Every Man Should Own This Album

Cause this my male friends, is what the ladies want to hear.

Okay, this is what I want to hear...but that's a different story. Run, quick like bunnies. Go buy the album Trouble by Ray LaMontagne. An old friend turned me on to him probably about a year ago, but only now have I begun listening to more of his music. He's soulful, the lyrics are charming--and all in all, this is a perfect blend of yummy singer/songwriter perfection. I'm totally hooked. This is like The N.A.T's perfect music. Whiny, sappy, and mellow. Doesn't get any better.



In case you need the words, here ya go. The song's called Hold You In My Arms.

When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears

It was easy to see that you'd been crying

Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns

But who really profits from the dying

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you forever

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you in my arms forever

When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions

It's my worried mind that you quiet

Place your hands on my face

Close my eyes and say

Love is a poor man's food

Don't prophesize

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you forever

And I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you forever

So now we see how it is

This fist begets the spear

Weapons of war

Symptoms of madness

Don't let your eyes refuse to see

Don't let your ears refuse to hear

Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold on forever

And I could hold you in my arms

I could hold forever
