  • is it just me or does he look like a young Donald Sutherland from afar

  • the man is genius. wow.

  • Everything about those drums is just filthy!! :D

  • YOU look beautiful raaayyy

  • OMG WTF? the fifth video?

  • @pcmedic100 u r goin to post that on this video? For real? Thats stupid and pathetic! U can at least something bout the song!

  • alright u look bueatiful who the fuck is he talking too lol

  • Great Song..and very unique voice. Really beautiful.

  • i love his music !! can somebody can tell me what is his guitar ? please

  • Be still my heart. This is such an amazing song and artist.

  • Ireland here, I bought the album as soon as I heard this track in UK charts, or play lists of national radio. There are so many brilliant artists at this level. It's like a different level of exposure over the media. Look up FOY VANCE from Northern Ireland..I'm sure some of you may have heard of him.

  • First I've heard him tonight and I'm sold. He's got an enormous future and I agree with the person who said he could be another Bob Seger-type. We need more Seger-types.

  • MY butt itches

  • Love

  • MARAVILLOSO, SENCILLO,FRAGIL,TENUE,UNA BRISA DEL MAR Y DE LA MONTAÑA

  • There are real artists out in the world, you just have to find them. 

  • How the hell can he sing like that? incredible.

  • They are going off on those violins! Beautiful song!

  • Such a great voice and songwriter, Ray remids me of Bob Seger in a lot of ways. I wonder if he is one of Ray's influences?

  • Ray u are the best! U have sooo much talent and your voice is amazing!!

  • bonne musique !!!

  • so amazing

  • When I hear this song I think of the poor little dog in the Travelers Insurance commercial- worried about his bone!! lol

  • @shalynn77 I love that commercial!

  • @CorazonCosta92 I was just thinking the same thing!! You hear a song then you hear them "live" & you're like OMG...autotune much. But this guy, Wow what an incredible voice!

  • easily one of the best in the world

  • there's perfection... and then there's his voice.

  • his voice is so rough yet so smooth :) love his songs

  • This Kat can sing!

  • @hollaback61694 haha i literally just thought those beautiful thoughts. justin vernon, ray, and amos lee.magic

  • Ray Lamontagne and Justin Vernon. Yes Please.

  • I can dig it ray

  • this guy reminds me of james morrison

  • Real talk...i am a young black man who pretty much listens to R&B and hip hop....but this song and his voice is the SHIT!!!!!!!!!! Its just down right good music!

  • @ballen28 who cares what fucking "colour" you are???? For fucks sakes, lets all grow the fuck up and get an education..

    Thanks Ray...

  • @SOCRATES012

    Well my good sir, i was just expressing how great music can overcome social patterns and cultural habits. It ca n breakdown what one is use to and open a persons world to the unexplored. Soooo you little bitch, i am grown and i am well educated. How about you let everyone express how they feel and stop trying to be "that guy" who has a clever response to what people post...You fucking R-tard!!!!!

  • @ballen28 100% agreed! Too many post police out there.

  • @SOCRATES012 well said you got my vote

  • Music as it should be...gets you in the gut. This man's voice is like silk. Thank you for making real music!

  • what music was meant to be ..thanks RAY..

  • Is a sensual voice ... It's real music & EXCELLENT song . I love it

  • First time i heard this song it sent shivers down my spine and a lot of listens later,it still does!! Stone cold classic,

  • gorgeous

  • This is the best draft of this song, Trouble,on youtube. Thank you!

  • love this artist , what a voice.. so glad i have found him...

  • His music speaks to me. All time favorite

  • Ray's voice moves me so much, such an amazing singer and songwriter. I could listen to him all day.

  • ...."i've been saved by a woman, she won't let me go"....

    I wish i was that woman Ray!!....You're amazing!....xx

  • Ray made some really noticeable changes to the way in which he expresses his vocal abilities. His voice is extremely powerful and in some places during earlier versions of this song being performed, the "I've been saved part", was almost too strong. I really like the way he toned down his voice a bit, and I think that it greatly adds to the delight of listening to his music. A + Mr. LaMontangne!! !!!

  • @Thesmartestdummy I think it's because he's in a smaller acoustic setting where the softer version fits. When he did this song at Austin City Limits Music Fest. this year he wailed on "Saved by a woman..." and it was just as beautiful as any other version ^^ All about knowing the time and place.

  • i love rays beard!!!

  • those sick sick 23 ppl !. . .

  • B E A  U T I F U L

  • Very beautiful!!

  • Aah, whiskey and cigarettes have such a magical effect on one's voice :P

  • i got chillz when he started signing!

  • hands up who thinks he is just a reincarnation of the amazing richard manuel ??? my hands r sky high !!!!

  • The rough of his throat sends me somewhere sacred.

  • Excellent vocals, clarity in tone, verberations, and emotion. Love the live band!!! You get two thumbs up!

  • Saw Ray last night in Atlanta.....He is every bit as good in concert as he is in the studio. Pure soul, I say. Inspiring presentation. Get tickets if you can when he comes close.

  • I'm addicted, he's absolutely amazing!

  • I cant wait for him to be back in the UK, hopefully i'll be able to snap up my ticket :)

  • I love this man's voice, so unique and beautiful. it is breath-taking. too bad there are few real artists in today's music industry

  • @CorazonCosta92 What a load of bollocks.

  • @CorazonCosta92 There are more talented artists in todays music industry than in any other point in human history.

    If you can't find them, you just aren't looking.

  • Saw him last night at the Greek. He was amazing. If you ever get the chance to see him live go! Beautiful night ,what a awesome show.

  • Another dose of good music.. this needs a record player and vinyl.. something good to drink...maybe even a smile..... smh..

  • Absolutely luv this song!

  • IBSBRL (I've Been Saved By Ray LaMontagne)

  • This song is amazing and Ray is one of a kind.

  • This is what you call music. Something that makes your heart flutter as if you fell in love for the first time.

    Feels like a slap to you face at how fast you fall in love with this song

  • you can see in his eyes how much stage-fright he suffers from

  • Sometimes a song comes along that reminds you that there still is some real genius in this world. John Lennon would of LOVED this song.

  • The never will or has existed a man with such an amazing voice as Ray. He´s really one of a kind in all the good ways.

  • i looooooooooooooooooooove his voice!

  • how awesome is ray lamontagne.. i wish i had his voice

  • this particular song has caused me trouble in itself!! .. but i love it...

  • 20 people are in BIG trouble!!!!

  • Who is his bass player? She looks very familiar.

  • Too breathy when he sings. He seems afraid to hit any high notes when they seem like they would be perfect but he just stays in that lower register. Dull.

  • @trenken He has more money than you so he wins.

    Umad?

  • @trenken he has a raspy soulful voice, he's not a diva. let's hear you write something this beautiful.

  • I can't wait to see him in 2 weeks live!! Love Ray, everything about him is amazing.

  • I Love This Guys Voice. And I Am A DUDE.

  • 19 idiot

  • Absolutely love his voice... I've had it on repeat all week.

  • cmon ray hit that high note your voice is to amazing for those low notes.

  • holy shit this is amazing

  • I really like this

  • @ryan4065 I love it when people quiet their jobs and start righting music. #spellcheckdoesn'tcovergrammar

  • Thanks Steve GREAt pick!

  • The first time I heard this song was in the Travelers Insurance commercial (with the little dog burying his bone then dreaming about it). Luckily I have SoundHound on my iPhone. I've never even heard of him but this song is gold. I can't stop listening to it.

  • <3 you and your band!!! Call me I can be a groupie?? (sp) just kidding!!!!! I do love this song... I sing it to my 4yr old all the time<3

    

  • WOW!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT<3 <3 <3 PLease let me know when and where I can see you and your band:)

  • I love this!!!! I love great music and this is one of my favs<3 Fantastic job<3

  • I love this song makes me think of the 60's. Good music, good times.......

  • Comment removed

  • nice song..

  • 00:18 repeat

  • 16 dislikes???!! What is it to dislike??? Is it the shirt?? Did flanal drive 16 ppl crazy!!??

  • if he was any less talented as a singer he'd be bob dylan

  • Glad for the Traveler's commerical with the dog. I discovered this great singer. What a powerful and great voice.

  • @kev189110  check out Tab Benoit - Darkness

  • @kev189110 lol same here!! thank god for that commercial!!

  • I love that song

    

  • I like this guy.

  • love this song

  • Joe Cocker meets Kenny Loggins? Good song.

  • This here is a real singer who can sing live. A true artist at last!

  • Rebecca Black had over 10 million views in one day. This video doesn't even half half of a million. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MODERN MUSIC? Kill me now...

  • @gopflash

    ahahaha!!! My friend shows me that friggen Rebecca Black garbage the other day.....and you're absolutely right! Good music gets the back seat these days. =[

  • @gopflash They didn't watch Rebecca Black because she was good. They watched because it's a shipwreck.

  • @ahz123 OH, IS THAT WHY?  Glad you cleared that up, I was soooooo confused. Note: She was allowed to record and release another song. You can bet that will get more views than this.

  • amazing talent, God gifted voice !

  • gentle soul.

    music as soft spoken as this hasnt been heard since rod stuart.

    how refreshing :D

  • 17 people have trouble

  • That was just fantastic! :)

  • @chazbiker

    sold his sold to wall street how do you figure that as the song relates to trouble in the economic sense as the dog was tossing and turning. the song is very very much revelant.

  • You know, it just occurred to me: The song is about trouble in this guy's life, most recently in the form of a woman, but it transfers beautifully to that little worried dog as if it was written for that situation. - in much the same way the Sara McLaughlin song, Angel, at least the chorus, is talking about a desperate person about to commit suicide, not the heart-wrenching images of abused and neglected pets. Great work in both cases. Just an observation

  • i wanna see this guy do something with mumford and sons

  • if you don't listen to him and say "this is the answer to everything" then you are as good as dead.

  • Wow wow wow

  • A commercial with a dog brought me here. Damn this guy is good.

  • @onyxxx40 Me tooooooooooo!!!!!!!! haha I'm glad I like that dog commercial.

  • @onyxxx40 Me tooooooooooo!!!!!!!! haha I'm glad I like that dog commercial.

  • @onyxxx40 thanks God for the commercial, this guy is awesome !!!

    

  • 17 people must like lady gaga

  • We are very glad to have Ray living here in New England. I had a show on maine Public Radio back when ray sent out his first demo, and I am proud to have been among his first radio plays... This past week I saw him in front of a huge and enthusiastic crowd at Bonnaroo... To quote Van Morrison, "I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown."

  • Hi ! I must say "thanks" to Dohertykaki for having sent me this video, cause I've really enjoyed ! I like his way of playing simple chords with a great feeling ! A cool video. I've read that he was from New Hampshire ; it's a pity his songs don't "cross the sea" to arrive in France, or if he's famous here, I'm an ignorant, cause didn't know him. Cool video ! BYE !

  • @Tambino1, ain't nothin' but a thang! I really enjoyed your response, keep up the good work...

  • Wait a minute. How do you even know who he is talking to? His Mom? His Sister? Lover that is gone?

    You don't know. We dont know. Only Ray knows and he is beautiful.

  • Excellent vocal, timeless quality to his songs

  • I'm sure a lot of people love this song, but it is so lame and sad. Some people like feeling lame and sad, so I can see how one would enjoy this song. Yuck, I feel shitty about saying something negative because I try not to do that, but I can't help it. I've heard this god awful song on the Traveler's commercial for about a year. I get Lame and sad at times too. In which case I put on soul/Motown. I'm sure people dislike that and that is their opinion just like this comment is mine.

  • @Tambino1 I like that people are just ignoring your comment. Why be negative? I truly don't understand that. Yes, you're entitled to your opinion, but wouldn't it make more sense to just not comment at all? If you don't like the song, why are you even on the video's page?

  • @oneeyetheory I usually don't. When I write anything I try to make it positive. The main reason I don't like it is because it's on a commercial that has been shoved down my throat. If heard in a different context I might have a different opinion. At any rate, you are right. I shouldn't be negative. I have only been a troll ONE other time on youtube....No one's perfect. I'm glad you like him and called me out. Enjoy Ray

  • The Legend that is Ray Lamontagne

  • Where is he from?

  • @SynGateslover101 New Hampshire 

  • Best song ever written. Story of my life. Thank you for posting this.

  • THIS IS AMAZINNGGGGG

  • Im so tired of the shit music on the radio these days! This guys voice is bringing back a lifeline to truely great music!

  • You know the music is good when you look down and your foot is tapping and you didn't even know.

  • @JacobsBrendan I was tapping my foot while i was reading this xD

  • Black, white, purple, orange, mauve, tangerine - wow! I guess we're really as a 'human race' still not getting over this racial BS - there are certain things I am particularly sensitive about as well... ..could we stop hopping on each other's friggin' backs about the racial issues--2011! Ray looks like a basic vanilla white dude to me...what of it.?..His voice is so amazing, like butter and YES, a lot of black people seem to have the same 'tone' of voice...I WISH!

  • @beingshar Funny everyone saying he sounds black, thought he was black or whatever...I just thought he perfected his voice by smoking blunts, but needs to start using a vaporizer while on occasion hitting the blunt for voice maintenance.

  • Bless this man for being and admitting he is uncomfortable (saw him on Sittin' in with Elvis Costello) performing LIVE, yet with such talent he still presses on and shares his beauty and amazing music with us....Thanks Ray!

  • His voice is amazing <3 And he looks like Jesus :D

  • @mayyyoh:

    Really, like Jesus...smh.

  • Comment removed

  • Just saw him do this song in Maine at the Bangor water front.

  • Many other supposed artists need to take notes from this man...he sounds wonderful live. No studio needed to make this man's voice amazing

  • wow.. such a beautiful man with a great (heart) voice.! <3

  • Amazing!

    

  • Kippevel O.O

    Translation : Goosebumbs ? xD

  • Twuuuble, twuble twuble...

  • How come the strings always need sheet music, and other band members never do?

  • @megghegg Strings were probably just session musicians that came to do this one gig

  • omg his voice is gorgeous, what a beautiful man

  • I have heard this song a thousand times on a commercial, but thought it was a black woman. lol When I finally discovered who it was I bought the album and am now a huge fan of Ray. He is an artist and is crazy as discovered from interviews I have watched, but crazy is cool! Love you Ray...Keep the music coming!

  • @davidthecook So the music SOUNDS different because the singer looks different than you thought. I'm confused.

  • @elewewhy You are reading into what I said to much when I said, " ...thought it was a black woman. lol When I finally discovered who it was I bought the album and am now a huge fan of Ray". I am not a huge fan because I know who it is that did it, I am a huge fan because I like the music he makes. :"When I discovered who it was I bought the album" doesn't mean 'when I found out he wasn't a black female' haha. I simply had to find out to buy it.

  • @davidthecook Fair enough. It seems so many youtube comments are vaguely (or openly) racist/homophobic, I'm conditioned to assume the worst in what others write. This time it made an ass out of me. And to be fair, the first time I heard "Beg Steal Borrow" I thought it was an old Joni Mitchell song. Ray is a vocal chameleon. A delightful vocal chameleon.

  • @elewewhy I understand that. I enjoy bumping heads with people who post racial and homophobic comments to once in awhile. Anyway good day to you and yours!

  • Comment removed

  • @davidthecook

    I thought it was Anthony Hamilton (a black guy :)) when I finally discovered who it was I still bought it because it was good.

  • lovely

  • Absolutely Amazing! I'm addicted for sure. Thanks for sharing :)

  • 0:21 Conan?

  • When it comes to music ... you don't beat acoustic music <3

  • SUCH A PIMP

  • I first heard this song in my dad's cd player....and I've loved it ever since....thanks dad

  • Love it!

  • I keep seeing the little dog trying to find a safe place for his bone.

  • @OLDSKOOL60813

    hahaha

    :)
