Let it be me by Ray Lamontagne

Let it be me is one of my favourite song by Ray Lamontagne in his third released Gossip In the Grain album. As commented from his web site, this album ‘proves to be his most creative and emotionally expansive collection to date.’ Well, I certainly can’t argue with that. Perhaps, his music had mature over the years.

I just can’t tell you how soothing, relaxing and amazing Ray voice is. You just have to listen it yourself. And this song is breath taking. Almost anyone can relate to this song, whether a friend, a lover or family member. It is very comforting. As long as there is someone special in your heart, you pretty much can relate to it. No doubt about that.

I still remember the first time I heard this song it gave me chill spine. I was like “woah!!! this is amazing! this man got soul.” Every time, when I heard this song it gave me this warmth feeling and make me kinda wish to have someone by my side. Cuddle in the couch and just simply enjoy each other companion in silent. Or hugs together and dance slowly. Melting into each other embrace. Too bad that special one still does not exist in my life right now. How sad ):

This song is pretty straight forward or self-explanatory. The meaning is simple and clear. Yet, it was beautiful and soulful.

There comes a time,
A time in everyone's life
When nothing seems to go your way,
When nothing seems to turn out right

There may come a time,
You just can't seem to find your place
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,
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 comin' up last
Pockets full of nothin' ain't got no cash
No matter where you turn
You ain't got no place to stand
You reach out for somethin' and they slap your hand

I remember all too well
Just how it feels to be all alone
To 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 can't go on
