Meg White Lyrics
meg white, you're alright
in fact i think you're pretty swell
can't you tell
meg white, such a pretty thing
i saw your face on the cover of a magazine
someday i'd like to take a walk with you
maybe ride our bikes down by the seaside
meg white, saw you on the big screen
oh jack was keen, but you stole the scene
meg white, baby you're the bomb
oh jack is great, don't get me wrong
but this is your song
someday i'd like to take a walk with you
talk about most anything you'd like to talk about
and watch the sun going down, going down
playing those drums is hard to do, it's true
and nobody plays them quite like you do
meg white, you're alright
in fact i think you're pretty swell
can't you tell
meg white, such a pretty thing
i saw your face on the cover of a magazine
someday i'd like to take a walk with you
maybe ride our bikes down by the seaside
and watch the sun going down, going down, going down.
in fact i think you're pretty swell
can't you tell
i saw your face on the cover of a magazine
maybe ride our bikes down by the seaside
oh jack was keen, but you stole the scene
oh jack is great, don't get me wrong
but this is your song
talk about most anything you'd like to talk about
and watch the sun going down, going down
and nobody plays them quite like you do
in fact i think you're pretty swell
can't you tell
i saw your face on the cover of a magazine
maybe ride our bikes down by the seaside
and watch the sun going down, going down, going down.

Is there a backstory to this song? Cuz it seems like Ray has a bit of an affliction and the only medicine is a bit of Meg White lovin'.
I can't believe how much more powerful the music is in Ray's new album. It's kept it's romantic feel, but it's certainly a new direction for him.
Yeah I think this one is pretty obvious. Meg White. It's all right there in the title.
I totally agree about the power of Gossip in the Grain. It's like his voice got more...soul in it because it's pretty amazing. And it is, in fact, about Meg White, the singer from the White Stripes. I don't know if there's anything going on between them.
we all have our crushes. i guess RL likes 'em "white". it could be weirder. to correct above statement, meg is not the singer but the drummer of the stripes. hence the lines:

If you wikipedia 'Meg White', it says "Ray Lamontagne wrote a song for her, which is featured on his recently released third album, Gossip in the Grain. He wrote it for her because he has been attracted to her for a long time."
It's Wiki though so you can't really trust it but that may be why.
What is it with Meg White. First Ryan Adams, now Ray LaMontagne? I don't get it.
Hint: Rhymes with N00bz.

I love meg white! I totally get it. She kicks ass.
i wonder what ray's wife thinks about this song? i can't imagine he wrote it seriously....
This is the silliest song on the album, sorry to say, it sounds like some Meg White groupy wrote the song in hopes of courting her "you're the bomb" I never expect Ray to write that.
It is not about romantic feelings for Meg White. Meg White seriously struggles with being shy just like Ray Lam does. He respects her as a musician, all while he may think she is attractive. Ray Lamontagne loves Meg Whites talent and music. I believe he found someone who may be the equivalent of a shy, reclusive person as he is and is showing his reverence.
Meg is a Damsel in Distress, and Ray is idiosincratic enough to take on the role of her Knight in Shiny Armour* who doesn't give a flying rat's ass what everybody else thinks, he's gonna write this song for her and record it and put it in an album because, damn**!
*(He's been growing the beard and all.) **(Also because, boobs! - consideration by me, not Ray Lamontagne.)
