Eli Young Band - Even If It Breaks Your Heart

[@Dr.Gainzzz]

This is one of those songs that will find you in the exact time you need it to. “Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart”

[@RoundedNutzGarage]

Pov: me rn😭

[@momo-br4cz]

Every.damn.time

[@Jaxenphillips]

Real

[@dtate01]

I listened to this while studying for my EMT license exam. The song hit harder after I failed the exam the first time. It was the first song I played after I passed it and knew I was gonna fulfill a dream.

[@biscottihottie37]

Thats exactly me right now lol

[@Hidihidihidiho]

That is a very hard test and I am so thankful that people like you are striving to reach that goal. Keep your head up and thank you for going through what you have to become a life saver.

[@laceybrown2798]

This was always a favorite song of mine. I am disabled and wanted to be a cook since I was 15 I didn't think it was going to happen until at 27 I interviewed to be a busser at a restaurant and ended up as a dish Prep cook instead it took 4 years and Covid until I got to be a cook so I've been a cook for 7 months now and I'm 32 I was 15

[@robertbalch4974]

Right on !! Congratulations. Thank you for what you do .

[@travissloan5296]

This song came on when we were on the bus on the way to family night at basic training. Everyone on the bus was singing. It was one of the most genuine moments I’ve had in my entire life, I think about it every time I hear this song.

[@jamesmartinez6767]

Thank you for serving

[@DariusWolfePlaysGames]

😆Bunch of dumbasses... I recently found a bunch of pictures I took in OSUT, and seeing those young faces, pretty much all of whom I've long since lost touch with, brought a smile to my face, even if I was never super popular. I wonder how many of them went the full 20+ like I ended up doing, and I wonder how many of them died along the way.

[@mrwoody1413]

I can’t believe this song only has 19m views.. it deserves much more than that.. I used to play this song constantly back in the day.

[@hexkobold9814]

The original by Will Hoge deserves all that and more

[@YR-uc3gj]

I agree! Great band.

[@UNKNOWNPLAYZZZ]

My dad used to listen to this all the time Eli was one of his favorites, Played in my work today didn’t know weather to be happy or break down. God bless everyone who reads this and pray we are all okay

[@LorenLAustin]

This song reminds me so much of my musician son. Growing up, I couldn't give him much, but someone gave him a guitar, and he taught himself to play. Those words, "I can hear the ringin' of a beat-up old guitar" always brings tears to my eyes, because I remember him practicing, playing the old songs, Johnny Cash, John Denver, when he was first learning. Our house was filled with music. Some of the sweetest days of my life. ❤️

Roman’s 10;9 If you profess by mouth Jesus is Lord and believe God raised him from the dead you will be saved

[@DontWant2LoseControlByEpilepsy]

”that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

[@zenithial3757]

Will easily become a classic. A lovely song.

So I just turned 15, it's sad they don't play this song on the radio anymore, I remember riding with my dad in his mustang and hearing this song(it was my favorite) and it still is one of my top 3 to this day. By the way anyone listening to this in 2018 by any chance?

[@davidcarson7855]

yes

[@merakki]

Cherish that life slips away young man.

[@kelseywhitcomb8560]

This song is the extended hand I need, when the world is kicking me while I'm down.

[@robertg2760]

Sadly, that's what the world does to all of us when we are down. God bless.

[@OstrichChick]

I haven't heard this song for ages and it's one of my favorites!!! It has literally kept me going when I've thought there was nothing to go on for.

[@brysonpparrish2839]

Same here man. I miss them Good days

[@60eyewatcher]

Better days are coming!! There is ALWAYS something or someone to go on living for.....

[@sgtzack612]

Yep.

[@tomtraynor5384]

Thank Will Hoge.

[@evwo9621]

Scott Campbell agree

[@seiryu84]

I was walking around a farming store today and this song came on. I hadn't heard it in years, but I used to listen to it constantly. It triggered an inspiration in me that I'd long lost, a drive to continue working towards goals and dreams that feel just out of reach. This song always gives me that little push I need to keep moving.

[@jfire8934]

Keep pushing, the world needs you!

[@clsieczka]

Always remember, the step right next to , before success , is failure.

[@teray45]

About 2006...at frontier city,an amusement park,in Oklahoma City,a little known band back then named Eli Young Band.Hot summer evening,not a lot of people showed up,a summer shower,didn’t know if the rides would resume,These guys fkn killed it! I knew from then on to keep an eye out for them! And, I wasn’t wrong either! 😉 hella great group! Go see them! You’ll be pleasantly impressed!!!! I’m 55 now,and really back then not much would impress me,but, I have to admit these guys did.Thank You again Eli Young band,some great memories!👍

[@joeblough261]

This song opened the pilot episode of Nashville in 2012, as the camera showed incredible aerial footage of the beautiful locations in and around Nashville, TN. I just went to the Nashville In Concert Reunion show the other day and the whole cast opened the show with this song. It was so F'n cool.

[@ChemicalRainMusic]

this is truly the song i resonate with the most. i grew up with a very musical family. they never necessarily pushed me to be a musician, i just picked up on it and it turned into a passion. when i saw the haygoods show in branson, mo, i knew for sure that one day i wanted to be just like them, making people smile on the stage of a packed theater in branson. slowly but surely, ill get somewhere one day, even if i gotta start with low quality youtube covers with nothing but a phone. keep on dreamin even if it breaks your heart ❤️

[@adrenalinejunkie444]

This is the sort of song you can listen to a thousand times and not get bored of

[@robbiepreble5974]

True XD It’s like one of my favorites Stereo Heart and Lights except better cuz of the attachment

[@markforster6457]

1,000 times in a row and a little louder each time!

[@joekhatib3798]

This song carries a powerful message, I still remember the first time I heard it ten years ago.🤔

[@stevenbrown7042]

This song helped give me the courage to start my own business. Now I’ve got one truck and make a comfortable living. My real inspirations are my dad and my uncle who taught me the carpentry trade.

[@nomad548]

I'm getting old and probably a lot softer God knows.....but this video sends out an awesome message. Never quit!

[@whiskeysoul89]

man when that chorus kicks in I get chills everytime

[@bokkebokke7]

When this song came out, I was going through a bad patch with a friend who had become toxic and abusive towards me. Every time she’d get pissed at me or tried to put me down for wanting better for myself, I always heard this playing.

[@averysimmons7202]

One of the most underrated bands ever

[@expertsoda4525]

Your underrated

[@ShadyNeon]

They’re not underrated this song isn’t even written by them

[@StrawberyBubbleCakes]

I love how you can see when he sings it he's almost walking through his memories of pursuing his dream, telling you to keep on trying, because none of the truly great people out there started in convienient circumstances

[@raigirl1983]

2021 and several heartbreaks later: still dreaming!

[@nelsonrojasjr]

You're not alone! Keep on marching, keep your head up high!

[@Cadavra]

Keep your head up🤘🏼

[@jonasilva3483]

[@SavageSquash896]

Hell yeah! Keep Dreaming!!!

[@GentlemenJack109]

@Loves to Spooge facts.

[@abelcheng2073]

I first heard this song in 2015 when I was working. I was in a dead end job with no plan for the future. This song made me remember a dream I had when I was a kid, to become a soldier. I kept grinding at the job for three years until something happened. It ended with my aunt deciding to get me out of this slump and move to a better life. She helped me get in shape and I enlisted 27 August 2019. Right now, I am living the dream that I wanted to be as a kid. And from then on, I keep on dreaming on going far in the army. And yes, even if it breaks my heart in the end.

[@Usuarionoexiste2]

This song man. This song. Is just something. Good vibes

[@annaevans736]

My names Anna Adrianna Helene Evans nice sweet kind woman im just trying make friends I live in

[@therifleman8303]

Great song, great video to accompany it too!

[@coopaloopmex]

One of my top 10 songs of all time. I don't quite know what I love this, but I really enjoy the message, the video, the song

[@alishamoreau4124]

I really needed to hear this. I am a healthcare worker going through the COVID pandemic and my dad getting heart surgery. It’s enough to make me rethink furthering my career. But then I heard this song and it gave me hope. Thank you ELI YOUNG BAND!!!

[@robbiepreble5974]

Riots are happening in my city. The nurses have begun to rightfully revolt XD But seriously, what does that say about teachers 😂

Roman’s 10;9 If you profess by mouth Jesus is Lord and believe God raised him from the dead you will be saved

[@jialimitless]

I was on my internship in the USA last year and I came across this friend from Colombia who let me listen to this song and since then, whenever I come across this song, it reminds me of that good friend.

[@ellenturman1731]

"keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart"

[@Bluepoint_J]

Only one thing I gladly received from apple was digital copy of this song. I didn't even heard any country song before (just because it's not major genre in korea) and I'm not listening other country song now. I think this song has a power to inspire my life and keep motivates me under hard circumstances. This song's album is still the only country song of my bookshelf, and I think It deserves.

[@AubreyDuncan-f2b]

I seen them in concert for 4 of July it was so good ❤

[@Brandon-gg3rt]

I really did enjoy Eli Young Band's cover I just wish more people would recognize Will Hoge for the great song he and Eric Paslay have written for us all to enjoy.

[@mésadirad]

This is still my favorite song. Even though it's a little old, it is still one of the best songs.

[@JereWilkerson]

This song has got me through some very rough times . Thank guys for writing this one.

[@janice.the.menacegibson4826]

I can't believe this song is this old!

[@thomasstewart-tm2ts]

This honestly maybe my favorite country song of all time! After so many years since I first heard it. Still hits me in the feelings. Some might give me crap about it. But to me this will forever be a classic!

[@renew2848]

@rusty, absolutely agree!

[@ironloins]

People who give u crap bout this song are crap themselves

[@stephaniepantera]

It’s a beautiful song ❤

[@blacknailofficial2823]

Thank you for this song guys, I just saw the video and the scene where the kid asks for an autograph prompting the guy not to give up on his music was the inspiration I needed.

[@Kim-okiepb8h]

I’ve loved this song since first hearing it!!❤️‍🔥 Country music needs to still be playing this song!! I can remember when I first heard it on the radio!❤️ Keep up the great job!!❤️🤍💙

[@robbiepreble5974]

98.3 still plays it rarely

[@buckaroocowboy7223]

I love how much energy the musicians produce, they just look like they're having a great time.

[@markforster6457]

Excellent song and excellent video!

[@kellyhouk9478]

I just stumbled on this song and I haven’t heard it in so long!! It brings back so many memories of a wonderful time in my life many years ago. I used to jam to this song over and over when I was about 10-12 years old. Never knew the true meaning til I started playing music myself. Definitely going to learn this song on guitar now. Love this so much!

[@timm9336]

OMG! This song will always put a tear in my eye & get my ass moving! Such a genuine heartfelt song. On my all time favorites list

[@ironloins]

Awesome song, didnt realize it was as old as it is

[@thatgraysuburban]

I had this blasting at almost full blast on the radio 4 hours ago because it’s such a good song and this song came out the year of my graduation

[@TinoTavian2]

I'm so surprised that this song came out 10 years ago this music makes my day 🙂

[@whatsupsydney7381]

This is one of my favorite songs ever! I'm a southern girl born and raised. So this is all I ever heard on the radio for a long time

[@jaeneavasmith5585]

I love this song it feel like the good old days when kids use to be kids and adults use to just be stressful and just live a life that full of joy ❤😊

[@olikat8]

This song came out when my baby daughter 4 years old. She would sing the chorus perfectly...as she has grown she has kept dancing, playing drums, and performing. Just did 3 shows as a main character and people were shocked that she could sing that well & strong (same people would probably fall over if they ever heard her speak Russian or Ukrainian, too). Made her laugh, but this song takes me right back to her in the backseat singing her heart out

[@caseysmith1013]

This song speaks volumes to me

[@mistykitchen9515]

If you want to listen to this song in 2021 it’s on the “This is Eli Young Band: Greatest Hits” CD! In fact I have the CD myself!

[@itzwolfgangplayz9360]

It's been a long while since I've heard this song, and it all of a sudden, the tune came into my head yesterday. Still one of the best country songs- if not the best country song, in the decade.

Anyone still listening to this song in 2020? One of my favorites 😊

Just heard this on the radio today never really gave this song mutch thought for some reason until I heard it today. I would not be where I am today if I didn't give things a second chance. Even my wildest dreams I never thought I would end up with the job I have and have two CCNAs and working on a CCNP. First CCNA took me two tries on the second test I almost said forget it but didn't.

Great song indeed! Even If If Breaks Your Heart Lyrics Ely Young Band Way back on the radio dial A fire got lit inside a bright eyed child Every note just wrapped around his soul From steel guitars to Memphis all the way to rock n roll Ohh ohh I can hear em playing I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar Ohh ohh I can hear em singing Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart Downtown is where I used to wander Old enough to get there but too young to get inside So I would stand out on the sidewalk Listen to the music playing every Friday night Ohh ohh I can hear em playin I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar Ohh ohh I can hear em singing Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart Some dreams stay with you forever Drag you round and bring you back to where you were Some dreams keep on getting better Gotta keep believing if you wanna know for sure Ohh ohh I can hear em playin I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar ohh ohh I can hear em singing Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart (x2) Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart Oh oh oh Keep on dreaming Oh oh oh Don't let it break your heart Read more: Eli Young Band - Even If If Breaks Your Heart Lyrics | MetroLyrics

I had hope like this once. That time has passed though. As my family gets older I can see the end clearer than I can see the beginning. I've known I would die of my own hand since I was 17 and my eyes were opened to the truth of the world that surrounded me. When the time comes I will be prepared to answer the call. I only hope my Lord accepts me regardless of my mistakes.

[@sageslayer7045]

This song reminds me of my oldest sister that passed away 3 years ago on my birthday and every time I here this song I cry this was her favorite song.😔

Mike Murph Wouldn't it be, "improperly spelled"? Or just "misspelled"? It's kinda like saying "also" at the beginning of a sentence, and then "as well" at the end. I always thing grammar comments are funny cause I don't think people care about spelling unless you're in Wisconsin.

[@iwannacommentonstuff]

+Mike Murph Wouldn't an "improper misspelling" be a word spelled correctly? Logically, the only way to improperly misspell a word is to spell it correctly.

My younger daughter was very young when this came out. She would sit in the back and sing along in her "Little girl" voice- these days she is a bit older. But plays drums like an absolute fiend and has a great singing voice; it's not the focus of her schooling, but we are moving to NC and we chose the neighborhood in large part because the high school in that area is academically strong and has a great performing arts/music program. Every time I hear this song, I am reminded how prophetic this song was- if I ever meet Eli Young I'd shake his hand

[@dirtyjamsgot1795]

It's really strange that I don't like country music at all, except this one song. I heard it by chance and honestly, it's amazing.

In the summer of 2012 I took a month-long roadtrip across several Western and Midwestern states. This song was playing on the radio as I pulled up to the Buddy Holly/Richie Valens/Big Bopper plane crash site in northern Iowa, and it was one of those moments where the music you're listening to perfectly fits your circumstances. "Ohh ohh , I can hear 'em playing, I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar Ohh ohh, I can hear 'em singing... keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart"
