The thing that I've come to acknowledge after performing in front of people is that you are ultimately giving people a space and time in which to experience. Not just the songs but themselves. I think it's beautiful that people are comfortable enough to have a conversation with one another. Not trying to control the crowd but giving them an environment to be.
LOOOOOVE the new album!! Haven't picked it up yet? Well you're totally missing out :) But you can listen to the whole album on the First Listen section on NPR . org Enjoy!!
It's the passion that makes good music, old Ray here has heaps. And then there's the poetry and he's got that too. beautiful. one of my favorite artists and an inspiration!
God I really wish this version of the song had developed. This is incredible. For guitar players - is he just switching between an F and C? With a capo on the 2nd fret obviously.... This seems like it would be a lot of fun to mess around with on your own. I just dont have a guitar nearby.

In Ray's original version of You Are the Best Thing (which can be found in a live version on youtube), he sings "it's the woman in you that makes me wanna be with you for always." so yes, there is a correlation between this song and You Are the Best Thing. please apologize to mel
There are not a enough bullets to describe the contempt I have for the embryonic numpties who talk through a song or even worse.. who "whoop" or "scream" during a performance .. do you think he or any artist appreciates this .. when they are "in the moment" ... to hear this nondescript pointless white noise ruining their performance ... it started in the States .. but now this screeching from the talentless amoeba has spread everywhere ... Note to self : ..dont go armed to a open air concert...
@morklind You're at a live concert...what do you expect, theatre etiquette? And I'm sure this didn't start in the States. Talentless amoeba...hmmm. Great that you can spell amoeba correctly but that doesn't make you a valued critic. As a performer I've appreciated that someone in the audience has been "in the moment" with me. If I wanted silence I could stay at home and sing for myself, in the moment, and play an applause track afterward. You get what you pay for.
@ossman52 What a bizarre response! .. I used to perform myself that's why I hate it so much. .. You hope you can transport the audience with you .. how can anyone be in the moment with you when they are just getting off on being there and screaming OVER you... OR what you are playing is so f*cking loud anyway the type of music doesn't lend itself to any emotional journey. I pay to go HEAR the real thing .. and not dickheads ruining my experience.. seriously WHY the f*ck do they do it? ..
The song is "You Are the Best Thing." I saw him recently and he said that this was the original version, but when he went to record it, it ended up becoming the version that is now on his album. He should go back to the studio and record it this way!!
I started listening to Ray at the age of 20. I instantly wanted to learn music. I bought a guitar. This spaked a brand new thing in me.
I am now 24 and own all different kinds of instruments from guitar to keys to drums.
Music is my life.
Kids, forget drinking on street corners, or how many girls you can finger. Forget expensive clothes and jewellery. Realise there is so much that music can give you and that it can help to shape you into an intelligent, thoughtful and interesting person.
This was a precursor to you are the best thing. This and the original share lyrics, which in turn shares lyrics with the studio version of you are the best thing. However, by the time it was transformed into the studio version of you are the best thing it no longer had any lyrics in common with this unreleased version.
There are parts of the song that sound a little like "Cowgirl in the Sand" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Parts of it are also similar (although it's not the same) as the original "You Are the Best Thing" that he played on Friday in Minneapolis.
this was the original version of the song "you are the best thing" which is the opening track of gossip in the grain. ray said in an interview with npr that the album just didn't feel right and this was the track they chose to change up. it's a shame.
I have the original version of "You Are The Best Thing" its litterally just him slowly finger picking while singing what is almost exactly the version we know now, the verses are a little different but the chorus is pretty much the same. This is not a version of "You Are The Best Thing"
My favorite Ray song next to Jolene. How can such a beautiful song sung with such emotion and passion not make it onto the new album!?! I love you more than anyone else--but you really hurt me too. Please don't keep such great songs to yourself.
Ray LaMontagne - You are the best thing. I actually like this version the best of all 3. The one on the album isn't anything like the 2 acoustic versions.
bad news kids. I've heard a pre release of the new record... and this song (albeit a different version of an onld song) did not make it to the new record :o(
Capo on the 2nd fret, begins with Am, switches to F, with a thumb playing the low E, this way your ring finger can modify the G string while strumming (note switches between open and the second fret), the chorus switches to a C chord, with the low E on the third fret, same strumming pattern, back and forth between the C and F chords, eerily beautiful.
Ray. Please, please, please release this same version of this song on your next album! I love so many of your songs, but this just might replace Jolene as my new favorite. Raw, honest, timeless, beautiful.
Found it! Supposedly, the song is called "You Are The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me". If you Google "The Woman In You Ray LaMontagne", it's the 8th listing on a site called Chord! Request. The complete lyrics are included by a poster on a discussion board.
The poster is already aware that it was 2006 at Austin City Limits. It might be a long shot, but hit up his MySpace page with the question and see if you get an answer. The official page is maintained either by him or a close friend, I believe.
Anyone know the name of this song?? Is it available on a CD?? I can not stop listening to this song. Gotta have it! Please let me know how to get it!!
wow. i love this man. pure talent. brings tears to my eyes. cannot wait for the his next cd. does anyone know how i can see his tour scheldue? please come to new england!
From what I've heard this is a song that he's putting out on his next album. I saw the song list and it's actually listed as unreleased. Sounds like he's testing it out on the crowds, but I'd definitely say this might be his best song ever. I went to the festival as I'm one of the few true Austinites left and this song blew me away. I liked him before, but this song made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Definitely a love making song.
i cant stop listening to this song,where can i find and whats the name, its not your the best the best thing, its a different song, is this a cover for somebody????somebody please let me now
I really want to here a decent version of it so badly! Are you sure that its called "You're the best thing"? Arent they like completely different chords?
its the song just the music is like 3 seconds later than what the video shows- this version is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good i love ray!! :)
I don't know the name of the song, but if you want the chords it looks like he is going between three chords Am, C (with low E string), and F (using his thumb to fret the low E string).
What song is this? I can't find it anywhere, and unfortunately the grainy quality of the captured video makes it too difficult to figure out the precise chords Ray is playing. Anyone know where to download it? The eerie slide guitar and strained melody of his voice has this desolate beauty to it, I can't get it out of my head.
This song by far sums up how i feel about my girlfriend. We're going through some ups and downs right now, sometimes getting to the point where we do not even want to talk to each other. That being said we still find some way to hold on to the only thing we have left, our true love for each other. I guess Ray says it best, for always will I want to be with her.
Hope things have worked out for you, mate. Been there. There's no such pain as that caused from within love. Always look at the star that brought you together, don't curse the rocky ground that it guides you across...
Ignore my earlier post. I found a link for Ray singing what I think is a slower version of this song (well it has the same title a few other people mentioned). It's nice but not as brilliant as this one - it doesn't have Ray wailing over a slide guitar.
Either the timing on this video is incredibly off, or this is a song placed over top of random live footage of him. In any case, If anyone has any info on this song *actual name, somewhere where i can aquire it* it would be incredibly appreciated.
Does it scare anyone else how much power the voice of one man can have?
Although this song hasn't been released yet, I've heard a few versions and so far this (live) version is my favourite - there's something about the slide guitar that's so haunting and Ray's voice too of course and I can't wait to see him live in October. Anyway, as a new user I'm not sure if I can post details of where you can download the song from so I'd be happy to send the link to anyone who requests it.
I sent you a link. You have to check your mail. Log-in then click on the envelope symbol at the top of the page next to your user name. I only explain this incase you weren't aware - it wasn't obvious to me.
it's called "you're the best thing that's ever happened to me". Ray played it a couple of times at his uk gigs (a softer version, but i'm pretty sure it's the same song. I think it's off his new record whenever that comes out)
Ray has the knack of imbuing simple chord progressions with such sorrow and heart, making them sound so new to my ears. Can anyone give us the origin of this song? Ive googled lyrics, limewired possible titles etc, no luck.
Such a shame about the quality, but im better for having heard it.
I think the song is called "you're the best thing that has ever happened to me". He played it at a few concerts in the UK this year. search "ray lamontagne you are the best thing" on youtube and you'll find another version of it. Hope that helps. I think it's one of his new ones!! can't wait!
does anyone have ANY idea if he's ever recorded this song? what's the name? it's by FAR his best song hands down. if anyone has any answers let me know!
the greatest son ive ever heard

That being said we still find some way to hold on to the only thing we have left, our true love for each other. I guess Ray says it best, for always will I want to be with her.

Hope things have worked out for you, mate. Been there. There's no such pain as that caused from within love. Always look at the star that brought you together, don't curse the rocky ground that it guides you across...

I think that it's entitled "You are the Best Thing"

Ignore my earlier post. I found a link for Ray singing what I think is a slower version of this song (well it has the same title a few other people mentioned). It's nice but not as brilliant as this one - it doesn't have Ray wailing over a slide guitar.

Either the timing on this video is incredibly off, or this is a song placed over top of random live footage of him. In any case, If anyone has any info on this song *actual name, somewhere where i can aquire it* it would be incredibly appreciated.
Does it scare anyone else how much power the voice of one man can have?

Although this song hasn't been released yet, I've heard a few versions and so far this (live) version is my favourite - there's something about the slide guitar that's so haunting and Ray's voice too of course and I can't wait to see him live in October. Anyway, as a new user I'm not sure if I can post details of where you can download the song from so I'd be happy to send the link to anyone who requests it.

there is a post of a slower version of this song at the beacon theater in nyc, but the words are a little different.

it's called "you're the best thing that's ever happened to me". Ray played it a couple of times at his uk gigs (a softer version, but i'm pretty sure it's the same song. I think it's off his new record whenever that comes out)

Ray has the knack of imbuing simple chord progressions with such sorrow and heart, making them sound so new to my ears. Can anyone give us the origin of this song? Ive googled lyrics, limewired possible titles etc, no luck.
Such a shame about the quality, but im better for having heard it.
Cheers

I think the song is called "you're the best thing that has ever happened to me". He played it at a few concerts in the UK this year. search "ray lamontagne you are the best thing" on youtube and you'll find another version of it. Hope that helps. I think it's one of his new ones!! can't wait!

lol. That's exactly what I was thinking, which is strange, because this is the first time I've heard him sound like Michael Bolton.

is it a cover? I think it may be new and possibly on his new cd when ever that comes.
