This cat is a prodigy I seen him last night and his mix of jazz and blues and psychedelia is absolutely amazing. It's like sly and the family stone mixed with the allman brothers but all in all this cat ain't comparable he's a guitar wizard go out and support this fella who is making magical music
I love him man. His singing and playing give me goosebumps. He has IT! SOUL and emotion. Great writer too. Very rare these days to have all of that. This music hits me.
Think it this way: you feel it so because the entire song prepared you to feel it that way at the end. Contrast. You can appreciate the light until you've experienced the darkest night.
Lyrics: Verse 1: I dreamed of the day When I’d hold you in my arms again Read you all the letters I wrote And never sent Give you all the pieces of me Put’em back together Put’em back together again Life has a way of writing your story for you And The hero Doesn’t always get his girl What if you could change the ending To the novel we've been writing Leave no resolution Chorus: So goodbye Carolina Searched my whole life to find ya Hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you So hold my hand as I’m leaving Hoped my pain would be enough reason I’ll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky Now I’m going here to tell you goodbye Verse 2: Say it takes a selfish man To leave on out from his old hometown Without saying why he’s going You can come and take the rest of me Early in the morning Tell me your goodbyes Where I’m going I wont have the reminders Of what I lost And what was taken away from me But I hope you’ll understand I was a broken man in my own hometown Needing to find my own peace Chorus: Goodbye Carolina Searched my whole life to find ya I hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you So hold my hand as I’m leaving Thought my pain would be enough reason I’ll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky Now I’m going Here to tell you goodbye Instrumental bridge Outro Chorus: Goodbye Carolina Searched my whole life to find ya I hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you I’ll be seeing you I’ll be seeing you Sick instrumental outro Couldn’t find any anywhere, thought I’d share what I came up with!
@Spider-manana, it's about a friend of Marcus's who committed suicide. He was traveling abroad in France and the lyrics "goodbye Carolina" just came to him, and he was reminded of his friend.
He's getting refined. This specific track I noticed a little change in his voice. It's not pushing it, singing more naturally. Don't get me wrong I love it when you sings hard too. Remember he started very young. A real professional. The perfect band alongside him. It's rejuvenated my love for the blues rock sound.
I completely agree and understand what you're saying. I've said before that his real raspy voice, while very good, isn't needed in all instances and I actually wondered if he could sustain that way of singing for an entire career. All of his most recent stuff, he's definitely singing more balanced. It's great to see.
Totally agree. He has a great talent but that talent needs to be worked on (Like everything else in life). I loved the first album and also the 2nd, but you can hear that he has even more improved his talent on this one.
Man, them horns. As awesome as Marcus is on the guitar, and as great as their songwriting has become, having a horn section has given their sound a depth and maturity far beyond its years.
Brings a tear to my eyes when I hear this, not only the words in it but the way he puts his own pain into them. Gives me a smile to think there is hope for the future with these kids today. Well done Marcus I and many other thank you for what you're doing! Hope you find what you're looking for brother.
Allman / Feat / Mathews - Combo WOW ! Slide Licks like B. Rait, Ry Cooder, & Lowell George Unbelievable... They blow like Tower of Power horns Production stellar What a great talent...
The performance on this song at the Grand Ole Opry was off planet, incredible. If you were going to release a live copy, that would be the one. Very soulful.
Very emotional and professional really amazing music gives a bit of hope that not everyone is a part of this disastrous reality that we experiencing in the past 15 yeara sadly to say led by the USA u lost all of your magic as a nation (greetings from Israel)
I had never heard of him until yesterday. I happened upon an interview and decided to check him out. Just stunned at his lovely voice and talent. Better late than never.
First time hearing this group was last Friday at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Concert in Dallas Tx. Absolutely blew me away! I was in awe of his guitar playing. Thinking maybe he was beamed down from another planet. If you haven’t seen them live treat yourself to a hell of a show.👍👍👍
Ive been listening to this dudes music for like two years. Saw him on the stephen colbert show the other day. Im so fuckin happy that this guy is being recognized for his amazing singing, guitar and songwriting skills. Hes got a bright future infront of him and he fucking deserves it.

I heard this song on Sirius XM Radio a couple of days ago and was immediately taken back by this gorgeous song. Came to TH-cam looking for a video of the song and found this. Wow, this is great!
The vocals and harmonies are so tight and mesmerizing. Thank you MKB for stopping by Arizona this year. You had me and all of the members of Bad News Blues Band thoroughly entertained by the musicianship and the sweet southern soul tones you guys were sweating out all night. And a huge shout out to Bishop Gun, those guys really know how to rock a crowd. I need more, can't wait to own this new record. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MUSIC LISTENABLE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not music you listen to, this is music you feel.
Artists spend a lifetime trying to capture this. Marcus seems to achieve it naturally
Absolutely Right!
👊🏼🦅
This M&S music.
made me cry.
Apparently I'm 3 years late, but music like this is completely timeless.
Honestly I’d love to hear Chris Stapleton and Marcus do a collab
They on tour together. I just bought tickets for Biloxi Sept 18. So maybe they perform something?!?!
Yassss!
I was just thinking the same thing. They’re very similar. I just discovered Marcus and I’m loving it.
@@tbird5478 yes! we just bought tickets for the cinci show! Man I can’t wait!
they are on tour together, yesterday marcus king band (along with an amazing singer named yola right before) opened for chris! It was so beautiful!
This cat is a prodigy I seen him last night and his mix of jazz and blues and psychedelia is absolutely amazing. It's like sly and the family stone mixed with the allman brothers but all in all this cat ain't comparable he's a guitar wizard go out and support this fella who is making magical music
Don't forget the Chicago in mix as well! 😉🤙
Amen to that!
Yep. He is astounding to see. A truly old soul.
Reminds me of a southern rock Tommy Bolin. 🥰
Was thinking of seeing him here in Denver in a few days. If i have the money i definately will after looking some of this music up. My kind of stuff
People that show you New music are special....
Your mother is special.
Shout out to YMH!
@@jaryd123456 been a long time fan of mkb, WAS SO HAPPY WHEN YMH RELEASED, MY WORLDS COLLIDED
You're special alright!!! You're also a legend in your own mind! Old habits die hard!
A breath of fresh air in the dismal music scene.
You’re not trying hard enough
Marcus is transcendent. He is mesmerizing to see live. He is a truly old soul and a wonderful person in real life.
Transcendent or transgender?
I love him man. His singing and playing give me goosebumps. He has IT! SOUL and emotion. Great writer too. Very rare these days to have all of that. This music hits me.
Melissa Oh yeah this guys the real deal Nice guitar. Where'd ya see him
One the most talented young artists out today and the lyrics are absolutely amazing.
@@briankelly5432 Waco, Texas!
Marcus is the new love of my life 💔💔💔💔
His voice breaks my heart in 10.000 pieces.
And his guitar playing skills kills me.
Why in the world would someone give this beautiful song a thumbs down ...
Obviously not raised right :) ...Or raised on Top 40 radio.....
Souls never die, they are born again even better. Thank you for giving me a reason to hope that the old ways will see new days.
PS: The instrumental part at the end gives me goosebumps! (it's the most beautiful part of the song in my opinion!)
Think it this way: you feel it so because the entire song prepared you to feel it that way at the end. Contrast. You can appreciate the light until you've experienced the darkest night.
How does someone listen to this song then have the audacity to dislike. Shame on them .
167 thumbs down?I'll never want to listen to what they listen to.This is awesome.
There are no flaws in this song. Perfection.
So glad I haven't seen any negative comments he's a great musician
the way that this song explodes into a slide guitar solo is sublime
That slide tone is amazing
Saw them open for Stapleton last week and they’re just as good live as they are in studio
I hope this amazing musician hasn't faded out.
Marcus King is a gift to us all.
All I see now is years old posts.
Blessing to your Marcus King.
No worries. We're all too busy listening to his newer, just as good stuff.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I dreamed of the day
When I’d hold you in my arms again
Read you all the letters I wrote
And never sent
Give you all the pieces of me
Put’em back together
Put’em back together again
Life has a way of writing your story for you
And The hero
Doesn’t always get his girl
What if you could change the ending
To the novel we've been writing
Leave no resolution
Chorus:
So goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find ya
Hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know
Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you
So hold my hand as I’m leaving
Hoped my pain would be enough reason
I’ll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
Now I’m going
here to tell you goodbye
Verse 2:
Say it takes a selfish man
To leave on out
from his old hometown
Without saying why he’s going
You can come and take the rest of me
Early in the morning
Tell me your goodbyes
Where I’m going
I wont have the reminders
Of what I lost
And what was taken away from me
But I hope you’ll understand
I was a broken man in my own hometown
Needing to find my own peace
Chorus:
Goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find ya
I hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know
Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you
So hold my hand as I’m leaving
Thought my pain would be enough reason
I’ll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
Now I’m going
Here to tell you goodbye
Instrumental bridge
Outro Chorus:
Goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find ya
I hate to leave you but I hope you’ll know
Where I’m going I’ll be seeing you
I’ll be seeing you
I’ll be seeing you
Sick instrumental outro
Couldn’t find any anywhere, thought I’d share what I came up with!
thanks for sharing.
might have it by now..if not buy the cd it has all the lyrics
Is this song just about leaving his home town or a girl in his hometown?
Thanks for lyrics !
@Spider-manana, it's about a friend of Marcus's who committed suicide. He was traveling abroad in France and the lyrics "goodbye Carolina" just came to him, and he was reminded of his friend.
Chris Stapleton and Marcus king...... mind blown. Two of the best male vocalists out there right now
This song hits real different now - 😢 praying for NC
It took YMH to get me to know this band. And being a North Carolinian I truly enjoyed this
An instant classic. Band sounds like they came from 1969/1970, I love it.
Southern Rock is alive!
Grady Browning...Alive and well :) And in good hands.
Saw them in chicago.
Put the foot on the gas pedal and didnt lift for 2 hours. Great american band of very talented musicians.
He's getting refined. This specific track I noticed a little change in his voice. It's not pushing it, singing more naturally. Don't get me wrong I love it when you sings hard too. Remember he started very young. A real professional. The perfect band alongside him. It's rejuvenated my love for the blues rock sound.
Gino Rossellini let the man sing like he want,the way want.when he want to sing.send me a link to your video of you singing so I can critique it.

@@bigoogie3737 Thanx.. He's such a good musician very professional for his age extremely impressed by this young man.
Totally agree. He has a great talent but that talent needs to be worked on (Like everything else in life). I loved the first album and also the 2nd, but you can hear that he has even more improved his talent on this one.
So lucky to have found this band! If this is what he is putting out now - we have got something coming folks! Absolutely blown away!!
Enfin une voix du Sud râpeuse et enlevée 🎉❤😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😊😊
Very special talent here boys , been a while since something reached my soul , this does it
This is MUSIC
Markus King is a rare sound. I love everything he plays. As it was said before, he is a prodigy!
Blows me away.. .. .. .. ..WOW..... Its a southern thang .. keep it up..!!!!!!!
Wonderful. Its time everyone took notice of MKB talant.
Very talented indeed. But do you think Marcus is transgender? Honestly, he does have that certain "look."
@@chrismc.4437 I guess its a sign of the time that you would even say that.
@@nadson8021 truly so... None the less
@@chrismc.4437 this comment has a high and tight feel to it?
Man, them horns. As awesome as Marcus is on the guitar, and as great as their songwriting has become, having a horn section has given their sound a depth and maturity far beyond its years.
Marcus King and his band are possibly the most magical act out today. Its a Love Bomb !
Yes back then but now days we have Oliver Anthony.....
Some real music!
Southern rock at its best! What a masterpiece! Marcus is brilliant and I am totally in love with him! (this album is a real kick in the ass!!!)
Brings a tear to my eyes when I hear this, not only the words in it but the way he puts his own pain into them. Gives me a smile to think there is hope for the future with these kids today. Well done Marcus I and many other thank you for what you're doing! Hope you find what you're looking for brother.
Absolutely amazing. I just fell in love with this band and their music!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🩵🩵🩵🩵
Keeping rock alive
Allman / Feat / Mathews - Combo WOW !
Slide Licks like B. Rait, Ry Cooder, & Lowell George Unbelievable...
They blow like Tower of Power horns
Production stellar
What a great talent...
This young man has an amazing voice. Listening for the first time. I'll be listening always now. Crazy

Nelson Holt This band blew the roof off of the AAC!! One of the true highlights of the Crossroads Guitar Festival!
Excellent, music as it's supposed to be ❤❤❤💙💙💙💙
Evertime I here this I am just amazed
How have I not heard this before? Feel like I just found Gold..
It doesn't get any better than this song . Theses guys are amazing .
WOW!!!
The guitar solo in this song is one of the best I've ever heard. Shame it's only on the extended version.
The best rock and roll in 20+ years. I stopped listening to music a long time ago, I thought music was dead but I cant stop listening to this guy.
Love this song!!!
Completely agree with Paul S. In your bones music!
Reminds me of early Allman Brothers with a little Chris Stapleton thrown in. Very impressed.
Awesome. Greetings from Serbia.
The hero doesn’t always get his girl it’s true
Dan Coleman nice to meet ya I am Deana Coleman
Amazing Artist.
Fck yeah. Found this band today listening to XM Jam On station. Count me in for the Greenville show July 13th.
Killing it...Goose bumps...Everytime I hear it..🎸🍄✌
Words shot right through me..
🍃
These boys are getting really good. That's a great song.

Greetings from Rome, Italy
Her? 😂
"hear it" ✌️🤩
You, my friend, are the epitome of fantastic music. Peace and love
Absolutely amazing ,
Jus simply great music
This is about leaving your hometown and hitting the road for new grounds and things to make your soul grow.
It’s actually about the suicide of a friend.
I dreamed of the day when I'd hold you in my arms again
Read you all the letters I wrote, never sent
Give you all the pieces of me
Put 'em back together
Put 'em back together again
Life has a way of writing your story for you
And the hero doesn't always get his girl
What if you could change the ending
To the novel they've been writing
Leave no resolution
So goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
So hold my hand as I'm leaving
Hoped my pain would be enough reason
See you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
Now I'm going
Hate to tell you goodbye
Say it takes a selfish man
To leave on out from his old hometown without saying why he's going
But you can come take the rest of me
Early in the morning
Tell me your goodbye
Where I'm going I won't have these reminders of what I lost
What was taken away from me
And I hope you'll understand
I was a broken man in my own hometown
Need to find my own peace
So goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
So hold my hand as I'm leaving
Hoped my pain would be enough reason
See you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
Now I'm going
Hate to tell you goodbye
So goodbye Carolina
Searched my whole life to find you
I hate to leave you but I hope you'll know
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
God damn when those horns come in😮
Good music will never die, this band is a proof of that!! I am so grateful for your music, cannot really express it in words :)

#1 in my book! Thanks Marcus! Thank you very much!!!
