My wife, the absolute best thing that ever happened to me, passed away on Jan 13th 2021 of ovarian cancer. Due to Covid we had to delay her funeral to a celebration of life on Jan 30th. Well I had never heard the song until the week after she died in my arms. But I was blown away and Ray's song was the exit song for my sweet precious wife's celebration of life event.
❤️we are so privileged to have such a love-sometimes more than once in our lives. So sorry for your loss. I know it is devastating as I’ve experienced it myself. Ps 73:26.
My husband passed away on Wednesday, this was the song we danced to on our wedding day. I keep hearing it everywhere..I know that's him letting me know he has been with me all week 💔
I love you, Ivonne!! This was our first dance as husband and wife. I will never forget this moment! You are the best thing in my life. Now and forever!
You can hear the passion in his voice while singing this gem of a song!! It's so moving and gives me chills because it depicts what my wife is to me and our family!! I love you my rib!!
#RAYLAMONTAGNE #GOSSIPINTHEGRAIN The horns are blaring, the bass is thumping and cousin Ray is singing. What could be better than that? Raymond Charles, you write the best music. You are a true artist. Listening to your music is like watching a painter create a masterpiece. Beautiful 😀👍👍👍🎹🎸🥁🎸🎷🎺💜💖❤️🧡💚💛💙
I met a person during the toughest time of my life that accepted my extra baggage and wanted to be my friend. They're easily the reason I'm still here. And they're all I think about when I hear this song.
This was my wife and I's song we did our first dance to at our wedding in 2019. It is now one of our son's favorite songs at 2.5months of age. This song absolutely instantly stops his tears.
I just love the way he sings this.....the way he accentuates the word YOU....emphasizing the word ARE!!!!! ♡ ❤♡ He's singing it so plain && simple ♡❤♡ ......omg!!! I ♡ THIS...🎉
My wife and I danced to this for our wedding... 4 years and many more to come. We always come back a few times a year to listen together... Always will be the greatest love song......
This song resonates so much with me. I am absolutely madly in love with my husband. And more and more in love every single day. He is the one I talk to and turn to, but our journey hasn’t been perfect. Either way, he is the best thing to ever happen to me, and I need him to trust my love is real. Thank you for writing this. It’s as close to my love experience as any song could get.
A few weeks ago, my dog that I grew up with passed. I will always remember his patient nature that earned him the name Best Dog Ever. You will be missed Oberon, you truly were the best thing that ever happened to me.
It's funny now how you can hear a song that catches you and brings you to tears 😢 This song is first time ever hearing it and it's at a Car dealership and it's my night job and this month is my first year without my wife of 18 years, she passed last May 15, 💔 and I would hear songs and I would send them to her and this is definitely one I would have sent to her even now I still listen to her song by Charlie Wilson, 'You Are " and this song will be on my play list, she will always be 🌹🙏🏽❤
Ray Lamontagne showed up at the right time in my life many years ago, to this day he’s still got it like no other. I was hung up fr, like no other artist ever existed, Jolene being my favorite, but he could sing anything and I’d listen. What a beautiful soul this man has pure, raw, authentic, and vulnerable. You’ll never grow old to me. ❤
“And baby The way you move me, it's crazy It's like you see right through me And make it easier You please me, you don't even have to try”Ray set the bar!🤪😂His tunes raise my vibes, my spirits, soul and relationship goals!🙌🏼🌸
Baby It's been a long day, baby Things ain't been going my way You know I need you here To clear my mind All the time And baby The way you move me, it's crazy It's like you see right through me And make it easier You please me, you don't even have to try Oh, because You are the best thing (You're the best thing) You are the best thing (You're the best thing, baby) You are the best thing (You're the best thing, ooh) Ever happened to me Baby We've come a long way, baby You know, I hope and I pray that you believe me When I say this love will never fade away Oh, because You are the best thing (You're the best thing) You are the best thing (You're the best thing, baby) You are the best thing (You're the best thing, ooh) Ever happened to me Both of us have known love before To come on up promising like the spring To walk on out the door Hearts are strong, and our hearts are kind Well, let me tell you just exactly what's on my mind You are the best thing (You're the best thing) You are the best thing (You're the best thing, baby) You are the best thing (You're the best thing, ooh) Ever happened to me You are the best thing (You're the best thing) You are the best thing (You're the best thing, baby) You are the best thing (You're the best thing, ooh) Ever happened to me You are the best thing (Yeah, yeah) You are the best thing (Yeah, yeah, yeah) You are the best thing (Now, now, now, now, now) That ever happened to me
My first day of college Jazz Band was yesterday, and we played this song. I don't remember where I've heard this song before but I love this class already.
I never knew this was Ray La Montagne until now. Always assumed this song was like 60 years old but it came out in 2008. Feels like I've known it my whole life.
THXs mom and ada m for listening him when he just born in hospital and welltk care him and build him as he is now...may Allah BleSSING mom and dad and meet again here in Dunya and akhirah ammin 🌟
I heard of this artist on The Voice, Sawyer Fredericks mentioned this was his favorite artist. Oh wow, I was blown away! I am a fan forever, love his voice ❤
I love this guy's voice. The honesty, the vulnerability of it is reminiscent of 70s and 80s soul. Has a simply red, Van Morrison vibe. Loved him since I first saw the trouble commercial.
The melody touches my soul everytime and with that special person that always comes to mind. One thing with music, even when it hits you you feel no pain.
My daughter and I heard this on the citi bank commercial. We both were searching for a james Morrison song. We were both convinced it was James and not Ray. Made a fan out of us.

Reading this hurt my heart and I am so sorry for your loss 💔
Thank you for sharing that! Powerful!
My warmest regards☘️
I don’t know what I’d do without my husband/best friend.
May peace and harmony carry you through this difficult journey☘️
Are you ok? How are you doing?
I have played this song on the morning of my son’s birthday to wake him up for years!! What a wonderful tribute to those we love.
My husband passed away on Wednesday, this was the song we danced to on our wedding day. I keep hearing it everywhere..I know that's him letting me know he has been with me all week 💔
My condolences to you and family!!!🙏💜
Sorry for your loss thank you for sharing!
This was our 1st dance at our wedding as well ❤
We are all with you. You will never be alone unless it's by choice.
Many prayers and God bless you 🙏♥️
I’m with my fiancé who’s going through the roughest time but want him to know he’s the best thing that ever happened to me ❤
I Give Thanks And Praise To The Most High For My Wife, My Rachel❤️♾️❤️
I am honored to be your wife
And I love you♥️♾️♥️
Hell yeah man! I love this!! Many happy years to come for you both!
Don't know who she is but give my love
Some people have different talents, I love this world ❤ 13.2.56🎉
I love you, Ivonne!! This was our first dance as husband and wife. I will never forget this moment! You are the best thing in my life. Now and forever!
This is my song to my dog. Instead of being the best thing, he's the best "bean". It's not a romantic love, but I wouldn't be here without him :)
OH SO NICE!
#ForeverGratefulForAngelsOnEarth 🐾😽🐞🦄🪶🦋
Aw, that’s cute. “The Bean” was one of my old dog’s nicknames.
I just heard this song for the very first time. I pray that one day, I will experience its true meaning. ❤
You can hear the passion in his voice while singing this gem of a song!! It's so moving and gives me chills because it depicts what my wife is to me and our family!! I love you my rib!!
God bless you guys for so many years
I sing the chorus to my dog everyday :)
😂😂💯💯
Our wedding song. ❤️
Hell yes

...show dog
Everytime I hear this song I tell my husband, "here's your song".......he truly is the best thing that ever happened to me!
Do you have ANY advice? This life is hard
#RAYLAMONTAGNE #GOSSIPINTHEGRAIN The horns are blaring, the bass is thumping and cousin Ray is singing. What could be better than that? Raymond Charles, you write the best music. You are a true artist. Listening to your music is like watching a painter create a masterpiece. Beautiful 😀👍👍👍🎹🎸🥁🎸🎷🎺💜💖❤️🧡💚💛💙
Sing this to my Hubby when I’m having a sad day❤
Makes me so happy seeing his ocean eyes twinkle ✨

I've heard other singers do this song but Ray LaMontagne does it the BEST.
His voice is outstanding.
My wedding song. The love of my life. We both got it right the second time around ❤
My husband and I used to dance with our son to this song when he was a baby. Son's 13 now and this song still gets me right in the feels. ❤
Awww 😭😭😭😭🥰
@RayLamontagnemusicincnice meeting you too! Love your music!!
@RayLamontagnemusicinc no, we haven't, but I want to so badly! Are you touring? If yes, when will you be in the Atlanta area?
The best thing for sure. When my babies were little I thought "Oh this will last forever" the most beautiful time of my life.
the song is only 5 years old hahahaha
I just love the way he sings this.....the way he accentuates the word YOU....emphasizing the word ARE!!!!! ♡ ❤♡ He's singing it so plain && simple ♡❤♡ ......omg!!! I ♡ THIS...🎉
Becoming a father made me love and appreciate this song with all my heart
I love this dude's voice!!! So soulful
For sure
Its manly!!! Its a manly voice... singing like a man...
Yes! 🥰
Mmmm, “baby, it’s been a long day baby.” Ray, ray, ray, your voice is dope. I thank you for this gem. Smiles to myself. Thanks 🙏
Been singing this song to my baby boy since he was in my belly. He is 2 1/2 months now and smiles huge when it’s time for our song🥲❤️
This song is soulful as hell! I love it!
🔥 🎶 🌞
Everything Ray does is soulful as hell. 😌
Absolutely
Hello beautiful
Yaaaasss! Amen!😊
2:18 "Both of us have known love before... to come on up promising like the spring-, to walk on out the door....... " 🎶🎶🎶
My wife and I danced to this for our wedding... 4 years and many more to come. We always come back a few times a year to listen together... Always will be the greatest love song......
Bless you both for many more years
Ray has a soothing yet groovìn voice-- just love him !!
This old soul. What a masterpiece
Damn, this dude is good!

This is more than just a song, it's a memory, a dajavu, a first kiss, a first love, a marriage, a reassurance. ❤ THIS is B.K.A OUR SONG😘🥰🥰🥰🥰
A few weeks ago, my dog that I grew up with passed. I will always remember his patient nature that earned him the name Best Dog Ever. You will be missed Oberon, you truly were the best thing that ever happened to me.
keep your head up my guy
this just made me cry so hard I'm so sorry. 🤍🤍🤍
named after the Beer from Bells?!

This song was definitely written out of passion, love and clarity... THIS SONG IS “THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME”! 🙌🏾♥️
You a cornball and lame just like this song
死ぬ時まで私はこの曲を持ち続けます。自分とばかり会話が増え続ける日々ですが、自分が歩んでる道は間違ってないと信じます。
そうでなきゃRayには会えませんでした。まだ頑張れます
This was mine and my wifes first dance at our wedding. We've been married 6 years now and she truly is the best thing that happened to me.
*My wife and I. No but seriously this is a great wedding song, hope you guys are doing well!
love that! keep it up
I've felt this way about a couple of people in my life before, but it never worked out. I still love this song so much ❤️
Ray Lamontagne showed up at the right time in my life many years ago, to this day he’s still got it like no other. I was hung up fr, like no other artist ever existed, Jolene being my favorite, but he could sing anything and I’d listen. What a beautiful soul this man has pure, raw, authentic, and vulnerable.

This is my wedding song! My wife is the absolute best thing to happen to me…well, equal to when we rescued our dog, Buddy.
The Lord is with you both Robert!
Best songs to listen and sing on a rainey day
Now tell me music doesn’t heal the soul
My soon to be wife (November 17, 2024) introduced me to Ray and she did not disappoint! Pure soul in his voice!
Best of luck. 3 days to go.
@ man it still hasn’t hit me yet and now it’s one day away thanks 🙏🏾
I was shopping for food and this song played. I thought this was from 1967 from some unknown soul singer. Thank god for Shazam. This song is great.
Hell yeah man. It does sound from the 1960s.
“And baby
The way you move me, it's crazy
It's like you see right through me
And make it easier
You please me, you don't even have to try”Ray set the bar!🤪😂His tunes raise my vibes, my spirits, soul and relationship goals!🙌🏼🌸
Baby
It's been a long day, baby
Things ain't been going my way
You know I need you here
To clear my mind
All the time
And baby
The way you move me, it's crazy
It's like you see right through me
And make it easier
You please me, you don't even have to try
Oh, because
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing)
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
Baby
We've come a long way, baby
You know, I hope and I pray that you believe me
When I say this love will never fade away
Oh, because
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing)
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
Both of us have known love before
To come on up promising like the spring
To walk on out the door
Hearts are strong, and our hearts are kind
Well, let me tell you just exactly what's on my mind
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing)
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing)
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(You're the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
You are the best thing
(Yeah, yeah)
You are the best thing
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You are the best thing
(Now, now, now, now, now)
That ever happened to me
Thank you so so much!!

I mean ray..don't know why I said joe😂
I love this guy's voice. The honesty, the vulnerability of it is reminiscent of 70s and 80s soul. Has a simply red, Van Morrison vibe. Loved him since I first saw the trouble commercial.

My daughter and I heard this on the citi bank commercial. We both were searching for a james Morrison song. We were both convinced it was James and not Ray. Made a fan out of us.
Ben Detta Haa. Me too, I bet it was him too!
I thought the same thing!
After 30+ years she is still the best thing that ever happened to me. I Love you Joanna...
