  • So good.

    

  • i can hear this song a million times and still love it!

  • I pity people who never heard of this man. They're missing out on great, genuine and authentic music.

  • It just like with most of the artists - I mean those non commercial one from gigantic music records companies - finding those stars on huge music sky. I heared this song in the pub and there got clip of that song on the projector. Just first few tunes and I loved this song. Start searching more about artist. And I`ll keep searching about different ones.

  • Fact of not knowing those songs, artists it`s not a ignorance, it`s huge music universe which we discover everyday. Today I found of Blue Sugar and Etta James. I got richer by that knowladge.

  • im alive

  • What a powerful songwriter.

  • love this song.....

  • ii lovee this songg...this is myy first timee seeingg what he looks likee he sounds blackk

  • @ShaBrekia11 thats because you live in a box and think only black people can sing with soul.

  • @smeloche2010 agreed

  • Boy do I love this song.

  • wonderful!!!!!!! *_*

    

  • if you like this check out The Regretting Man

  • What version is this? Its not the same as the version on the album...

    Anyone?

  • ho....wait,,,,thar commercial....haha!!!

    

  • hey guys please check out our cover of this on our channel :) x

  • One of my favorite artists of all time!

  • THE BEST 240P.......! period !!!

  • Hmm. I knew a few songs by ray and I just watched this video for the first time. I remember this song from the dog commercial a while ago, had never made the connection that it was by Ray LaMontagne...

  • @MikeFromHolland31 Well, considering it was 2006, I'm guessing yes.

  • I love his voice! It reminds me of Sam Cooke :-D

  • This song is amazing! You should listen to Chris Wilson Aquila, soo good!

  • I'm in love with his voice and his beard.

  • Thanks to American Idol, I found this video. We have a lot to thank to American Idol.

  • @MightyDancer80 Are you serious? I found this via Parenthood. D:

  • @calmer410 Well I'm sorry but I didn't see Parenthood. I'm more of Idol.

  • the travelers dog commercial brought me here......

  • I remember about 5 years ago I used to hear this song on the radio whilst grafting in the sunshine! Good times :)

  • good job!!!!!

  • He sounds a little bit like James Morrison..Me love it :)

  • @Dinadancemusic James Morrison would love to sound a bit like Ray.

  • @mattie51 Yeah.. you probably right.. who am i kidding :P

  • Such a great song. Thanks for the video! btw, I've seen some Robert Pattinson videos here and can't help but think he's similar to Ray ... gotta love a soulful crooner strumming his music ...

  • I am a teenager who is surrounded by "Dubstep" fans. I know nothing about Dubstep or anything, but what I do know about is Folk/Indie. I love this music. I love this song.

  • @LeytonOrientForever I know EXACTLY how you feel!

  • @LeytonOrientForever Me too, and I have no idea what it's about either. D:

  • I always thought it was "Alabama shaaaaaved my woman".

    I am clearly wrong....

  • sexy sexy voice

  • Beautiful song and a great voice. I can't believe I haven't heard of him by now, it took a fellow Youtuber to point me in his direction.

  • ok...so he's got a little 'black thang' going on. He pulls it off pretty good. Nice music.

  • This is real music, 145 people were troubled because they thought the like button was upside down.

  • this new format sucks, youtube. it's hard on the eye's. it's giving me ocular "trouble" right ray?

  • @brainsareus I'm assuming because it's gray instead of white, it's supposed to be lower contrast and therefore easier on the eyes. Not for you?

  • @ceceliawas perhaps my myopic/astigmatic eyes, don't rspond to this well. for me, it's sort of like reading with a dim bulb,[that's half my family,dim bulbs,but i digress]. how's it working for you. any preference either way?

  • @brainsareus In theory, it would be better, but now that I notice it and i'm focusing on it, it's driving my eyes nuts! Thanks a lot! haha never noticed it until I saw your original comment.

    I'm sure we'll all get used to it when we stop looking at it. haha

  • Does this not remind anyone of Cat Stevens?

  • YouTube malfunctioned 145 times.

  • Thumbs up if the doggie commercial brought you here!

  • Love this song, allways puts me in a good mood, beautiful!

  • Anybody else think this song came out way before 2004?

  • If anything his voice shows how we are ALL PEOPLE, color is nothing but an excuse for hatred.

  • Very good song :) but is this filmed with a potato? xd

  • @MikeFromHolland31 no and it's not meant to be high quality.

  • @ghostedfrequency Thanks for clearing that up for us...

  • @MikeFromHolland31 hehehe a potato funny

  • @MikeFromHolland31

    Haven't you heard of the new potato lens its organic

  • @MikeFromHolland31 dont be silly potatoes are outdated, they use apples for this XD

  • @MikeFromHolland31 looooooooooooooool!!! that was actually very hilarious!

  • @MikeFromHolland31 jackasssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Stop watching so much t.v. and LISTEN to the music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! C'mon people!

  • damn, beard isn't in the tags

  • These are NOT 4,665,287 unique viewers. About a million of those are yours truly

  • Ray is absolutely outstanding. He'll always be my favorite.

  • To the person who said, "I can't listen to this song anymore without thinking someone is trying to sell me insurance. It's kind of ruined the song -" Craig Ferguson uses the "CBS cares" slogan mockingly as does his gay robot sidekick, Geoff. So now whenever CBS airs some sad situation and plea for help & ends it with "CBS Cares" I can't help but laugh!! So I've beaten up by cancer victims, people who have been bullied, Hurricane victims & their families, etc. Thanks FERGUSON!

  • real music that never dies....142 people that have never lived...

  • real music that never dies....

    

  • I can't listen to this song anymore without thinking someone is trying to sell me insurance. It's kind of ruined the song -

  • @nycdan01 I can't listen to an insurance ad anymore without thinking of this song. Backfired on them you know!

  • what does a black guy sound like?

  • his voice gives me chills. i'm late, but i'm definitely jumping on the Ray LaMontagne train! WooHoo!

  • I want to move to Oregon with him.

  • This song makes me want to be a better person. Thanks Ray...you're beautiful.

  • UNREALLL!!!! #Paddy!!

  • Class and soul

  • simply a fantastic song with great lyrics!

  • I love Ray! Have you heard the Regulars Band cover Repo Man? It's a great tribute

  • Totally stolen from Cat Stevens' song, but has a life of it's own.

  • Amazing song and he is amazing even live. He , jason mraz, michael buble, john mayers and jack johnson are some of my favorite artist especially live

  • soul? he just grunts and repeats the same phrases. bad.

  • @chh1126 listen to hannah for example. or shelter :)

  • @chh1126 All have their own opinions, but is that your overall opinion of him, this song, or soul music in general? I think this song is great, not a lot of lyrics, but heartfelt ones which captivates his "soul". Definitely more than grunting, anyone can grunt, but grunting alone won't get you 4 mil hits.

  • if you like ray, check out The Jason Connelly Band!!! on youtube

  • This version is crap, compared to the live version. Still a good song though :)

  • if cat stevens didn't get religion he'd be Ray.

  • purely amazing . cant even describe the power in his voice

  • dude didnt know know Jesus could sing and play guitar. haha

  • Best song ever!!!!

  • so much like cat stevens song though

  • OOOOPS!! I can NOT believe I misspelled his last name geeeeez!! It's (Pattinson) Robert Pattinson--actually I listed to Robert sing and I think Pattinson sings better

  • he sounds just like Robert Patterson--amazing!

  • The VH1 100 Greatest songs of the 00s sucked for not only NOT having this song on the list, but for not having it at No. 1 as well too!

  • oh my god the thumbs up fans are here

    google lady gaga, i heard she's realy good and not taking drugs

  • @hahahahahahahahSTFU well, i disagree with that statement but respect your opinion

  • thumbs up if kirstie alley sent u here!!

  • Oh I really like this song! I love the travelers commercial with the dog trying to find a safe place to burry his bone. lol That dog is so cute.

  • He does sound soulful. Go look up soulful songs. You can tell whos young in by these comments grow up dumb fucks

  • Omg i been looking for who sang this i love him nd his voice

  • When I first heard this, I thought he wuz a midget.

  • I love this man's voice...

  • ye r all idiots

    

  • He's not black. He don't sound black. And he's White. Just stating the obvious like everyone else. In other words just trolling

  • @beardtrick Respect the opinion....but obviously no one agrees. 103 thumbs up to 0.....

  • Sorry guys i'm black and this guy sounds like a redneck country singer to me!!! Great singer great voice whatever culture it's a great tune.

  • He doesn't sound black, nor especially 'soulful' in my book, but then I live in the heart of the Delta. What get's me is these guys like Vernon Reid, who give up their native 'root's for the completely artificial life of an urban pseudo-intellectual.

    {{Discounting the fact he's got 4 million hits, I actually like this dude a lot!}}

  • @ChezKiva lol I gotta say when I heard this song on the Travelers Ins commercial I thought it was some black blues artists. lol I think it's great because of his whiskey voice that he sounds like he is black. There's no problem either way his voice sounds great on this song. I wish him luck in his career. lol

  • I LOVE YOU

  • @PatrickEganLong there's no such thing as a black persons singing style thats my point every1 is different tarring ppl with the same brush because of colour (i.e. black persons singing style ) is racist pure n simple how the hell is it a compliment its not a diss either though. & i never said they were being hatefull. its just a wrong way of thinking p.s the song and singing r awesome i agree

  • @Raquita2011 & @TheCappy4 u say u hear a soulful voice n automatically think it must be a black singer. u may not mean it to be but that is racism coz ur (unknowingly) stating that only black singers can do soulful songs. ur not racist but ur brain has stereotypes of ppl as will every1 n there not always right

  • @lerky1984

    or they just think that it sounded like a black person's singing style, that's not racist you moron it's not even hateful it's complimentary, shut up with your over sensitive bullshit

    p.s. this song is GLORIOUS, black white red purple I don't give a shit this man is an angel sent to earth to make the world weep with joy

  • @PatrickEganLong yeah i got called racist for saying he sounds black when it was honestly a pretty big compliment. i love the sound of soul and all that. Thank you

  • @TheCappy4 lol, he does sound black though.

  • @PatrickEganLong Yeah. I don't understand where all this hypersensitive pc bs came from. Great song. And to lerky1984, that's the way he sings, idiot. He's not mocking anyone.

  • ...AMAZING!!! listening to this bomb song while doing an AP US History essay and it just helps so much! His voice is amazing!

  • How can it get any better than this....thank you Ray!

  • I love this guy such a talent with an amazing voice....im an artist myself check out my song paperheart and johanna

  • Hi James Morrison!

  • His voice is SOOOOOOO SEXY!

  • the dog just wanted to protect his bone....:(

  • I love that commercial!! lol

  • Absolutely love this song. Ray's amazing, he's just got such a distinctive sound. There aren't many out there like him. It's not hard to see how he inspired The Renzullo Project.

  • If you like Ray LaMontagne you should check out Donald Ridings' song Letters on the Table.

  • @bcozigothigh

    I was gonna put my comment

    "His beard kicks' chuck norris's 3rd fist's ass, but that didn't quite make sense.

  • I expected Ray Lamontagne

  • i expected a bald black guy

    

  • i heard this band today and i really think it goes well in this genre... go to reverbnation . com / thehumanorchestra

  • I pictured him a little...Sharper

  • His beard kicks Chuck Norris's ass.

  • thumbs up if the commercial where the little dog takes his bone to the bank brought you here

  • How can he do what everyone else is doing and make it sound so good?

  • Most sexiest guy on the planet

  • diggin"my soul with this song .. my top singer with wonderful lyrics

  • His voice kinda reminds me of James Morrison.

  • @DazedConfused989 do you mean Van Morrison? because i can see that resemblance

  • @jmadd24060 No I mean James.

  • @DazedConfused989 well then you've lost me...i don't see it.

  • @jmadd24060 You're not supposed to see it. Hear it! They sound so much alike.

  • @DazedConfused989 what i meant was that i didn't hear it...because they voices sound different to me...really different. Again, i can hear the similarity to van morrison but not jim morrison

  • @jmadd24060 Not Jim Morrison, James Morrison. Look him up

  • I fucks with this song :) Soulful

  • i dig men with beards. mmm. :} wondrous voice.

  • I have posted on here before.....I am still in love with his voice.

  • Can i just point out that my comment on here saying this is better than the original was in fact for the Ray Lamontagne Video of his covering Gnarls Barkley's song Crazy!! lol oops, commented on wrong vid =) but this song is also amazing. Huge fan ;) x

  • debbiep85 this aint no cover u fool its ray's song and its awesome

  • @lerky1984 wtf is the matter with you calling people fools? Now uv just made a total fool of urself! If you'd just pointed out my mistake to me i would've told you that the comment ws meant for the Ray Lamontagne video for Gnarls Barkley cover Crazy!! I made a mistake! Simple.

  • thumbs up if you thought he was black the first time you hear him

  • @TheCappy4 Yeah, and I thought it was somebody covering Otis Redding,too!

  • @TheCappy4 Haha took the words right outta my mouth yo

  • @TheCappy4 I know I did. My very first thought was "Is that Otis Redding?" :)

  • @TheCappy4 RACIST!!!

  • @fathom73 It's not racism.. It's discrimination

  • @TheCappy4 lol I thought the same thing ever since I saw the commercial that this song was playing on....It's not racist you ididots he just has a soulful voice its beautiful :)

  • @Raqita2011 Glad you got my back, haha. Yeah, he's got such a great voice and right away i thought of an african american (see, i can be politically correct) because his voice sounds like some good soul music. You pretty much nailed it

  • @TheCappy4 this brother has SOUL LOL

  • @TheCappy4 Thought it was a black lady for like six years.

  • @deutschland08fn yeah, we're not on the same page here...

  • @TheCappy4 I figured.
