I love this track. I’m from the blue ridge mountains in NC and lost my only brother to alcoholism in 2018. This song reminds me so much of him. Just before he passed away he ask me to hold his had until he took his last breath. Which I did.. Good bye Carolina. Hate to leave you. I’ll see you on the other side of the blue ridge sky. That was my precious brother saying his goodbye. I miss him daily.

It's been over a month since my M.K. awakening, still going strong. Can't wait till we can all go see LIVE music IN PERSON again ...

I remember learning this song is a tribute to Marcus’ good friend who he lost to suicide. He wrote it from his friend’s perspective. What a beautiful song

How does Justin Bieber have billions of views but this guy doesn't??????????? OMG that makes me 😭

Well, money talks

I dreamed of the day That 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 [Chorus] 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 I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky Now I'm going Hate 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 But you can come take the rest of me Early in the morning Tell me your goodbyes Where I'm going I won't have these reminders Of what I lost and 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 [Chorus] 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 I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky Now I'm going Hate to tell you goodbye

Dear Marcus King Band Drummer: I love you. As deeply, as your pocket is.

I have to rank him with the greats , I pray he don’t go overboard and keeps his nose clean and lives a long life with a long music career because I will be listening the whole way .

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him twice and talking with him after the first show for a good 15 minutes. They had played the night before on Kimmel in LA , driven all night to play their solo tour opener in Albuquerque . Marcus was personable , humble, and appreciative of all the compliments that I was heaping on him. He must have been exhausted but I would never have known by his demeanor. Taking compliments well can be harder than it sounds. Especially when I was honestly gushing to him that he’s already the heir apparent guitar god and that seeing his band is like seeing the young Allman Brothers. I stand by every word. I am so happy this man and this band do what they do with such dedication .Shout out to Tedeschi and Trucks and Warren Haynes for befriending the next generation of great musicians ! So much love.

This is my favorite Marcus King tune. His guitar solo sounds like it was lifted from a 70’s Marshall Tucker song and the song topic and lyrics make it sound even more so like a song from them. But it’s an original and I love it. He’s an original.

With country music on the decline with its overuse of snap and pop tracks alongside synthesizers Marcus goes and writes one of the best country music songs of this decade

When I want to listen to this song I always come here. This is hands down the best version of this song. 💯

I can't help from asking myself why an Spanish old man like me sees himself so hooked on this song, artist and different performances of such an incredible tune... from blues to country, from jazz to rock,... everything's there just waiting for you to open your ears at last. So great...

Marcus is at the top of my Bucket List !!

Said it takes a selfish man....leave on out....from his own hometown without saying why he's going. Man, I feel these lyrics. This whole song is alot of my own life Great song Marcus King Band. I'm forever a fan

Hi mommy, thanks jeans

Marcus King is a legend in the making!

“I was a broken man in my old hometown. Need to find my own peace.” This line cuts me deep every time I hear it. Marcus has clearly studied and had had Warren Haynes as a mentor. But he’s definitely his own man. Catch these guys live! This guy and his band are something special.

Shhhhhhhhh.....🤫🤫🤫 Mainstream would kill the rawness in his music. Mainstream killed Dave Mathews as well. Plus the people at his shows now are 🤢

Marcus King will carry the torch of all the great southern rock/blues bands, in my opinion... Thank God for him.. He's all from his heart and soul and so young when he wrote this.. Find the interview of the meaning/reason for the song.. It's deep.. Peace

Every time me I listen to him all I can think of is how lucky we are to have him

Spotify just recommended me this band and I can't stop listening to them. Amazing songs

Love this song. Something haunting about it.

For the longest time I couldn't understand why listening to Marcus or Billy Strings or Allen Stone made me so happy but left me wanting to cry. I finally figured it out. The future of music is not lost nor is it dead and the excitement of these exceptionally talented young artist is worth sticking around for. You all make my heart sing with joy. Thank You!!!!!!

Exactly! I sleep a hell of a lot better at night knowing that the future of music is safe in these capable hands.

Great to see that there is still some REAL musicians in this world that knows and understands there instruments.

Derek Truck is my favourite slide player! Seeing this I must say that Marcus isn't a bad slide player! Vocal, guitar playing everything is in the pocket.

This dude is the real deal .he's a fix I have daily

Marcus King is in his 20s and plays like a 40 something yr old. Phenomenal!

This is the fifth time I have listened to this, today. I can't get enough. As a Carolina boy, myself, these fellas always do us proper.

So good... 'nuff said

About 3 and a half minutes in i start cryin already because i know whats about to happen. Its about the same exact experience that happens in the middle of Freebird too, that transition from one loving realm into another ponderous and imminent realm of a grateful goodbye.

I saw these guys play with TTB last summer on the Wheels of Soul tour... they blew the roof off the place. And when Marcus came out to Jam with Derek and Susan - magic.

Wow... that was some of the best playing I've ever seen from a young man. From any player in my opinion... that was next level stuff. Amazing band too.

Marcus is the 'REAL DEAL' ... Loads of talent, and a song writing ability that rivals the all time greats. His attitude is 'just right' to carry him to the stars ... and beyond. A major influence in the music world .. and just 24 years old.

This song just gave me the chills. Man Marcus and his band are fantastic.

Shit is REAL ! Absolute masterpiece by a young legend . I have Seen them twice so far , once just last month , if they come to your town don't miss them !

I've seen them all over the years,,but mkb are in a league of there own,, I have no words but praise,,just keep doing what obliviously comes so natural to these guys,,,,,I hope they are around for many years to come,,,

Oh that Marcus King can sing. Writes great songs. Knows his way around a guitar. This is a very good example of his talent.

Small space, BIG sound!

What hot licks and that earthy rock voice. Where has this gruop been all My™ musical lief? Out from under that rock I been living. And I'm from Allman Bros waaay back. King SOLID.

I've seen him live a few times. Incredible talent.

His phrasing is so goddam phenomenal!

Marcus~ I been following you on y~tube for a couple years now. I feel you man . Your right on time in my life. Thank you kindly for sharing your gift of songs you've written and your many musical talents. You are blessed in so many ways and I truly am by you. Thank you kindly... for being just YOU, Hoping you come to Wichita for a concert live at The TEMPLE The Wave. .or The Cotillion Ballroom.

I just discovered him..amazing! For some reason he popped up on my videos..but I am a Chris Stapleton fan..but this guy has some Neville brothers voice there

This is just as good as any classic from any legendary band, insanely talented both voice and guitar chops, band is great too. Im in awe. / Fan from sweden

Man! My uncle passed away in 2014 and Marcus makes me think of him. I know that he would be his favorite artist. No question about it!

Amazing sound and sensibility

Going to see Marcus King open up for Chris Stapleton tomorrow night at the original Woodstock site (Bethel Woods). I'm psyched!

Holy shit! Talk about some quality musicians! Amazing!

That was badass!!!!!!!!!!

that slide, damn sounds so nice, chills of Duane

That solo is chilling through my body

Beautiful song! Fantastic band!!!

Gorgeous tone , silky singing ,lots of feelin' , great band , there's still hope out there

Amazin Boys. thanks for the music

This song always reminds me of my father, when he had to leave Carolina that he loved so much for the last time..... It must have killed him....

This band is amazing, everytime they knock it out of the part. So old school yet so fresh!

I love this song. I can't quit listening to it and our band will be covering this song! That's how much we love it! Marcus is a super talented young man! And his band is filled with talent. I hope to catch them live next time they come threw KY

Talented. Obsessed with his music.

yep,just doing my... lazy, out the studio, lay up- thang.....of finding some new music,just to see what's going on with the world and the music in it...Wow! The Marcus King Band,....pretty damn good stuff. Good guitarist, good songwriting ...and the sound of a tight, well seasoned, batch of musicians. I'm very interested to see what comes of these guys … ..but as it seems, the world... is their lobster...and the cards hold..."whatever they make it to be". I'm a fan... and best to these boys!

Oh my Jesus.... ❤️❤️❤️

The crispness on this is next tech level! But still this Marcus King feller here is something. The band tight and talented

What a jam!!!! Unfrikin real

The Jam in the Van production on this track is better than the native album version. FFS!

I am a lover of all music but primarily hip hop, reggae and salsa...Steel Pulse brought me here! Point is it takes a lot for me to listen to rock in general. But if my favorite band in the world reccomends someone, they rarely do, I gotta listen. HOOKED!! Bluesy southern type rock is my favorite and this band hits the spot! The depth of emotion this music creates. Some of these songs are better than the classics. Stay alive people!! I want to be 80 hearing thier 20th studio album!

just absolutely moving every time. You can see how much his soul is voiced through the guitar like it's an extension of him. I wish to get to that state. Marcus King has enough soul to heal the world. so moved and inspired, absolutely awe struck by another talented artist.

My new favorite! Thanks Marcus and friends!!

Killer vocals, killer guitar, killer band, killer song. #KILLER

As good as it gets….

young Dudes with great taste in music ???? With great talent ???? Wow ... I'm sold !!!!!!!

these guys deserve so many more views and likes than what they have gotten Markus is a young legend on the guitar very talented and still learning and growing I hope to shake this mans hand one day...

Young Man is badass to the bone. Awesome!!

Hands Down one of the Best songs I've ever seen played on KZread. They just sound better and better with time:) cheers

The way they end this one is absolutely perfect. Nice job

I do love this track and you have the talent it takes to rock it out in your wonderful bluesy style. T. Ferris

Marcus never disappoints! He just keeps setting the bar even higher!

The hero doesn’t always get his girl - thx Marcus

Super stuff ! Kick ass changes and band...

Amazing dude. Super talent - all of them.

At this point, I don't think I have found a live performance that he doesn't just flat out knock it out of the park. It is now a top priority for me to go see these guys live.

God Bless Marcus King !

He's a genius
