I was about to undergo heart surgery when a nurse asked, " Who is your favorite artist? I said Ray LaMontane. A few minutes later, a song was blaring through overhead speakers. As I was being prepped, the outcome of the surgery was unclear so I enjoyed Ray's music one more time as it were my last. It wasn't and I'm a fan for life.

This was my wedding song. We both had been through alot and it fit. A few weeks after getting married my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He lived 7 months. Its been 3 years and have just been able to listen to this song.

I listened to this album while driving late one summers night between Charleston, SC and Savanna, GA....all alone, on my own schedule, with the windows down and Ray’s voice on full volume. It was an utterly intoxicating experience.

I just found out the I’m going to see this incredible artist on September 11th at the Greek in Berkeley. I’m beyond excited!!!!!!

My Lord, this is beyond magnificent! I'm so glad I found Ray LaMontagne.❤😊

Felt the Lord bring this song to rememvrance while praying. Like He was saying, "Let it be Me." I am your Friend when all else fails and when you don't know what to do.

Miss my Wife/best friend... this was my song to her R.I.P. Tracy 1. 31.21

Was sent this song by a friend, I think of him now and then. Where ever you are in life, I wish you well my friend.

My 75 yr old platonic friend, Mr. Hap, played this song for me when I was wound up. It still calms me down. He died of cancer a year ago. Bernard Baston was real gentleman. They don't make them like that anymore. I truly felt understood. I like to think I understood him too. That's how it goes with friends: let it be me. 🥰

I discovered him this morning while having my coffee before work . I have a big surgery in the morning I’ve been feeling very stressed about, so my boyfriend and I had a nice dinner together and then decided to enjoy some music and fresh country air on the front porch after the sun went down… We’re always sharing new music with one another and I mentioned discovering this artist earlier today…He knew him right away, put this song on, got up from his chair, walked over to me and reached out his hand… We danced together like a couple of teenagers … I can’t remember the last time I felt that loved 🥰

This just popped up last night . Dee's been taking chemo and doing great with positive results and then last week she got bad and had to be hospitalized. Got home last night and turned on the stereo. Perfect timing on that one Lord 😁

just asked God to please stay close to me. then this song came on. made me think it was God’s way of talking to me in the lyrics. telling me to lean on Him, and telling me all the words that reflect he understands what I’m feeling right now.

This song absolutely speaks to me and describes exactly how I've been feeling lately. I lost a job that I'd had for 27 years and I was lost and struggling and I felt so alone. I didn't know where my place was in the world. Ray, this song has brought me such comfort. I just love it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Imagine Jesus singing this to you. He is our friend. Let it be Him brothers and sisters. Let Him in. Your life will never be the same I promise

Wow. I really needed this. I feel like it’s a word from the Lord. I’m so alone.

I just heard this tonight when my husband was watching Criminal Minds.., I made him stop talking til I could find it here.. yes! It was on an episode..,OMG! I’m totally smitten! That voice! Those strings! Sending this to my six kids- wow! Why am I just now hearing this! And Such A Simple Thing! Wow! I’m in music love!

Jesus Christ was that a friend that I needed when I couldn’t go on my own any longer 🙏

This man!! without a doubt is one of the best voices and song writers out there!!! I ABSOLUTELY!! LUV this man!!! ❤️🥰😘👏. TY!!

Someone I adore with my heart and soul just sent this to me....I'm sad to say I have never heard it before. Wow, what an incredible song. The lyrics have touched me and the voice....thank you JBR.❤

His voice is uniquely raw, clear and full of depth. The first time I heard it I was hooked 🖤🎶💯

When that guy sent me this song...how could I have NOT fallen madly in love?

There comes a time A time in everyone's life Where nothing seems to go your way Where nothing seems to turn out right There may come a time You just can't seem to find your place And for every door you open Seems like you get two slammed in your face That's when you need someone Someone that you, you can call When all your faith is gone And it feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend that you need Let it be me Let it be me Feels like you're always coming up last Pockets full of nothing and you got no cash No matter where you turn you ain't got no place to stand You reach out for something and they slap your hand Now, I remember all too well Just how it feels to be all alone You feel like you'd give anything For just a little place you can call your own That's when you need someone Someone that you, you can call When all your faith is gone It feels like you cant go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me, let it be me

I listened to this nonstop after the earthquake in Haiti in 2010. My best friend was in the UN building when I collapsed. For 17 days we hoped against hope that we’d find him. One of the worst days of my life when we discovered he didn’t make it. This song still makes me weep but I’ll always be grateful for my dear friend and everything we shared. 😢

I've been homeless in South Florida since April, because of covid politics, terrible employers and sky high rents that no one wants to pay you enough to afford... Rays songs are the calm and comforting friend that's been helping me keep hoping for a better day tomorrow...

Kindness a good thing Proverbs 18:24 There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.

Don’t take it personally, hear the lyrics, “healing energy”

Help me get through this lord. 🙏 I ask you to put in the direction of the person that fits me. I ask you this in jesus name.

This voice.. I used to listen to Ray.. then life came along and I forget stuff and I couldn't remember his name..I just found him again. Thank you for what you do. You help me feel again

I can listen to this album so many times when I’m cooking a cleaning just sit down to relax. Are you taking a ride?.. it’s very special to me

Makes my heart swell with happiness and peaceful thoughts of my husband of 50 years, the moment we met in high school, the first dance, the first kiss, the first touch, ...knowing we would be together forever, I prayed "it would always be me"...Thank-you Ray for getting into my head and heart.

My wedding song. My husband absolutely Loves Ray’s music, as do I.. I’ve always loved listening to Ray speak, his voice is so tender. ❤️

It was you. You chose someone else :(

I'm not gonna lie,...... I'm hearing this song. And it gots me thinking about GOD right about now.....

This makes me want to try one more time to get it right.

This song is so good. It has that old school feel. I can hear van Morrison in lot of this!!

When your dear friend sends you this song Exactly when you need it!! 💜

My mom used to sing this when I was a little girl, I assume she sang it referring to my daddy. He was killed in a car accident in '62, I lost mom to covid in 8/2021, still shocking to my psyche. Now this song reminds me of her... saw Brenda Lee in Branson w/mom several years ago, she is a tiny little thing with a BIG voice!❤ love her!!

I heard this song on my favorite episode of criminal mind

There nothing better than being in try car on a nice or night, windows down, warm air in my face, listening to some music that transport you to a place where only you know!!

I absolutely love this song. I could play it on repeat for hours. (That's when you know you probably need someone, right?)

There’s no denying. Let it be eternity.

My god I am so in love with his voice! Just wow!!! Makes me wanna go on a road trip with the windows down!

I came across this by chance. This is so beautiful. His voice is amazing!

I’m having one of those days. Drowning my sorrow in music. Music, is a friend I always need on these days.

Discovered this beautiful song tonight...and I sent it to someone I think is amazing. I hope this song will let him know all the things he needs to about me. Wish us love!❤(someday🤞)

Voice like a warm cup a milk and honey!

I would bet millions of people can relate to this song. It is beautiful. Love it.

You can hear the pain in his soul, he truly sings from within his life struggles I feel. I feel his heartaches, God only knows I can relate to that, another awesome one is MATT ANDERSON, Broken Man!!!!

Back for the hundredth time to get my fix of Ray after another shitty day at work. I just can't seem to find my place in this world. I miss someone I was in a relationship with over 30 years ago, how f'ed up is that? My 1st love, almost did me in when he broke up with me but I've never forgotten him. Ray helps me feel just a little bit better ❤️

When I first discovered Ray M., I was in my 11th year of being totally without any sort of relationship and on the Navajo Reservation,1800 miles from home, at that. That verse..I remember all too well, just how it feels to be all alone..it hit me hard.

This song means so much to me. I am so hurt right now and feel so lost in a world of darkness. I just have so many emotions going through me right now. Finding it very tough to manage.

I JUST LOVE THIS SONG, SO MUCH... SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE... REALLY TOUCHES MY SOUL.... WHEN PEOPLE R SUFFERING AND I SEE AND FEEL THERE SUFFERING... SOMETIMES LET IT BE ME.... ESPECIALLY CLOSE FAMILY... BUT WHEN UR DOWN AND FEELING BAD CALL SOMEONE... FOREVER STRONG STRONG... REMEMBER LOVE IS FOREVER AND LOVE NEVER FAILS... 🩷🙏🫶

I just lost a great friend and this song just really fits, 😭💔 thank you for bringing this song out. 😢

Every time I listen to this song ... I feel it in my bones !! Absolutely stunning voice as well.

OMGosh, I was watching Criminal Minds reruns, heard this song at the end of season 6 episode 2. I had to look up the singer. WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE you have. I could listen to you all day long. It takes me away, peace, comfort, freedom. THANK YOU FOR SUCH BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WITH YOUR AWESOME VOICE.

Nothin but love for ya baby! Got an insane amount of soul and love in your music! Just thought u should know.😂

Love, the greatest gift God gave to all His children! Woman! The second greatest gift God gave to man❤

Miss you dad. I did it though. I made it out alive and I am happy. Im gonna play this when I get married for you.

❤️❤️❤️

I miss you Bonnie...You still have my heart. ❤️ RIP baby girl.

Oh Ray you speak to my soul! Love this!

I love this man's sultry smokey tone

A beautiful voice I would to hear more from him

I just love the song

"If it's a friend you need...let it be me..."

Years ago I was in my car and heard him on a local college radio station. Thanks to college/young people I have been introduced to music I wouldn't have heard of, Ray LaMontagne.

This is where I need to be at right now. In this song. I need to listen to songs like this more often. Especially when I look at it through a spiritual perspective. It helps me,.......it fixes me.

Beautiful ❤️ love this song

Crimal minds

wow I love this man what lyrics .Took me to my knees oh my heart.

Something about his music takes me back to being a child. riding through the mountains thinking every little thing I saw was as mighty as they are, as I could be sometimes. every laugh from my siblings was pure joy just like every new discovery and glimpse I got. Every song takes me home, reminds me of the naïve wonder I had as a child. Convinces me to hold onto it a little longer. I am forever grateful to not loose such a big part of myself, to still feel wonder and love without holding it back.

One of the greatest songs I've ever heard

All children matter. All kids count

My husband is in the, U.S Air Force, in Damascus. He sends me a song every night. Last, it was this one. Of course I wept...he's so far away. 😢 I miss him so, so much.

I'm so glad 'House" helped me find out about his music!

Voice of an Angel 😇 with chords sent directly from Heaven 🙏💐💕🍀 blessing & healing all of us...thank you for this living, breathing Prayer: Love in Action.🕯️🎻 Merci Beaucoup! 🇨🇵

I found this artist by happenstance about a month ago…. Where have I been all these years??? Now it seems like I hear him everywhere, outdoor malls, commercials, on TV shows. So excited that I found him. Heading to New Orleans to see him on May 16th. Lucky me lol!!!

This man and his music is fuckin amazing, ease my anxiety so much, I keep playing his music over and over
