Ray LaMontagne - Empty Lyrics
She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
And I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters
Through grass grown tall and brown
And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain
On past the busted back
of that old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field collecting rain
Will I always feel this way ‒
So empty, so estranged?
And of these cut-throat busted sunsets,
I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusted dime-store lips
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me?
Lay your blouse across the chair,
Let fall the flowers from your hair
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain.
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
To me it sounds like they're applauding us,
The quiet love we've made.
Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged?
Well, I looked my demons in the eyes
laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me.
You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me."
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
There's a lot of ways to die
Yes, and some already dead that walk beside me
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Why so many people lie
Well, it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fires inside me
Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged?

Ray LaMontagne Empty Comments
You’ll catch ticks
if you’re walking through
the tall brown grass 😞
put on a jacket if you’re standing
underneath the rain🤒
Sad or happy, empty or estranged.🥧☕️
😢💔
♥️♥️♥️
This is so good, please support the musician at his official site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K8ut4H1UPY.
Unfortunately I haven't food money. Only I have alcohol purpose money. Even I haven't any bed . So I have to sleep in the floor as like road. That much poor & orphan I have to tell. Now understand bye bye. Strictly stay away from me.
Saw Ray at the Ryman Auditorium... one of the best concerts I've ever seen...
Since YouTube... I must admit I'm not ashamed to say that the comment section does affect how I precive or even like the song. I get to see real human stories associated with the songs and that make songs all the more beautiful. So is my feeling of this song now too.
❤️♥️.
Quelle jolie chanson et cette mélodie ....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Am just rewinding back so that I can read the comments and feel watery in eyes.. Love is a weapon
Miss you Shiann...
What a beautiful voice
What have I just discovered . My ears! They're loving it 😓😓😓😓
My anthem
It's bizzare how the people we were so intimate with eventually became total strangers filled with ignominy and cold stares.
His voice😍
This is good
this is the rhythm of my mood swings
2020 anyone?
This is a beautiful and dark song. Thank you , so many of us, for many different reasons can relate, not because we feel the same, but because what we feel resonates ... Each of us unique in our feeling, but all of us relating to the beauty and the darkness.
Nine years ago my fiance left me for another. This was the song that I sang to make her fall in love with me on that summer night in Yangzhou. Having a good cry and enjoying V-day with a forlorn smile of optimism and hope!
Lyrics Are so specific yet all of us can relate
was there // past memories // Will be there soon
Damn...
💖👏🌸🍀🌷🌺🌿🌷💫🙋♀️💖
Ray songs is on my SoundCloud playlist!
After 9 years of it's release I finally watched this movie. Have to admit , it was such a psychological treat ....
2020 And every day till eternity :)
Here in 2020 anyone?
Yes, on my playlist
I only feel empty with You Tiffy C.B.
When the comment section is about someone leaving someone but you know you'll be alone forever..
never heard this before, shame
My English 3 teacher brought me here
Part Bob Dylan part Tracy Chapman
Since my 20s this song always described my inner fellings word for word... and now I am 31 didn’t change. Is sad but at the same time comforting.
every second of every day.... this song takes me back to us.. the us we once were.. the us we'll never be again.. moonlit kisses, sunsets with drenched bodies soaked by a summer rain.
The you I never knew
The you I'll never hold again.. my soul yearns , my eyes pour an endless supply of tears .. the seconds feel like minutes
The minutes ... hours..
The hours... days
The days years..
It feels like eternity..
and it's only been 3 months..
The greatest lessons are the hardest to learn.
The heart that bleeds is the the softest.. my soul is on fire as I burn in the hell of losing you..
Can we put this song in whatever the next western movie is?
Beautiful ❤️
Okay, I need to find a happy song of his after this... My heart can't handle
"Will always feel this way"
2020 Still Listening <3
Detachment movie brought me here..❤
Has to be the most powerful song I've heard
Will i always feel this way?
So empty, estranged!!!
started my CUDA 440 6.P HERE COME THE TICKETS
I had a relationship of 8 long years now she married to someone else. I dnt knw what to do. I am passing through very difficult stage of my life...
Hey... will be alright somehow... things happen to happen...
It'll be okay
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've felt empty for 7 years because of losing people I love ....
He reminds me of Joshua Radin
I know this song is about a love affair gone, but so many of the words describe the loss of anyone. I lost my son to suicide 4 years ago and I feel this empty, this estranged...every.single.day.
This and other fine emo tunes on my Playlist

Anyone here because he was in Family Guy and you had no idea who he was?
Williamsport PA, as I walked hand in hand with my beautiful friend a chinchilla name Hokahay. We had a love so close and he was my best friend. When he died I felt the emptiness of not having the need to care or love any other.
TOO NICE //FEW WILL UNDERSTAND THIS SONG // BEEN THERE
HIS LOST ////
TRUE IMAGERY //THIS IS HOW IT WAS ...BEEN THERE .
REALITY...JUST BEAUTIFUL. 💖💥
"Will I always feel this way
So empty
So estranged?"
Dear God...I hope not...
anyone here in 2020.
He never learned to count his blessings.
He chose instead to dwell in his disasters..
.
.
.
.
I saw him as a blessing. He never thought of me that way.
Will [I] always feel this way
He looks so much like Paul Mccartney
if Paul McCartney had plastic surgery to not look like Paul McCartney
When the sky has been black for so long, and you begin to lose hope of ever feeling the sun again in this lifetime, "empty" is the song that quietly plays in your head.
I think this song is happy
This is probably is best work. The poetic story of innocence and simplicity of love balanced with the dark serpent which is part of the human condition. Not only beautiful lyrics, but his interpretation of the song is unique and heartfelt.
i never learned to count my blessings
i choose instead to dwell in my disasters
call 911, suicide alert

I found this song back in 2015 when I was a college goer. I used to listen to this song every morning and start my day with it. God I miss those days.
Do yoga
Sounds so happy and sad simultaneously, reflecting the duality and absurdity of life. So beautiful.
2020 anyone??

The emptiness and loneliness in my life haunts me.
Me too ❤

I fucking love you. Remember that. No matter who you are. I love you. The world is crashing down as i write this, slowly and steadily. And i feel there is little room for unconditional love left, so here I am speaking to whomever may read this - i love you
I love you too...
SUCH NICE LYRICS/ /UNDERSTAND THIS /? YES YOU ??
my friend send me this song what does he mean I didn't get it
He is in love with you trust me
anyone 2019?
Forever
I remember a friend of mine from Greece had posted this song on Facebook during one of my tax seasons this year. It really hit me home and had me reflect a lot from my misfortunes in life. She and I didn't have the best relationship and I made the mistake trying to change her instead of understanding her pain.... it also didn't help I fell in love with her and caused a lot of pain for not being able to have her.... I was very selfish and knew that my actions would lead her to ghost me about a month ago. I haven't heard from her since and probably never will.... it's so sad because we were going to make plans to see each other in person. I don't think I could ever see her the same way again after everything. All I will say is that for the two years I knew Joanna she was a great person that came into my life and she will be missed dearly. If you are out there Joanna reading these comments while listening to this song.... this one is for you.
Of all the things the internet gives me, nothing provides more joy than discovering such beautiful random melody. Pure joy ❤️
You're so right...it's the music that is the most important for me - probably could give up everything else except internet access to music 🎵🎵🎵
I admit that i loved that girl whom i used to talk everyday for so long time and all of a sudden she stops talking. I wonder where i went wrong but still here with a empty heart.
Maybe something happened to her or maybe she just changed her mind on what she wanted. You focus on yourself and never forget that you should put yourself first on your list. You won't always feel this way.
Camila Retamozo Hurtado least thing I expected from her was reason to do so. I am working on my self.i am going to gym lately.
Thank you
