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!😊❤❤❤
Wish I can go back to the time you wanted to be with me and I was just scared to get hurt heat broken. Now it's too late your on the other side in heaven RIP Jordan
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.
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.
"Such A Simple Thing" Tell me what you're feeling I can take the pain Tell me that you mean it That you won't leave again Tell me what your heart wants Such a simple thing My heart is like paper Yours is like a flame I can't make you see If you don't by now I'll get through these chains Somehow, somehow Take it if you want it Im so tired I just don't care Can't you see how much you hurt me? It's like I wasn't there Tell me what your heart wants Such a simple thing My heart is like paper Yours is like a flame My heart is like paper Yours is like a flame I can't make you see If you don't by now I'll get through these chains Somehow, somehow Tell me what your heart wants Such a simple thing My heart is like paper Yours is like a flame My heart is like paper Yours is like a flame 🔥
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.
@RayLamontagneMusic 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.
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 .
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
This song is written TO a narcissist from the point of view of an empath. No doubt about it. It describes what narcissists do perfectly, “Tell me that you mean it, that you won’t leave again...Take it if you want it, I’m so tired I just don’t care, can’t you see how much you hurt me, it’s like I wasn’t there”. But still, our paper hearts burn. This song is perfection.
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.
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.
#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 😀👍👍👍🎸🎻🎹🥁🎸💖💜💙💚🧡💛❤️
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
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.
Tell me what you're feeling I can take the pain Tell me that you mean it That you won't leave again Tell me what your heart wants Such a simple thing My heart, it's like paper Yours is like a flame My heart, it's like paper Yours is like a flame I can't make you see If you don't by now I'll get through these changes Somehow Somehow Take it if you want it I'm so tired, I just don't care Can't you see how much you hurt me It's like I wasn't there Tell me what your heart wants Such a simple thing My heart, it's like paper Yours is like a flame I can't make you see If you don't by now I'll get through these changes Somehow Somehow Tell me what your heart wants Such a simple thing My heart, it's like paper Yours is like a flame My heart, it's like paper Yours is like a flame
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
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”!!!
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
I've played this song over & over, it beautiful & I've played it over & over to man I love & he just don't respond. I'll keep on listening to it & hope my msg has been sent to him Am I wrong to believe this beautiful song will be never acknowledged by him? I love your music & voice & I thank you so much.
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
Saw Ray in Madison last year. People kept yelling and complaining he wasn't playing "Jolene." In the meantime he was playing this ......people need to listen more and talk less. Why do we expect our artists to never grow or change? Everything else does. Life is transitory.
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!
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.
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. ❣️
I just recently discovered Ray! I want to go see him in Nashville this May! Thank you, Ray, your voice and songs are easy on the eyes and ears, so smooth!
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.
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.
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.
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.. ❤❤❤
Wow!! Everything is this song works beautifully,. I love the analogy "my heart is like paper, your's is like a flame" But that is just one of the lines out of many that are so relatable; truly my new favorite song from Ray.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH IT MAKES THE CHILL DOWN MY ARMS MY HUSBAND BEEN MARRIED FOR 33 YEARS AND WE WANT THIS SONG TO PLAY ON OUR ANNIVERSARY THIS OCTOBER IT WILL BE 34 YEARS. WITH ALL THE CRAZY THAT IS GOING ON THIS WOULD BE A MIRACLE AND BLESSINGS
I adore this song more than I can really ever put into words..this music , his voice & his emotion so raw and so beautiful I listen with my ear phones, close my eyes and get lost somewhere so freaking wonderful.
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.
@@spiritmoon2583 same here
I as well

Found me too
My heart it’s like paper, yours it’s like a flame 🔥
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!!
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
Such a beautiful, haunting song.

My sweet hubby passed away, then I hooked up with a man,baby, monkey that treated me terribly, this song is fitting.
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
Quarentine here in Portugal, Just in my room listen to this song...hope everybody is ok.
I hope you are alright too...😊
me too
Also in Quarantine, South Africa.....we will get through this dear one....
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...
I heard your message and I hope your sister is in a better place. I never had a sister. Keep your light shining.
Thanks for this song ,and your music mr ray , your music touch hearts
Wow. And another great artist.....better late than never....
Love is not such a simple thing.. very difficult for most in fact... love love this song in my head most days.
Such a realistic narrative for so many...we live long enough we suffer loss at great cost

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.
I know this song is pretty good that's all I can say right now
@Ray Lamontagne try again.. on someone else.. You’re no Ray LaMontagne
So true
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.

Take it if you want it
Im so tired I just don't care
Can't you see how much you hurt me?
It's like I wasn't there
Tell me what your heart wants

Love this song his voice is so Beautiful
❤
This song is so damn good it hurts to listen to it. Ray knocked it outta the park with this one.
I agree Christopher
Christopher Sheffield completely agree...
" so damn good it hurts to listen to it" That is almost as lyrical as this song is. Perfect description
Always does...
Vocally he's on fire...just brilliant.
The most searing and beautiful song of unrequited love I've ever heard in my 64 years.
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.
I'm on a binge now first heard it a few hours ago lol
Ditto! I heard it recently too and am OBSESSED lol
I get you
@RayLamontagneMusic 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.
My radio station played it just once, and i stopped the car, pulled over to the side
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 .
He got his own way on this record thank God, no jazzed up shit to please the record company.
A masterpiece by a writer I really admire. So refreshing still poignant and brave... a true thing of beauty
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
so tenderly sorry
Love and Light 🦋✌️🧘♀️♥️
My condolences. This song was for you as well. Beautiful songs like this are powerful and meant for our own meaning. God bless.
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.....
When he sings high ....on tell me what your heart wants... damn that's nice on the ears ....
And the heart, too.
Straight to the core
Yes, yes it is
He sung that part at the same time I read this comment. That made my heart skip a beat!
yes,my favorite part of the song ,sent it to my boyfriend,he didn't get it,getting better one right away
I sleep with earbuds and listen to Spotify while I sleep, this song woke me from a dead sleep. Now I'm addicted
This song is written TO a narcissist from the point of view of an empath. No doubt about it. It describes what narcissists do perfectly, “Tell me that you mean it, that you won’t leave again...Take it if you want it, I’m so tired I just don’t care, can’t you see how much you hurt me, it’s like I wasn’t there”. But still, our paper hearts burn. This song is perfection.
Ray's voice is healing and enchanting. I can listen to this dude every day.
Raw, pure, haunting. Just gorgeous.
Excellent description.
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.
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.
sweet jeepers...what a voice
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.
Prayers
I'm so very sorry. My heart and love is with you ❤️ 🙏

My worst fear lately. My heart goes out to you Dan. ❤❤
Every single time I hear this song I am left in tears. Every. Single. Time. It touches every part of my soul.

Distant shadows of the past,
Those memories ever last,
The grace within you I see,
This love inside me,
Longing to be.
I dont usually comment on videos but damn. This song sliced me up. I miss you Vae.
After trying to convince someone to choose me for nine years, this song really hits home. Love Rays music so much. Helps me through alot in life.
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Love Ray he is so talented.
The guy has just got that way of getting right through to your innermost feelings. Genius just genius.
Listening to ray is like going through a great therapy session 🥲🥰🥰🥰😘 ❤️

Turn off the lights, lay on the floor and absorb. RL has total beautiful music.
I found this song from the let it be after finding I have stage four mestatic melanoma cancer. His songs give me so much to think about in life again.
Prayers for you on your journey. I hope you are healing well.
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.
Ray is a poet, gentle and real. An artist.

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!
Songs sticks with my broken heart.
Took my breath away, so hauntingly beautiful.
Such a beautiful pure voice!
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.. ❤❤❤
bipolar all my life only way out is death.
many prayers for all
❤️
I have no Word's but Thank you Ray , you read my heart
Wow!! Everything is this song works beautifully,. I love the analogy "my heart is like paper, your's is like a flame" But that is just one of the lines out of many that are so relatable; truly my new favorite song from Ray.
Powerful song. When your heart hurts and you hear a song that's so close. I could of wrote it myself!!
Wow. Sometimes you hear a song once and it instantly speaks to you. This. This is one of those songs. Beautiful song. Beautiful voice.
