Ray Lamontagne - Shelter (Amazing Version)

[yodasodaskoda]

Why do they play Gaga, Beyonce and Bieber yet you never hear the Lamontagne all over the radio. This is surely more gifted, generous and basically more "musical" than your jabbering monkey boasting about the rims on his cars. Or some pre-pubescent, cliche spurting myrmidon with his hair combed sideways. It has warmth. It touches the soul. It creates love, not shallow, flashy bling.

[ssaaty]

I love this

[cattachilla]

Breathtakingly wonderful... melting...

[gtemp1974]

Your voice is like angels breathing smokeout

[gtemp1974]

Thanks for getting the baby to sleep again Ray :)

[Aremic043]

Ray Lamontagne music is power of soul !

[alieson88]

Ohhh Ray LaMontagne....you can't help but just sink into his music. It envelops you......

[puglover50]

Wow...You are something else...Love this song

[mizzflirtzz1]

This song speaks to me.. so much emotions

[jmtley]

I wish I had his voice.

[analyze185]

[2Granule]

[2Granule]

[michaelgino7]

@2Granule -SHELTER-

[Hippiepeace101]

this WILL play at my wedding. I adore this song and his beard

[dreampolice123]

"Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - ALWAYS see them, for they're ALWAYS there." ~Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Beacause...

Everything that was suppose to be wasnt, because what wasnt, what never was, that we wished for. We grew up waging war against birthday candles... Wishings our hearts would become handles for everytime we needed to get a grip...

[TattyMamba]

His beard blows my mind.

[bramblechops]

thumbs up

[avsrule27]

If you ask who invented panty soup, I would probably guess this guy.

[alieson88]

@avsrule27 LOL!!!



[Crusader132]

Anyone else notice them fighting the tempo in hold you in my arms!? Wow even Ray has tempo issues with his songs. check at 5:25 when he starts singing, and you can even see the drummer trying to coordinate with him

[amizzle08]

74 people are allergic to greatness.

[315knb]

Ray is one of my most favorite musicians ever!

[energywork]

love that song

[unalynch]

greaat voice

[kithkin01]

I need to meet him

[ThePandaEmily]

It tells me so much when a singer shares his emotions with us through his voice.. He gives his song life, I just close my eyes and live the moment he is sharing with us <3

[lsouhrada]

I'm definatley a metal fan but this owns my heart makes me think of her! Wow i really fucked up!!

[craigzarkos]

Does anyone know what venue this was filmed at?

[tinker277]

@craigzarkos it was filmed and recorded at St. Lukes in London UK

[greenbluegreyful]

apparently 71 people have very pathetic lives.

[mireillekitten]

melts me.............

[amylove991]

If you love this as much as I do you will fall in love with Pablo Blaqk's song Find your way. Absolutely beautiful. These are two fantastic artist we get to share. <3

[gtuttle1982]

@amylove991 Agreed!! Love me some Pablo!!!

[ronnie3704]

@amylove991 Jeez, I'm glad I found your post. I never heard of Pablo until I listened to him after reading your post. He is absolutely mesmerizing! 

[ZZZLover]

[burnz2188]

This.....this makes me know that people still have hearts....still have longing and hunger. You know?

[itsmystupidname]

I want to be his lover!

[Duhmetoo]

He's one of those artist you know you may never meet but when he sings it's like he's singing it for you.

[WiteLightnin74]

This man is in the zone. Love it!

[jotakagejotaachege]

I love this song...

[ripitbu]

Beautiful song but I can't watch the video. It does't fit the mood.

[CPenticoff1]

I Love you Ray~♥♥♥

[cmarcelo10]

Don't you just love real music?

[merebear440]

<3

[juketheuke]

Ray <3 amazing!! I love to see the female bass player as well! We don't see enough of them! I'm inspired, in many different ways

[cche16]

i actually prefer this version to the one on the album. but i still like both.

[dreampolice123]

T.s elliot(Love Poem) and many other of his poems are great to follow up on

Also, another inspiring person you'll wanna check out,

Shane koyczan has beautiful work, like.

Move Pen Move...

[thomasworthington8]

[kellss100]

[kotic08]

[ash1991sutton]

[ash1991sutton]

Love him and this! Twitawoo. <3

[theregsband]

One of my fave of Ray. Have you heard The Regulars Band cover Repo Man by Ray? It's tasty

[MAKUK64]

Ray is the man

[fogtown93]

I hope he really brings back the 1900-1930's Gentleman look XD

[rakheshpm]

71 people have no soul. Who in their right mind would dislike this?

[NumbAsAStatue27]

This such an incredible version of this song. Shelter was the first Ray Lamontagne song i ever heard and this is like hearing it for the first time all over again. He puts such heart and soul into his music, its incredible to hear. We really do need more artists out there like him

[JoshRubinstein]

Lov Steve Katz in the video responses! Such a beautiful song!! a huge wow!!

[SneziTissue]

He knows how to make the toughest man in the world cry. He needs more credit than he actually gets. He puts his heart and soul into every performance.

[Baywoolbull]

Ray makes me happy. :)

[shtboxexpose]

I shamelessly have never heard this chap sing!

Bravo! Ray L

[MsELJackson]

My friend and i came to the conclusion that Mr Lamontagne's deep husky beautiful pure soulful voice envokes what we call 'THE DEED!' yep! unintentionally but so very true! An absolute inspiration this man!!

[TheDrakester1987]

it's quite confusing to me that there are actually people who disliked this vid.

[dreampolice123]

His music inspirers me, not to be just a gentlemen to others just because but because I am a gentlemen, keep telling your stories...

[faker807]

Very Very... goo..

linda...

mesmo..;

[LittleSis28]

I love Ray LaMontagne, but he kinda looks like a homeless person. Haha... ha... aww...

[soniaraw228]

@LittleSis28 ---___----

[LoveArabaLove]

He looks so humble!!!! Music like this is being brought back and i love it. It will take time but good things come to those who wait.

[devonsid]

If I'm having a shitty day! 2 things.. Either listen to some Ray or I sprinkler alittle muppet over anything.

[Heavenlyange10]

LOVE YOUR MUSIC!! YVETTE

[RockyTOP2713]

How could anyone dislike this song......hits the soul

[daneielessilva]

Emoção pura... me faz chorar!



[stairwaygoddess]

I bet he is one heck of a lover. :)

[nessie531]

@stairwaygoddess His voice makes me melt!!! I can only imagine if he really was singing to me!!

[lvginclp]

@stairwaygoddess - agreed. Swoon.

[freedomcostsabuck05]

Jesus got bored of pretending to be dead.

[illonfononvaterca]

The Voice!!!!!

[meziuti]

03:35 "i will shelter your mom"

[meziuti]

03:37 "i will shelter your mom"

[EricTownzen]

this song is about loving someone then joining people who are with aliens, murdering the one he loved in the sickest anfd scariest way then saying hell be arounbd for THEM and watch while he murders someone tpo try to take something she made from her and make it his and lives because of it in a bad way.

[baddestbarbii]

@EricTownzen yes, yes it is

[lucareid]

If I had to choose between Ray's voice or women for the rest of my life, I would leave behind women and never be lonely again.

[Adolf32]

@lucareid

lmao, that is HILARIOUSLY gay, but fair play to ye

[Adolf32]

@lucareid

lmao, that is HILARIOUSLY gay, but fair play to ye

[SuperTroy20]

awesome....voice is crazy

[jhnchapa]

Buy his vinyl! They sound amazing to!

[songforafriend]

wow what a beautiful song o.O

[saolgragaire]

Ray has such a soulful sound and his songs such heartfelt lyrics....definitely music to listen to while cozying up with that special person in your life!! Really want to see him this week!!!!

[kiera0515]

one of the few musicians of today that i have been willing to buy music from

[GeraldP1983]

soulfulll!

[1Ma9iN8tive]

If Ray were a Bruce Springsteen song he'd be the Bruce Springsteen cover of this song

[MACLOBIO25]

Little bit like Joe cocker....excellent song

[jfrancis2122]

I listen to this song 5 times in a row ...What a voice ..Real music exsist in this guy ....Excellent voice.Way to go ray........

[mysmarthayogananda]

First saw Ray at a Brandi Carlile concert in San Diego. I imagined he'd be good; I had no idea how deeply my soul would be moved. When an artist has you crying--good tears--as you listen to songs you've never heard before, you know there's genius at work. Best. Concert. Ever. Instant fan forever.

[theindieitch]

go to reverbnation . com / thehumanorchestra

[bent2371]

Does he say he will shelter my mom at minute 3:37? What the hell Ray? I was just listening to your song and you got to come along with the mom stuff.

[Oumeimus]

Completely right : THIS IS AN AMAZING VERSION.

[pheonix628]

I wish Ray would do a duet with Ellie Goulding, that'd be amazing

[davidhopkinsmusic]

Check out my duet with Damien Rice "There Are Debts" on my channel! And also my duet with Laura Jansen "Dublin".

[pdiz5150]

this guy has an amazing voice. This song and trouble are my favorites by him!

[Marz2727]

The huskiness of his voice tears you open and the soulfulness of it heals you over again

[TheAnilorak]

jestem totalnie oczarowana tym kawałkiem

Amazing song

[luvbittn]

<3 *sigh*

[555thelight]

I LOVE YOU!! :-) I could hold you in my arms ;-)

[luffy0573]

a shelter is really a shelter or its just a lie?i

wonder what someone should do,to be somebodys shelter not just look like that...

[terdlife]

Just because you use commas and humility in the same sentence.... U ain't smart

[terdlife]

Son of Telstar? That hastobethe biggest line of ullshit I have ever heard!

[sonofTelstar]

Ray has big soul, a certain magic, that forces you, beautifully, to humility in the face of love

[sulu2424]

Wow-so moving

[SneziTissue]

Wow Amazing Better Live

[mikeandbone]

this man is country

[Massachio1]

I wish I could buy this recording... I bought Shelter from Itunes and it's not nearly as good.

[debbiep85]

one word ............ WOW ! x

[TheDayDreamer2U]

he is simply wonderful.. I love all of his music.. 

[rdaines1]

100 percent guaranteed every couple in that audience shagged like rabbits after this show

[keef71]

@rdaines1 they would not!!! they would make beautiful love together for once in their lives ;-)

[carrotsandnutella]

That chorus, imagine it live at a concert.

[samy035]

Jesus wasn't a black man . you are crazy .

[livinlargeindublin]

@samy035 No one actually knows whether Jesus was black or white. Interestingly enough, he was probably Middle Eastern in color.

[robinoo91]

@livinlargeindublin are you talking about the skin color of a man who never have existed?

[livinlargeindublin]

@robinoo91 I'm talking about the skin color of Jesus. Whether he existed or not is beside the point...

[tillymay137]

@samy035 ray isnt a black man

[chillmonster]

@tillymay137 BS. Just listen to him.

[slrmclarenfreak]

If Ray LaMontagne were a pancake, he would be a good pancake.

[papagriz33]

@slrmclarenfreak He would be a bearded pancake.

[DK28749]

@slrmclarenfreak ahaha is that supose to make sense? x)

[tommyhoops1888]

@slrmclarenfreak like that saying lol

[jasonlmusic]

@slrmclarenfreak this might be the best comment ever. :)

[majorswiftie]

@slrmclarenfreak lol (:

[iamwearingakaccha]

@slrmclarenfreak this must be like the most bizzare and funniest comment ever lol

[AuroraBlue76]

@slrmclarenfreak Bahahahaha! What?!



[nationhopper8]

@slrmclarenfreak that is a brilliant comparison

[JoshRubinstein]

STEVE KATZ in the video responses is so good!!!! really impressed!!!!!

[jenniferstone92]

@JoshRubinstein I agree with you, I went to his channel (stevekatzmusic.)He has great tunes! And he is a terrific guitar player. So glad I came across!

[freshborn66]

this song is undescribable, therse no words for the voice it takes me too? only my goddd? love this track sooooo much, till my dying day, xxxxxxxxxxx thanks ray x

[27Glory]

What real music sounds like. Beautiful!

[lyric913]

love his music, every since i first heard it at work over the radio in Home Depot

[foccha]

I read this song was the inspiration for Beyonce's Halo. This is way better.

[goonsie]

Just as cool as the music itself are the comments by his fans. This brilliant artist has attracted beautiful people. I've enjoyed reading these comments--super soulful and nicely worded.

[jro2498]

Musical Genius!

[andrewmckayja]

Absolute FAN!! Its like his voice gets under your skin, in your head and in your heart.... Then it just stays there .. :-)

[mjoym1621]

2,338,056 views...and I'm pretty certain that 1,456,184 of those views are just me...I cannot get enough of this man!!!!!

[XXgoblinmonkeyXX]

i really think he is a verry important artist helping to preserve a genre of music thats fallen by the wayside and forgotten by corporate music. the first 20 seconds has more substance than every song played on the radio in the last 24 hours.

[JaredJensenLuvr]

SO AMAZING! He has such a beautiful voice, one of my all-time favorites.

[toddallenhooper]

So mellow, so vibey, so cool...

[crazywrabbit]

Saw him live, fantastic sound

[jenniferstone92]

Beautiful,beautiful song by STEVE KATZ (stevekatzmusic) in the video responses!!!! Wow!!!

[TheMillie92]

tihs man is amazing

[nostanova]

I always think he looks like richard chamberlain in Shogun

[MrOoseal]

@nostanova  Haha i thought he looked familiar, now i know

[lup1up]

Yeahh!! Ray the Mountain is AWESOMEE

[Brandiejl]

I can not get enough of this song. Mmmmmm!

[ronnie789321]

Amen, Brother!

[bweb55]

Is there a dvd for this show?

[jeje18xxx]

amazing ! yeah. :)

[sammyc1471]

Has anybody ever seen Ray and Jesus in the same room at the sme time?

[nrok777]

@sammyc1471

He must be Jesus, with that amazing voice xD

[VERB65]

@sammyc1471 Funny!!!,but Jesus was a black man. However,Ray does have soul

[mrsoppegard]

@sammyc1471 Ray is Jesus

[zfinnan]

@sammyc1471 Yes, I believe they are one in the same lol

[theoneandonlynatalie]

@sammyc1471 has anybody ever seen anyone and jesus in the same room and the same time?!
