Ray LaMontagne just touched me in my special area

Everyone's favorite backwoodsman, Ray LaMontagne has returned with a HIGHLY-anticipated new album of material, titled Gossip in the Grain, being released on October 14, 2008 on RCA Records. Here is the second song to be previewed off of the album, titled "Let It Be Me", and, yes, once again, the bearded one has touched me in my 'special area', my cardiac area.

---------------------------------------------------

There comes a time, a time in everyone's life

Where nothin' seems to go your way

Where nothing seems to turn out right

There may come a time, you just can't seem to find your place

For every door you walk open, seems like you get two slammed in your face.

That's when you need someone, someone that you can call.

And when all your faith is gone

Feels like you can't go on

Let it be me

Let it be me

If it's a friend that you need

Let it be me

Let it be me

Feels like your always comin' up last

Pockets full of nothin', ain't got no cash

No matter where you turn you ain't got no place to stand

Reach out for something and they slap your hand

I remember all too well

Just how it feels to be all alone

You feel like you'd give anything

For just a little place you can call your own

That's when you need someone, someone that you can call

And when all your faith is gone

Feels like you can't go on

Let it be me

Let it be me

If it's a friend you need

Let it be me

Let it be me.
