YUP.

Why thank you.. And you as well

truth

Autoplay brought me here. But.. I'm not hating it.

More like, no disrespect, if you're here and don't like Ray or this song then you're an Ass Hat 😎

lol

hmmm... passes out?? you sure he's ENJOYING your singing??

Sacred stuff.

Wow. That’s nice 😊

Of course their is. Relying on the radio was your first mistake. There is a plethora of good music these days. You just need to find it. Turn the radio off, it is garbage.

Yes.....so soothing and relaxing. Ray really puts you in a beautiful state of mind.

Yes and thank you for choosing better words instead of the overkilled “amazing” and “epic”

Ah, one who knows. May your guardians bless you with the peace which comes with the wisdom to understand the lessons here so that you might "punch your own ticket" next time. If you can believe it, suicide/drugs is easier than murder. I have one of each, plus one. The "new girl" owned me, lock, stock, and barrel at age 22, by the time I'd been in her presence not a second longer than forty-five. Her voice took my soul upon first hearing and then her laughter took ownership of my heart a few seconds later. I was all done. She was in a LTR and I was crawling out of a bad first marriage. I couldn't tell a soul I knew that this girl had changed me by talking to me and smiling. I could FEEL her (not scent, not hear, not touch. Energy) if she stood within arms' length of me. I didn't believe in any of that "Destiny" shit. Right up until I met her. Make no mistake, I had to "gear up" inside my mind to get to this girl, tighten my act, but I HAD NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. She had changed the way I thought about half the planet's population. I had become a feminist in 1977 because any problem I put HER face on, I was all over. I know, but I'd been breaking any of the necessary rules to get to her, so it was OK. She said, "Yes!" with that little "hop" girls sometimes make when happy or excited. It had taken me eighteen months. She had now put me in the position where I could at least now beg: "Please never, ever, send me from you side." I had won the world. There would be no greater "victory" for me. I had succeeded BEYOND my wildest fantasy of beauty and love. Ten months after the sudden death of my best friend and polymath mentor, my own father who had died at 43 of heart disease, and now I was going to be OK! This shaman I had not yet kissed or even touched would heal me, she had already begun. She swore me to secrecy that Thursday, Feb 23, so that she could go tell her ex herself. I did not know him, his temperament. She talked to him on Friday PM, in person. On Monday overnight, on her way home, she was stabbed and left to bleed out, not surviving the stabbing so savage it surprised investigators that that hospital being only seven blocks away had made no difference. Over four decades later, a dream from which I could not "disengage" took me back (then) 41 years to the moment I heard, "Julie's dead." And saw the emptiness of Hell again. Still the same joint it was when Mom OD'd on pills to which she wasn't addicted out of the blue eight years prior to the girl's death, seven before my Dad's sudden death. So now only I, the killer and his wheel man, who is also known to me, are the three people who even know I was engaged to the girl. For four days. And the moment of hearing news of her death was so damaging, I essentially became a lesser person, a temporarily broken person, but one who could not be prompted to self-harm by a single reminder of a girl or a father who had been my bestie for a long time before I figured it out, within the same calendar year. The manuscript/memoir up through age 23.5 is somewhere north of 600 (six hundred) pages, lol. I'm in an agent search rn. wwwA. julieBcampbellCmurder.Dcom Pull A-D, the four capital letters, eliminate the space after the Ws. The site is not mine, I did not become aware of its existence until the end of 2019 The biggest eye-opener for me (so far) is knowing that I am blessed to merely be alive. To be here highly-functioning on a couple of levels just looks like bad script writing. It's not. But the girl validated my life with a single word this time. Every single word is true. Every one. I'm the guy not mentioned anywhere on the site because my brain had been smashed flat at the end of February and I barely knew my own name when the warm weather came to stay awhile that summer. As a young child I had once heard a story of great love and great loss and I wondered how adults dealt with such matters. Be careful for that which thou wishes ...

Yes ! I'm relatively new to this type and i love neil young. Now I have confirmation that these 2 people make similar music. Thanks :)

And Joni Mitchell!! (Listen to Free Man in Paris)

Hey Dennis. Hi from Australia r U still listening.Cheers

Good taste you have

with a touch of Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell

Jennifer Kafka nice post.

Yep Resonates...PURE LOVE BABY💋

Too right, you!!! Right on to all you fellow KZfaqrs (especially the new generation) out there who appreciate REAL MUSIC . . . and ultimate props to all the REAL MUSICIANS who pour their hearts and souls into keeping our ears bent!!! Stay true.

Ryan Sullivan never stop! Lol

Yup

+patricia thomas I've read many comments comparing Ray's style to Joni Mitchell and I can see that. But your likening him to Carole King is bang on. I can absolutely hear that coming through. Good call.

:)

I've recently just heard of him myself. I really like his songs. For the longest time I thought "Beg Steal Or Borrow" was actually Joni Mitchell. Her voice has dropped as she's gotten older. This song sounds like her too, the way the chorus resolves in that jazzy way she has... like in her song "Help me." (Alias GNS)

patricia thomas go and see him live if you get the chance! Real artist! 🇬🇧

great stuff

Mor Bels...Your comment is as beautiful as Ray’s music. Thank you friend🙏🏽

Thx for posting the wonderful words to this beauty!

Tonia B....thanks for lyrics, but I was intrigued by your use of the question mark after "ain't a man alive that likes to be alone?" Pure genius that Ray wrote it so that it can have two meanings. With a period, he is lamenting his solitude, exclaiming that nobody should be alone. With a question mark, he poses the interrogative, "Is not a man alive that seeks to be alone?"

aye we can hear the lyrics

@@williammcnally4445 aye??? is that you captain morgan??

You are very much appreciated for this

just too cool!

wow!

Kathleen Stachovich beautiful, excellent choice

Kathleen Stachovich Nor a love song.

I would have liked to have seen your walking tempo to that! I;m seeing a slow skip in lieu of a slow walk. No disgrace to your choice in music, but I'm thinking that would have been an interesting isle dance to see! Beats the hell out of the traditional old-school wedding march, but I'm still having a hard time picturing the the tempo coordination. Good on ya! ;)

Hows your daughter doing?

Tou-che! That's why I'm glad I got to hear it while still living in what seems to be a good music spot (Colorado) before moving

JayNohh Great!! Since a short time ago, I became a fan and I must say his music is not so famous in the Netherlands (were I live)

Yo también la escucho hoy por primera vez y creo que será un lindo recuerdo que no olvidaré, como tampoco olvidare la razón por la que llegué aqui, la escuche y la estoy comentando.

Me also, 10 years ago in the middle and end of big D, then moved to Mass from Ca, this song was my go to on the guitar.

Definitely -- especially in certain turns and bends of the melody.
