Music review: Ray LaMontagne 无毛视频� 无毛视频楳onovision无毛视频�
I always find a calming comfort from listening to a Ray LaMontagne album. From 2004无毛视频檚 无毛视频淭rouble无毛视频� to 2018无毛视频檚 无毛视频淧art of the Light,无毛视频� LaMontagne repeatedly strikes a sentimental chord that sparks memories of joy, love and simpler times.
The eighth release from the singer-songwriter is yet another passionate collection of heartfelt arrangements saturated with intimate musings, making it one of his finest efforts to date.
无毛视频淩oll Me Mama, Roll Me无毛视频� opens the set with the New Hampshire native offering up a tender acoustic ballad about the search for a meaningful love as LaMontagne declares, 无毛视频淚 don无毛视频檛 want a shadow life/I want the clouds, the sea, the sky, the real things.无毛视频�
无毛视频淚 could sing you a song/Play you a tune/I know it无毛视频檚 just a little thing, but it无毛视频檚 something I can do,无毛视频� declares LaMontagne as he looks for ways to give back to someone who has displayed consistent compassion through both the good and bad times. 无毛视频淚 Was Born to Love You无毛视频� is a simplistic masterpiece of experiencing meaningful love with LaMontagne professing, 无毛视频淛ust wanna give back a little bit of what you give me.无毛视频�
On 无毛视频淢isty Morning Rain,无毛视频� hints of Cat Stevens and Joni Mitchell embrace LaMontagne无毛视频檚 haunting lyrics as man becomes one with the wonder of nature.
无毛视频淗ad our share of the pain/Of the clouds and the rain/Lean on me and I无毛视频檒l lean on you/And together, we无毛视频檒l get through,无毛视频� softly sings LaMontagne on 无毛视频淲e无毛视频檒l Make It Through.无毛视频� While it might be a beautiful declaration of love, this moving ballad also carries a significant message of the times by reminding us that together we can overcome anything.
无毛视频淗ighway to the Sun无毛视频� brings the album to a soulful close as LaMontagne outlines the journey to feel something real before it无毛视频檚 too late as he confesses, 无毛视频淚 don无毛视频檛 know where I无毛视频檓 going/I无毛视频檝e got miles and miles yet to run.无毛视频�
With many miles left to run, LaMontagne will certainly have plenty of opportunities to charm his fans with more well-crafted compositions on life, love and experiencing a purposeful existence.
