LaMontagne, Ray - Drive-In Movies Lyrics

Love the Dylan "Nashville Skyline" and The Band influence here. Such a great fk'n song.

Good song.

but this song, i really don't wanna say anything

"...but the cops let him off 'cause they think he's cool..."

'Lay Lady, Lay' anyone?

The only drive in near me is one on the border of Detroit. you don't go there at night unless you at least have a knife on you. A lot of thugs who like to start stuff with the white kid and his girl, lots of druggies, lots of drunks.

At least you have a drive-in.

I live in England....all we have is.......RAIN.

Bring a cat next time. They hate cats

great use of STEEL and autoharp! my fave on this cd

I've heard this song at McDonald's many times. I really like it.

This song makes me happy

... This isn't the Stones, its not the Grateful Dead, or ant other 60's band. Its Ray LaMontagne. Father John Misty is Father John Misty. Cage The Elephant is Cage The Elephant, And the Black Keys are the Black Keys.
people for years complained where music was going, and now it just seems like no one wants to accept embrace these tunes, just compare them to others.
Musicians are not re writing 60's ballads, we are just playing what we feel.

WELL SAID......WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And John Schaak is the King of the Dork Parade.

This is the song that appeared in that Hulu commercial, "The Joy of the Season."  Been looking for it for a while.

I have been looking for this song for FOREVER

Same.  Let me guess, the Hulu commercial?

+CuddleTime Kitty Just heard it on the way home again after a long time...could never find it until now! LOL

+SocietyPuppet  I am a dog

+Rain Dogg Good to know...

The hook sounds an awful lot like Franklins Tower by the Grateful Dead...

@John Waas Actually the change sounds like Zeppelin's "Hey, Hey What Can I Do."

@Alex Newman More importantly, why is Nils Lofgrin doing the lead vocals?

@Alex Newman Maybe it's the steel guitar, but to me, this has the feel of The Stones' Torn and Frayed -- or something else off Exile.

Alex Newman. Dylan's 'Lay Lady Lay'.

Vincent Tagliaferro Yes yes. Absolutely. That one riff. I know the one you mean

this song is way too cool........thanks for the post

Most beautiful song I heard in a long time!

nothing ever really changes in this town, still the same old people just, hangin around ,

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at

You used to be... so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal..

So how does it feel? How does it feel
To be on your own 
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone 

great song

I disagree rp w.  It may be one of his best.

Thank you Ray Lamontagne

I can see the Mr. Herbert (from Family Guy) influence on this song...

Pourquoi faire des cds avec un son si merdique !
On écoute pas tous de la musique avec un autoradio !

cool vibes. 

A little country rock. Harks back to the '70s.  His best yet.

I think all growth includes change. Well done.

This song has a "school house rock " vibe which I love!

Loving the album and this song is an early contender for song of the summer! Absolutely love it  :)

I absolutely love Ray's new work!  As always, so creative and like he took the words right out of my heart. 

Still Valley Nostalgia"

YESS. You go Ray. New music is spot on. I'm not too fond of Supernova. Airwaves was okay.

Not his best, but damn these tunes go well with sun and a cold beer.

psu [ayolola nbc bbc npr

hmmmm... so, so

The new album is thoroughly enjoyable. What else would you expect from Ray?

Great song - give it a try :-)

I love Ray!!!! .....just can't embrace the new album yet...spoiled by all of his other goodness

This one and Supernova are awesome! The other two are kinda bleh. But anyone who thinks this is a new sound for Ray hasn't listened to much of his stuff. All of his albums have a satisfactory amount of variation amongst the tracks. This album is still holding true to his classic oldies feel and I love it; a great addition to his discography!

I sooo agree!  I'm loving these new tunes.

i agree and disagree ,, yes he is holding true as far as not completely changing and doing a whole album out of the (Ray Zone) , but he is going places has hasn't before  on a few of these songs, like it all tho,  I Just hope he never forgets the sound that made us all fall in love with his music, 

Ray you're my favourite singer of all time with Jeff Buckley .. Your lyrics melt me and your voice live is like a piercing bullet through the heart ... But I've listened to 4 songs from this new Album .. I'm trying and trying to like it but I can't .. Nothing has hit me yet .. This isn't a dig .. But seems overproduced for your record label to over sell you... When all you need is a beat up acoustic guitar and a microphone.
I'll always love ya tho brother ;-) ha

Word. big...Big...BIG MISS. Ugh, we waited 4 years for this... :-/

Agreed. Just not feeling it like with his other albums :(

Love it!!!

Really great song my friend! I can't wait to hear the entire album.

A little bit of Neil Young influence here...maybe?

reminds me of custom kings,  red sails , in places, onya Ray,

Sounds kinda "exile on main st"-y. Mick Taylor era. Love this track!

More like Paul Young's version of "Love of the common people" minus the chorus  watch?v=SVmjKHkgxis

nope, I have listened to all suggestions, I am still totally goin with  Custom KIngs, red sails

Some guy from a record label once compared my lyrics to one Neil Young....google THE CHILD by URBAN SEASCAPE.

It's rising..quickly.....one critique'r recently wrote the following critique about THE CHILD...it cost £50 to record, is in profit, has no actual band and has no major label behind it...YET.

"Nice arrangement. Cool guitar intro and groove. Voice is not flashy but very sincere. It got nice and interesting at 1.29 when the female vocal floated with more muscle under the lead singer with nice haunting support. Good thud-like drum and this lead singer had a good understanding of what words to emphasise. Played with pronunciation cleverly..struck an effective balance with soft and louder passages. Drama built perfectly.."a child who once, was me"...COMPELLING.
THIS IS A WINNER. Wish you luck with this. Far, FAR better than the fluff that is offered by radio and commercial music hawkers.
CHALK THIS ONE UP TO THE WIN COLUMN SONIC FOXX UK".

John LeStrada..Independent music critic(In disguise).


SONIC FOXX,
SONIC FOXX MUSIC,
ENGLAND.

God gifted talent...even though this album is more variety its got charm since it sounds so 70s

love love this one... and lavender especially can't wait for the tour and this release! 

Airwaves > Lavender >> Drive-In Movies >> Supernova
Overall, I have only a lukewarm impression if this new stuff, though Airwaves is awesome.

Verry happy to hear your new song ! I relly enjoy your new style and can't w8 for the whole album.

Best one yet, Ray
