 years now, so crazy!) Glad it got you through. You have a lovely smile!!

[@kevinsargeant5885]

This a a most wonderful song, perfect lyrics and amazing backing.

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

For Me, This Song Is Both Spiritual & Natural... 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥 Spiritually 💥 It's Like God Is Saying To Me... Don't Be Scared... Don't Be Afraid... Lean on me... Hold Onto Me... And together, we'll get through We always do We always do When You Can't See The Light... When There's No Road To Follow... Don't Be Scared... Don't Be Afraid... Lean on me... Hold Onto Me... I'll Make a Way, Where There Is No Way... And together, we'll get through We always do We always do 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥 Naturally 💥 It's Two People Who Are Partners, SoulMates, Committed For Life: Through Good Times or Bad, Happy or Sad, Healthy or ill, Rich or Poor... And The Roles of The Partners Could Alternate & Reverse: Sometimes One of The Partners Is Stronger: Mentally, Spiritually, Emotionally... Othertimes The Other Partner Is Stronger: Mentally, Spiritually, Emotionally... Whoever Is The Stronger of The Two Is Saying: Don't Be Scared... Don't Be Afraid... Lean on me... Hold Onto Me... And together, we'll get through We always do We always do When You Can't See The Light... When There's No Road To Follow... Don't Be Scared... Don't Be Afraid... Lean on me... Hold Onto Me... And together, we'll get through We always do We always do 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Ray LaMontagne Lyrics of The Song 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Had our share of the pain Of the clouds, and the rain Lean on me, and I'll lean on you And together, we'll get through We always do We always do I know you're scared 'cause you can't see the light You toss and turn through the night Holdin' me, and I'm holdin' you And together, we'll get through We always do We always do We always do Where do you go, when there's no road to follow?

[@kimmybolender2397]

Thankyou for helping me and my soulmate stay together and not give up. We are living in our van. Lost everything 🙏

[@Bosworth123]

I always thought people were lying when they said songs made them cry. Not anymore.

[@craigstewart3149]

Heard this on a TV show. My wife and I are now blown away by this song, and this man's talent

[@Mikescullymusic]

I’ve leaned on Ray more than once. Thank god for this man.

[@Briemerald]

Right 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@nonoise3727]

I had the privilege to meet this man back in the day. One of the most surreal experiences ever. Though the conversation was about illinois corn fields i realized how much i care for his music and think he is a beautiful person.

[@franktonnemaker3964]

My 91 year old mother is entering hospice following a sad hard life and a fall. Thank you Ray.

[@abeardneglected]

I did not expect this song to impact me the way it did.

[@montserratcosp2027]

It goes directly to the most deep of our soul.

[@RayRomanMedia]

😢😢😢

[@lisaboje3640]

How have I never heard of him until today? What a beautiful, soothing voice he has.

[@laurakae1007]

If you're listening to this video in 2022 just want to send you good vibes and lots of love ♡ and especially to those who posted in the last couple years with their struggles. You're thought of wished all the best!! XO

[@Sandra-Ross]

A cold wet, superb afternoon and a strong dark beer in hand. The current mess around us all makes this sublime music even more joyous. It's perfect Ray. Thanks mate. From Byron Bay, Australia.

[@annenjagi3277]

Just heard this song from the tv show 'Virgin River' I had to look it up.

[@margaretbarr7705]

Thankyou x

[@lori5404]

Earlier in my life, I battled post partum depression that nearly killed me, quite literally. Even that didn't prepare me for growing old alone though. It seems at the lowest periods of my life, I turn to you Ray. We've shared some dark, desperate moments...im making it through this one, I promise. ❤

[@raylamontagnemusic8200]

Hello Dear, how’re you doing today? It’s nice meeting you on here!

[@wdldrose5468]

I can hardly bear the beauty of this....

[@alisagremore9051]

I just found this and it is 2022;

[@animmortalperspective4256]

This man is a direct conduit to the other side; a true conjurer.

[@karengill3930]

Every time I hear this song I think of my husband and I. So true and beautiful. I dedicate this song to Jimmy. My love.

[@dannymeyer3256]

Yes we make it through it, my love is strong even when weary.❤

[@camillestempowski8642]

Keep going, I’m still struggling.

[@charlesjernigan6765]

[@reeceespieces1014]

When I listen to him I always find myself looking up to the sky, searching the tree tops and clouds.

[@Yalambarr]

Relief for lockdown...

[@amylinnell6748]

Battling life's storms, this song serves as a gentle harbor. In moments when I feel hollow and isolated, it wraps me in a warm embrace, whispering assurances of hope and healing into my soul with each note. Thank you for always being there, Ray. Your gift heals and shines through vastly.

[@JeffReilly]

I was in the midst of the darkest days of my life and then I heard this song and suddenly I knew I'd make it through.

[@peggymicsky8607]

Such a beautiful live song to share with one you love. "Had our share of the pain, of the clouds and the rain. Lean on me and I'll lean on you and together we'll get through. We always do. We always do. I know you're scared. Can't see the light. Toss and turn through the night. Holding me and I'm holding you. And together we'll get through. We always do. Gotta believe it'll be all right. Lean on me and I'll lean on you. I'll lean on you. Holding me and I'm holding you and together we'll get through. We always do. We always do. We always do. Where do you go when there's no road to follow? . . . I turn to you, I always do. I turn to you. . . Lean on me and I'll lean on you and together we'll get through. We always do. We always do. 💞

[@zildian1983]

I saw him in concert last night. He explained this song is for his wife who has a muscle disease (I can't remember what it's called). I cried as he performed it, and I'm not one to cry. Amazing artist!

[@JR-nl4bb]

That harmonica, my God! This guy is everything today's music isn't and the reason why I love his music so much!

[@peanut042]

Lost my nephew a month ago and we would always be there for one another. I could count on him, he could count on me. Boy do I miss him and this hits so hard cause he's gone and now it's just I.

[@Oregon197]

Just discovered this song recently, and it is so beautiful... My husband passed away recently from COVID-19, and I think of him listening to this... My precious Darryll, gone too soon... We are supposed to be leaning on each other, still...like this song, expresses- to get through. We had over 30 years together, I miss him so much, the pain is almost unbearable.

[@williamramsey7602]

This is such a pure to heart song, After 25 years of loving one another and being together we can't live together right now because of an illness thank you covid 26 years now and the love between us is the same a lot goes on a route a marriage of 25 years and and you deal with all of it and you stay together you don't find someone else

[@LdyPhantom]

Man...he's a legend...and that harmonica is like home for me

[@BobEulberg]

Absolutely, his harmonica seems to have some power over me.

[@Wtfever2.0]

My feelings exactly ❤️ Is it not just extraordinary?

[@raylamontagnemusic8200]

Hello Dear, how’re you doing today? It’s nice meeting you on here.

[@georgemorrison1522]

4 years later. It’s 3.13 am. In the U.K. sleepless night for me listening to music on KZbin.

[@mwingopoe7]

Hi, from the states☺️

[@Midnightgeek782]

This feels like sun ray from window in a cold winter day.

[@sharonpeppers3341]

#RAYLAMONTAGNE #MONOVISION Listening to your music is like watching a painter like Michaelangelo or Rembrandt create a masterpiece. You are a gifted poet and musician 😀👍👍👍🎸🥁🎹🎸💙💛💚🧡💜❤️💖

[@Lilywonder330]

Came across this song just when I needed it. My husband has been sick since August with Covid pneumonia and is in a skilled nursing facility. Haven't hugged him or touched him since August. He's getting nearer the finish line but it's going to be a completely different life. This song brought me comfort. Thank you.

[@sexton610]

I hope he is ok.

[@gordonb7386]

Your comment made me shed a tear because i lost my husband(this is his account) from alcoholism in 2020.please keep us updated.

[@Lilywonder330]

My husband got through Covid and learned how to walk again and was almost close to his normal self. Then life came and took another turn on us. He was just diagnosed with moderate to severe dementia. I'm heartbroken. We've been through so much together. This just breaks my heart.

[@Kimberlyanne-uu7yu]

I love this song. I used to tell my son that if we stick together, we'll get through anything. We did. As long as you love each other, you can get through everything.

[@kerrymccreery5760]

Yes keep your son by you always x

[@williambuss718]

Anyone else come looking for this from virgin river

[@winterhomestead]

Yup

[@davidwilliamevans7014]

I love the way that he has used the imagery from the Great Depression linking that with what we are now experiencing with Covid19. And then he writes the words and a melody that are timeless - a beautiful song and optimistic about the future.

[@janetgalasso]

I’m thinking it might be earlier. The clothes look like from the 1918 Spanish Flu times.

[@navigatingwithnana]

@@janetgalasso Yes, correct

[@Sunny25611]

Janet Galasso Yes. I have similar photographs of my Grandparents and their immediate families who lost more than half of their siblings during the 1918 pandemic.

[@KitH76]

This is the most beautiful song I have heard in ages. Thanks Ray :>

[@TakodaRA8]

Here from ear biscuits. So sweet.

[@ISEEKSPACE]

Sounds like his old school stuff. God, I love this man's voice. His lyrics. His look. Everything. He just makes me feel everything.

[@sherryl-annegill1067]

We always do.. Shared this tonight with a friend. Thank you, could not have said it better!

[@laurenldcchase403]

I do not know how I missed this guy in my almost 70 years . I could say the same about Chris Stapleton, Leella James, or Joe Bonamassa. I close my eyes and I am on a rocking chair on a summer day in New England. Thanks great work!..................................

[@suzanneloades6884]

Hello from Adelaide, Australia on a beautiful sunrise.... yes his music is truly beautiful and calming. I'm looking out over the water on my front lawn ... it's so peaceful and my thoughts are of this troubled World of ours right now ... but we'll get through, we always do. ✌

[@justtam321]

I said I wasn't going to cry today. An ode to my husband.

[@peggymicsky8607]

Crying 's good. Cleanses the soul. 🌹

[@luciabernreiter8483]

Beautiful song

[@raylamontagnemusic8200]

Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here

Of course we'll make it through, Ray LaMontange! As long as you're around making heartwarming music 💓
