Ray Lamontagne Duet

borneoman · 01-11-2009, 12:45 PM

Has anyone heard this song before?? It's a duet between Ray Lamontagne and some US female singer named Rachael Yamagata and it's called DUET. I heard it the other day during Brothers & Sisters

and loved immediately!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTrrNuco38o

Cannot find any info about the song. Anyone?

By the way, don't miss B&S tonite cos they're playing Lisa's Pistachio!!!

heffaface · 01-11-2009, 01:04 PM

that duet song is amazing!! wow...

Cerque · 01-11-2009, 01:50 PM

That was beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Roberta · 01-11-2009, 03:10 PM

this is amazing, thank you soooo much for sharing!!!

I love both their voices.
This song seems to belong to a movie soundtrack or am I wrong?
Anyone knows something about it?

Rai · 01-11-2009, 03:59 PM

From my research it seems that it is from the Rachel Yamagata album Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart. Its not from a movie soundtrack, I think the youtube uploader just made a fan-soundtrack of a coming film.

It is from her album Marti. You can get it on itunes, its been there since around September i think : http://www.rachaelyamagata.com/music

I saw Rachel Yamagata open for Ryan Adams some years back. I have her album, but I can't think of the name at the moment. She's good. And that was a beautiful duet.

eva_arg · 01-11-2009, 09:37 PM

I love the song. thanks for the link!

Mark Hogan · 01-12-2009, 11:47 AM

Love it too.

dboyd · 01-12-2009, 09:36 PM

<333! thanks for sharing that, i haven't heard that one before!

I've always loved Rachael Yamagata's voice since i heard "Collide" and "Reason Why" like, 5 years ago or something... Anyways, she sounded really good with Ray! <33

(If you clicked the links above and listened to them, here's the album version of "Reason Why" with lyrics... It's practically identical to her live performance i linked... I absolutely love that live performance though, i'll be making the duet one and the live rason why mp3's soon

)

borneoman · 01-13-2009, 07:09 AM

so who wrote the song? Ray, Rachel or both?

thanks

cille · 01-13-2009, 11:04 AM

If you liked Rachel's first album, you'll love her new album - one of the best albums of 2008 for sure, especially the elephants part.

taylorbabe3 · 01-13-2009, 07:47 PM

Hey I went to a Ray Lamontagne concert in Boulder, CO and it changed my life!!! thanks for the song info i love it.

dboyd · 01-14-2009, 11:11 PM

So, here's the mp3 of the live performance of "Reason Why" if anyone wants it... Duets you can find on her album "Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart", so i won't be making that into an mp3 :P

Rachael Yamagata - Reason Why (Live)

I've been addicted to Reason Why for a long time, and i just love that live performance

anywho! Cheers! <3

dboyd, thank you soooooooo much for the mp3! I listened to that song for the first time and I love it!!
I like her voice very much...I'm going to look for other songs of hers, would someone give me some suggestions?

Anything from 'Elephants...', really (the first part of her double album) - such a beautiful album. Her deep soothing voice really comes to life on that album.

borneoman · 01-15-2009, 12:15 PM

Thanks David, Reason Why sounds amazing!!!!

I was just checking her myspace myself:
http://www.myspace.com/rachaelyamagata

lots of interesting stuff about her... and you can order the album in there, and you get a free signed litograph (think I will)

cille · 01-15-2009, 12:17 PM

^yeah I think I got that one...Litograph sounds so fancy, basically it's a signed picture, but it's a nice item to have for us material girls/boys..

mariaoran · 01-15-2009, 09:49 PM

I got her second album a while ago and i really like it. Is her first one worth buying? better than the second one?

cille · 01-16-2009, 07:56 AM

I wouldn't say so, no.. To me it sounds a bit like Fiona Apple Light. Not bad, but definately not my fave of hers.

Joyful · 01-16-2009, 12:27 PM

^^ I don't have her second one, only the first. It's good and listenable. But no, I would not run out and buy it. I agree with Cille's Finona Apple light comment(with less angst).

cille · 01-16-2009, 12:28 PM

She gets more angsty, yet less Fion'ish on the new one, believe it or not..

Joyful · 01-16-2009, 02:06 PM

^ cool, I will check it out.

borneoman · 01-18-2009, 04:21 PM

while looking for something completely different at a Tori Amos forum, found this entry from 2004 about Rachael Yamagata:

"somehow shes different for me. i think her voice is what captivates me the most. her lyrics are right up my alley and her presence on stage just blows me away. shes opened for damien rice, gomez and is currently on tour with liz phair. theres only a six song EP available, but a full length album is due sometime in april. i defintely recommend seeing her live. definitely."

so according to this person she did open for Damien back in the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joyful · 01-19-2009, 12:34 AM

^Interesting. She did open for Ryan Adams too.

dboyd · 01-19-2009, 09:02 AM

ever since u posted this i've decided to finally dig into her some more, and i can now say i am truly a fan of hers! :P i absolutely love her voice and everything about her... i've always liked her, but never really did any digging and exploring.

<333

Yup. I like your enthusiasm

Actually I think I heard about her here, because someone here heard her open for Damien way back. So there.

borneoman · 01-20-2009, 09:15 AM

I did order the album, but I already downloaded it for the waiting

and love it love it love it. What an amazing album! Duet, Elephants, Over and Over... all amazing... still not into the last (rockier) songs of the album, prefer the slow ones...

so album 1 is more like the last bit of album 2??

dboyd · 01-20-2009, 10:06 AM

elephants is definitely amazing... i also am really loving "be be your love"! i love it all

<33

borneoman · 01-29-2009, 07:09 AM

Rachael is doing some gigs in Europe next month. Got tix to see her in London (Feb 23)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cannot wait yay!!!!!!!!
