My boyfriend showed me this song and said it reminded him of me when we first started dating. I had been through a rough year or so before we started dating and had a lot of walls built up and when he showed me this song and told me how it made him feel I felt those walls crumble. 2 years later and we are still going strong. He is the love of my life and this song is going to be played at our wedding one day. Thank you for making beautiful music, Eli Young Band. Music can change a life.
Uhm still listening in 2020 and still remains one of my absolute favorite country songs! Still to this day can’t believe that this song was not more recognized then it was.
I watched them live in Columbia, MO in 2017. My dear friend took me because he knew I LOVED this band and was dying to go. We stood there on 9th street with tears in my eyes and him speechless. He looked at me and said “this is you, do they know you?” Of course y’all don’t, lol. I lost him in January 2019, this song resonates so much deeper since then. Life is 100% different from then, and I wish he was here to see it. I miss my big bro
this song takes me back to 1989 and to a young lady that I shared a few months with. though her name was different, she was guinivere like in this song it stirred a memory that I'll never let go of. thanks for bringing her back for a few sweet minutes.
WOW. This was the first Eli Young Band song I ever heard.. Way back in '08 on CMT. 7 years already. It doesn't seem like its that old, really! Beautiful song, I love how it quavers.
It's about a girl that makes mistakes, but is not quiting. "For as much as she's stumbled, she's running." She's not letting the past decide her future. Her mistakes have made life rough, but she's not going to quit. It's a beautiful song.
At least how I relate and interpret the song. The girl stole the heart but is too afraid of what might come so she's running away and no matter how many times she leaves or keeps running you can't forget her. No matter how much you try...
When my ex bf left me 2 years ago I listened to this all the time, this song was one of the things that got me threw. now and then when something reminds me of him I listen to it until I feel better. a song can mean different things to different people.
She's got a bumper like a billboard Covered in stickers of her favorite bands She's got a handful of records that she turns to When she needs to land She's a Saturday night parade through the streets That all eyes come to see including me She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul That never rolls For as much as she stumbled she's runnin' For as much as she runs she's still here Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven To make the damage of her days disappear Just like Guinevere Just like Guinevere She don't hold onto nothin' new for very long Yeah she writes you in as just one more tale and then you're gone 'Cause she once fell hard 'cause she dropped her guard And no one gets to stay it's just too late For as much as she stumbled she's runnin' For as much as she runs she's still here Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven To make the damage of her days disappear Just like Guinevere Just like Guinevere For as much as she stumbled she's runnin' For as much as she runs she's still here For as much as she stumbled she's runnin' For as much as she runs she's still here Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven To make the damage of her days disappear Just like Guinevere Just like Guinevere Lean into me Guinevere Be mine tonight Guinevere
I remember listening to this song on cmt in 2011 when I lived in abilene Texas during the ice storm in February. I saw them live at the lucky mule a couple years before. Great cover, great band.
This is one of the few songs that really describes me... I can't stop listening to it. This song is amazing and beautiful and I really couldn't picture anybody but the Eli Young Band singing it. Their voice is amazing and all of their songs speak to an audience. They have songs out about life and what people are really feeling. I feel like they will be around for a while. :)
I agree with you on this. The song is about a girl who makes mistakes (stumbles) but keeps running despite her mistakes - running, but not running away from her problems. If she was running away, she wouldn't be here. I think she's facing her grief but not dealing with it. "Looking for something quicker than Heaven" suggests to me that she is considering suicide, but eventually decides not to. I also think the sparklers in the video represent her will to live coming back, fiery and passionate.
I used to be one of 'those women'...from the first time I heard this song, it captured my heart. And yes, women like this are stronger than most give them credit. A truly phenomenal song with a lot of truth & heartache wrapped into a beautiful, haunting song! Should have been a number 1 hit in my book! (And it is, in mine)
Two months since I first saw a comment from you about it and you still can't get over this song - it's obviously struck some kind of a chord for you. Even if it has a negative implication in your life, the song has obviously made an impact. That is good music, even if you hate it.
This has been one of my favorite country songs ever since it was released years ago, and I can’t believe the small amount of attention this song got. Extreeeemely underrated!
GREAT SONG i love the whole song but this is my favorite part - She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul That never rolls
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin', For as much as she runs she's still here, Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven, To make the damage of her days disappear.
This song strikes a chord in me... Everybody stumbles and falls but we all need to try to pick ourselves up and keep moving on... Such beauty in the lyrics.
I found the most complete living Guinevere so perfectly matching the woman this song showed me I'm meant to find. I never willsay more serious words than that I saw my soulmate clearas day every time this song played. The exact one that if some how blessed enough to meet that one person who will ever see this earth that God designed every detail so that we make each other so much better people by the way our best and worst fit into one another in a way causing every single bit of who we are to be perfect for making lives fill with hope again. I had known as soon as we met i had found my Guinevere I just had to gget you to see me as someone to take a chance on one time. I sent you the song. You said how that had been a favorite of yours a long time now. I discovered that both of us had posted it to our facebook 5 plus years ago in the same month. That's enough proof that should get anyone convinced they have to see if they might really be one of the few that gets their forever beside the actual one true love that 99 percent of people are cursed to live their lives longing for While never getting anywhere close to finding before giving up to settle for a half decent person who you feel a earthly desire for as well as feel like you get a worldly purpose from. I don't know how your feeling about us yet but j have no doubt you will see that u have found your perfect life in me and you can let me have all of your self and will have no regrets ever again
Just like Guinevere, I stumbled and ran until I broke myself free! I couldn't be happier of my decision now more than ever. I'm no longer stumbling and neither running. :)
I want to cry but I’m a man so I’m going to hold it in and be tough. I miss you more then ever. It sucks because you’re still alive and we fumbled it. I wish I was in the grave but my cancer in my brain might make it soon but I held it from you to protect you and you cheated while I was going thru the worst
"For as much as she stumbles shes running, for as much as shes runs shes still here, always hoping to find somethin' bigger than heaven. Make the damage of her days disapere." Thats me...
My best friend was going to name her daughter this and her and her unborn daughter passed away in a car accident june 8th 2017 just 3 days before Guinevere was due to be born. Everytime I hear this song I cry because I think of them and I see their faces. I love and miss them sooo much. This song is why she picked the name Guinevere. Hearing this morning makes me think of them yes I'm saddened of the thought but the love I have for them is so much more. Love this song so much
I sincerely hope that your sadness has turned into loving memories of your friend. Its so tragic when things happen to people of that nature... I know the feeling all too well. Hugs from the mountains of Virginia. 💚❤️💚❤️
Wow! I literally have goosebumps. You guys truly are amazing and I absolutely love your music. There are so many others that need your music and I hope one day everyone in the world will know who Eli Young Band is.
If anyone that knows how to let the Eli Young Band know, y'all this song is the song i danced with my now wife while i was on mid-tour leave in 2008. She became my penpal after that and supported me through physical therapy as my friend i started dating her in 2014 we were married in 2015. This song is the happiest place I know to go to on hard days.
I've finally found you... i remember listening to this song one day on the radio, driving down to my Mom's, couldn't get it off my mind, searched for it and could never find it, now I did. It was destiny!!! :D
The first time I heard this song I fell in love with the name. Well two weeks ago I welcome my Guinevere!!!
I had my Guinevere 5 1/2 years ago. :) Congratulations!
Natasha Raymer October 11 2019 😂 Lott’s people had the same idea as me I guess lol
That’s the name I want to use one day 🥰🥰
The first time you heard the name Guinevere was because of this song?
God, pick up a fucking book sometime, you troglodyte.
@@DJynxx You need a hug bud!!
My boyfriend showed me this song and said it reminded him of me when we first started dating. I had been through a rough year or so before we started dating and had a lot of walls built up and when he showed me this song and told me how it made him feel I felt those walls crumble. 2 years later and we are still going strong.

Are y'all still together?
So beautiful! 9 years ago… I hope you having a beautiful life together!
Even after all these years this is still forever my favorite song. Always my anthem song.
Same here ❤️👏🏻🍻
I've commented on this video a million times, but I cannot get over how perfect this song is! I love it.
Love her
Omg please pray 🙏 for me
@@EWG1977 what happened?
It is timeless indeed!
I still Love this song including Eli Young Band!! Dallas Texas Loves Y’all!!! ❤️DFW
she carries memories like suvenirs down in her pockets. She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it.
Sounds like me, those lyrics do.....😥
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven
This needs to be played again on radio. Still one of my favorites.
"Make the damage of her days disappear" is an amazing line! Awesome song from a great band!
why in God's green earth did they take this off of spotify?!?!?!?!?!
Robert Houghton bro i got so mad at that no cap
Even better question is "Why did they stop making music like this?"
I got it from Spotify recently.
It’s back on there for all of y’all lol idk if y’all figured it out by now but it’s back on
Uhm still listening in 2020 and still remains one of my absolute favorite country songs! Still to this day can’t believe that this song was not more recognized then it was.
almost 10 years and this song is still great
IDK WHY I CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS PARTICULAR SONG....
Same, trust me
Because women are beautiful and no matter the circumstance they all hold a very special place in our hearts.
Love this song, it fits so beautifully. . .
Guinevere was King Arthur's wife, she fell for Lancelot
9 years ago you commented on this song I just wanted to comment on your post to bring you back 🤍
@@vanessacoates9128 hopefully she still has the same account
My name is Guinevere
@@DS4F-F4N-Y4Y Same!
I wish this song was back on Spotify
I just heard this song today and tried to put in on my spotify and looked through every guinevere song...im so upset it's gone
It's back on mine! That's how I discovered it :) I'm in South Africa though, so maybe it's location dependent?
This is my favorite song by EYB. I'm a young aspiring singer-songwriter and I hope that someday I'll be able to write such a powerful song.
I watched them live in Columbia, MO in 2017. My dear friend took me because he knew I LOVED this band and was dying to go.
We stood there on 9th street with tears in my eyes and him speechless. He looked at me and said “this is you, do they know you?” Of course y’all don’t, lol.
I lost him in January 2019, this song resonates so much deeper since then.
Life is 100% different from then, and I wish he was here to see it. I miss my big bro
this song takes me back to 1989 and to a young lady that I shared a few months with. though her name was different, she was guinivere like in this song it stirred a memory that I'll never let go of. thanks for bringing her back for a few sweet minutes.
This is one of those amazing songs that tells a story…
❤❤❤
This is my all time favorite song!! Has so much meaning, and emotio
For as much as she stumbles, she's runnin.
For as much as she runs, she's still here. ❤
Wish this was on Spotify!! 😩 I love this song
it is on spotify
That is were I found this song
This song never gets old ♥
WOW. This was the first Eli Young Band song I ever heard.. Way back in '08 on CMT. 7 years already. It doesn't seem like its that old, really! Beautiful song, I love how it quavers.
It's about a girl that makes mistakes, but is not quiting. "For as much as she's stumbled, she's running." She's not letting the past decide her future. Her mistakes have made life rough, but she's not going to quit. It's a beautiful song.
one of my favorite songs of all time 💙
That drummer is loving his job :P I'm loving this song.
I love the “:P” you used :)!
I love this song and video but the drummer at 1:59 never ceases to make me laugh, he looks SO HAPPY
At least how I relate and interpret the song. The girl stole the heart but is too afraid of what might come so she's running away and no matter how many times she leaves or keeps running you can't forget her. No matter how much you try...
In the original video she killed herself, they must have removed the picture showing feet suspended under the bridge
20secondsofcourage1 yes you are so on point.
This is my absolute favorite song of all time!! Not just by Eli Young just my fav period!!!
When my ex bf left me 2 years ago I listened to this all the time, this song was one of the things that got me threw. now and then when something reminds me of him I listen to it until I feel better. a song can mean different things to different people.
This song reminds me of myself. ..
Guinevere is all time favorite eli young band song ever
This song describes my life lately so much.
She's got a bumper like a billboard Covered in stickers of her favorite bands
She's got a handful of records that she turns to When she needs to land
She's a Saturday night parade through the streets
That all eyes come to see including me
She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets
She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it
Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul
That never rolls
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere
Just like Guinevere
She don't hold onto nothin' new for very long
Yeah she writes you in as just one more tale and then you're gone 'Cause she once fell hard 'cause she dropped her guard
And no one gets to stay it's just too late
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere
Just like Guinevere
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere
Just like Guinevere
Lean into me Guinevere Be mine tonight Guinevere
Thanks!
I remember listening to this song on cmt in 2011 when I lived in abilene Texas during the ice storm in February. I saw them live at the lucky mule a couple years before. Great cover, great band.
i swear this is me...thank you Eli Young Band for all the answers
for as much as she stumbles, she's runnin'. for as much as she's runnin' she's still here.
she don't hold on to nothing new for very long. Yeah she'll write you on as just one more spin and then, you're gone.
lyrics to my life.

This song reminds me of myself. Learning how to not run has been very hard. I guess I'm damaged so bad from the old ones I ran the new one off.
you should be strong in not run your past should be let go in live for now n cherish the one ur with
Very true but didn't learn quite soon enough unfortunately but thanks for the advice
+Amy Parish je welkom hope life goes well for you
Thanks same to you
+Amy Parish thanks mine is wonderful
Saw them play this last night after we got to meet them. Great group of guys
This song discribes my life perfectly. Amazing song!!!
me too
I've always felt like it spoke to my soul
I think Eli Young Band is an awesome 😎 band and I wish they would come 🫴 and do a concert up in VT.
I've not heard this song until today. My ears perked up immediately, its original, and I like it
I think the beauty of lyrics is how they speak to each person differently. I see this as a woman who was hurt then hurt others trying to recover.
This has been one of my favorite country songs ever since it was released years ago, and I can’t believe the small amount of attention this song got. Extreeeemely underrated!
I’m ready for some new EYB!! I miss them!!
GREAT SONG

This song hits home. Thank you so much.

Perfection. Plain and simply
This was truly my song!
Beautiful song, thanks guys
They rocked it.
Found this video on my
Old UA-cam account. 13 years later and it still hits 💕✨
Wow ~ such a beautiful song! Great band!
Am I the only one in 2021 still listening to this perfect song?
I do too
when I need a good cry and reflect on my own life... Guinevere.
This song is everything
I want to cry but I’m a man so I’m going to hold it in and be tough. I miss you more then ever. It sucks because you’re still alive and we fumbled it. I wish I was in the grave but my cancer in my brain might make it soon but I held it from you to protect you and you cheated while I was going thru the worst
Getting my feet wet with country in a sense, and I'm glad I'm starting with this group. They are really growing on me. Love it! :]

This song touches my heart
Why it isn’t on Spotify?
Bertha Arellano it used to be!! idk why they took it off

I just stumbled onto this song totally by accident but as soon as I heard it, I knew I liked it. A lot :)
One of my all-time favorites.
man, vevo always the greatest quality, and im really starting to like this song as well.
I went to see Eli Young Band at the rodeo and this song made me cry ! It was such an amazing performance .
Just got a message from someone on Facebook saying that this song is all me...
First time hearing it. &&&~ I gotta say I must agree.
Wow! I literally have goosebumps. You guys truly are amazing and I absolutely love your music. There are so many others that need your music and I hope one day everyone in the world will know who Eli Young Band is.
I love all of the Eli young band songs but this one is one of my favorites!!

This song needs more views.
This song reaches out to the soul,opens it up, and lets every sorrow out.
It brings peace to even the most troubled person
Eli Young band is amazing this song is so perfect and relatable
The drummers facial expressions are freakin priceless, dude is definitely into his music.
i love this song. i just stumbled upon it and it was crazy because guinevere is so uncommon but this made me so happy
If anyone that knows how to let the Eli Young Band know, y'all this song is the song i danced with my now wife while i was on mid-tour leave in 2008.

This song is the happiest place I know to go to on hard days.
I did not know EYB had this many good songs.. All I've known was their singles on the radio but damn such a catchy band!
I think you guys are on the right path, we are right behind ya on the same path! Keep it up guys!
I've finally found you... i remember listening to this song one day on the radio, driving down to my Mom's, couldn't get it off my mind, searched for it and could never find it, now I did. It was destiny!!! :D
Can't wait to see you in the CMA's. Yall are just top notch.
