Ray LaMontagne - A Falling Through Lyrics






Laid our blessings on the ground,
The softening of sound
Draws us closed again

Stay, stay and watch the coals
Till they cease to glow
Like empty promises

Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

Baby?

There's nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
To bring you back again

This of life I know is true
It's all a falling through
And so I reach for you

Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

Don't you care
That it may seem unfair?
(You steal things you ought to borrow)
Don't you find
That it may seem unkind?
(I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow)

Why, why did you go
Why did you go away baby

Ray LaMontagne A Falling Through Comments
  1. L.... R....

    This was played at my brothers funeral, only 34 years old :( takes me back to that very day I got the phone call. I miss him so much. 6 years in the blink of an eye.

  2. A.... M....

    What a beautiful melancholy song

  3. S.... B....

    So sad :( such beautiful song
    Namjoon You recommended this song and I came here

  4. R.... L....

    My boyfriend of five years broke up with me and I posted this song on social media. I thought everything was so weird, we were in love. And I kept thinking about the "whys" in the song, how they are mostly retorycal and stubborn whys. He killed himself. And I saw at his YouTube history that he had listened to this song.
    I am forever left with this retorycal why. So many unanswered questions...

  5. J.... H....

    This just kills me. I'll never understand why things happen the way they do. I miss my sweet heart so bad. 6 years together. She was supposed to be my wife. Then i hurt my ankle so bad. Had to get surgery. Got opiates, abused them for short time. Got taken off my pain meds. Still hurt badly. Got introduced to heroin in my old area. Tried it, it slowly yet quickly took my love in life.

    J.... H....

    Took my everything. She was my best friend. She was my lover. She was my everything. She was supposed to always be my everything. I wanted to quit so badly. I wanted it to leave me forever. Sadly i kept choosing heroin. I couldn't quit. She tried to help me. She tried to stay with me. She eventually couldn't share me with heroin anymore. She left me over a year ago. I just found out the other day shes seeing someone else. I have never hurt so badly Every day since she left me. Each day my heart breaks again when i remember our special love. She was my baby. We listened to ray loyally. Shelter was our song. When it comes on now i still long to hold my sweet Annie.

    J.... H....

    If i could go back and change that moment that begun the tearing a part of my love in life. She was my soul mate. Ill never really be able to fully get over what has happened to my girls love. She still today is in my heart. Ill love her always with my entire heart and soul. Until the end of time. And even further on. I could never stop loving my sweet Annie Rose. She was my whole entire world. She was the love of my life. It kills me inside remembering her special love for me.

  6. M.... K....

    Тоска.

  12. R.... N....

    Laid our blessings on the ground,
    The softening of sound
    Draws us closed again

    Stay, stay and watch the coals
    Till they cease to glow
    Like empty promises

    Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
    Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

    Baby?

    There's nothing I can say
    Nothing I can do
    To bring you back again

    This of life I know is true
    It's all a falling through
    And so I reach for you

    Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
    Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

    Don't you care
    That it may seem unfair?
    (You steal things you ought to borrow)
    Don't you find
    That it may seem unkind?
    (I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow)

    Why, why did you go
    Why did you go away baby

  26. 8.... ....

    Who is the female backup vocal??? What's this song about?

  27. J.... B....

    Serina L Hoffman @serinalh #serinalh

  28. A.... ....

    My girlfriend of a year left me over a week ago. Her parents just wouldn't accept our relationship, and despite all the effort I made, it feels like I finally lost her. She had a key to my apartment and each day I come home, I hope to see her there -- but she never is.

    I was in a coffee shop yesterday trying to kill time when this song came on and it it really moved me.

    I just can't get the vision out of my mind, her saying weeks ago, "Don't leave me. Don't let me push you away if things get hard." We both loved Ray Lamontagne but I'd never heard this song before. It's so simple but so heavy. I miss her every second. I'm struggling every day but the pain lessens marginally little by little.

    A.... ....

    I'm sorry you are hurting. In the same place and understand. Praying for you.

    A.... ....

    Hope things are better since 3 years ago...
    😊

    A.... ....

    Stop crying like a lil bitch.

    A.... ....

    Life is too short to think about anyone else, let it be a memory! And seriously Stop crying like a lil bitch you bitch.

    A.... ....

    Hope my comment brings a smile on your face, if not then Stop crying like a lil bitch you bitch 🤣

  29. S.... P....

    this song reminds me of my late boyfriend 😔

  30. a.... h....

    played this at my sons funeral😞

    a.... h....

    Awful. I'm so sorry.

    a.... h....

    There is only one word which folk can think about when life does this to us...WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT...be on your own if you play it...you'll totally get it Amanda.

    I lost my brother a little while back...but my mother lost a child and needed to let go the tears...she had heard about Jasmine's song...and demanded i play it for her..the tears rolled within two minutes...and i saw relief pour from my mother's face....almost a good sad.
    A critic recently panned the song...then was panned himself for not "getting" WHY?"...from a lady who bought all three of Jasmine Lamport's songs.

    a.... h....

    amanda harville listened to this song over and over after my son died

    a.... h....

    no one ever can call them selves strong until they have experienced something so heart breaking like this.

    Everyone has their own musical heaven and for me the music of Peter Bradley Adams, Matt Corby, Ben Howard, Ray LaMontagne and others like them does it.....Both beautiful and breathtaking it resonates at first in my ears but ends up stirring my heart.....may music like this never fade away or be undervalued <3
