Ray LaMontagne at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards | GRAMMYs

[@Ecce2295]

"Did you meet your stars?" "No, not really.. I don't want to. Music is enough for me." Such a great guy, such a great guy.

[@SupernaturalLove100]

He isn’t celebrity obsessed like many others, he just enjoys the work. love that

[@Erin-uz2gf]

not a lot of people would get that kind of response

[@letsgomets07]

Goat

[@aletorriggino]

Haha this is fantastic. The juxtaposition between Ray and the douchbage in the chair is just too good.

[@NigelPhilipDavies]

Ain't that the truth?! Great comment ! 😁

[@Uzodesign]

Dang! Why he gotta be a douche bag? lol.

[@SupernaturalLove100]

The SHADE 🤣

[@Erin-uz2gf]

yeah I mean it was nice of them to show him every know and then since it was his interview

[@JohnnyF71]

Ray Lamontagne has this fantastic way of unintentionally exposing how frantic and vacuous the vast majority of media people are. While they desperately grapple for whatever they can get for themselves, he just floats through them and by them as if they're hardly even there. And they largely have no idea how to deal with someone as grounded as he is. He's the personification of mindfulness.

[@joelmiddaugh8229]

If you want to show disdain for something and still be graceful this is a Masterclass right here folks.

[@jdb89142]

Ray is the man, "The music is enough for me" what a quote, especially with all the hoopla garbage thats around at the grammys

[@kimwing4118]

such a humble man. Always stays true to himself.

[@Julie15gtc]

It's amazing how out of place he is there. They can see he isn't really cooperating... take a hint and cut it short! Love him! His voice just slays me.

[@fubaru1]

HILARIOUS! I won't pretend to know Mr. LaMontagne, despite my admiring his lyrics and the 'purity' of his approach, but when real and fake collide in such a cataclysmic fashion, you can't help but laugh. Ex. "I really like your top hat"??? Many years ago, there was an exchange between none other than Rob Zombie and one of the innumerable, bobble-headed VJs at MTV and it went down (believe it or not) even worse. The veil is such that we sometimes overlook the distinction between 'that world' and the world that most of us live and love, and breath in. "Say nice things and smile" seems to be plastered just outside of view of 99.999% of these backstage interviews and like anyone road weary and "far deeper than your average dolt," it seems all that Ray can do to remain engaged and involved while bizarre distillations (of nothing less than his childhood, influences, loved ones etc) let fly like so much pseudo-sincere, between commercial breaks 'filler.' The fact that the camera remains focused on everything but the subject of the conversation quite frankly brings the whole clip to another level of absurdity and ironically enough, beautifully corroborates Ray's suggestion that rock and roll and radio are these days sadly strangers. Darkly, sadly, hopelessly hilarious.

[@CampCarlsbad]

Brilliant observations.

[@SarB-kq8ik]

Well said.

[@trentphippen2732]

i really respect his genuineness and authenticity in the face of all the facades and showmanship going on around him. humble and true to the music within him

[@oliverandm]

Haha he doesn't give a SHIT about the Grammy's "ambivelant" - damn that was perfect! You could hear the switch in the tone of his voice when he said "it's uh.. Nice, it's nice"

[@TY-fs2qf]

How fitting to hear such a beautiful artist describing a real passion speak while footage of polished Hollywood fog is shot in the backround

[@lindalovesmusic9091]

Ray is on a completely different level.. PlEase stop talking at him 🤤

[@hibbardfeast4100]

I found you again

[@treypriv]

you gotta love how humble ray lamontagne is and how cocky the guy with the chair is.

[@mamalosunshine]

I love how he is so humble

[@tahsinsabah833]

I love it how he's so awkward and opinionated

[@TheJuliusJT]

@mosessumney I don't think he's awkward - he's just himself and not shallow at all.

[@PrinceGrey]

I'm on a Ray LaMontagne marathon, the fifth video I've seen him with a hat ^_^ he looks really good in hats

[@syedmorshedsiblirabbani6060]

I can’t believe that I have discovered your song just today, I loved your song right away and probably have become a lifelong fan. Your songs are just mesmerising!

[@JordansTake35]

When the most authentic man in music meets the most vapid clout chasing LA types

[@dyork423]

seriously, who the hell wants to see that fool dancing around on a chair when we could be watching mr. lamontagne being interviewed? you're the man ray!!

[@djjammnjake]

Totally agree! The very most beautiful,enjoyable and refreshing part of the interview,simply is Ray. Love ya brother,you're the man! ;o) Bow and a hand shake to ya! :)

[@michelle-h]

So humble, and doesn’t even want to meet the artists who influenced him. Such a great person! ♥️

[@ancientpathsmusic]

One of the greats.

[@joebartholomew82]

like speaking to ants. ray's lenses in which he sees the world is drastically different than the sheepish norm. silly reporters and media. leave him alone with your silly smiling questions and let him just play

[@magicdudegary]

Thank you Ray for sharing your gift uninhibited 🙏🏼

[@MrEblevin]

Glee guy does juxtapose, but it annoys me. I met Ray and his teenage son in my town in the Berkshires. Very humble. Very kind. Very brief. He said, "I like to lay low when I'm not touring." He also has a beautiful candy apple red coup hard top.

[@sydbandit7708]

That girl was weird with him, why do people love to pick? Just listen to what he wants to respond with.

[@SupernaturalLove100]

Why does she keep touching him? Lol Jesus so awkward. Judging by his disposition she should b able to discern that he’s probably introverted and not the lively type, the touching was weird, just ask the questions and stop tryna make him entertain the jokes 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@kingdomcitizenship5613]

She was a bit touchy with him, made him uncomfortable

[@CJWorth1]

very poorly shot video..but Ray is great!Great person,singer and songwriter!

[@unknownbrother273]

That lady was making Ray mad! Don't bother him

[@ticksspoon]

What a crappy pair of interviewers. Shame on them.

[@leobonek3204]

❤️

[@johnshorba]

Think of the stories everyone could tell if they could sing and “speak music”

[@yobhsiFehT]

@SnidtheKid My thought exactly! The interviewers are quite an odd juxtaposition too. Kinda gross, actually... :S

[@ClaudieFern]

@yobhsiFehT juxtaposition was the word that sprang to mind for me!

[@b.csplatbriancross7062]

Who is the dork on the chair? Ps ,i don't want to know.

[@canyonbeary]

why is he so much like me?

[@canyonbeary]

@cm. CG yes because you totally know me

[@liannehoenderboom1018]

the uninspired questions and interview though.... my god! everyone has asked those questions atleast a thousand times already, come up with something original for once!

[@Julie15gtc]

@funnorthwestboy He's married? damn... :s

[@djjammnjake]

...I find this quote somewhat annoying! I mean,if someone inspires you,then go ahead and be inspired. Should EVERY RIGHT! But if your inspiration comes from a different source,don't knock someone else's . That's not fair. And you feel that strong,then why don't you get into the public eye,so that you can share your story of who inspires you,etc... Til then ,please,quit crying!

[@jed6948]

Who is the female interviewer?

[@elevenart]

Ray is so sad :( Wish he could find that wild spark of Light within, he's so amazing.
