Clapton, Eric - Got To Get Better In A Little While Lyrics






Don't you know what's wrong with me?
I'm seeing things I don't want to see.
Sniffing things that ain't no good for me.
I'm going down fast, won't you say a prayer for me?

[Chorus:]
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.

The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday.

Revolution all across the land.
Just like Sly, you got to take a stand.
Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down;
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Still one thing that you can do;
Fall down on your knees and pray.
I know the Lord's gonna answer you.
Don't do it tomorrow, do it today.

[Chorus]

    Thank you, Mr. Clapton!

  8. K.... M....

    Still enjoying this in 2020....

  9. A.... D....

    I always come back to this epic performance. They're so in the pocket, Steve Jordan and his bass brother. Clapton riding the wave, soaring above it all. Beautiful sexy backup singers adding their soulful tones, swinging those hips to the buzz. What more could a man want. ha ha

  10. T.... ....

    Yeh ... That's what I keep saying, but the health issues remain after 14 years ...

  11. S.... h....

    No offend, but Quinn Sullivan plays this piece much better
    at Buddy Guy's club!
    Quinn is almost 14 years old (!!!)

  12. L.... M....

    Doyle's guitar is strung upside down. Hendrix played a right handed guitar left handed but he had it strung like a left handed guitar....

  13. T.... ....

    You rock all the way and all times so bring it on

  14. J.... G....

    Du grand CLAPTON mais un super batteur derrière et exceptionnel bravo

  15. b.... b....

    Doyle Bramhall II ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  16. B.... B....

    I like the album version better.

  17. G.... B....

    We are not worthy

  18. W.... B....

    What the fuck??? only 371k subscribers for the legend eric clapton!!.. Shame on you, youtube!

  19. M.... P....

    Tough as nails. That distinct EC tone gets you every time. So glad he's still here and playing!

  20. u.... s....

    Steve Jordan is "the groove"!

  21. R.... P....

    Eric still has it!! What a performance!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Excellent performance!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😀

  22. J.... H....

    If you enjoy this check out Eric in Derek and the Dominos (Live At The Fillmore) in 1970, also outstanding!

  23. R.... G....

    The song is so much better with Steve Jordan. Gotta love how he changes his snares almost every song, and his pocket.

  24. K.... M....

    Best Version ! Thru all the great versions and with almost every band EC jumped in on ...over decades
    the best in every sound and space and moment voice breaks.
    pounding like the badass Eric is
    6:46 ! Dont wait ...do it tonite !

  25. G.... C....

    En España hay más
    marcha,si lo toca aki flipamos.

  26. J.... F....

    Doyle's got a great head of hair.

  27. �.... �....

    So funky! Omg he is not a human.

  28. �.... �....

    Jesjs christ, he freaking rocks!

  29. B.... H....

    Doyle Bramhall seems to jam with everyone !
    At least it looks like him!

  30. l.... p....

    I enjoyed every second of my favourite blues! 🎶🎸🎶

    l.... p....

    Its funk brah ))

    l.... p....

    I love your, encouraging messages to me! That means a lot! 😏🎸🎷🇩🇰

  31. J.... C....

    Excellent!

  32. P.... G....

    Whoever's disliked this can lick my balls.

  33. D.... Y....

    I think Michele John (background singer on the left all in black) is so beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiQUuPpM8ss

  34. J.... E....

    How does Doyle play that thing strung upside down like that?

  35. C.... S....

    Wow!!!! Eric Clapton is said to be nr 2 guitar player, after nr 1 Jimmy Hendrix . Well, I do not agree. Both Eric Clapton and John Fogerty are nr 1. And then comes Jimmy Hendrix.

  36. J.... D....

    The Master Guitar Blaster

  37. P.... P....

    Great song, thank you.

  38. D.... S....

    This sounds better every time I hear it. Clapton needs to double Steve Jordan's (drummer) salary. He's one of the hardest working musicians in show business.

  39. J.... G....

    Always gives me great energy. Amazing!

  40. G.... G....

    WoW! Anzi, triplo WoW, anche per questa performance! :-)

  41. H.... ....

    Wow Funky Eric

  42. R.... N....

    STEVE FUC2ING JORDAN

  43. D.... V....

    Dear Eric, the sun shines everyday on your guitar, your voice and your supernatural and ageless talent. You are a real living legend.

  44. J.... C....

    Man those notes hit you right in the heart.

  45. M.... S....

    I can feel alot of srv style with doyle, i know his dad was srvs drummer for a while but i dont know for sure if thats where doyle learned his funky solo pattern

  46. M.... A....

    First saw him when I was 19...almost fell out of the first row balcony trying to get a better look. Loved him then, love him now and I am 70, he is the best guitarist I have ever seen and I've seen them all.

  47. D.... W....

    Hey. This. Guy. Is. A. Calvery. Very. Very. Boss. And. His. Band. Is. Also. Badass. Ha😎😎😎 hello. Somebody

  48. M.... O....

    This is just so good! Eric and the band are incredible, plus the groove of Steve Jordan, YES!!!!!

  49. G.... P....

    The drummer looks so stressed out. What a contrast to drummers such as Billy Cobham - totally relaxed even while performing the most complex rhythms.

  50. R.... A....

    Qué onor tocar con ese gran señor

  51. D.... A....

    WOWEE!!!!!!

  52. R.... 6....

    As he stares into a certain nowhere, he ripps us a new asshole with his Guitar!!!!

  53. v.... p....

    wooooowwww

  54. S.... C....

    Didn't know than Clapton was so good even with funky. Amazing. He really gets better with age

  55. M.... G....

    Too bad service keeps freezing

  56. G.... C....

    He should be at Pall's Mall in Boston around 1973

  57. H.... y....

    terrific

  58. R.... H....

    Slowhandd

  59. E.... M....

    That's the great singer Paul Carrack on the organ and backing vocals.

  60. S.... S....

    A master at work.

  61. K.... M....

    Show me one imperfect note!
    No! -not from poofy- puffy pants, the strutting rooster --with a famous guitar playin 'daddy.'
    Is slowly getting better.
    EC generously picks young artists to boost them.
    EC WHY NOT build lrgitimate rehabs on the usa..se hsve quikie rehabs that don't last sa ADDICTS NEED more time AWAY from drug pals. Elites love repeat CUSTOMERS at $60k FOR lame new drug subbing FOR only 6 weeks!
    O.D.s NOT publicized bor is the actual source od alo o.d's.. Fentanyl Ma de on Chinese back alles..found on MEXICAN open border SMUGGLERS.
    its not Rx drugs. ADDICTS never can afford Des PLUS RX's. Eric..step up to the nation you live in! WE NEED a spokesperson and compassionate mentor.

  62. D.... S....

    😎😎😎

  63. a.... ....

    ...re previous post, just wish I had a DVD player to play it on haha! Gotta calm down that Amazon trigger finger

  64. a.... ....

    Dang that's hot stuff...just bought the DVD and the album while watching this and playing along in my studio. Wow just wow.

  65. K.... M....

    The best version of their great or greatest song.
    Great compassion and faith make the basis of getting better in a little while POSSIBLE for the guy who needs a helpin hand..and GET DOWN down on Your Knees to GET THE HELP YOU CANT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE!
    ITS THE HOLIEST OF HOLY SHIT. THE HOLY GRAIL. 4:42 EVEN BETTER !

  66. K.... B....

    Man, Steve Jordan is electrifying.

  67. D.... P....

    A fantastic song!

  68. J.... C....

    Eric does funk!

  69. D.... F....

    you are my chief.....mr e.c thank you british man

  70. J.... G....

    Hell Yes

  71. J.... G....

    Rt. 7 and Rt8 with stone Heagh in Back

  72. S.... C....

    Been through Opioid-addiction as well!!

  73. B.... B....

    wat is de naam van de guitar speler dichtbij Clapton ?

    B.... B....

    Doyle Bramhall

  74. K.... M....

    Nirvana is his second nature. God Bless!

  75. B.... K....

    I have always loved the way Eric will let the other guitar player whomever it is take a solo. Classy man

  76. B.... K....

    Doyle is the real deal. Grew up as his dad wrote for Stevie and he plays with Eric ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  77. r.... a....

    Clapton is still one of the best rock guitarists in the world in spite of his age, and together with an excellent band like here, it sounds excellent. Hurrah for the sober old man.

  78. B.... S....

    If Baker's hi-hat work is old-school, and Gadd's hi-hat work is new-school, then Steve Jordan pulled the fire alarm on the school.

  79. m.... ....

    Yeahh menn

  80. M.... G....

    You couldn't ask for a better performance from Eric, he definitely had it going on.
    The mid-song guitar break...it was like the guitar was speaking to us.

  81. J.... C....

    He caresses that strat like you would to a woman’s body

  82. A.... M....

    Clapton doesn't play a guitar. He picks it up and the music just pours out.

  83. D.... N....

    on top of all his quality as an artist, he has that style!!! I want that jacket!!

  84. D.... ....

    I can't take Clapton seriously until he starts wearing a beat-up fedora.

  85. A.... N....

    7:59 Damn, that guy played solo with the left-handed guitar without changing the strings :))

  86. S.... G....

    I am suddenly in the mood to celebrate the just some of the beautiful art Sir Clapton created. My Lord, he does quite a lot of it. REAL SWELL AT IT, TOO.

  87. l.... 7....

    where is eric my favorite ?

  88. N.... N....

    Good morning yes love it

  89. M.... W....

    I'm 71 and had the good fortune to spend my college days listening to Cream...they made the insanity of the 1960s tolerable and life worth living, at least for me.

  90. M.... K....

    CLAPTON IS STILL GOD !!!!!!!!

  91. G.... Y....

    rock it, Steve Jordan!! Drummin' powerhouse!
    All hail to the god of SLOW HAND!

  92. G.... H....

    One of my favorites by Eric originally on the Derek and the Dominos Live album. Truly amazing what command and control Eric has over the guitar. I have played this tune on my strat well over 200 times. I never tire of Eric's mastery and how he added funk to this. He is still the Yoda of rock guitarists.

  93. A.... B....

    Can't afford it😭😔

  94. E.... C....

    wish he would come back to Miami!!

  95. M.... S....

    Admired this man for over 50 years and can' t get any better .
    Not to mention the talent that surrounds him .

  96. M.... T....

    ❣💗 I LOVE YOU ERIC💗❣

  97. j.... c....

    My gosh....so much talent in this band

  98. G.... E....

    Dumble overdrive special !!!

  99. c.... v....

    Who is the other guitar player anyone know?

    c.... v....

    Doyle Bramhall
