Dr John "There Must Be A Better World Somewhere"

[@user-kt7hq9hn9f]

where ever it is, I hope he found it. RIP Dr. John

[@slimeydon]

Any world with the good Doctor in it is automatically a better world. RIP Mack

[@MyzteriousLadyX]

Words fail me!! What a great song and he shows you how it goes...This is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard, What a truly great talent he was.

[@paulsilk7695]

So long Mac and thanks for everything you gave us.

[@greasemonkey1228]

Let's give credit to the genius who wrote the lyrics to this great song: Doc Pomus, the man Doctor John credits with getting him off dope. What a collaboration those two had!

[@ConservativeAnthem]

Shocking as it may be, Dr John was a lifelong heroin addict, according to his own autobiography. Makes you wonder how it affected his career.

[@ConservativeAnthem]

LOL....true dat

[@bobhibbert5299]

I think he might be referring to crack cocaine or heroin,..

[@felixgreenburg3373]

+greasemonkey1228 Never knew this. Yeah, it's pretty obvious he's spent a lot of time with drugs at some point in his life

[@kra147durham]

How did being a junkie affect Mac's career? Minimally. He never--ever!--missed a gig because he was high or jonesing. I never even heard of him being late for a show over dope.

[@sixstringgypsy1]

Not only does Dr. John make me feel good he makes me feel at all. Raise your hand if you feel like this song was made for you.

[@difreighterwatcher8603]

For my brother David, who's in that better world ❤

[@wallacesimpson6478]

This song is the most beautiful song I ever heard maybe in the hear after

[@johnoliva8230]

That right there folks is how the piano blues are done! RIP Mac you’re there now still slaying em !

[@djnoble1]

So long, Gris-Gris Man. We'll miss you. Thanks for the great music.

[@karldesforges277]

[@dominiquebois7024]

Dr, you've already made this place a better one with your music. Wherever you'll be now, you will shake'em !

[@drbekken]

This is THE greatest Dr John video I have ever seen. Absolutely magnificent.

[@bartreed2143]

I DIDN'T KNOW Doc had passed away . Thing about his music brings the memory of Mac back time and again.⚜️ Happy Memories.

[@barrowmeoct04]

Man, this is blues... that guy makes you feel it.... AMEN Dr John

[@HUGOGRUNER1]

Well Doc, your on the way to that better world somewhere now. We are better people having been blessed with your talent and presence in this world. Have a good trip home and we can still wonder whether there is a better world...somewhere. RIP old friend...

[@jiveturkeyjames]

Well said Ranger

[@planetboogster]

Now, I love B.B. King's version of this song but Dr. John's version right here is something else. Just wonderful. 👌

[@sandyrvable]

Rest Peacefully Dr. John ....your in that Better World ...Your Music Lives on !

[@widlineappolon3499]

There is no better place to Stay In Peace: In a Better World... Rest In Peace you will never be forgotten!!

[@donrobinson2452]

When I heard this afternoon that he was gone, I came straight to this video. Talk about making a song your own! What a noble and beautiful person Dr. John was. Sorry to see him go.

[@HUGOGRUNER1]

I came here as soon as I heard the news as well. A true National Treasure. RIP Doc.

[@AlexiLaihoFan]

This song hurts so much in such a good way

[@katjaernst5496]

This is really brilliant! I guess his voice never sounded better. I just love the Doctor!

[@PassTheMarmalade1957]

You know it's a good song (and a great artist,) when you really HEAR the lyrics. I mean, you absorb them, you really take them in, you get the meaning of the song. I always hear Dr. John like that.

[@johnnolan3179]

RIP Doc, and thank you for the music......and the lyrics here !!!

[@suchidog]

Right place....wrong time Dr. J.....you left a hole in my soul....thanks for your gifts.....rest in peace and eternal happiness....

[@Enzolabpit]

Dr. John may you rest in peace brother.

[@gymini29]

my favorite blues album is "Till the Night is Gone" a tribute to Doc Pomus. Irma Thomas sings this song. first time i got the cd i must have played this song 10 times in a row... Amen each time

[@ghostrider2664]

This is my life. He's singing my life. Right now. This is me. he's good.

[@lsunav]

Michael Riemiek- Hunt Amen Michael. The song title is something I have said since I was a teenager. Wonderful song.

[@brennenjinks5613]

So, three times?

[@nanimoserful]

YEAH THERES A BETTER WORLD OUT THERE , BUT , IT´S MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WE CAN AFFORD , AN UNPLEASANT TRUE!! oHHH THE MUSIC IS FANTASTIC !!!

[@bartreed2143]

Time is a reminder that nothing to good or nothing to bad last for to long...It had great if you'd had more good times you sure do know how to play that 🎹. God Love's God time...we will be seeing you again .

[@zthetha]

You are not alone my friend. These guys - the very best of the best - touch the depths of our being, bringing something sweet and healing from that 'otherness' way above mundane reality.

[@jeffholleyandcathy7938]

I love listening 2him ever sense I was a kid

[@katjaernst5496]

And some very fine piano playing too!!

[@thejourney04]

Rest in peace Dr. John

[@KeysToTheCastleMusic]

170K views. So many great artists that only get small recognition. Masters at their craft. Check out the chords to this song and the way Dr. John effortlessly plays it. Yet, some songs and artists have that 3 chord magic in pop songs. Let me be just half as good as this guy on the keys.

[@craigmccauley3972]

I miss you Doc,!

[@MaryGerdt]

Love ❤️ this 😎

[@tjcolatrella943]

RIP Mac I loved you man..

[@kennethgreene9681]

[@nath909]

You sound like an intelligent man. Whoever you are.

[@gregoryhouse3330]

nath909 Thank you very much. Yes, I think I am. Another great Blues hero of mine is Fess. You might know him better as Professor Longhair.

[@DuneAquaViva]

Gregory House Check out Earl Hines Greg "Spontaneous Generations" it's the bomb, best version of "Fatha's Blues" is on it, by the way love your work the acting of course but also your CD, I've posted it, The Vicksburg Blues is just great..! TJ

[@EdgarFaustino13]

Sometimes I wonder Just what am I fighting for? I win some battles But I always lose the war I keep right on stumblin' In this no-man's land out here But I know Mmmmm yes, I know There must be a better world somewhere Flying high Some joker clips my wings Just because he gets a kick Out of doing those kind of things I keep on fallin' in space Or just hangin' in mid-air But I know Ohh yes, I know There has just got to be a better world somewhere Every woman I want Only wants herself Everybody I love Seems to love somebody else And every woman Got a license to break my heart And every love affair is over Over before it gets a chance to start If it ain't dead Maybe in the here after Instead of tears I'll learn all about laughter But meanwhile I'm stuck out here It just ain't fair, But I know I said I know Oh yes, I know There must be a better world somewhere There's just gotta be Gotta be a better world somewhere

[@MrTribiker]

"Sometimes, I wonder just what I am fighting for I win some battles but I always lose the war I keep right on stumblin' in this no man's land out there But I know, yes, I know that there must be a better world somewhere Flying high, some joker clips my wings Just 'cause he gets his kicks and he's doing those kind of things Keep on fallin' into space, either hangin' in mid-air But I know, yes, I know that there must be a better world somewhere Every woman I want only wants herself Everybody I love, loves somebody else Yeah, every woman got a license to break my heart And every love affair is over, before it gets a chance to start If it ain't here, maybe in the year after Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter Meanwhile, I'm stuck out here, Lord knows it just ain't fair But I know, yes, I know that there must be a better world somewhere Every woman I want only wants herself Everybody I love, loves somebody else Every woman I know got a license to break my heart And every love affair is over before it gets a chance to start If it ain't here, maybe in the year after Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter Meanwhile, I'm stuck out here, Lord knows it just ain't fair But I know, yes, I know, hey, I know That there must be a better world, there sure gotta be a better world Lord, now there must be a better world somewhere Songwriters: Timothy J Johnson / Shane Minor

[@cammalcolm]

Eric Clapton has collaborated with Dr John on a few songs before and has said he is a huge fan of his and is in awe of his performances. So don't give Clapton a hard time.....if anything its God calling Dr John, God....they are both Gods in my opinion

Where, when, and what performance is this. Some of my favorite stuff he does is minimalist- Just Dr. John, a piano, and a microphone. Thanks for posting.
