Ray LaMontagne- I still care 4 u

[grooviescycleshop]

if you like this check out The Regretting Man on youtube

[noSanity4sale]

hear me out......hear this one out. this one speaks to the soul. like a whisper, a breeze, a storm. so much emotion transported by a few waves of sound. and so much said with so few words....

[beer30and420]

my song to a ex g/f

[InsaneIsleOfManion]

Ray LaMontagne is AMAZING! He deserves to have his song title written in FULL! Not complaining cos the fact that you put this on youtube instantly makes me like who ever put this on :) Like if you agreeee <3

[glennohagan]

@InsaneIsleOfManion Yeah sorry I did this ages ago, and did so to avoid Copyright problems...so, sorry, but it's about the music, not the name...

[modicastar]

Christ, I feel like Im in love when I listen to Ray's soul spill out onto his music.

[LYLI20]

I know this song from House Md:x:x:x

[sk8rasta39]

i still care for the five people that disliked this because they are human and have probably never been cared for so i will stop that chain

[MegaNotlistening]

5 people have never been in love

[Attraboy]

makes me want to cry, damn thats a sign of good song writing

[klee3310]

@Attraboy doesn't it? Makes me want to fall apart.



[webbsightful]

I don't even listen to this kind of music, but this guys stuff is really fun to hear. My soulfulness pales in comparison to his and I'm black. No, but really this guy is a treasure definitely.

[rhodium1233]

This song is something else isn't it? Thanks to yahoo Q & A I was able to find this song :) three thumbs up, the last thumbs up is my boner

[CraterMuffin]

I feel like my whole musical career is unreachable when I listen to people like this...

So captivating... and moves me in ways I can't begin to express...

A true singer... A true musician... A true artist.

[michellelyric]

How do you know exactly how to express through song, to sing! everything in my heart and hands and soul? Your music is the language, the gesture that only lovers understand..that this lover feels so deeply. Beautiful, beautiful song.

[megghegg]

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Music, with fabulous drumming and overall arrangements!

[Migas128]

awesome. enough said :)

[brookelatu2]

There are NO words to describe what his music does to me and makes me feel!! I feel like I'm in an amazing trance!!! I love you Ray, I need you to live with me and sing to me all day!!

[KatyAnnPickles]

Ray has the rare and fantastic talent to speak his soul through his music...not many artists have ever accomplished that. Beautiful :)

[TheUKCanadian]

Come on people....Does it get any better than this???

And someone said baby music? Nail right on the head.

[Imhissweetestsin]

His music takes me to a place where I dont want to return from.... Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul

[lolita2215]

This song truely touches me in so many ways. "Even promises may bleed." Talk about deep stuff here. Amazing man with an amazing voice.!

[GavinWilkinsMusic]

What a great song!

[soothuglifesmile]

the look of jesus and the voice of... well, jesus

[boowitz]

@soothuglifesmile

Wow, I didn't realize Jesus was white. No wonder he stood out, seeing as how he was the only white dude in the Middle East. But Ray's music rules!!

[glennohagan]

@boowitz haha i know, i meant the he looks like how jesus is percieved, not actual jesus, my bad :L

[boowitz]

@glennohagan

No prob. And thank you for having a sense of humor about it and not going all religious on me. =]

---and I figured that's what you meant, but I had to say it for the JesusFreaks.--

[stateq2]

@boowitz

It's common knowledge that Jesus was a white guy w/ a beard. Excavators obtained his photograph when they found an ancient SD card buried in a cave in Nazareth. Yes, they had digital cameras back then.

[boowitz]

@stateq2

That was the famous "SD card or Turin, right? The one found with the shroud? =]

[stateq2]

@boowitz Yes...that's the one. Scientists were only able to read it one time...just enough to copy the photograph of Jesus from it. Coincidence?  I think not. The SD card then mysteriously disintegrated :-/ Some speculate that he played guitar as well.

[Thumperdinck]

@stateq2

pity no one thought of photographing him on the cross or coming out of the tomb or materialising with a hole in his side hey, or , or , overthrowing the tables, or , or whatabout the great wedding feast, no one had a camera there???.... might have helped to bury all this goddamned speculation and arguments..

[Mr04Burns]

this song just makes u wanna take ur lady outside in the rain or inside while it rains what ever u prefer and just let the music take u to pleasure island

[pluto1jack]

I Love the song too. And I certainly agree Ray LaMontagne is a wonderful Artist. But to you people with the comment, How do you know what JESUS looks like?? Also disturbing, you spell His name without even capitalizing the " J " !!!!

[Zeppolino100]

@pluto1jack Relax my friend. I'm quite certain the real Jesus wouldn't mind at all. He'd be much more concerned with what's in a person's mind and heart than whether they capitalized His name. As for His actual appearance, of course no one knows--that gentleman surely meant "looks like how artists typically have portrayed Him." Peace to you, my brother.

[boowitz]

@pluto1jack

k.d. lang doesn't capitalize her name either, so I'm sure jesus would be down with that. It removes the burden of having to hit the shift bar. =}

[litegrenade777]

This song has literally brought me to tears.. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard

[lucylocket2210]

Just amazing.......

[trysilentscreaming]

jesus 

[karlchambers1]

his voice is so perfect, theirs not many artists if any that make me feel the way that ray does, he sex on the end of a key board.

[godiva869]

his voice just takes you away. its peaceful, exciting at the same time. emotions flow thru him to us and we deffinately feel it! thanks for such a beautiful voice Ray. 

[Kimmica20]

@godiva869 Exactly!  I consider myself to be kind of picky with music, but his songs really sound good and touch me.

[kingtrades]

Ray speaks what in my mind now in my life this time and space. This is what I feel about my love now

[juniedai]

deep to the core of my inner sou...l this man sends me.

[juniedai]

God this man sends me~

[smlorrin]

Absolutely amazing... My entire body is pulsating to this song. Sigh...

[shello389]

There isn't a song I'd rather listen to. Thank you so much Ray.

[Jameswinslife]

cant help but smile



[MightySouthpaw]

how good is this? wonderful. ...and the production & arrangement is top notch.

[za1pp]

HOUSE MD

[TitusChristian]

@za1pp I'm here because of House MD too....I had to hear this again.



[BiancaBilly]

2:24 - 3:01 what a great change of melody, goooosebumps

[kwalton37]

I will forever think of JOHN when I here this song. :)

[lesrenee2078]

It feels soooooo

[josedanielestrada]

I heard the song in an episode of House :D

[csrcman]

Kalove, this song says it all. I love you baby. JPLL

[Quasita]

I first heard this song walking around in a bookstore, I had been unaware of the release of Gossip in the Grain and my mother thought I was nuts when I stopped in my tracks and turned to go find the CD in the music section. This song sneaks into my head randomly and echoes in my heart without warning.

[etitiennette]

a dream... this music is a very beautiful dream...

[wistaria2010]

Beautiful song.

[mrsdylan77]

wonderful.......i could fall in love with ray if he sang that to me

[wingaz99]

@mrsdylan77

[Havamartini]

pain

[riversautumn6895]

i still careeeee for................you. <3

[bigmasood]

I still care for the one that got away.

[Babalon]

Unfuckingbelieveable! RL is the real successor to the Jeff/Tim Buckley/Nick Drake lineage of true artists -- although is he a complete original. God, I love this song, and this singer.

[jerrygarciaftw]

@Babalon sooooo true!

[patriciavaleriagomes]

@Babalon =) I agree

[mbluescat61]

And really cool editing!

[mbluescat61]

The look of Jesus the voice of an angel

[bobsacamano8]

wow .. what talent and emotion.. guy truly is a genuine musician

[HalfBillion]

This guy lives like 10 minutes from my house and I saw him at a diner with his family and he gladly signed my copy of "Gossip in the Grain" for me. I was pumped.

[Clover94000]

lucky guy :o

[scorpiopeace1006]

You lucky dog...how many kids does he have?

[HalfBillion]

There were two with him.

[6brandnew6]

@HalfBillion i live like 10 minutes from Ray's house! geez!! maybe i'm you! o_O

[hergreenjacket]

thats awesome

[dbfydtn]

I'm so glad i found out about this guy. he's amazing

[superogbiggjc]

i cant believe i've went this long without knowing who you were or hearing your music, but now that I have, I'm a fan for life! your albums are beautifully written and sung perfectly!! bravo!

[djapanaa]

beautiful.

[pinkloverpeace1]

I love this song more than life itself <3

[LifeofDarren]

This is an excellent song. I never heard of this guy until I heard the song on the TV Series House on Fox. At my convenience I quickly tagged the song with my iPhone with Shazam Application. Thx iPhone!

[plushmoon02]

me too!!!

[srmalik]

LEGEND

[TheCorholio]

como se llama el album esta muy bueno!!!!

[LifeofDarren]

@TheCorholio

album: Gossip In the Grain

artist: Ray LaMontagne

song: I still care for you

[TheCorholio]

mil gracias por el comentario agradesco tu alluda,

esta muy bueno

[adeelbelorf]

one of my fave songs i have heard this year - truly wonderful!

[athenaharris]

Mmmm, he evokes so much earth sexiness when he sings. Perhaps, a cheesy thing to say. But you can't deny when listening to this song!

[scorpiopeace1006]

I totally agree...

[stolzvonbaden]

I like the way you work. 5* from Badenia, Germany.

[Rai7ana007]

2:38-2:59 was the reason I know this song by heart. just 20 seconds of beautiful, absolutely beautiful melody did the magic.

[EnriquePage91]

funny, since It's the part I like the less about the amazing song :P

[AnimFilmer]

I agree. It's the best verse of the song.

I saw Ray in Salt Lake City last October. His performance shattered our hearts with breathtaking melodies and lyrics.

Ray, you truly are one of the best musicians. Your live performances are something everyone should see before we die. :)

[ASharpCMajor]

Just saw Ray live in San Fran a week ago., just him and his acoustic guitar. Absolutely amazing!! Winter Birds was so beautiful and he played a slower version of You Are The Best Thing (he said that was how he originally wrote it). If he comes within 500 miles of where I live, I'm seeing him again!!

[Jasonagf]

its all opinions. I like rays low raspy voice and soul/passion way of singing. But I love Damiens way of going intense and that wicked layer effect he does with his singing and guitar playing when live. No singer can be better than another, because they're all different.

[Liv2LuvGod04]

well, rice is also a great singer guys, but I sort of agree with hergreenjacket, I absolutely love ray's voice, more than rice, a lot more. but that doesnt mean he's a bad singer, so davey5984, learn not to take things so hard cuz that was a pretty ridiculous comment.

[number1son2]

Ray got much soul .

How can you not love this dude's music.

truly one of the finest singer song writers of our time. My wife and I would love to see him in concert

[warha1]

is it just me, or has Ray really changed his style in this third album? its quite a shift from the original Trouble disk, IMO.

[agentadvocate]

It's more of an exploration of his different musical interests, I suppose. But the spirit is still the same. I like it the most out of all of his albums, but that's my humble opinion.

[trustopinion]

ray is the man, him damien rice and david gray are all excellent excellent musicians...

[Ryanator777]

his voice puts me in a such an amazing, what seems to be untouchable with out him music, kind of state! lyrics are wonderful

[thebaifengtzu23]

The only person i put on his level is Damien Rice! Both are so very gifted song writers and voices that convey total emotion. No, his music is a thing of beauty

[hergreenjacket]

rice doesnt even compare

[davey5984]

how very dare you. you don't know shit

[MsIndianArtist]

esta musica arrepia cada vez que a ouço.é fantastica.

amo

[mdmarkee3]

Baby making music!!!!!

[hergreenjacket]

love this song

[gablush]

Ray has every element a lover of music could wish for. I've seen a ton of concerts and his ranks in the top 10...

[hergreenjacket]

the bridge sounds like a beatles thing

[TembongRivera]

i think so too. must be just me, but the drum beat makes me think... ringo in something or here comes the sun.

[onetthome]

Ray LaMontagne?

[bigblue1994]

I still love you L come back

[koolakalle]

nice

[lemonkooler]

I can listen to this song over and over and it never fails to enchant me. Such a beautiful voice and arrangement

[NaaAdjoa]

This song is pretty amazing...I like the bridge with the flute (or is the piccalo), it reminds me of the melody in the 70's version of Romeo and Juliet.

[hypyvgn]

What tuning is the guitar in?

[stateq2]

standard...capo 3rd

[TresorIrumva]

i love songs like that!!!!

do you guys know some more like that?!

[TresorIrumva]

is there any specific song?!

[cremol55]

The song reminds me of grace of the album grace....

I think you like all songs... good luck!

[cremol55]

It's a classic :-)

[jollyjp]

Try looking up some Iron & Wine songs - they're great

[rolandgladden]

Awesome-Great voice~ great music:)

[Megs2606]

He was doing a festival in Devon the other weekend according to my friend. Utterly gutted that I didn't know about it beforehand so I could get tickets. Had the day off as well =[

[MrIheartmoosic]

Good shit

[madeleinejen]

Beautiful

[roxyju13]

Seeing him for the first time live last month... his voice is even better live.. which i thought was impossible !! he is amazing.. the best artist out there in my opinion .

[CapoeiraRush]

Day follows day....

[raspberrymacaron]

découvert grâce au Grand Alain Bashung qui recommandait dans une interview d'écouter cet artiste, et j'ai découvet cette incroyable chanson, céleste et envoutante, j'aime...

[leastwedigeachother]

I can't get enough of this song.

[jwshprncss]

Amazing artist; Amazing song!

[ASharpCMajor]

First time I heard this song it was Ray singing it LIVE... I just couldn't believe how beautiful it was.. his voice was so powerful and gentle at the same time. He is an amazing singer and song writer!!

[waitingformyprince83]

u r so lucky !! I envy you! :)

[waitingformyprince83]

from 2:42 makes me feel like Im in a better place.. pure beauty

[xdamselx]

<3 Completely love this song x

[waitingformyprince83]

Im speechless.... sound like its from heaven

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Powerful song!

Brilliant performance by Ray; quality

video.

Thank you, so much!

[irnbruirnbru]

This song is different to anything i have ever heard, not just by ray, but anything at all. Strikes a chord in me unlike anything before, it is a strange song but really good and haunting. Excellent stuff.

[Lani1100]

Wow!

[Shrubbs]

I agree, best song on the new album

[Surricane]

I love you Magda. My sympatia.

[leminhead9]

windows movie maker anyone?

haha nice nice, great song

[fadilsamah]

I saw him yesterday in Montreal, the people around us told us it was the most he's ever spoken during his shows.

He told us how much he loved Montreal and Canada in general, as well as Maine...the concert was beautiful

[alisha0715]

he talked alot in Ann Arbor too (and said it was the most he's spoken in a while) lol . He must really want to get across the point he's not some tortured guy who doesn't talk.

[CujoHasRabies]

what an amazing song.. it just might be my favorite of "gossip"

[awahlrus]

I saw him play last night in Portland, ME (his home state) and this song was even more amazing live. It was reallly powerful. He's awesome.

[cazzaohagan]

Brill video:) hehehehehehe even in comments i am annoying sooooo be patient you unpatient little git !!

[homeytheclown]

what do you think about the line: "wanted me to be, less your lover than a mirror" ???

[theywerenazisdude]

perhaps his ex was trying to push him into becoming her perfect match, a mirror image of herself

[homeytheclown]

I think he is using light as a symbol for life. Turning to clay (becoming lifeless). (sometimes people speak about life coming from clay or the earth). without his lover, his has become lifeless. The next line: i think he is alluding to the idea of brittle bones to symbolize his weakness inside,that has resulted from pain.the 'burning' is like his song 'burn' from the Trouble album. where your body 'burns' with anger or emotional rage and over time it has symbolically 'burned' his bones

[CujoHasRabies]

Nice!!

How would you interpret:

"even promises may bleed"?

I see it as a statement that means Everything is possible: even impossible things can come true\occur...

It's like he's saying:

No matter how much I love you, I am human after all and can be broken, eventually..

Dazzling song.

[nerfball615]

Can someone help me understand the meaning of the "light turns to clay" & "look inside me..you'll find only bones burned to glass" parts of this song?

[artulusis]

I heard watching House, and it was awesome. Can't get enough!

[ReddestxXxApple]

same here! what episode? i forget...

[endsang]

Season 5, ep 12 "Painless"

[ReddestxXxApple]

thanks!

[attack123]

this song literaly cut me in two, So beatiful it has a sort of presence that is great

[grenolf]

i have absolutely fallen in love w/ his music. It reflects so eloquently how I feel about the girl I love. This song is very unique in his collection, the exquisite blend of his guitar, misty vocals and the most amazing percussion I have heard in any of his recordings... Wow, what an amazing artist!!

[snboring]

i love this song. so lovely

[captjo1966]

haunting and beautiful

[Numb2DaWorld]

God Bless SNL.....

Probably never would have heard of this man's music if it wasnt for me saying screw the internet for a moment and watch and old fav. sat. show.

This music speaks to me like the old Coldplay does, David Gray, and The Cure after all of these years.

Simple, soulful, hauntingly melodic music is my beloved nemesis. I love this tune......

[jcbaseball01]

yeah i know i first heard him on SNL too and i liked his music ever since, my favorite song from him

[lotionisgood]

i heard this song on house, after that premire he was invited to perform on snl

[blossom423]

This song gives me chills

[glennohagan]

Thnx for all your comments so far look out for a new vid copming soon
