[Lyrics]
Woke up in New York City
Lying on the floor
Just outside of Marcy's - West 54 "wow"
You gonna know my name by the end of the night "well"
You gonna know my name by the end of the night "well"
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don't care no, no
You don't care
Start up with the bottle
End it up with the bottle
Taking shots, waiting on tomorrow
Trying to fill up, what's hollow
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don't care no, no
Cause you don't care
Get lost in this city trying to find myself
I woke up with different versions
Came down somebody else
I know it ain´t right
But its song in my head
Wow I'm surprised
I'm still alive I should breathe in
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don't care no, no
You don't care
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name by the end of the night, well...

[@hannahbleuharrington4986]

This is the kind of music you just get lost in. This man is like this generation's Jimi Hendrix ❤

[@nicholasnevola4811]

This guy is severely underrated. So much talent and skill into this craft.

[@tologueca]

+Nicholas Nevola Underrated?! Mick Jagger called him the saviour of the blues 10 years ago.

[@jamesraymondsmith]

+Tolo Gueca underrated in the united states, my man

[@annmeckes2208]

He really is talented!! How do we get him noticed?

[@realjackbronco]

+Nicholas Nevola agree this fella is amazing!

[@katherinedearman29]

I totally agree 😋

[@rotiwokeman]

Brought my damn self here.

[@basvenem]

goddamn

[@RaVenDaWn999]

I came by taxi grab. Here come the cops, gotta blast...

[@trackerbuckmann1627]

Bradley Stone Well done, sir. Me too.

[@konarkonar3821]

Caspar Friedrich, huum, it does confirm a theory tho, dogs still out here I see. NICE SHIT.

[@mikehawk8276]

Bradley Stone lmao for reals

[@LukeVidler]

This song gets in your blood, i've been coming back to it for a few years now.

[@reneejones5915]

Same here

[@RenegadeZach]

This guy live is so special. There hasn't been anyone in a long time that can play blues rock n roll with this kind of flare :)

[@108hanlon]

for real man. I have been to dozens and dozens of great shows and seen legends and no one fills the room with more electric energy as this man does. He truly is an artist who needs to be seen to be believed...even watching his live performances on TV or here on youtube doesn't even come close to the energy felt watching him live in-person

[@JamintheVan]

We agree! His set with JITV is epic. Check it out!

[@troymay57]

RenegadeZach seen him in Seattle best concert hands down n i seen a lot

[@eloyhurtadocoroccotta.1358]

RenegadeZach cojonudo

[@korbynpile1577]

Gary Clark is that guy! Check out Joe Bonamassa as well same passion.

[@debrascott4442]

It's 2022 and I still love this song. I had a chance to see him live in Austin at SxSW. He rocks

[@maureenochse1286]

He is fantastic and looking forward to seeing him in September 2022 NJ

[@sweetbeffer]

Just saw him at red rocks. It was magical

[@jensenniemaier2327]

See him in Munich 2022

[@deadchanneldontwatch7347]

"I'd been sitting at the bar for three hours, or five years depending on how you looked at things, I tried not to look at things. I tried not to think about when it was that my existence became less about the things that make up people's lives, and more about the holes that losing those things leave behind... but I wasn't doing a very good job at it."

[@bellavia5]

I'm gonna be thinking about this next time I'm sitting at a bar.

[@sharronb-r6956]

Thanks for making me laugh! Sweet! 💋

[@Rheinmeister09]

If ever a guy was born to have a guitar in his hands it's Gary Clark Jr. Would love to see him live...must be amazing!!!

[@RocksteadyRuth]

Rheinmeister09 Stanley is top dog live. Lucky to see him support the Stones in Hyde Park (2014) and then he joined them on stage for a few numbers. Just go see him. 🤘

[@sharonpeppers3341]

You had better never desert #Texas. #GaryClarkJr, You belong to us. We need talent like yours here 😊👍🎸🥁🪘🎻🎹🎷🎺🎵🙋

[@jaynic6249]

Masterpiece that hits the soul like no other, you just can’t not appreciate it 👌

[@jodie3278]

Lol. I just woke to my very young Grandson playing this. Someone has got to teach these kids what good music is! I'm so happy he understood.

[@mykobe981]

Your grandson has a bright future. 😉

[@jamesryder5761]

Austin, Texas will forever be the birthplace of one of the most talented musicians/artists. Upsets me how people don't appreciate that old rock/soul/blues style of music anymore.

[@YanJeferson]

Can I recommend some please? I va t even find than anymore

[@adammac.1342]

@@YanJeferson of course! Go for it!

[@sammyt315]

This man is is the whole package but the guitar he is an absolute amazing and at this time. The best. His songs all have depth. Watched an interview he did he’s absolutely amazing. The guitarist to beat and it isn’t even close is Gary Clarke Jr. PERIOD

[@daveghizoni4141]

Saw him in Mpls couple yrs ago UNBELIEVABLE...AWESOME!!!

[@barrymcclaughry9229]

Rockin blues

[@sharonpeppers3341]

We are determined to never lose you to the bright lights of the city #GaryClarkJr. You are our guitar man. We adore you and that exceptional guitar skill you possess 😀👍🎸🥁🎷🎺💜💙💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇱

[@Alyssak17]

This is the first song I ever heard from Gary Clark. Now I'm hooked and can't wait to see him in concert!

[@pseelo]

I know this is dumb, but this music makes me want to blast it out loud af from really good quality portable speakers while walking / cycling in town, 80s style... Just to share it.

[@cristinaherrera5321]

It makes me want to dance naked under a full moon with a bonfire.

[@tadejstanta8710]

this is far from dumb,...it's the idea that hopefully would make people think what kind of crap the majority of the world is listening to these days and forgetting that masterpieces like this exist

[@pamsweatman9564]

I’m 65 and absolutely blast it out..quite often 😄

[@sharonpeppers3341]

#GaryClarkJr Still killing it on his guitar 🎸. Talk to me brother. Your skill on that instrument is off the chain. Damn, you play that thang so beautifully. Make me wanna dance 😀🙋🎸🎺🎷🎹🎻🥁🪘🇨🇱🇺🇸

[@MrTJRadio]

Gary Clark Jr. 2016! Make blues great again..

[@Regimeshifts]

Hahahaha

[@stephenblessed92]

What's so funny?

[@blakel2174]

What's so funny?

[@ashuman7140]

+Regimeshifts wtf is so funny ?

[@Regimeshifts]

+Thato Sibeko Seriously you guys don't get the obvious reference?

[@dcochran317]

I logged on just to leave a comment. I love this tune, from the guitar tone to his voice. It just jams all around. This is proof that GREAT music is still alive. This is by far my favorite tune in a while.

[@magpiehitman]

Riots.... Worldwide pandemic.... Thank you Gary Clark Jr so I can just sit and chill and enjoy life.

[@samedwards3285]

I GODDAMN KNEW IT, THIS WAS THE BAR SONG!

[@damianamorales1951]

Really enjoyed this song/music....a wonderful change from same'ole...rap...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rickroche8860]

We jammed on this kind of groove for days, back in the 70's. Timeless!

[@thedancingwolf230]

I wen't to his concert a few days ago... jeesus christ, those who havent seen this guy play are truely missing out! Came out of the concert half deaf but it was worth it just to hear this music! Literaly hendrix reborn!

[@steveben-ari8262]

This is how you do Music!

[@susanlloyd8858]

Yeah

[@3lbtrigger]

Yep, I'm gonna know your name by the end of the night. One of those songs you just sit there after creating it, with a slight smile on your face, and telling yourself that's the jam right there.

[@3lbtrigger]

At least that's what I'd do

[@michellehenson8686]

love it

[@fl6stringer]

.... I search constantly for new and refreshing talent and I'm only just discovering this guy?!? HOWWWWW???!!!!!????

[@helenishmedia4490]

Literally discovered Gary when he supported Dave Matthews Band in Melbourne a few years ago (5?). Never seen or heard of him, but he opened his mouth and absolutely blitzed the performance. Went out and got his album the same week. A huge talent. HEY you gonna know my name by the end of the night... 😉🔥

[@bored000matt]

"Gonna know my name by the end of the night"... fitting seeing as I did after seeing him open for Clapton at Royal Albert Hall... Simply Fantastic, found more good music that night.

[@MrTonheemskerk]

Guess what. What about Clapton is opening for this great guy!!

[@seannanana84]

A few years ago I saw this man open for the Foo Fighters and was blown away. I felt like I was watching a legend in the making. The talent is immeasurable. I hope one day to see him in concert again and I am bringing every person I can with me

[@wolfganggutmann3421]

hope you have the luck. i hope too. regards

[@chadcooper1588]

He is my new fav guitarist. Has his own style and its great. Cant wait to see what he developes into.

[@stephenpugh2307]

Great tune love it.have you heard Toby lee 's version also class

[@ramongonzalez7458]

Great, awesome yeaaaa

[@Josephfrom1990]

"You gonna know my name" I always hear hunger and drive when I listen to this guy. His music is so powerful. A real throwback to the oldschool Memphis blues.

[@iliketea3]

just saw him open for foo fighters in ATL, he is fantastic! old school music like Allman Bros, etc. no lip sync or pre programmed crap, pure rock and blues. looking forward to seeing again.

[@joryaock]

Neal Dameron way better than almand bros

[@BigBADArt89]

Firing up the 67 camaro and listening to this tune gave me the chills

[@SikMisfits]

Arturo Barrios The song just made you think you had a 67 Camaro...that's a honda bro....lol

[@BigBADArt89]

hahaha

[@ATLienXenu]

+SikMisfits HAHAHA

[@chrisohandley6471]

[@lukevaughan7706]

THE Chills !

[@TheBendixSA]

listening to this song LITERALLY makes you cooler....objectively!

[@Limvolikce]

Watched him first time in Norway when he was on stage before Guns n Roses. Amazing! Since then i can not stop to listen to his songs...

[@Nomanners2100]

Holy crap, that last minute. Sounds like a cross between All along the Watchtower and Stairway to Heaven. Wow... Just wow.

[@OfoeNelson]

One of the few artists out there who sound even better LIVE

[@bre1980]

DELVIN CHOICE PERFORMANCE on THE VOICE BROUGHT ME HERE.

[@conspiracyqueen9557]

Music so good, even commercials want it! I discovered this song watching a Macy's commercial. Glad it isn't just a catchy jingle. This song ROCKS! Thumbs up!

[@detroitMC313]

There's also a live version on Spotify.

[@raymetcalf3928]

Cool ----very cool! Good to see that there is music with soul and grooove!!

[@MrSensible2]

Always impressed when someone can play live to this level of quality. Big respect from the UK!

[@Sierra4690]

I'd been sitting at the bar for three hours, or about five years, depending on how you looked at things. I tried not to look at things. I tried not to think about when it was that my existence became less about the things that make up people's lives and more about the holes that losing those things leave behind, but I wasn't doing a very good job at it.

[@roccscott]

Wow !!!! .... 🤯 Gary Clark is My New favorite Artist , TRUE AMERICAN ROCK and ROLL man ! It absolutely goes without saying that this guy is a LEGEND in the making and will be up their with the ROCK GODS like Jimmy Hendrix and Carlos Santana ! 💪💯💥

[@mztmorse]

[@angelinadelcarmen]

I can't stop listening to him! The underground rock/blues world is a hard one to work your way up! And it's so wonderful to see such great talent finally getting the career he's been working for so long! I'm from NYC and I know so many talented artists who just need a shot!

[@soskid]

Dang!! Best song I've heard in a loong time!

[@renatocarlos7423]

Gary is so pure, raw musician. Sooooooo good!

[@saramccall179]

Rare! These guys are too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/borLnYSMe9-pnZo

[@BrutusMaximusAurelius]

Never though a Harman Kardon commercial could lead me to this gem. This guy is amazing!

[@blueberrymcphuckerson9821]

Dude sounds like the singer from The Black Keys. Awesome to find another musician with similar style!

[@fenderstratguy]

Relatively new as a fan, but he is what Ive been (looking/waiting/hoping) for, Ill tell you that much!

[@Zeyes1951]

And it's so wonderful how each guitar player puts his own deep soul into his guitar and delivers such a personal and different and great sound.

[@mazingaball]

This one is always in my playlist.............such energy!

[@dougl.6461]

Baddest man on the planet!

[@sahilkashyap3142]

[@berryindahouse]

What a masterpiece. I am so impressed... WOW!

[@samcantu8901]

So much talent!

[@jackieconnolly3108]

This is first time I heard this track and its beyond belief how great this guy is and I have never heard of him:( I am lucky someone recommended him to me. Some artists dont get the recognition they deserve.

[@RossellaLolli]

Good morning my dear friend♥ wishing you a happy day ♥

[@jackieconnolly3108]

Wishing you a wonderful day and brilliant song :-)

[@vieuxyoutuber]

Enfin de la vraie musique ! That's real music, at last !

[@brandonmartin5667]

AND IT’S FOR THE GREATEST DEVOTION I WILL SPARE NONE OF ME AND GAIN EVERYTHING BACK IN THE GIVING SELFLESSLY

[@edwardprete]

I never heard of Gary Clark Jr before this recent Clapton "tour", but this guy is invigorating, such groove. His tone and sound is just awesome.

[@tanyagupta3034]

is it called "badass" genre? Intro is fucking awesome:D

[@HolyFosterConner]

Lovin' that snare drum

[@jasonboylen5161]

This guy is awesome I read an interview with him in Guitar World magazine and he is the future of blues. Gary Clark Jr will be taking over the world before to long!!!!!

[@teddyroosevelt512]

I don't understand how songs like this isn't on top 40 radio

[@sugar44601]

I heard this song while eating lunch at Red Lobster with my family. Not my usual genre of music but,I immediately became obsessed with this song. I became a fan instantly!!

[@willw5201]

September 18th 1970 was the last time the world had an artist like this.

[@abarthist54]

The guitar play is so good,everything just works,love all his stuff!,good luck to him!

[@joecantu5252]

Whoah Dude

[@cvmuziclvr77]

Wow can he play that guitar.....what a flow ---I could listen to that all day.....and will......

[@nairagrigoryan335]

This guy was a real invention for me from Tribute Stevie Wonder. I like the ART that you create!

[@TheJanvicgwaps]

I've watched this guy in the Movie Chef. Hooked on ever since.

[@bobshanty455]

Chef? I dont remember him in it

[@TheJanvicgwaps]

Bob Shanty the part where they where in Texas he was playing in the Background.

[@GustavoUnser]

me too ^^

[@GustavoUnser]

but I know gary before this movie

[@olgachablepuc4802]

q

[@SOMEONE-yq3bv]

This man has true talent

[@danielplantiko3325]

How many more artists are out there like Gary that are so ultra talented that I've never heard of, but now I cant stop listening to??

[@jeffreydevers2025]

Pure excellence.

[@cwhitt3132]

Luke Cage brought me here the music kept me. Excellent bro.

[@nickbarkybark]

Saw you last night with the Foo Fighters in OKC! You rocked dude!

[@phodopussungorus]

been following this guy since he started. If I was a pro athlete, I would insist this song was played every time I stepped onto the court.

[@actionsub]

First time I heard this song when it came out, it sounded like it'd make perfect entrance music for a pro boxer, MMA fighter, or wrestler.

[@chi-chimonroe3661]

Saw him on Monday at the Fox theater in STL.....he is totally A-MA-ZING

[@karloshskorner2874]

Him and Kingfish are some of my favorite artists. I love the blues.

[@shawnbari6982]

This is excellent, the best music I've heard in a while and actually is timeless!!! Kudos!!!!!!

[@ctaylor6794]

I am surprised this has under 2 million views. It seems to always be on the radio in NZ.

[@brianpowers2037]

Never once have I heard any of his music on any radio station in the US. Then again, I don't listen to a lot of radios. Virtually nobody I know has heard of him. Shame really.

[@AitutakianMMA]

I'm in Aussie now bro, fuck the music shit here straight up have to hear from people back home posting gud music lol miss mai fm and all that

[@jessicakirby04]

The live version of this song has over 2 million views. Blues isn't very mainstream in the states. But since the grammys he should get a little more attention. Hopefully! Such talent!

[@jasonelliott66]

I discovered Gary on the Audience network on DirecTv.....this dude has absolutely blown my mind!!! I don't listen to radio much either. Everything here (southern U.S.....Tennessee to be exact) is either country or that Juston Beiber BS!! This dude is 100% bad ass!!!

[@OfoeNelson]

Guess where I'm migrating to Taylor? :-)

[@GabeHells99]

One of my favorites songs.

[@debraglendenning3328]

YOU ... ARE ... AWESOME! That's all I can say!🎸🎶

[@tooniesfather5503]

[@dirkdiggler8367]

I'm here cuz of max Payne 3 the bar scene where he kills a capo ! This was the song playing in the background

[@sathvikrachakulla]

My man, Luke Cage! That scene was perfection! Y'all know what exactly I am talking about ♥.♥

[@frankhoard3429]

Allen gray Jr music on KZbin

[@HonkeeMcgee]

"I'd been sitting at the bar for three hours, or, five years depending on how you looked at things."

[@tonywalker8989]

I said something similar a few years back

[@Aurora-bv1ys]

I tried not to look at things

[@WinterbornMT]

Found him through Chef tonight, he is absolutely incredible. Without a shadow of a doubt one of my new favorites. Damn. Jam all night to this!!

[@kimberlyr7688]

I hope that Macy's commercial gives you all the fame and fortune you deserve. You are a gifted musician/singer.
