Wait until it makes you miss things you've had and places you've been. ....(edit) Just re-discovered this song (2 years after my initial comment). Roughly 2 years ago I collided head on with a drain tile at 70mph, I was so drunk I still to this day dont remember even getting in the car, I just woke up in the hospital the next day with broken ribs and a collar bone.

My cousin Homer loved this song, oh do I pray you found the happiness in the afterlife that you were looking for ever so endlessly while you were here, I love you bubba ❤️❤️💪🏼
A past girlfriend introduced me to Ray LaMontagne's music... she was an incredible person. Everytime I hear Ray, I think of her... I miss her sooo much. Connection to this song becomes electrified for me.
This song... it is not just a song its yearning... its lonelyness fought back with hope ...its love laid waste by times unfeeling hand..its hope of the sun while trapped in ice over the miles, the years,the moments .All the lingering shatterd hearts of those who've loved lost and remained merely here alive yes ,but never truly . No matter the heights a heart may climb to in effert to heal,Or to distract the soul wich cannot let GO of the one fore wich it breathes.unable to stop wandering driven to escape a pain theirs no medicine to permanetly relieve or eleveate . Temperary distraction , always a brief release coming and gone with the morning and such cost is paid gladly even sometimes in tears. So it goes stone human's.
You should definitely start writing if you're not one already. Only the ones who truly suffered the loss of deep emotional love can grasp exactly what you're saying. Well said 👏
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this. The corner of Kolb and Speedway in Tucson, AZ. It came on the radio and after hearing the first lyric I pulled over to give it my full attention. It just stunned me. I’ve never experienced that in another song, ever. He is an incredible talent. An incomparable voice and lyrics that resonate.
Ray does that to you. I remember the first time I heard him sing. let it be me. I was on a back road in West Virginia with an Ex I'd love to never see again. But Ray got me through it.
For me heard this summer 2016 just kicking it and living life as 26yo single guy working and drinking… and European women.. until I met this wild girl “the one”…that really changed me forever… and on my part foolishly & naively reconnected years later for her only to use me as a stepping stone to something better.. Left hurt and confused… I accepted it..Knowing I’ll never see her again and That she’s a mum now married, whatever, … I can come to terms with because I love her and this song for the way she affected my life and how much joy she and this song brought to me at a specific time in my life.
this song makes me weep! I used to hold my woman to this album on repeat. Intimacy shared through music needs no words as it is felt in the bloodstream.
Loved this song for years… always felt emotionally connected to it in some strange untold way. Years later, I find myself in the most unexpected, heartbreaking love story.. and find this song once again. And now I understand why.
Same with me. I was in Spokane, Washington when I was wrestling some dark matter and this songs just haunts me like a dark messenger....... tears every single time I hear it. The song "Vancouver" by Reckless Kelly.....same thing. Music is such a powerful thing!
This is fine poetry and a melody that matches every word. This takes you with it and into it, and you believe in the story told, and more. You feel it.
I first heard this song in high school in 2007 and i absolutely loved it I had heard it in YEARS! But after hearing it on Fire Country I knew every word!
Lyrics: Cocaine flame in my bloodstream Sold my coat when I hit Spokane Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain Lately my hands they don't feel like mine My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind Held you in my arms one time Lost you just the same Jolene I ain't about to go straight It's too late I found myself face down in the ditch Booze in my hair Blood on my lips A picture of you, holding a picture of me In the pocket of my blue jeans Still don't know what love means Still don't know what love means Jolene Ah, La, La, La, La, La Jolene Been so long since I seen your face Or felt a part of this human race I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long A man needs something he can hold onto A nine pound hammer or a woman like you Either one of them things will do Jolene I ain't about to go straight It's too late I found myself face down in the ditch Booze in my hair Blood on my lips A picture of you, holding a picture of me In the pocket of my blue jeans Still don't know what love means Still don't know what love means Jolene La, La, La, La, La, La, La Jolene La, La, La, La, La, La, La Jolene
This is the top heart breaker of this album, great writing Ray! So glad I got this on wax... songs are classic singer songwriter works. Thanks buddy :)
This song what can i say that hasnt been said here already. I guess alot of young men felt like this trying to find their way and couldnt find the words to say it. It rings true for many
I play songs around a campfire…Hank… Willy,, Kristofferson, Beck, the violent phemms!…but nothing moves them like when I dig out a Ray Song….everyone stops talking and starts listening….game loves game.
Hey Ray, my dad was a carpenter for 40 years,I used to watch him work hard, he’s dead and gone now,we didn’t have much time n commitment n but I played shelter and he broke down and cried
The intervention in to everybody lives , I’m not sure 🤔 if we are as free as we should be. Anybody that trying to do the right thing , the right thing is are you happy 😊, fact not fiction.
Makes me think of my sisters ex. He’s addicted to drugs and his two daughters hardly see him anymore. My sisters 8 year old has disowned him after he broke another promise and didn’t come to her 8th birthday party. Not to mention how dumb he is now because of drugs. It’s quite sad how drugs ruin people, he’s currently clean and living with his sister but I don’t know how long it will last this time… he always relapses. 😔
So funny and crazy. I absolutely adore him. Lived 30 minutes away. Turner maine? Who would've thought? 20 years later, my boyfriend insulates his house. Didnt know who he was. I freaked out. Love him so.❤
From a movie stand point, another song chosen ate the end that lets you know who you want to be, if given a chance. Great movie one of my favorite, how sometimes we get sucked in to things based on survival, outstanding movie nailed it.

I know she'll be gone before me. I hold onto every moment before that happens. I weep at work sometimes, behind stacks of copiers in the far side of a warehouse. I know what picking a future with her means. It means I'll probably have to bury her, it's probably too late to have a child with her, but I love her. As long as I can keep with her until one of us has to leave, I don't really want anything else.
This song makes me miss things I've never had, and places I've never been.
God damnit this song makes me cry.
Wait until it makes you miss things you've had and places you've been.
....(edit)
Just re-discovered this song
(2 years after my initial comment).
Roughly 2 years ago I collided head on with a drain tile at 70mph, I was so drunk I still to this day dont remember even getting in the car, I just woke up in the hospital the next day with broken ribs and a collar bone.
It was really the ending of a certain chapter in my life. Just got my license back today (end of probation), been sober for a while now. Its a better experience tbh
It feels so empty
What an epic comment. 👍
Me too hun
My cousin Homer loved this song, oh do I pray you found the happiness in the afterlife that you were looking for ever so endlessly while you were here, I love you bubba ❤️❤️💪🏼
If I was a rain drop, I would be this song
How does this make sense but also not make sense at this same time
Not gonna lie... The Town brought me here. Badass song and a badass movie.
Same here
sameee
Heist with a twist of romance, great movie!
“A picture of you, holding a picture of me.” Hits deep
One of the best lyrics ever wrote...ever
in the pocket of my blue jeans.
A past girlfriend introduced me to Ray LaMontagne's music... she was an incredible person. Everytime I hear Ray, I think of her... I miss her sooo much. Connection to this song becomes electrified for me.
Call her....
This song... it is not just a song its yearning... its lonelyness fought back with hope ...its love laid waste by times unfeeling hand..its hope of the sun while trapped in ice over the miles, the years,the moments .All the lingering shatterd hearts of those who've loved lost and remained merely here alive yes ,but never truly . No matter the heights a heart may climb to in effert to heal,Or to distract the soul wich cannot let GO of the one fore wich it breathes.unable to stop wandering driven to escape a pain theirs no medicine to permanetly relieve or eleveate .

I am a Jolene from Golf Links and Wilmot lol!
@@JoleneMKelly Get a strawberry Eegee and a Los Betos burrito for me!
Yeah, this song has special dark powers.....best to pull over. I can't listen to it without tearing up.
Ray does that to you. I remember the first time I heard him sing. let it be me. I was on a back road in West Virginia with an Ex I'd love to never see again. But Ray got me through it.
Great comment my friend, I had the exact response. Found myself crying , such feeling, I get it.

That's beautiful.
This song is haunting and stays with you.
Loved this song for years… always felt emotionally connected to it in some strange untold way. Years later, I find myself in the most unexpected, heartbreaking love story.. and find this song once again. And now I understand why.
Same with me. I was in Spokane, Washington when I was wrestling some dark matter and this songs just haunts me like a dark messenger....... tears every single time I hear it.
The song "Vancouver" by Reckless Kelly.....same thing. Music is such a powerful thing!
I found it during my first heartbreak...it was my now ex wife that told me it was written for me.
If you need a good cry this is the song. I listen to this song every morning. Just so I can cry and feel like once apon a Time I used to be human.
I get it, as tough as we are in the exterior were all human.
One of many songs i would love to experience hearing for first time again.
I'm french but years ago I fell in love with english poetry's and I must say that this song makes me feel truly in love
This guy's music never gets old
I found you many years ago..I see you've been busy since the 1st song I never heard. Loved you then as much as I still love you still.❤😊
"Held you in my arms one last time, lost you just the same." 😢😢
I really do'nt think that this man's music and voice will ever stop affecting people, thank you Ray.
Makes me think of my sister Jolene she took her life almost 3 years ago. My life will never be the same. 😔💔❣️
😢such a pretty name.
I still don't know what love means.
You’re right..the older I get, the less understood love is.
At the end of Ben Affleck's the Town movie,this song just sums up love as an emotion.One of my favorites
For real that's where I heard it and I just looked it up
I just finished watching that movie and waited for the credits to roll then googled the song love it from Australia
agree
Love is a choice not a convoluted theory
I promise well see each other… in this life or the next🥲
this guy is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo underrated. One day the whole world will hear yoou Ray. Mark my words.
He actually is not.....just not such a fucking sell out. Love this dude....one of me and my wifes fav. She actually intreduced me to folk
This is fine poetry and a melody that matches every word. This takes you with it and into it, and you believe in the story told, and more. You feel it.
Powerful song to this day 🔥
This song just hits those of us who have lived on that side of the line harder
You've got that right! This song is so simple, yet so powerful.
"Vancouver" by Reckless Kelly and "Winter" by Jushua Radin affect me in a similar way.
true that.
I love Ray. This song is so sad...
This was the way i lived and felt
The fucking pain we all go through , it’s heart breaking
Man just so much raw feeling and emotion, no words except these five....beautiful on every level, masterful.
Oh hellyeah... this one is one of those songs that brings back those memories of when life was just a little different.
This is my FAVORITE way any one has said my name!!! He puts the emphasis on Jo instead of lene!!!
I love this song❤
I'm sorry for that day you hear the world left me in the ditch ❤
One of my favorite movies, well directed classic.
The Town
Jolene deve ser "esquimó"
Just seen this movie.and the song I just HAD TO RECORD❤
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I wonder why - ??? Lol...
I first heard this song in high school in 2007 and i absolutely loved it I had heard it in YEARS! But after hearing it on Fire Country I knew every word!
Lyrics:
Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means
Jolene
Ah, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene
Been so long since I seen your face
Or felt a part of this human race
I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long
A man needs something he can hold onto
A nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means
Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene

This is the top heart breaker of this album, great writing Ray!
So glad I got this on wax... songs are classic singer songwriter works. Thanks buddy :)
This song what can i say that hasnt been said here already.
I guess alot of young men felt like this trying to find their way and couldnt find the words to say it.
It rings true for many
Gotta hear Ray right now! Love you havin Sierra join in! Thank you all!
How wonderful it is for music and movies to bring us together
I play songs around a campfire…Hank… Willy,, Kristofferson, Beck, the violent phemms!…but nothing moves them like when I dig out a Ray Song….everyone stops talking and starts listening….game loves game.
I didn’t add Dylan…because come on.

احببت الاغنية بالرغم من عدم فهمي للكلمات.
لكن سابحث عن ترجمتها.
1 of the greatest most heartfelt songs ive ever heard...
Thank you @MrMoonsHouse
i'm glad there are so many recent comment on this absolute relic of a song.
Relic? You must be young.
@@mirandabenavides3087 negative energy in the comment section of this song is NOT it. Ew. It's from 2007, chill.
Não canso de ouvir essa canção ela é tão profunda, me faz refletir em tanta coisa 😭😭
This song is dreamy🍃
Selling a coat, to buy cigarettes, just as the rain starts... words that paint a thousand pictures.
Yeah "cocaine flame in my bloodstream" if you've been there you know
@@captaintoyota3171👍💀
If you go to Spokane, don't say it like this song. It's Spo-Can.
@@coastiewoody "Spo-Can" doesn't rhyme with ""rain". No other way to pronounce it than how he did. Sorry 😂
@coastiewoody you're missing the point of the songʻ
Beautiful 🥰
Hey Ray, my dad was a carpenter for 40 years,I used to watch him work hard, he’s dead and gone now,we didn’t have much time n commitment n but I played shelter and he broke down and cried
There are just some albums you can listen to over and over and still love years later
This song makes me miss the things I once held in every place I ever been !*
I've danced with the devil for a while. Got the cover art inked. Loved this one for a long while.
Changes you doesnt it? We made it out be grateful many didnt
@@captaintoyota3171 A bit.
YES!!!!
Always been my favorite of his. This and Hannah. This is the one I go to for when I'm longing and melancholy.
This channel should have a lot more subscribers. I guess some people don't know great music.
you should analyze that
Shows the industry buys subscriptions on bigger channels…
It is very good. So damn good
RIP 🙏 ❤😢
Jolene is my grand daughters name 🖤
Great song...
Hipnotizing voice...1 in a million talent 🤘🐐❤️
Ahhh yes, sing to me baby ❤
Jolene is my wife’s all time favorite.
Listen to always home by Amanda birdsall. Just discovered it sounds like she should be rays opening act.

I know she'll be gone before me. I hold onto every moment before that happens. I weep at work sometimes, behind stacks of copiers in the far side of a warehouse. I know what picking a future with her means. It means I'll probably have to bury her, it's probably too late to have a child with her, but I love her. As long as I can keep with her until one of us has to leave, I don't really want anything else.

It’s a sin how fewer comments or support this has compared to Ed Sheehan.
I’m surprised I had not liked these tracks before… probably because I own the album. Overdue Like, lol.
