You Are The Best Thing- Ray LaMontagne

[saxojon]

Up there with the other Motown hits. Fantastic song.

[vaughnjb]

I will admit I am not familiar with him....but will be now. Great voice. I too thought it must be from 20-30 years ago. First time I heard this, I thought of Terrence Trent D'arby.

[hipncool07]

We don't get many superb singer/songwriter/musicians like him, he's got it all covered! I've not heard one of his songs that sounded like lower standard fill-in stuff - they're all great! He sings so that you can sing along with him, & I like that when I'm alone I can sing with him. My favorite new artist since he came out with his music!.

[ItsCassandraDarling]

Oh Ray, still the best vocals out there :)

[aliyahh331]

Makes me feel as if I dont have a care in the world, Feel good music love it

[balibuddah1]

Im getting married in a few months and using this as our first dance as husband and wife!! Love this song so much x

[Linsey5309]

Great idea!! Perfect for a first dance!! Congrats! : )

[thehadgi]

@balibuddah1 congrats that's awesome :D

[onelastnoob]

[thrower271]

sounds like he stepped straight out of the '70s! I am soooo in love with his voice!!! Jude~

[itssxchristinax]

Ray Lamontagne is the best thing that ever happened 2 me i stumbled on 2 his music when i was 14 and he just never gets old!!!!!

[DonkPuncher1]

If I had to choose one artist only to listen to the rest of my life it would be Ray...I never get burned out on his stuff, and it still gives me chills

[sapnyosentry]

I like his beard

[khasandraaa]

<3.

"anything you want - you got it, anything you need - you got it, anything at all - you got it"

[SkootMom]

I'd never even ehard of Ray LaMontagne until they played this song on Radio Margaritaville, and now I'm hooked! What a GREAT song, and that voice!

[Janice11353]

No doubt about it... I miss her, the giggles, the glances the silence that spoke volumes, and most of all that kiss on the forehead each night she loved... my baby.

[TheUKCanadian]

Wedding song, for sure.

[Lunaxekiese]

love this song!

[silverado669]

ur the shit brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DistortionJerk2Fly]

i luvv dhis song my brother showed me this on thanksgiving..

[sweatyone78]

It's refreshing to see such a classic style of music still coming from modern musicians. This song gives me images of dancing in the living room with my man after a long day of work. Good stuff.

[chapie1987]

@sweatyone78 totally agree (except for the 'my man' part)! never heard of this guy and thought I was listening to a golden oldie...the song just grooves like the old timers!

[ranchoboyeros]

he is awesome

[marion2697]

This song makes me feel very happy and cheerful!

And I love Ray's voice and all his other songs, especially "Barfly"...., I'm addicted to this kind of music!

[hoehater]

to come all promising like the spring then walk on out the door

its a metamorphic way to say that something good is heading your way and suddenly doesnt come your way like that i think

[NornIron444]

His voivce is class.. Oh and what scruffy looking guy, looks class. x

[giraffe625]

thanks to the 2 ppl who clarified the 1st part of the line(s) i was confused on, that definately makes more sense.

However (lol), i was actually more confused/wondering about the 2nd part of it "to come on promising like a spring to walk on out the door" .... can anyone help on that part? :)

[giraffe625]

I'm confused (which isn't hard lol) ... what does this line mean?

Both of us had no love before

(to come on promising like a spring to walk on out the door)?

[meghquinn]

It should be:

Both of us have known love before

[elwren75]

I think it's "Both of us have known love before"

[poppajoecool]

This generation's Otis Redding....sing it brother

[supermariogirl4]

That's EXACTLY what i think too!!! :D

[eyyoliz09]

i love ray LaMontagne!

his music is so amazing

[audk183]

I saw Ray in Glasgow live and he is AMAZING!!!!!! love his voice.

[elieve]

<3

[GodBlessPepe]

the horns are so loud in album that everytime i listen it scares me out lol

[soberforonce]

He has such a soothing voice.

[OregonRuthie]

This guy just blows me away.....I just discovered him.  He is GREAT!

[onetthome]

saw this on Letterman

[geprgiegirl]

Looking at the photos I'm guessing that he has been around alot longer than James Morrisson though!!

[geprgiegirl]

A lively song that I heard on the radio this morning and loved its vibe ....Reminds me of JAMES MORRISSON....same vein .........

[jojobinks29]

Amazing!!!!!!!

[isabellle87]
