Ray Lamontagne – Be Here Now
In case I haven’t posted this track before, I am today. Be Here Now is one of the greats. EVEN more wonderful about songs like these is that even when you listen to them over and over you find and hear something completely new which you’ve never heard before. My dad (shout-out!) had to point out these incredibly downplayed snippets found in the choruses, but he’s spot on and even found the confirmation from Ray himself..
“We went through a couple days of just layering all these weird speeches on top of each other, everything from like World War II bomber pilots’ radio communications before being hit, or before hitting someone else-to extremes like Hitler, Gandhi and people like Martin Luther King,” LaMontage says. “There were certain phrases that were so poignant in the King speech. We thought those little moments of clarity where it comes out of the dissonance before it goes back into distraction were so important.”
.. I freakin love music.
