This dude is so legit live, he's the embodiment of a rock star. His presence on stage is almost intimidating, but his music is disarming and he's a genuine, cool guy. He's also one of the best guitar players I've ever seen live. He reminds me of BB King, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Jimi Hendrix all rolled into one.
I so agree!! I saw him 7-8 years ago and he was up on stage with his guitar wearing this large black hat that covered his face in shadow for most of the performance. He looked so mysterious and almost eerie. That coupled with the deeply soulful music - definite rockstar material.
This song so deeply speaks to my soul. My brother chose to take his life 9 months ago, and it still feels like barely any time has passed. He was my soul friend who understood me like no one on this planet ever did, and he was the kindest, most giving person I've ever known - he just suffered from his own self pain or demons as they say. I love you Jesse and I miss you every day.. I know you're at peace too 🪽
Exactly @jcwoodward!!! That's exactly what happened to me. This is the first version of it I heard and after listening to a few others this is my favorite
Agreed... he's so open about his struggles and failures and it translates directly to the music. When I first heard this song it broke me down, made me well up w tears "🎶 that I just can't shake 🎶"
Goosebumps. Ah, I remember that time I was fortunate enough to be 'around a fire' (if you will) after a festival set - and Eric Clapton and John Legend were both speaking about this man with such eloquence and honor.... which blew my own mind. He deserved it before any of that though. Let's give him the respect he deserves. Thanks GLC
Greatest musician of our generation. On Pandora✨💫💎 Edit: He’s on Pandora where I’ve subbed to his station and only ever heard him until now when I’ve subbed to his RUclips channel. He IS the greatest musician of our generation tho✨💫💎
Oh wow. I relate to this so much. Thank you Gary for putting words to the way many of us feel. Things seem dark but I know there is hope..He has a name. Jesus. He has always filled me. It makes time like what Gary is describing bearable.
If y'all want to see another side of Gary really rockin' out, I recommend you check out his Stevie Wonder tribute performance with Beyonce and Ed Sheeran. He's just phenomenal!
(looks left, looks right) he's singing about sitting at the VA right? Just some thoughts a Veteran would be having while waiting to schedule an appointment for any health care... with a month or two long wait list.
That didn't hit home... Thank you #JonStewart and the #DailyShow for having Gary Clark Jr. on the show, and sharing his beautiful artistry ❤ He is one of the reasons I refuse to support streaming platforms, as they do little to support the artists. I am now going to get some kleenex... Which will be followed by buying at least one of his albums.
If his song is true about himself, it's such a pity. He's so young and has a whole life yet to live, and life goes on much longer than you know when you're young. He has time to cure himself and stop mourning his innocence. All humans come to that conclusion sooner or later, and it shouldn't come so early in life. You have the whole world to explore. Just do it and don't dwell so much on the present.
@@trappedkitty5335probably. Because objectively, this was very unique playing, deep lyrics and a lovely voice. Don’t know if I’d listen to an album if it though. But RESPECT for sure
If I was a rich white woman sitting in my 3,000 sqft. brownstone, sippin' some $300 wine, this would be divine! I'm not that, so this blows. Like a smooth John Mayer. Never heard this guy before, and based on this, probably never will again. Not got enough heart to ground my animus.
One man. One guitar. Absolute brilliance. My emotions spill over the cup of my life.
Been listening to this man for years. About time he gets the recognition he deserves.
Jon knows.
Gary Clark Jr. is one of the best contemporary songwriters and guitarists.

May his soul rest in peace ❤
Peace and Love to you and your dear brother
You know those songs that just make you cry immediately? Even the 2nd time I listened to it
Beautiful
Exactly @jcwoodward!!! That's exactly what happened to me. This is the first version of it I heard and after listening to a few others this is my favorite
AMEN
He has a great blues rock timbre to his voice.
This cat has got PIPES. So much emotion.. Fantastic 👍
He’s a man not a feline
Dolphin dive high five
Great guitar player too. He’s been invited to play at Eric Clapton‘s Crossroads Guitar Festival a couple times.
@@m0j0lukac Thanks for shouting out Gary's appearances at the Crossroads festivals, that's where I first heard of this amazing musician!
@@TheScottish-cj4yi a cool cat
I love that you can watch him perform thr same song on the different talk shows and no 2 performances are the same...
He deserves so much more in this world.
Thank you John and The Daily Show production team/cast for showcasing GCJ.
my favorite song on the new album. what a great collection of songs it is, and I hope to catch him on the road.
So powerful with just voice and guitar. What a beautiful soul!
Speaking his truth! We hear you and we feel you!
We all need some help 🙏🏾
Well said @mar11mar11 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Everyone should be able to relate as we all need help 🙏🏽 in this crazy world
Gary Clark Jr writes and sings such profoundly beautiful confessional songs -- like his earlier song "Church" -- this song soulfully resonates.
Agreed... he's so open about his struggles and failures and it translates directly to the music. When I first heard this song it broke me down, made me well up w tears "🎶 that I just can't shake 🎶"
Fantastic performance. I just wish he would have been able to play the full 9 minute version. The 2nd half is my favorite part!
I've been listening to him since I first heard him on the then Nexflix Luke Cage soundtrack. Very talented
That's where I discovered him too. They had him appear in one episode and I was like "Who the heck is that! I need more."
Goosebumps. Ah, I remember that time I was fortunate enough to be 'around a fire' (if you will) after a festival set - and Eric Clapton and John Legend were both speaking about this man with such eloquence and honor.... which blew my own mind.

AMAZING!!!!!!!! So proud I was blessed to hear you from the beginning at JGB in ATX!
That is such a great song with him and just his guitar. Priceless
Beautiful. I had not heard of him before, now I must hear more.
Thank you, Jon
💜 Gary Clark, Jr.
Where has this guy been all of my life ❤
He is brilliant… I have followed him for many years!! Thank you Linda and Gary. 💕
Not enough musicians have the courage to play with so few bells and whistles. Respect
true, and spesh not with lyrics that open
I absolutely adore his sound. Beautiful. Thank you.
Lovely and vulnerable. A true artist. Well done!!!
Love Gary Clark, Jr.
❤❤
I hope this video goes viral
This made me cry. So beautiful ❤
Such a talent 🔥
Wow, this song is beautiful, I must look him up and listen more!
Wish TDS would have let that ending simmer a bit before suddenly killing the moment with their RUclips bumper. Wonderful song!
Gary Clark Jr. is amazing. I was floored the first time I saw him.
Man this song hits me hard. It makes me really reflect.
What a beautiful voice.
That was really beautiful ❤ What a great artist.
Wow. What a beautiful voice and he plays like a dream 😍
♥️ *I am in awe.* ♥️
love it
I love you
check out Gary's previous album "This Land".
Slapped
Check out his new album too
No.
@@TeabonesteakStay in your basement.
@@smd2169 Lol he’s a 🤡in his moms basement 😂
That subtle off beat groove. Masterful.
Amazing
Thank you! I just ordered the CD.
We can still get CDs?
@@jasonbrownjourno LOL, yes, and rip them to FLAC, put them on a network drive and enjoy the best sound possible. As long as you know how.
His dad is great too! Sings Mary's Prayer in a band
Saw him play at last year‘s Love Rocks NYC. He was incredible.
Badass... Hits All the 🎶🎶
Greatest musician of our generation. On Pandora✨💫💎

I never heard of this guy and I like his style.
GCJ. Love.
What a performance. His voice is incredible
Chills. Literal chills.
Nothing is in life is not for sure. What's for sure, live u may, die u must. A song with meaning 😂.
Beautiful 🔥 🔥
Awesome news blues fans! Ever since he was a guest on JRE, the blues artists shot up 500% in views!
Oh wow. I relate to this so much. Thank you Gary for putting words to the way many of us feel. Things seem dark but I know there is hope..He has a name. Jesus. He has always filled me. It makes time like what Gary is describing bearable.
Amazing album 🙌🙌🙌
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Phenomenal ❤🤘🎸
I love the acoustic version on jre! This one is cool but something about the acoustic hits hard.
Saw this live in Hyde park and it was phenomenal
How can I have so much in common with him? His words struck so close.
Cuz y’all the same species. Both human beings no?
We all do. We all share these pains and struggles as humans.
We all lose someone, through our own faults or no faults at all, we still lose.
People, places, time, things. And yeah, they sure did.
Can’t wait to see Gary Clark Jr. at Radio City Music Hall on June 11
Thanks Gary. You Gave Another Song To Add To My Sobriety Playlist ❤
NO AUTOTUNE!!! It’s very important.
Love this man! Checkout “when my train pulls in”!
If y'all want to see another side of Gary really rockin' out, I recommend you check out his Stevie Wonder tribute performance with Beyonce and Ed Sheeran. He's just phenomenal!

Chills
I felt like he wrapped me in music by weaving his guitar and lyric into a shawl of emotion
🔥🔥🔥
❤ mane This song is about my Life right now.
Dude oozes talent from his pores. Amazing.
❤❤
Austin's Pride❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice performance. I can see why he’s a Jon Stewart fav.
Thank you
Wow
So amazong to see
Well, you got one more subscriber, Ga'ry. You write the same as I.
What a boss.
That didn't hit home...

mans gotta hit. congratulations
The guitar sound reminds me of John Mayer.
Probably all that spring reverb
I felt that to.
Geeeeez
Singing style reminds me of Terence Trent D'Arby.
Wow, that's a ways back
very nice 👍
You’re gone and I gotta stay high

JRE brought me here
I honestly like this version better than the studio version.
❤️❤️🔥🔥🇳🇦🇳🇦
What a waste of a monday/show... love Gary
👍
Gary's great, but this piece wasn't one to really show off his guitar playing chops.
Kinda feels like shallow from Gaga
My EM-Song is the best song on RUclips
AOC: “I like this song but it is kinda religious.”
Me: “No its not.”
AOC: “Then why is he singing about a nun’s outfit?”
😅😅😅😅
Oh looks it’s another James bay wannabe 😂😂
Meh..
He isn't my cup of tea either, but that may be because I was listening to Black Pumas today.
