She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters
Walk on down the hill
Through the grass grown tall and brown
And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain
On past the busted back
Of that old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field collecting rain
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged
Of these cutthroat busted sunsets
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusty dimestore lips
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me
Lay your blouse across the chair
Let fall the flowers from your hair
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
To me it sounds like they're applauding us
The quiet love we make
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged
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
I must admit you kinda bore me
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
There's a lot of ways to die
Yes and some already dead who walk beside me
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Why so many people lie
Well it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me.
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters

There are many great lines in this poetic song, but this one really hits home.

I suffered from major depression for years before finally finding medication that helped me back to life. For me this song is the best expression of that feeling that I’ve ever heard
That fourth verse though...
Nice song, but shame about his asthma

I love this song on its own merits. I also love that Ray & I are separated by six days & about 100 miles from being twins (or, in my case, triplets - I already have a twin brother).

Solano? It appears that the Spanish word is derived from the Latin word solanus, which according to one definition means east wind. I always thought solanus meant solitary, which is one of the reasons I use it as an online persona. I also had a D&D character way back when in grade school that had that as his first name, probably before I had any idea where the word came from, just thought it sounded cool.

Hard for me to listen to Ray Lamontagne 'cause it sparks memories of a complicated woman I knew in Asheville, NC who played his stuff all of the time while plying her witchy ways nonetheless. See how music sparks flashbacks? That's a good thing, right?

Just good songwriting.
With each play I fall deeper into the trance and now move this to a 10 simply because it deserves to be there. Counting this as one of my many RP blessings.
You are one of them too, Bill G.

Saw him pre-pandemic with Jim James of My Morning Jacket backing him. What a show. What a talent.
Love the artist. Just introduced to this song. Another thanks to Bill and Rebecca.
A really excellent song, I like a lot of his stuff.
So much "10" for this song. Mmmmmm.....
First time I've heard this in a while. Been there, done that (as I'm sure many of you have) and so moved I bumped it to a 10.
He is a true poet.

Ray really does have words.
Lovely words.
Sad words
Words to make you feel any emotion he wants us to feel.
I don't recall any other song where the comments contain all the special words that speak to the listener.

There's a lot of things I don't understand
Why so many people lie
Well it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me.
I forgive the improper grammar. This speaks volumes . Of coarse, a liar would never understand why.

Will I always feel this way ‒
So empty, so estranged?
As it turns out....no.
Well, I looked my demons in the eyes
laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me.
You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me."

Going to the Picasso Exhibition tomorrow with anticipation of a great couple of hours. RL not so much couple of minutes, the gasping still distracts from what is undeniably poetry.
Beautiful use of breathing and mic technique as a rhythm instrument. So many decisions and intuitive inflections go into a innovative, soulful vocal performance. Having that nuance translated as an injury or weakness by some is a small price to pay for art. Understanding where the eyes occur on a human face and choosing to interpret an abstraction of reality produces condescension, as well.

Perhaps Businessgypsy means to say "controversy" (or means something like controversy or differences of opinion) in lieu of condescension. The cubist painting appears to be a clue. Cubism seeks to view an object from more than one viewpoint in an abstract form. Not everyone likes abstract art but it is undeniably Art.

Let fall the flowers from your hair

As it turns out, no...I didn't always feel that way...no longer empty and estranged...things work out.
I can't sing along with Ray; the sound is like a deep moaning somewhere low in my throat. And the words are hard to make.
The question and its answer in the same song!

Summertime, RP, Pete's coffee, and Barack Hussein Obama in the White House and I'm good to go until next winter.
I like your checklist, Rdo, but
1. Could we have a bit less rain from here on out?
2. Peets Sumatra rocks.
3. Could you tell BHO to rein in his NSA temps? Pretty sure that the 4th Amendment does not allow contractors like Eric Snowden to wiretap Americans at will and without a warrant. But yes, Obama's much better than the nightmare of President Mittens.

I just want to buy this guy a ventilator. Iron Lung. Something.

Well I've heard this whiny song (BREATH) so many times (BREATH) I must admit it bores me (BREATH).
I will always (BREATH) feel (BREATH) this (BREATH) way.

I choose to ignore all the negative comments. This song can make even the worst day of my week bearable. "I've been to hell and back so many times, I must admit, you kind of bore me..."
Love this song.
Love this song.
Post Xmas blues...feeling a little depressed today...facing the fiscal cliff...the only consolation I have is that prick Romney didn't win...

I would like to sign up and be your first customer! Thanks to RP I have had the chance to listen to great quality music.

Sometimes RP just feels like it's a soundtrack to a nursing home.

Like him for that!
