    In June of 2020, I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. I have been in the fight of my life ever since. My wife, my high school sweetheart, and I celebrated our 56th anniversary this year but our celebration was dampened by the fear of the unknown. She is terrified of what I may have to deal with as my treatment has failed to keep my cancer in check. I have been a long time fan of Ray's beautiful music but it was only recently I found this song. One night I played it for my wife while we slowly danced in our kitchen, as our tears glistened on both our faces. We had been feeling so isolated as my disease progressed but for a moment, that moment, we were newlyweds again. Thank you Ray for such an important and magical piece of music.

      Brave words. Please remember that love and pain are in equal measure. I really do wish you well. I also believe that we may all meet up again somewhere, somehow because nobody can explain what happens to our consciousness. You might, one day, meet up with a Liverpool lad called CP !

    It is currently 12:39 am. My dad died two weeks ago, and I accidentally stumbled upon this song trying to google the lyrics to another favorite song of his. I can't help but think he or the universe wanted me to find this. His name was Melvin Wayne Bray, and he was the best dad in the world. I love you dad. Enjoy your rest. You deserve to be happy.

My nurse daughter who deals directly with Covid patients is dealing with a bout of chronic asthma. I can't be with them right now so I turn to you, Ray and once again, I find comfort in the brilliant humanity of your music. I always do. I'll make it through.

    This song reminds me of my son we lost to suicide in Nov 2020 we always made it through all of life’s challenges. He was an extra ordinary ER nurse for 20 plus years. He was very knowledgeable in whatever encountered. He loved the outdoors and hunting. He loved animals especially dogs.
    But most of all he Loved his children. He worked hard in life, he was driven to be the best at all he did.
    He loved his spouse, even when there were problems .
    He never wanted to give up, then one day was harder than the next and he couldn’t find the peace and the reality he was facing. He gave in once again to being replaced by someone else. Or replaced to live in the lies and torment of his decease PTSD from dealing with all he had faced. God knows I miss him beyond belief, but I pray he is living on in a place of peace and still sharing his medical knowledge and abilities.
    I Love You Son and Miss You

      Joanie, Sorry for the loss of your beloved son. I lost my baby brother to suicide 14 years ago. Depression was something he could not rise above, even with counciling and anti-depression medication. He was 45 years old and left a wife and three kids. I did not get the chance to say goodbye to him. At his funeral, his church pastor used Psalm 91 to relate how, if we seek God, He is there to love and protect us. At the time, it didn't make sense to me as to how this Psalm fit the circumstances of my brother leaving us. Now, I understand it was a message directed at those who loved him. I hope you read and understand what Psalm 91
      is saying. It now brings comfort and hope to me as I read it daily. God bless you Joanie, as we wait to see our loved ones again.

    If you are listening to this song with a loved one hold them tight because a successful marriage is watching the other one die. My dad died 2 years ago. I've watched my mom pass away a little more everyday since. We exchange half of our hearts to our loved one and when they are no longer there they take their half back, leaving a giant void of grief behind. Truth be told, it's not going to get any better and it's not going to be okay. Your golden years are in your twenties and end in your late thirties.

    This song is dedicated to my Beautiful Wife. When we started our life together, times were hard. Do you remember that $20 loveseat we bought after we just got married? My little Toyota was never the same after we hauled it home. We tore the floor and the walls out of our bathroom and two weeks later it was the nicest room in our little house. Storms and clouds came. So, we danced in the pouring rain. We replaced windows and tore down old gutters. We replaced radiators, starters, and alternators in our little cars.
    You worked two jobs and I stayed up late writing papers. You pushed me and told me everything would be okay. Had to replace the refrigerator, but had nothing to spoil. Then, July came and our air-conditioning unit retired. So, we continued to dance in the rain. Fresh cooked bacon, coffee, and our children's laughter made me feel like a king. So, I dug in deeper and pushed harder. You pushed even harder with that wonderful smile.
    Looking out the window now, my father passed away. I called to say that I needed you and you came right away. You told me everything would be okay. Struggling to make the light bill now, down to one car and one last prayer. Lilly needs eye surgery. It's January now, our stove, hot water heater and clothes dryer has gone out. You look me in the eyes and tell me to hold on. So, we continue dancing in the pouring rain.
    Tears roll down my cheeks as I sit on our little puke green loveseat with a 45 pressed against my head. I can hear my children laughing as they play in the yard. You sit across from me now and tears roll down your cheeks too. I can't hear the clock on the wall behind me. The sound of my children playing and birds chirping in the trees has stopped. You look at me, your voice beings to crack as you say, it's going to be okay, because it's suppose to rain later on and you owe me another dance.

      I think he has shaped his career exactly as he wants. He lacks the desire to be famous to be really famous. Look at his limited touring for a start. I saw him in Manchester at the Bridgewater Hall and he could have taken that style of performance to the top of the charts and beyond yet he turned his back on it. And good on him, I don't like his latest works and for that I also applaud him because he is not letting himself be stuck in one place. I was so excited for his collaboration with Dan Aurbach and was left cold by it, but again, he went int he direction he wanted. Gotta love an artist who says "to hell with what 'they' want, I am doing what I want".

I think back on them and do not necessarily want them back. I simply dont want them to dissolve. However, at times in this age you get lost trying to overcome the complicated nature of humans and of relationships, and of emotion.

    Listening to Rays music is like riding a train from coast to coast. We know where we got on. We made it to our seats. We started looking out the window and watched all the beautiful scenery pass by. The train goes fast... it goes slow....it makes turns. But you realize it’s a long beautiful ride. Some things feel familiar, some are seen for the first time. Some things make you smile... some make you cry. You remember things you’ve forgotten. You look forward to things ahead. You are grateful you are onboard. You hear that magical voice and you know you are on a journey.... and everything is going to be ok!!!

Like the other gentleman I lost my wife of 33 years to cancer and was watching this season of Virgin River and this song came on and immediately knew it was Ray and brought me to tears. Unfortunately I knew in my heart she was not going to make it. 😢 I kept playing this song over and over…

      You honored her, you honor her now, and you will honor her in the moments to come by cherishing her memory, celebrating her life, and staying strong, positive, happy… If/when I leave my family, these are the things I would want them to remember, especially when they are missing me… I don’t think we are ever too far away from each other… I know she is proud and honored by your words, and love… And, that can apply to so many people here… I will say prayers for strength you you, and everyone who has shared what they have been getting through… 🕊️

      💔Sadly, there are poor souls in the world who’ve waxed bitter, and cold, lacking the sensitivities they may’ve had before the rains came….
      …meaning, they were hurt so deeply that when loved ones made efforts to comfort them, were not only inconsolable, but were also insulted having mistaken someone’s efforts for being seen as weak, and from there, begin building walls up to protect themselves, and be perceived like the Rock of Gibraltar strong, instead of embracing pain the natural way, going through the process of healing by feeling it, and with time, often one is able to re~open their heart to love once again…
      The trouble with putting walls up to purposefully prevent our heart’s from being broken again is to be emotionally crippled unable to feel passion, inspirations, excitements, grief, joy, sadness, hope, love, and all the rest!
      Without feelings, it’s as if you’ve already died, and over time, without loving and being loved, the heart waxes mean, and bitter, and cold like a stone that
      feels nothing….
      So anyone who hits the 👎🏻to Ray’s beautiful heartfelt songs, sung by his uniquely comforting voice, should only
      be pitied since they’re probably carrying around a very heavy, hardened heart….
      🙏🏻💔🕊

    Ray, your music has got me through such a stressful time. I have all your albums, but I most recently listened to Ouroboros and Part Of The Light and I've been more moved by your work than ever before. I was sick - I doubt with Covid - but I was freaking out bc I could not get tested. I could not sleep and when I did I woke up in terrible night sweats. Two weeks of being sick and my wife wanted me to do a puzzle with her. I was pretty useless and feeling like garbage. I put those two records on and I can't tell you how soothing it was. I tried singing, holding those long notes. It helped me so much. I treasure all these songs. Thanks for this new song and for all the light and color you put into the world.
