  • Best song on RESCUE ME

  • Love this song! Just heard it for first time in a movie" badland". Awesome independent move. Ray sings 2 of the soundtrack songs. The emotion of the songs meshes perfectly with the movies plot. I'm hooked on his songs. "Hold you in My Arms" is the other song and its even better. Fans must hear and watch the Awsome movie.

  • what a brilliant voice, and lyrics, i really love this song, perfection for the sad xxx

  • This song makes me want to lay in a field of daisies on a beautiful sunny day.

  • He looks exactly how my dad used to look. That fact and how beautiful the song is made me cry =')

  • THUMBS UP IF RESCUE ME BROUGHT YOU HERE !

  • @mefrini Maybe someone can enlighten me on why people bother exclaiming where they first heard something. . . the point is you heard it... you came here. Isn't that enough??? Not criticizing... Just curious...

  • @Lizardking2021 i too dont know ,you know it's just that i get used to this kind of shit ,dunno why i'm doing it but i do it :S ,i know i didnt help you so much xD

  • @mefrini Amen to the Brotherhood/Sisterhood of all us who love Rescue Me! :D

  • @SmileItRainsInRohan amen :D dude i'm in 5th season cant wait to be update !

  • @mefrini LOL....really?Dude thats awesome!Im watching the last season now and its sooo amazing!But Im so sad that were going to lose to Rescue Me,theres nothing like it:(...

  • @SmileItRainsInRohan yes dude but we cant go any further ,that's great that the show stops ,it is gonna be a legend like the shield :)

  • @mefrini I see your point dude,but just cause its obviously been a legend in the making-and can only increasingly continue to do so,doeant mean Im not going miss Gavin,the guys and the family:) although I know that show will always have loyal fans...like us:D lol

  • @mefrini It sure did! Such an amazing scene, show and song!

  • @mefrini aren't you guys getting tired of these comments? Youtube, please remove the "thumbs up" feature..

  • it's just too short!!!!!!!!! gahhh jlkasjflksajfwo

  • I have heard this song many, many times and the album's preceding song, "Jolene", was my wedding dance song. After all of these years, though, that violin still sends shivers down my spine. A masterpiece.

  • theres a track i think is by ray la m. i only now some of the lyrics . ride that horse on the high plains like no one has ever gone before if you see me on the high plains just be sure to get out of my way?

  • This is awesome! Check us out

  • 0:00 and again =D

  • Comment removed

  • why have you kept it so short, It is so right, I love the lyrics, and the instrumental parts too, but it keep going back to listen to the song again and again and again, well you'd say this is all there is, alright

  • Is there an all instrumental version?

  • I miss my horse.

  • I'll just close my eyes when he sings and listen, so beautiful.. Hadn't heard this song before, already love it. This is what the call "music" people. Ray doesn't need a big stage or sexy dancers, just himself and his guitar. ^.^

  • Great song!

    I'm a massive Ray Lamontagne fan!

    If you like this song I think you may like my stuff! Check out my video response 'Emily, When I am Free'.

    Swing by my channel and let me know what you think, leave a comment etc...

    Peace,

    Gavin.

  • @GavinWilkinsMusic fuck you

  • calms my soul......

  • Favolosa, che artista..pelle d'oca.

  • All the wild horses All the wild horses Tethered with tears in their eyes May no man's touch ever tame May no man's reigns ever chain you And may no man's weight ever defrayed your soul And as for the clouds Just let them roll Roll away Roll away As for the clouds Just let them roll Roll away Roll away
  • too beautiful. evokes so much emotion. there are no words to explain how amazing this song is.

  • Thanks for speaking up for the horses. Very nice song and singer.

    TELL BLM TO STOP THE CRUEL ROUNDUPS NOW.

    .

  • Thanks for speaking up for the horses. VERY NICE SONG AND SINGER.

    .

  • hmmm, I think I will reflect and cry in the shower with popcorn. (fetal position of course). Although I've known the song for a while now, it never seems to lose its luster. Beautiful

  • Songs never make me cry, but I was in tears as soon as the song started. That opening violin is so beautiful that it made me cry, and he has so much emotion in his voice. He is beyond amazing and there is no one as good as him.

  • @hindrluvr listen to nickel creek, the violinist playing is from that band - sara watkins

  • @hindrluvr i soo agree with you !! most beatiful song ever !! and i l love horses so its just like woah ! his voice...i love it !

  • @hindrluvr Let's not be gay about this. It's a beautiful song yes. It's like your mom dying no.

  • @hindrluvr  amos lee's just as good

  • @MrMilesb90 Im a big fan of Amos Lee, too. "Windows are rolled down" is one of my favorite songs.

  • Beautiful absolutly Beautiful

  • He really takes his time...I love this. Beautiful.

  • he is almost as good as Jeff buckley. My two favorite male artists everrrr

  • @93kazz : i wouldn't go that far. I think your starved for decent singer/songwriters that's all.

  • he looks like pirate jesus. which warms my heart along with his words.

  • @jaygo64 oh! you make my day with the pirate jesus!!

  • @jaygo64 Alan from the hangover......

  • Unbelievable, you get my soul through my ears.

  • I absolutely love the blues because to be really great,you have to have suffered a little,or felt the sting of lost love or time. But this guy..... His soul has a great big hole in it and he fills it by singing to us.. keep plodding brother...

  • dear ray, plz marry me.

  • my favorite song. <3

  • this song is really gd! whos that guy!?

  • @randi0518 he's an angel in disguise..

  • 8 people don't have souls.

  • omg!!! it's amazing!

    i adore him.i could die listening to his voice...

  • Maybe Denis Leary will bring Ray's music back with the show this season. This song and the man singing it are just not of this planet.

  • Its almost like I dont want this song to end!

  • This hearkens back to the days when Rescue Me was easily the best show on television.

  • Just discovered Ray LaMantagne, and love this song.

    Agree with others, that I dont want it to end.

  • i first heard this song on rescue me. loved it ever since.

  • fall asleeep to this. i love it

  • Beautifully sad!! Thank you for this one.

  • ...I ride horses and am around a lot of horrible people who unfortunately ride as well...this song makes me think of those unlucky horses...I wish they could live these lyrics!!!! Also..."Go fuck yourself dressage world!" 90% of you are merely cold-hearted, selfish, bad riders with the capital to buy really capable horses!

  • Oh my fabulous! His voice just sends me.... His vibrato is so sweet and pure. I love the guitar-strum and the instrumental background, just a beautiful experience!!!

  • Amazing

  • rescue me :)

  • @funimuni808 The most beautiful, but heartbreaking scene ever. This song will always leave that vision in my head.

  • all his songs are better than the previous one you heard a few moments ago?

  • He makes me happy, sad and all the things in between when he sings. I only see beauty and love in others when I listen to this.

    His music moves on so many levels. It paints a picture of glorious display and emotion.

    Thank god for such gifted individuals willing to share their inner most selves with the rest of us regular humans.

    Bravo!

  • @98rawtom Dude, it's a show...

  • @98rawtom that episode almost made mee cryy

  • Unfriggen believable man this man is by far the most talented singer and musician i have ever com across...it makes no sence!!!!what key is his hermonica???

  • @jootcoutch its in a g chord...fairly easy to blow mimicing the string portions of this absolutely amazing song...

  • So good...truely great song.....

  • @98rawtom Ya... I've watching through Rescue Me on Netflix and when I was watching that shockingly sad few minutes, this song made it ever more depressing with a glimmer of hope at the end... love it!

  • This song makes me think of Cat Power for some reason. To me it sounds like if Chan Marshall were a man singing the same music, sorta the same style. Such a beautiful song.

  • Watching this on Rescue Me could bring a tear to your eye. Perfect song for that scene.

  • i cant find words to describe this. i truly felt my mindset change after listening to this. it felt right and i felt truly at peace. nothing could really change that.

  • Great song, great lyrics but too sad for me

  • This song touches me so much.

  • amazing......

  • this song...this man...wow. what a blessed gift this man is.

  • amazing! raw and beautiful

  • Such a beautiful song. It makes me cry.

  • i get the sense he is a deeply sad person also...but his gloominess is his genius... creating some of the most touching and meaningful music i have heard in recent history...

  • wow IDK why but just the sound of this song makes my eyes water... I hope this guys around for a while. and is it just me or does he seem like a very sad person?

  • I've found my soul music. How did I live without this man's music in my life? Life changing stuff

  • ah this is the song when connor dies on rescue me...that scene totally haunts me. :(

  • This song is amazing, I just wish it was longer!

  • Yes amazing!!!

  • wow

  • so little words, yet so beautiful

  • Why does this song ever have to stop? It is like there is a meaning so deep that you want to figure out but you can't. It brings almost a sense of emotion you haven't felt. I love him and this song so much! It is amazing to see how much one person can make music such a time to wonder and joy.

  • well said.

  • @TheKbattaglio Exactly what I feel like. I really can't put any words on this emotion.

  • @TheKbattaglio Ray is a sad little soul just like myself, watching the rest of the genius's get saddled and broken in, by men with no wits, by a world with no understanding of how frustrating it is to be surrounded by morons who break our backs, spur our souls, and tame the beasts

  • @TheKbattaglio Ray is a sad little soul just like myself, watching the rest of the genius's get saddled and broken in, by men with no wits, by a world with no understanding of how frustrating it is to be surrounded by morons who break our backs, spur our souls, and tame the beasts. Or he's talking about a whore house......

  • @TheKbattaglio Yeah, I know what you mean! I think this song is about heart of a man and the bright future.My first that when I heard this song was: 'where is my guitar?'.

  • Skomentuj ten film... Yeah, I know what you mean! I think this song is about heart of a man and the bright future.My first that when I heard this song was: 'where is my guitar?'.

  • Skomentuj ten film... @TheKbattaglio

  • this song went by so fast..it was unbelievably beautiful all the same..the simplicity and soul you can feel is overwhelming..i loved it..brought a tear to my eyes

  • ;)

    Peg@

  • pure magic..

  • Best song of his!

  • wish there was an eternity play button,so amazing!

  • @poharkez

  • may no mans touch ever tame you.....

  • I googled, as well, and came up with "May no man's weight ever lay freight your soul" as the most popular lyric. It's recognizable upon listening.

  • its- may no mans weight ever defray your soul

  • the song is g and b minor..and then e minor...with a c thrown in for the chorus parts...4 chords and it sounds beautiful
