This touches my heart and soul . I'm an recovered addict . been sober for almost 12 years . But now I've been watching my sister battle alcoholism and mental illness for many years . Ive done everything I can think of . Fought , loved , begged . Its been heart wrenching . watching her lose herself . Because this is not who she is . She checked her self into a treatment facility yesterday and I'm so relieved ... but my heart still hurts because I know she has a long road ahead of her . Please send prayers
prayers for your sister 🙏🏻 and for you . I'm sitting in the ICU and my sister's been on a ventilator after multiple embolic strokes . They took her off the ventilator and now we wait 🙏🏻.
Sending the most love and light for your sister, I know deep in my bones the love you sent her has helped her in her journey to recovery. ♥️ blessings, healing, happiness that belong divinely to her, in grace and in magical ways. Namaste
Good job! Your not alone....straight n sober AGAIN 8 YEARS.....Do NOT miss it. Quit cigarettes 22 days.... praying 🙏 for you and your sister ... God 🌸 bless...
Ray Lamontagne, such an underrated artist that so many haven't even discovered yet. He's outstanding, the lyrics hit deep, his voice sounds like a warm blanket, just so comforting!!

This is such a touching, heartwrenching song. Simply stunning. "Can't you see how much you hurt me? It's like I wasn't there" Thank you, Ray, for this song...
My heart wants prince charming! Who loves and adores only me. No other women in the mix. Til eternity. I I adore him til eternity, too. And we have our kingdom and our beautiful castle, too!😊❤❤❤

Through these dreams,pretty sure,that's what I'm gonna sing when I'm covering this,also does anyone have the tabs for guitar,I've been playing it,d,f,c,g,sounds pretty good finger picking and singing,but curious how Ray plays it,also the lyrics,wether it's,dreams,changes,or chains,would be great to clarify,either way,he is an amazing musician,nice easy listening music for the soul
Tell me what your feeling has had such an effect on me since I first heard it on JIMMY KIMMEL I feel like the song was written for me after 30 years of marriage it really hits home awesome song
I close my eyes when I listen to Ray..... his voice is just so mesmerizing. It calms me and haunts me as well. Just pure perfection. After 14 years of listening I’ll never get enough.
God bless you. Your an awesome soul for wishing such a wonderful blessing on this world when ppl have been so corroupt an nasty. I see that you see the big pic an know that we as a species are all one an a beautiful creation from the source above. Keep up your awesomeness an keep spreading joy on this world
I am absolutely OBSESSED with this song!!! I heard it for the first time yesterday & I've listened to it about 50 times so far. Ray LaMontagne, You Are AMAZING!!! Your music goes straight to my soul.
@@raylamontagnemusic8200 I love all of Ray Lamontagne music, but this is a special song to me. God blessed you with a beautiful gift Ray take care of it for those of us who love you.
Tonight was the last night I heard my husband's voice the next morning I was told he was gone this song is such a beautiful song God bless whoever wrote in song the song
#RAYLAMONTAGNE #PARTOFTHELIGHT It's 2:37 am and I am listening to your lovely music. Your music is so calming. It places me in a relaxed state of mind. I feel a sense of serenity. There is no stress, just bliss. Your gift as a songwriter is just the most wonderful thing. Thank you for sharing your gift with us 😀👍👍👍🎸🎻🎹🥁🎸💖💜💙💚🧡💛❤️
His voice resonates with my pain ;I need to keep listening to process my grief.Lost both mom and dad this year .Having a hard time:need to put down on paper.
I have loved this mans songs for maybe 10 years now, I could rattle off a dozen or more fast, but this one and such a simple thing, I listen to everyday .
Somewhere in America their is a tortured soul, a Vet who has seen and done things that no human should have to do, as am I. I turn my torture to music to cure a lonely and broken soul. After all somedays we all need to cry, this is called a soul touch ! thank You Ray for this song, and thank you VEVO for the share.
First Thank You, Second, While we can have mad respect for our Armed Force Vets, to say it is not enough. I pray for You, and Pray your soul, Heart, and mind can find equal Peace.
As I listen to this song 🎶 I think of my Wife my best friend ❤️❤️🩹 who is dying soon ,,, it hurts to listen to the words--( tell me what your Heart wants!!!!!!!!! (IT IS NOT SUCH A SIMPLE THING IT HURTS SO BAD)) … 8/17/22 I’ll get through these changes some how 🥲 my heart is like paper 📄.. yours is like a flame 🔥💕
I came pass your comment and it was so meaningful because my sister said the same things too will pass because our dad passed not to long ago. It made me smile and thank you
This is a beautiful song! 😥😢 It's like dealing with a person with Bipolar..you try and try and it's just hurts so much to take the pain that gets dished out. My heart is like paper... yours is like a flame.. These lyrics hit me hard. Just keep praying for families with children and adults with mental illness.. ❤❤❤

But still, our paper hearts burn. This song is perfection.
Best song of 2018!!!! I was listening to this song turned up loud and singing along when someone asked me if my wife and I were having trouble? (We aren’t and very much in love) All I could say was “listen to the feeling in his voice, and the mournful sound of the steel slide this is perfection right here”!!!
this song is what my heart is speaking. During this lockdown it's making me nostalgic and thinking even more. I hope you are doing good wherever you are at, my heart does not hold any anger or hate towards you. I will always love you and you will always have a place in my heart. Loving someone unconditionally is also letting them go no matter how painful it is towards you.
Wow.. very well put indeedie. I hope that she is doing as well as I am now, and she gets through her chains like I have managed, though I can offer little to no assistance. All I can do is wait and love, wo condition. Ray L, once again, coaxes my emotions w his vocals and his guitar sliding to and fro. BRAVO!
I have loved Ray since the very first time I heard him about 8 years ago. He has a gift where he can sing and some dark, sad part of me I hid away starts to surface but I want it to... It's almost like I like the hurt it brings. Because really I wouldn't ever want to forget. ❣️
I have never listened to him before. I love his voice and his songs!! Please do not tell me that he no longer performs!! I have to see him in person someday!! His voice is so calming in this time of need!! ❤
@@kimberleestovall9519 he still Performs. Thankfully. I have yet to have the honor to be in the presence of such an amazing voice but it's on my list of things to do before I leave this earth. ❣️
A SONG THAT GOES STRAIGHT TOO THE HEART AND BLOWS THE MIND I PLAY SUCH A SIMPLE THING MOST FRIDAYS ON MY RADIO SHOW.THE SONG IS SO POIGNANT IN THESE TIMES WITH COVID SO STAY SAFE .FROM ALL OVER HERE IN SCOTLAND
Wow I just discovered this song and I can really relate to it, it's crazy how you find the songs you need right before your going to try to connect with the girl you love.
My mother passed in august and this was one of her favorite songs, we delt with so much abuse and listening to this song I can understand why she loved it so much... im so lost.. I felt like I lost a huge part of me when she passed away we delt with so much abuse together and she died 40 years too young... I just wish she had the chance to find happiness but the world is so cruel.
Jackie, I just dreamt of you and I walking hand in hand . I was looking into your eyes and thinking to myself how beautiful you are . You out shine everyone in a room with your smile. Being without out you is like living in dark room with the blinds forever closed not allowing one Ray of light through from the sun. I miss you do much
My husband turned me on to Ray's music - so heartfelt. I am in love with my husband, but Ray seems to bring out a deeper depth of love especially when we are listening to Ray together.
HERE'S A CALL TO ARMS FOR ANY AND EVERY RAY LAMONTAGNE FAN OUT THERE TO PLAY THIS SONG MORE AND MORE ON TH-cam AND SPOTIFY TO PUT JUST ONE OF RAY'S SONGS WHERE IT SHOULD BE....AT No.1 in as many charts as possible..... This man deserves our loyalty..he has mine..any others feel the same way?(please leave a comment underneath this one and dedicate some words of how you feel about this amazing artist)...the song above is right up there with Ray's best material...TOTAL RESPECT TO THIS GREAT MAN. THANK YOU to anybody for reading this...LET'S DO IT TOGETHER.
SONIC FOXX MUSIC , Ray is a GENIUS with lyrics and his voice...I want to hear him sing as I close my eyes for the very last time! No better way to move on. It's like velvet. ❤
Can I paint the perfect scene with this song.. a couple just broke up. Together for a few yrs. They lived somewhere up in the Appalachian mountains, it's lightly snowing, and she's leaving him to go back to her family, he stares out over the deck as he sees her drive off.
Took me back to when I ran away across the country because I didn't know who I was. And I was scared and alone and stopped at a town I didn't know looking for a place to stay and finding a lot of sketchy hotels but then coming across one that just felt right. A warm receptionist gave me my card and sent me to the second floor. I slept so well that night. The receptionist loving caring was a representation everything was going to be ok.
Would have never heard of you, if not for Keith Richards. Listened to an interview between him and his daughter last night. They played this song. I wrote it down. Beautiful!
I feel ya. Yeah the last two really didn't have any of the old emotions. They were still great albums, but nowhere near the caliber as gossip, God willing, or trouble. I'm excited to have the old Ray back. Can't wait to hear the rest of this new album. Also I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only man on the planet that loves Ray's music.
Chris Strunk I'm glad you two spoke out. More need to share how much Ray fans missed the true Ray. Had to go see him live to hear true versions of his songs that the label didn't change. I've heard just a couple songs from this album, and it bring a smile to my face.
Surely true Ray is whatever he is? His description of these albums are that they're more of a true representation of the 'true Ray' than any other album was... anything short of these albums at this point in his career would be a facade.
Speaks directly to my heart and how I'm currently feeling about someone. I'm in love... and I'm not exactly sure how he feels. I know there's chemistry, but it's so much more than that. The person you love becomes first. I want him to be happy no matter where or who he's with... even if it's not with me. It hurts before it's even began, and I'm more than okay with that. I feel lucky.
Pagosa Bear I just joined that boat by confessing to him how much I love him. When theirs unconditional love you want to see them happy even if it’s not with you.
When i feel sad i just love coming back to listen.Always feels good to revisit and re listen.Hope she understand how her small little things burns me out like a fire,yet i can't stop loving her❤ cutiepie🙂
Who’s here in 2024 for another big hug from Ray ?
His voice is so gorgeous. 🥰
I'm listening to him right now love his music big hug to Ray ❤❤
This song is amazing. Just perfection. His voice soars. Moves me every time.

I just discovered this song about 5 days ago! I was left speechless ! Sometimes I think songs find us....
I feel they find us as well. The universe wants us to heal.
This song found me. I was not looking. Amorphous! Loving that it feels like it sought me.

It's like I wasn't there
Tell me what your heart wants
Such a simple thing

Love this song his voice is so Beautiful
❤
Why why haven't I heard this guy's music, don't hide his gift of calming us down. Put him out there!!!
I hear him mostly on Sirius XM Outlaw Country, that's where I heard Empty in 2015
Exactly
His voice is like the afternoon sun against my skin. Gentle but warm.
With little dust motes floating
Yesss!!!
Amen
Or a warm glass of whiskey in front of a fire
Yeah! Like sweet Autumn rain.....
Anyone else come back to this song after a year and feel just as shattered hearing it again?
For sure
tears, every.damn.time
Wow my friend everytime 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Mike Scully yessssss!
Amen buddy
Quarentine here in Portugal, Just in my room listen to this song...hope everybody is ok.

i would love to die listening to this man's songs..empty my fav
Me too but in Spain.. thinking about he... about what happened? What can I do? ... so difficult the love...

So underrated, his voice is as pure as it gets
Pure gold
@@sjfitz2475 that it is.. that it is
Never underrated by me..certainly valued above any singer I have heard who manages to consistently deliver time and time and time again.
I suppose a voice like his has some appeal to certain folks.

I have loved this mans songs for maybe 10 years now, I could rattle off a dozen or more fast, but this one and such a simple thing, I listen to everyday .
This song released something in me, chains holding down my love for someone.
Such a realistic narrative for so many...we live long enough we suffer loss at great cost
Turn off the lights, lay on the floor and absorb. RL has total beautiful music.
I heard your message and I hope your sister is in a better place. I never had a sister. Keep your light shining.
On days like this you appreciate the algorithm ❤
Algorithim of life. My heart needed this tonight
I agree.
There is something ethereal and pure in his voice when he sings "tell me what your heart wants"
The sound of a distant steam locomotive.

Back to basics! Good to hear this Ray is coming back. I enjoy all of his phases but this sound is by far my favourite.
Ale Torriggino Supernova and Ouroboros has some fun, experimental sounds, but I'm with you. This is the Ray we all love the most.
Amen!
10000% in agreement with this comment. I bought tickets today to see him live this June in Boston!!!
Ale Torriggino just admit that you love sad fucking song ....
Ps : by the way. I love sad fucking songs ... haha
Im with you
I love all kinds of songs, but yeah, sad songs usually do the deal for me.
Ray is a poet, gentle and real. An artist.

Songs sticks with my broken heart.
Wow I just discovered this song and I can really relate to it, it's crazy how you find the songs you need right before your going to try to connect with the girl you love.
My mother passed in august and this was one of her favorite songs, we delt with so much abuse and listening to this song I can understand why she loved it so much... im so lost.. I felt like I lost a huge part of me when she passed away we delt with so much abuse together and she died 40 years too young... I just wish she had the chance to find happiness but the world is so cruel.
Jackie, I just dreamt of you and I walking hand in hand . I was looking into your eyes and thinking to myself how beautiful you are . You out shine everyone in a room with your smile. Being without out you is like living in dark room with the blinds forever closed not allowing one Ray of light through from the sun. I miss you do much
He is absolutely, I can't get enough for him.
My husband turned me on to Ray's music - so heartfelt. I am in love with my husband, but Ray seems to bring out a deeper depth of love especially when we are listening to Ray together.
This song is so beautiful and precious. True artist and true talent 💗🌱🌿🍃🌱🌿🍃🌱🌿🍃🍂🍂🍂🍂🍁🌳🍀☘️🌳🌳🌱🌿🍃🍃🌻

THANK YOU to anybody for reading this...LET'S DO IT TOGETHER.
SONIC FOXX MUSIC , Ray is a GENIUS with lyrics and his voice...I want to hear him sing as I close my eyes for the very last time! No better way to move on. It's like velvet. ❤
Absolutely spot on Shelby...couldn't agree more.
Who knows...maybe we get to be greeted by his music on the other side.
Can I paint the perfect scene with this song.. a couple just broke up. Together for a few yrs. They lived somewhere up in the Appalachian mountains, it's lightly snowing, and she's leaving him to go back to her family, he stares out over the deck as he sees her drive off.
"can't you see how much you hurt me.. it's like I wasn't there..."
"my heart it's like paper, and yours is like a flame"
Them's certainly some amazing lyrics...beeeautiful.
It's sad to know only a small percentage of the world has heard this.....maybe oneday they will...🙏
It IS a touching piece of music,it has been my observation that 80% of HIS songs are. And they're ALL GOOD.
OMG. Yes. The Ray that touches my very soul & takes me back to a different time. "My heart is like paper, yours is like a flame ..."
Love it,Got my wife up for a walse and we snuggled.
Farah Word!
So good!!! 😊
Took me back to when I ran away across the country because I didn't know who I was. And I was scared and alone and stopped at a town I didn't know looking for a place to stay and finding a lot of sketchy hotels but then coming across one that just felt right. A warm receptionist gave me my card and sent me to the second floor. I slept so well that night. The receptionist loving caring was a representation everything was going to be ok.
His Voice...This song hurts!
Love, love, love SUCH a simple thing and Empty just to mention a couple. So much passion.
Beautiful. 😊
For me, this song is like a dialogue between two people.
yes
Sound like someone I know
,,,
Know the feeling
Definitely!!
i feel like I could die when he first sings "tell me what your heart waaaaaaaants" 💘
It will definitely bring joy to your heart and tears to your eyes.
Would have never heard of you, if not for Keith Richards. Listened to an interview between him and his daughter last night. They played this song. I wrote it down. Beautiful!
Reminds me of my late husband❣️
I just heard it for the first time today on a TV show. An incredible song! Makes you think about past experiences.
Holy cow, that voice!
love this man and his songs he helps me thru the day for sure
and I cried! now finally an original Ray song that goes to the core
Fabio Roberto Scorza you must not have listened to much Ray if this is the first you've found that cuts you that deeply.
I have had all his albums for ages, but the last couple albums didn't impress me much as the early ones, and this sounds like the original Ray
I feel ya. Yeah the last two really didn't have any of the old emotions. They were still great albums, but nowhere near the caliber as gossip, God willing, or trouble. I'm excited to have the old Ray back. Can't wait to hear the rest of this new album. Also I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only man on the planet that loves Ray's music.
Chris Strunk I'm glad you two spoke out. More need to share how much Ray fans missed the true Ray. Had to go see him live to hear true versions of his songs that the label didn't change. I've heard just a couple songs from this album, and it bring a smile to my face.
Surely true Ray is whatever he is? His description of these albums are that they're more of a true representation of the 'true Ray' than any other album was... anything short of these albums at this point in his career would be a facade.
Speaks directly to my heart and how I'm currently feeling about someone. I'm in love... and I'm not exactly sure how he feels. I know there's chemistry, but it's so much more than that. The person you love becomes first. I want him to be happy no matter where or who he's with... even if it's not with me. It hurts before it's even began, and I'm more than okay with that. I feel lucky.
Pagosa Bear ❤️
Pagosa Bear I just joined that boat by confessing to him how much I love him. When theirs unconditional love you want to see them happy even if it’s not with you.
The hurt is over now.... Fare thee well
Wow. Sometimes you hear a song once and it instantly speaks to you. This. This is one of those songs. Beautiful song. Beautiful voice.
Bad day at work after a bad week. Ray makes it all better. Thanks
When i feel sad i just love coming back to listen.Always feels good to revisit and re listen.Hope she understand how her small little things burns me out like a fire,yet i can't stop loving her❤ cutiepie🙂
