The listener is drawn in, mesmerized by lyrics that touch upon shared human experience. The element which makes Ray Fortune stand out amongst musicians is truly the emotional participation he creates for his listeners. His song writing focuses on the Universal themes of love and loss, evoking examination of what was, what heartbreakingly is, and what may yet still be. He sings of yearning, pleading, remembering, and wishing; hauntingly accompanied by a clear, soft, melodic, acoustic guitar.
