Pick Up a Gun by Ray LaMontagne

This psychedelic acoustic heartbreak waltz has four key changes. "The melody just kept shifting," LaMontagne explained to Rolling Stone. "I hope it stirs something up."
The song is from LaMontagne's Supernova album, which finds him connecting with producer Dan Auerbach and taking more of a psychedelic spin. "There was a playfulness to the songs, they were just really fun to write," he said. "That's different for me."
