If I was to write honestly, I’d tell you that this song resonates deeply with me. The story told by Ray Lamontagne could be – at least in part – my own. But perhaps this is the magic of his songwriting. Listen, and let its truth touch your own.
Listening to Ray LaMontagne sing this stripped back love song breaks your heart. When he asks, “Are we strangers now?” streams a vision of past loves and friends through my mind – and the look on KT Tunstall’s face at the end of the song (about 6:18) says it all. This is why live performance always wins.
