GARY CLARK JR.began playing guitar in 1996 at the ripe young age of 12. Born and raised in Austin, TX, Gary continued to play small gigs throughout his early teens, until he popped on the radar of legendary promoter Clifford Antone, owner of the Austin blues club Antone's. Through Clifford's connections, Gary soon began sitting in and learning from an array of musical icons, including the incomparable Jimmie Vaughan.
Jimmie and others in the Austin music community mentored Gary along his path, facilitating his steady rise, and continued ascent in the Texas music scene. Gary's musical peers, as well as the Austin music community at-large, have showered him with critical acclaim for his galvanized live performances, and fervid expression. At one unexpected point of political recognition, mayor of Austin Kirk Watson proclaimed May 3, 2001 Gary Clark Jr Day. Gary was 18 years old at the time.
Gary went on to win the Austin Music Award for Best Blues and Electric Guitarist on three separate occasions, in addition to receiving awards from various Blues magazines and associations around the country. After playing the nationally televised show Austin City Limits and touring with the likes of artists such as Jimmie Vaughan, Pinetop Perkins, and Doyle Bramhall II, he continued his recording pursuits by releasing three self-produced albums, and creating the original score for the major motion picture Full Count. His creative versatility allowed him to transcend his own musical talents, while also starring as a principal character in John Sayle’s film Honeydripper, alongside actors Danny Glover and Stacy Keach.
Originally known as a blues musician and even compared to such greats as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and Albert King, Gary is stepping out...way out. His upcoming CD will really test his blues fans. Will they appreciate Gary's guitar chops and his soulful voice as he explores other genres? Gary hopes so and he hopes they will continue with him on his journey. And with this new sound, we're thinking Gary will pick up some new fans along the way.
HIs first major label LP "Blak and Blu" was released on October 22, 2012

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been one of those days
Where things don't go my way
Ooh, and it seems like always
The thing to blame is my ways
You're the one I'm thinkin' of
You are my lady
I am your man
Some call it crazy
But they don't understand
When I'm gone
Baby, I'm always gone too long
That don't get your mind to wonderin'
If I still care, 'cause, baby, I still care
You're the one I'm thinkin' of
The one I'm dreamin' of is you, uh
You are my lady
I am your man
Some call it crazy, but
They don't understand
Our love (ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, our)
Come on, babe (ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, our love)
Come on, babe (ooh, ooh)

Let me be your man
Keep it together, babe

Our love
The lyrics of the song ‘Our Love’ by Gary Clark Jr. talk about a rough day or period in the singer's life where things just don’t go his way. He blames himself for the things that he's going through. Despite all these negative things, he thinks about the person he loves, the one he dreams of, and dedicates the song to her as she is the one who understands him, even when others don't. He then states that their love might seem crazy to others, but it is something that they don't need to understand because it is their love. The singer’s absence makes him wonder if his partner still cares, but he reassures her that he still loves her. The song is an ode to the unconditional and unwavering love that two people share, regardless of the opinions of others.
