ray

original version of ray's "the best thing" played with the pariah dogs. lord almighty. that voice. (i'm sorry the video is sideways. i haven't taken much video with my phone and didn't know that it wouldn't upload longways like photos do. it's not about the video anyway. it's about the gorgeous voice)

and here is ray singing the same thing and explaining it. and it's the whole song.

so, at the beginning of most of his songs, ray will count off "uh 1, 2, 3, 4". mary ellen turned to me after one of his count downs and said, "how come when danny counts, i don't feel like this". it's true. ray has the sexiest voice in the world. he could say anything. ANYTHING. and i feel awkward talking about him like this because i can tell that he doesn't want people to like him. he wants people to listen to his music, and be done. come see his shows, but not see him. he seems so shy. and that's what's beautiful. i once read that ray doesn't make music videos because he thinks that should be left for beautiful people to do. well ray, i think you are one of the most beautiful people on the earth. you write and sing the MOST beautiful things and nothing could be more attractive. (and you've got a sexy beard. and nice style. and nice hair. and sweet eyes. and that voice!)

look at me blogging my heart out about ray lamontagne, and i haven't barely said my boyfriend's name here. haha! i do love my boyfriend though! i'll save him for another, longer post ♥
