Thank you Joe Wilkins!!!

Amazing lyrics,unique voice...
All hail Youtube recommendations <3

Ray there filming you, at least 1 laugh or smile how serious and boring,the public surport you,they smile at you. Come on dope ,
were all monkeys in shoes !!! X

I love this song so much. I met this song at a phase of my life where it's so real. Love this. Ray's music touches your soul. I can't ever imagine not listening to him.

"Pillow case that remembers you"

Perfect. Thank you

Changed my life

wonderful artist.

Lost in the right direction.

Plastered in your newspaper palace
Dishes and the backdoor slams
The dogs on the floor
They don't roam anymore
And the rivers gone deaf at the dam

The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps
Chokes you when you lift your rake
A wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth
But your love ain't the kind you can keep

Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillow case that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again

Seen how you look at the stranger
I see how you waite when he's gone
If I told you I thought that there was a sin in your heart
Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong

Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again

He tells you that he needs you, he's a liar
He tells you he's a hero, he's a fool
He tells you he'll stay till the lords breaking day
Then babe he ain't nothing but cruel

Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again.

John Mayer sound, or is it just me?

What album is this on?

That Chorus 💘

♥️♥️♥️

Beautiful voice

My all time favorite Ray song. Song stays on repeat.. The man breaks my heart

Waltz me Ray country style

I'd pay this man to just sing to me all day, him and David grey....cos he is our uk equivalent in my eyes.

This person is my life 😭😭

Cutsforguts

He tells you that he needs you, hes a liar
He tells you hes a hero, hes a fool
He tells you hell stay till the lords breaking day
Then babe he aint nothing but cruel

What's the meaning of this staza , what's your interpretation?

pillow case still remembers you

love it

"the scent of you still lingers on fingertips"

Absolutely magnificent

Thanks HIMYM

I used to listen to others loads and loads, repeat and repeat BUT Ray is special, sexy raspy voice which is so unusual! Luv you Ray.

Powerful JRE #747 brought me here. This guy's great!

Clearly I've been living in a bubble. Have just discovered this amazing, one of a kind, mesmerizing voice, that I can't get enough of. Download him all day, will be buying his cd's for my vehicle. The withdrawal symptoms are too much to take when I'm not at home.

Sign of o GREAT singer and/or artist......"WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS"....powerful comment zoe.

Roses and Cigarettes

I love Ray, he gets right into my soul ♫. I can listen to him all day.

This man's a heartbreaker.

woahh its so deep from soul

who is another great singer in this genre like him ? i love this kind of music :)

This post has given me so much new music to listen to! Already knew some. Nice one! Beautiful music

Ryan Adams is another of the great songwriters of our generation. For those who hasn't known him yet, go check his music, he's made tons of exquisite songs. Sir Elton himself covered his song "Oh my sweet Carolina". Cheers

More suggestions: Leon Bridges, Noah Gundersen, Dawes

@teflaime Dawes is a terrific band! Love their albums and Taylor is a great lyricist

Brittanie Pitcher sawyer fredericks

Never listened to this type. I listen now. It seems my heart floats with the with the words and drops tears.

I can't get enough of him these days. Everything he does is gold.

Rae Brannon
My 1st husband looked just like Ray, only with blonde hair & blue eyes. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 36 (lymphoma). He was my 1st best friend & Best person to ever happen to me.

This song breaks my heart over and over again.

Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillow case that remembers you
the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again

Love the lyrics, love the voice <3

Love the lyrics, love the voice <3

7 people are Suicidal

If you all like this, check out Mimi Gilbert.

Love this man.

love this song <3

a beautiful enigma,god created this beautiful man and made him work in a shoe shop,shame on you god,shame on you

100 times repeatedly....luv his so much,..ty for posting blacktiggers2

Thanks for posting,it didn't come out on the UK version,so this is brilliant. ;)

Talent. Nothing more and nothing less.

I saw Ray at an ampitheater in KC Missouri. Stars shining bright, fifth row with both of my sisters and one of the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard. He stays in the shadows when he's singing live. Beautiful lighting that matches the songs, but Ray is so humble and real. Like he's singing his heart and exposing so much, that he himself hangs back in the dark. I cried. Just awesome.

i LOVE this guy! now this is a musician!

one of the best of his songs

finally some music!

The voice! So glad music like this hasn't been put to it's final death by modern, western 'civilization".
Put into hiding, but still fighting.

Beautiful.. Simply beautiful<3

This is pure form of beautiful pain...

amazing music

please check out my songs all original music songs no covers

how do you dislike this?

If there was ever a gift to Earth from the Cosmos, it would sound like Ray LaMontagne.

Can't remember how I cam across Ray, but it sure was a happy day :). And yes, I too have the impression that I've been listening to crap all day when I put Ray on, lol.

I'd love to visit his farmhouse in the Berkshires. It's beautiful there and I bet that's where he gets his inspirations!! I sbsolutely want him to jam with us in my living room!!!

He's amazing!!

What who 2 dislikes?? lol

@Suezette6831 : )

@korkeycat Awesome! Happy to hear it! ;-)

@Suezette6831 Hey you totally misunderstood my comment, no way am i ashamed that i love Ray Lamontagne my comment was meant to read im ashamed that i had never previously heard this fantastic song ! Im a true loud n proud Ray fan thru n thru. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUY, i been lucky enough to see him live 4 times.

@korkeycat I know I'm a year late but why would you be ashamed to say that you like Ray? Always like who you like no matter what anyone else thinks! Music is one of the sweetest & most pure ways of expressing ourselves! If people make fun then pity them because they don't know the sweet beautiful feeling listening to a song like this when you're all alone can bring! ;-p

@TheJuliusJT thanks for the reply but im still pissed off cos i aint got it on my copy, very unfair me thinks .............

@korkeycat It was first added on the late released version off Gossip in The Grain

I have to add that i have gossip in the grain, but this is not on it ??????

I am ashamed to say but im a massive Ray fan, and i never heard this fantastic song before, so thank you for introducing it to me, now i just gotta go buy it .........

Just Fantastic!
