ray lamontagne's song - empty

[TonaBella78]

I really wish you would redo this video over with a cleaner cut of this song...than it would be AMAZING!!

[kdeekitt]

@TonaBella78

same here. unfortunately my computer with all the photos crashed. :( i'll have to work on making some new videos.

[SeabeeMerbitz]

all of ray's songs are deep like this one. that's what makes him such a good musician, because he can change ur emotions. let's just enjoy the music :)

[Martius100]

I felt empty to, only advice i can give is find god, read the bible, seek help by other people and we will cure.

[ennaisahoe12]

thank you, kdeekitt, for sharing this because ive never felt more alone in my life and you've given me some kind of hope knowing that someone feels exactly as i do. its like you took the words right from my mouth.

[Brookeyp123]

IF, we are all alone, at least we are all alone together.

Never forget that.

so perhaps we aren't so alone as we thought?

[JimB667]

ahh wow. I'm speechless. Do you know me somehow...

[Bluebella91]

Oh my god.. It's like I've written it myself..I feel EXACTLY the SAME WAY!!!! Once, I even wrote a song about it myself. When I was a child I also was afraid of darkness, but now that I'm an adult I'm afraid of the light. In my case it's like, I'm afraid of the future, but I'm also afraid to stay in the past. And everytime I fall down, I'm afraid to stand up again, because I could fall again. So now I just don't. (metaphorically)

[Joker61373]

Sometimes you cant help but feel in the dark walking toward the only light you see, but no matter how long, or how far you feel you walk, you just never reach that light, you long for the warmth, for the clarity of the light... some reach the light, but find that its warmth and glow fade...and your left in the darkness again

[gargorisyavidis]

At least we are not alone...

[distenes]

Where have you been all my life? This is me.

[Babalon]

Man, this is the first time I've enjoyed the comments for an artist! You guys are all cool, and I say that Ray has some pretty damn amazing followers. I love you guys. Your comments have really inspired me. Tx

[meganrhiannon47]

where did you find this version of the song? please and thank you :)

[aachiofalo]

This is truly how I feel after my divorce,I married my best friend & thought we would grow old together.He was my other half,so I thought.He ripped my heart out and lied to me everday,He never loved me.The funny thing is he is still the owner of my heart,sometimes I think I must be crazy to still love him, or maybe I learned the truth about love that when it is real it never dies...??? iF THE SUN REFUSED TO SHINE I WOULD STILL BE LOVING YOU...........................­...

[usedfanatic1988]

i think love has no clear exit, but its like somebody dying in the sense you learn to deal with the loss. its hard to love someone who is bad for you. but i wish you every luck and totally relate, hopefully you will find a place within yourself to box up the past. xx

[rlah151]

Use the secret. We have one life enjoy every moment of it. The "secret" is our faith, if you honestly believe it will happen then it shall. Every morning wake up and name one thing you like about yourself and say it aloud. After you have done that write a list of things you want to accomplish in life. The first three things on your list should be tasks you have already accomplished. It feels good to cross things off a list.

[Apmoponhon]

I'm gonna take advice from someone on the internet for the first time ever.

[astralfly]

everbody has to pass for this things, but in the end it makes you stronger... heads up

[sanmattia]

Peace friend. You are not alone. :)

You´ll find your strenght  deep inside your heart.

[cottonE100]

I feel your pain and your beauty. You sound like an angel with music for the soul. Thank you.

[sparkpeopleup]

*tear* and thank you

[Godlygrl19]

read ISAIAH 40:28-31 it talks bout how wen life beats down soo far and u feel likeu cant go on one more step God is right there saying keep going im here i love u and lean on me if u ...now if u have faith in God with that ....thats up to u....another thing id encourage uto watch louie gigilo how great is our God its an awesome video and changed my life..o hope it will touch urs! god bless.

[QTheorist]

I think people like yourself feel depressed because of an inability to reconcile the world that is to the world that should be. You see that world and at moments live in it. You hear the "beat of a different drum", and wonder why everyone else seems deaf. Your job like mine is to express what they cannot hear. As you said: "I am afraid to step out afraid to become more". Find that thing that drives you and God will be standing there. Embrace it, reflect it and your life will heal others.

[nauticalbronco]

you emo nerd. maybe youre depressed because this is what you do with your time? go outside and fly a kite and enjoy some sunshine instead of thinking of dark ominous ways to ruin perfectly good songs.

[williamsroth]

Nice job. My 12 year old is going through depression and ADD simultaneously. Made me think of him. Thanks so much for sharing. Makes me feel less alone as I help him through his struggles.

[BluxWhisperwolf]

Went through the same stuff, the first years of highschool were a nightmare for me. Make sure he stays in school and away from drugs. A hobby to express himself is good aswell. I didn't and ended up blaming school and adults for all my problems. And skipped school alot.

[Amnelholguin]

So many things I can say...

but Im absolutly lost for words!

all I can manage to say is you struck a cord in my heart only GOD Himself has ever managed to do!

and for this I thank you....

be blessed!

[darinjinsc]

loved it. saved for sure to my playlist. thanks....

[iloveyou2411]

aw this is so good!

love it

x

[challiray]

god bless you. you managed so sum up my exact emotional albatross so brilliantly i almost fuckin cried. good job! peace.

[sarafaith7]

breathtaking, You really have something here.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

[fraggleoff]

the quotes are very negative

i love when he describes the rain as 'applauding' its something ive often thought of

[mixte]

I've had this video in my playlist for so long and up until today, I've been ignoring the video and just enjoying the music. I now realize how much I needed this video. The quotations really hit home. I really felt alone in my feelings, thoughts, and actions. Thanks for the remedy. =)

[sargentskunk09]

my favorite ray track, sounds a little distorted but very good, video fits well but needs 2 run til the end if the song. make more vids

[nicolje]

Jump!

[magnifiedapples]

omg that wore me out. stop.

[acoustictygar]

its actually quite simple....you mentioned God in this video... why dont you try listening to him.

Were all sinners, we all fall short of the glory of God. if you realize that, you'll understand a lot of things. people will dissapiont you, you will dissapoint yourself because were all imperfect, and always will be. everyone sins, everyone needs a savior... including you.

[rendofarend]

Just cut yourself....

i know you want 2

[hugechill]

Holy crap. Buck up little camper.

[tdoggherrera]

This is truly a great version of this song, but you need to fuckin' suck it up you pussy... wake up!!!

[mrclockdoesntrock]

This song is so sad...I love it.

[JeramyTheGirl]

I think We are our biggest critics.

I know I hurt myself more than anyone else ever would. In a way that's reasssuring. But I think I'm going to stop being so hrash on myself.

I think we inhibit ourselves to much, afterall there's always beauty in bitterness, so lice with it.

[TheOwl54]

Well, I agree - just as Leechdom told us - but I would say: you CAN be your greatest enemy. Oh yes, this works very well ! And I'm very familiar with this role.

But on the other hand it's also possible to be your greatest friend. It's hard sometimes to train oneself towards this point of view. But at the same time it's very healthy for soul & spirit. If you want to be loved, start with loving & accepting yourself !

Thank's Kdeekitt for this beautiful video & this wonderful song !

[SiverJohn17]

Hey i watched it and i felt it was me in a lot of parts but i am not being over dramatic nor a fool just being honest that is what we need honesty if we are not honest with ourselves and our friends than who can we be honest with any ways at one point and life and mormally in more than one point and one moment we hurt ourselves others everyone we become secretive instead of letting our feelings be known I am here at this moment i call it stabs in the heart and it makes me feel miserable

[mististar]

I love this video and the song, its so where I am right now

[richardlewinb]

I have water in my ears, even so I'm OK and in your heart of ? so are you.

[alexx0115]

i don't believe this video to be too sappy at all. i see these quotes as sharing a deeply relatable feeling that everyone has. it's almost a secret feeling that we keep from others, sometimes even ourselves. it made me realise how i feel and to be honest it makes me want to change some things about the way i am... great song too.. i first heard it on jessica biel's myspace page.. idk if that's how you spell her name lol

[leechdom]

you will allways be your greatest enemy. out of everyone you know.. you are the one that you can NEVER trust. but at the same time. you cant look to anyone but yourself. confusing isn't it :) funny i think.

[robertchristianevans]

eelriverproductions ---

Don't feel sorry please. Like our friend, lovecalder, I too am not at all bitter. And have a pretty extraordinary and full life. I was just reacting to some of the over-the-top histrionic, gimmeabreak emotional reactions to what clearly is - LaMontagne's wonderful and touching piece of music and lyrics.

[lovecalder]

Oh my godddddd.

[robertchristianevans]

Do us all a favor. See a shrink. Talk to your priest or rabbi. Get over yourself.

[eelriverproductions]

I truly feel for you i'm sorry your so empty,there was something postive in every quote,life has made you bitter when you cant see the beuty

[lovecalder]

I'm not bitter, but I still think this is lame. You don't have to be super-emotional and sappy to see beauty in life.

[p1easantpheasant]

I can't remember the last time i've cried....Its been too long....thank you.

[hoowster]

Makes me think of family and how far I am from them.how I let them down.

"Well I looked my demons in the eye

Laid bare my chest, said do your best destroy me

See I've been to hell and back so many times......

Many thoughts here, you have have reached into me and found the words I could not find...

[Ninix23]

Such a beautiful song..

[k8t1345]

^_^ Thank you! This is awesome.

[GuitarSista]

I really felt your words or whoever's words they are. But I wanted to Thank you for posting this because it made me realize that there are other people going thru exactly what I am going thru right now! We are not alone. If we could all see inside ourselves and find the love right there. It has never left us!

[kdeekitt]

i just wanted to tell you all that have watched this and left messages how nice it feels to know i wasn't the only one out there that felt lost. i hope that the video has touched you and you all will be able to get past the more difficult times in life.

[Fizikal14]

boo fuckin hoo?

[Justen1980]

wow i have to meet who ever put this together! that was like my thoughts and feelings expressed to the utter core.

[kain6907]

oops I was the one that wrote this but my cousin was logged in. im not 27 years old lmao what a loser who TF is 27???

[g0vinda]

The most amazing thing about this medium in math is that it connects our feelings and understanding of ourselves. How many of you have wondered if you were the only ones who felt this way? You reach out into this algorithm and awake to the reality that this has become a part of the national unconsciousness. We need to start helping each other more. Peace.

[ShylaTimeless]

Amen ... and peace to you as well ...

[DCraig2000]

Wow! It's like you tore storyboards from my mind. Well done. I'm assuming that was from your heart, it hit too close to home not to be. It sucks being trapped inside that bubble. The real question is whether the bubble is comprised of self pity or something deeper than we can access. That song can suck you in and make you listen to it over and over and over again. The MAN has talent and more importantly, it comes from a real place. God Bless Him! and YOU!!

[TheSKeB]

I, too feel every bit of this in my own life. I strive to break free, get past that barrier or bubble. I have spent countless hours in deep thought, writing things, trying to touch where it comes from, but cannot. It is still there, you cannot comprehend it. You can only feel it. LaMontagne also lived this way. He knows of this feeling all too well. He hit the bullseye. I am still trying to understand it, for I believe that when I do, I can break free. I feel I might finally be making progress.

[Amnelholguin]

Im hopping it's not that deep that it falls behond our reach!

Im so desperatly stuguling to bust this bubble and brake free!!!

With God's help I know I WILL,

But still it remains all the more real and painfull and sometimes I ponder if it is after all "comprised self pity"....

[Litt1eWing]

Awesome mixed medium:):)!!

[Rafleren]

Fantastic song and nice job with the written words put to it. I haver never heard this version before though, where is it from?

[mileswilde]

i like the original one

its haunting

[Gl0ckland]

Is this the original? Because I know there's another where his voice isn't hazed sounding. Either way, I'm completely in love with this song and Ray LaMontagne in general.

[twilightaddictee]

Love the song and love this video!!!

[noiseyphil]

great video. lovely.

[AthenasLullabY]

Great Video, captivating, heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time...

[stonethecrow111]

That was brilliant, completely summed up the song and added so much more as well. Thanks!

[orsino2]

You now have me in tears. This is one of my favorite songs and I kind of needed that. Thank you.

[Androdesiac]

this is soul touchin, insightful and profoundly beautiful good job sweetness

[Charlie2tone]

Just lovely and heartfelt, good job!
