Eric Church - Record Year (Official Music Video) 

My wife left me almost a month ago, but in her leaving I found myself. Maybe she’ll come back. But all I know is that this year so far has helped me become something better. It WILL be a record year for me

It will be a record year for me. I'm 730 days sober know. I need to call and thank you. Joe Rush thank you for showing me to stay clean. Love you bro.

Today is my record year. I am now 2 years sober. Thank you Eric Church for your song. It makes me strong everytime I listen to it

My wife left me at the beginning of the year. I was terrified that I would fail without her. Since then I've got my own place. Put a hell of a lot of overtime and things are looking up for me. Time for a record year!

Reminds me of times I use to have with my wife and children, after it was all gone.... Well there was nothing more to live for. Come to find out there still something to live for "Felicia Hernandez" and my children that still try hard to learn how live without their mother! Christal Rose Thompson was born Oct 14, 1981 she died Dec. 27, 2023. She was a dedicated mother and always put her children before herself..... Much love Chris.....

Sang it chief, counting on Jesus not a needle to save me though. Glad them chiefs won the Super Bowl even though I don’t have a favorite pro team and just roll with the Tide. Roll Tide Y’all!

It's painful how much this song was me late last year. Wife walked out on me in September and I found a turn table and receiver at a flea market when I was just trying to get out of the house for an afternoon and really got into vinyl. My collection is hardly a "3 foot stack" but it's not bad for a few months. Good news is it's looking like I've found someone who will give me the time of day like I deserved and am moving on just fine now-a-days. All that's left is for her to get the hell out of "my hometown" and all will be right with my world.

I just lost my daddy (USMC)68-74..this song hurts but even more when theres evening's like now.

My wife passed away 15 months ago from pneumonia at 55. You learn to appreciate the petty things you argue about when they are gone.

My fiance passed 3-25 21, and his cd collection has been getting me through... This song fits. 💔

This song reminds me of my husband that passed away of suicide. All the songs that he talks about and writes about it's pretty much what I've been going through. So if I do ever see you again my dear sweet husband you owe me a beer. I love and miss you. And I love you Eric Church you are an awesome Entertainer

I can't wait to meet You, Mr Church. I lost you for awhile & God knows it shows. I'm grateful to have heard your voice this morning on the radio & said out loud: "i need more Church in my life."

Not sure why but I will NEVER get sick of this song. It is absolutely amazing. He really gets his emotions across.

having a record year myself ...got to meet my son for the first time last September and was reunited with him and him mom after 24 years of my own struggles with drug and alcohol LIFE IS GREAT.

"I'm counting on a needle to save me. I drop it in a groove and it goes round and round and down in a spiral." That second verse is lyrical magic!

I lost all I love from drugs but I went through hell but I found Jesus Christ an mee and I thank you and God for where I am and thank all the people along the way because with out them and JC I would never be here Jonny brooks

Eric Church definitely doesn't get the recognition he deserves, what amazing talent.

Counting on a needle to save me.. hits hard... Perception is reality.. and the truth is I counted on a needle to save me for twenty years.. sixty days clean!!!

Eric Church is a prime example of what country should be!!!

This dude is an absolutely amazing story teller. Huge talent!

My husband of 24 years woke up one day and decided being married wasn't what he wanted anymore..it literally broke me. A year has passed and I'm a better, stronger person because of it. I listen to this song and it's just like wow; what a difference one year can do for you

Hard to keep pushin going through all I been through, didnt graduate HS, job let me off cause of it, now cant pay my bill's and lost my HS sweet heart after 5 year's together. Lost grandma before chrismas and I lost my best friend to cancer too. I heard this song today wile fishing and I lost it. I am having a record year, praying every night to the good man upstair's for some hope and a break of this. Eric, you speak in your song's, God bless

Lost my 3 year old son due to CHD this song helps bring me down on the worst of days gotta love people that create stuff like this. God bless .

I remember first hearing this song towards the end of 2015. My fiancé who I had spent 9 years with had left me in January of that year for a coworker of hers and I had no clue how to cope. I spent 9 plus months getting drunk and high every day to numb the pain. I eventually met my now wife in March 2016 & and she stuck with me while I sorted shit out. I can still have a drink or two but I’ve been clean for 6 years 10 months & 1 day thanks to her. This song was the sight that taught me it would be ok and when I met my now wife I knew it to be true. Even though it reminds me of sad times I still love this song because it’s a symbol for how strong a humans will can be to overcome even the worst situations possible.

Michael Cantu thank you for serving. Praying your life gets better. My Father served in USAF Korean War may he RIP. You are a hero in my eyes! Keep pushing.

Years later I can say we BOTH had a record year, and thanks for sharing with me the grief and the pain you felt. It matched it. You're an incredible artist! ❤

Man it's like every hit this dude comes out with is a mini story of a part of my life. Round Here Buzz, Taledega, Jesus Does, and this song especially, I can relate a part of my life to all of them.

My eyes are red My heart is blue When I listen to Church My neighbors do too... This whole dirt road is having a record year

I went down that path 34 years ago and God gave me the woman of my dreams. Don't ever give up. Life is what we make of it.

Chief is the Johnny Cash of our time, hands down.

my life ain't been that great. I'm only 15 and I already realized u got to make the good moments great and make the bad moments bearable.

Who's here in August 2020 having a record year? 🍻

Eric is so original and authentic... and so underrated unfortunately his albums are incredible and deep and makes you think so beautiful

Started jan 1st 2019 in the mental hospital with severe depression... unable to adjust from my last relationship that ended in 2017. Here I am, its may, about to finish finals for welding and a certified technician for Valvoline. 5 months... there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Most of his songs had a message full of hope, courage and love keep up the good work Eric god bless you .

I spent a year devastated and realized I was now in control so I got a farm and a bunch of animals that love me

Eric Church is probably the last country artist from the mid 2000s that hasn't sold out. Eric is by far my favorite, but it makes me sad that all the others have sold out. It sucks Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, and Dierks Bentley all of them used to be great. All of their first albums were awesome. Jason's first three albums could go head to head with some of Eric's. And Luke Bryan has one of my favorite songs of all time "What Country Is". Just a shame! But the Chief is still the Chief. Eric is the last of a dying breed.

If I ever came across my ex again, I'd most definitely buy him a beer. Thanks to what he put me through, I was able to summon the bravery to live my best life. Once you've looked the devil in the eye, pretty much everything else is within your ability to overcome. Cheers to you, bud :)

This song should be the anthem of 2020. It’s certainly a record year.

My kids father (she is 5 ) passed away . We went through so much from an addiction to me having to leave him to be clean and a mother to my kids he never had the strength to face his demons and get clean well he is gone now but he always sang this song to me (sounds just like him ) so I’m just hear crying missing him wanting to hear him sing to me again ❤️

When you left me at the altar the day before I left out of state to go work for our family...this song got me through it all. The 6 months I was gone. Every single day this song gave me the strength to get by. So if you find your way back I owe you a beer, for my record year. 🍺

In 2016 I went through the most painful time of my life and this song, this man helped me through that horrible time. My husband left me for another woman and I miscarried our baby. 😢 I've always wanted to thank Eric and give him a hug! ✌️

I swear every song Eric makes is absolute gold! He's without a doubt my favourite artist.

Yeah Michelle, left me. I wasn't good enough, I wasn't the better man. Then I remembered I have an Angel, and she loves me. She is my one true genuine love, just ask her.

"I usually make it thru Side A sober, all bets are off when I flip her over, one bourbon, one scotch, one beer... I'm having a record year" Out-fuckin'-standing lyrics! Church hits home, and hard. Beautiful song that conjures up endless memories of years and experiences past. Nice to see that some of today's country stars adhere to the Old School way of songwriting and presentation, as opposed to the "Hick Hop" so prevalent in what's passed off as today's "Country music". Side note: I see many people on the board here crying about Metallica records being "ruined" for this video. How about acknowledging Eric's nod to George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers as well as Willie Nelson!

The effect with the records was absolute genius by far my favorite music video.

ERIC will make u think about your whole life in just one of his songs...!

Jesus loves you and died on the cross for our sins so we can have eternal life with Him in Heaven. All we have to do is put our faith in Jesus and turn from our evil ways of sin.

This was my year after my fiance passed away from cancer...lost myself... Ironically our last date the night before he was diagnosed was an Eric Church concert. The next morning we got the news.. two months later he was gone. :(.

The man is a lyrical genius

I'm not big on country unless it's older country. This new generation sounds the same. However Mr Eric Church has a unique Melody and I gotta say I love quiet a few of his songs. This be one of them!!!

Before my wife left me, I mostly listened to talk radio. Not long after she left, I quit listening to talk and listened to all types of music stations that I wouldn't normally listen to. I rediscovered this song recently and realized this has been my record year.

I listened to over 200 albums last year, and this song, out of thousands, was my 10th favourite song of 2016, and it gets even better every time I hear it, fantastic!

This song helped me realize the source of my pain and even though there are no do overs I am able to own my shortcomings and where I failed myself , a seven year plus long lesson in life to make certain I never lose sight or gratitude for my blessings. I have been waiting for this year to end and so thankful I am moving forward.

My son went to prison 10 years and when he was up for trial i listan to Luke Bryan Drink a Beer and after he was sentenced

All bets are over when I flip her over!!! Thank you for this powerful song that has helped so many of us with our recoveries!!!

I’m Definitely having a record year. Best year of my life. This song makes me realize how thankful I should be and how Blessed I am. Keep it up Eric.

Thanks Eric this song is for my husband who passed away in 2/28/2016. It gets me through the night

If you have never seen this guy in concert you are missing out

Some people change overtime. The woman you once loved has turned into your biggest nemesis and critic. The chemistry and emotional connection is broken. Time to move on and recharge....

The one. The only. Eric Church..What a talent.. Feeling very fortunate to exist at the same time as this guy!

Eric will you marry me? Will you sing to me.? Have mercy

Well, since it's not about a girl, a truck, and rows of corn this is just one more single from Eric Church that country radio will hardly play and Eric will get nominated for song of the year but won't win. This is my favorite song on the album right next to "Knives of New Orleans" and "Round Here Buzz." Can't wait to see him when his tour starts.

Oh... and as it is written... you will follow the law.... but do not do as they do.

this song was my life i admit that! this song was the old me until i found my woman keyana! i now have been with her for 4 years, and we have 1 baby boy he is now 16 months! he is the reason i quit doing hard drugs! we are buying our first house so our son wont have to struggle like we did growing up! i hope that and love are enough to keep him off of drugs and not follow my footsteps

Eric is the new outlaw now that the greatest has past away.He is the new Waylon!

“loves got a funny way of keeping score”… indeed it does. stay patient boys, it’ll all work out in the end

May 31st 2023 I will be 3 years SOBER. One day at a time!! I decided to work on me and push those toxic people away from me and out of my life. I decided to have a RECORD YEAR!! I chose not to use. I chose a happy healthy sober life. Thank you Eric Church for your support and your song

if u ever at that point where you don't know what song to listen to turn on some Eric Church

My dad went to work over a half a year ago and I haven't seen him he sent me the song to listen to ever since I was a baby he sing me the song think back so many memories of my dad

This song is so poignant to my life right now, just broke up after 7 years with my girlfriend with whom no words in the human language could explain the heartache or the love I had... and this song singlehandedly is picking me up from depression daily and motivating me to have a record year! keep kicking ass Eric!

Remember brothers, the best way to get over a girl is to get under a new one....she will make tou forget the heartbreak and heartache....if even for a brief moment Keep your head guys.....heels down, chin up, straight thru Hell....youll come out a brand new man Stay away from the bottle, put God first and pray often

I think its hilarious, that i dropped out of high school, worked in a factory for 14 years ,then became a truck driver, and make more than most of my former classmates, even the ones that went to college..

This song has gotten me through so much. I almost feel like this song was written for me. Thank you Eric.

This N.C boy is BADASS !!!

You may never have read a word hear. But Thank You for Being A Good Man that Stands up for everyone. Thank you for my Record Year. Got a life. Do not live on my phone. But never giving up your music. Happy Thanksgiving Giving to you and your family. I couldn’t have made it without God giving me your music. ❤️🎶😘🙏

This man is a remarkable artist... I've never heard a song sung by him that I didn't love ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Keep em' coming Eric... ❤ ❤ ❤

You've got to love how the magic of music can transform the perception that you are currently living in

One of the most talented Country artists out there. Wish more would follow suit and make music they're proud to make. Stop selling out to pop country to have 1 or 2 hits and never be heard of again. Make something you stand by, and you'll stand much longer. -Lorenzo

I lost my daughter. Keep up the fight. I do t care what anybody tells you. You do matter.

How to convey the deepest, unfathomable, scene of emotional soaring.... . I cannot express my gratitude for your musical ability and display. It is my purest delight. Thank you for simply being real. Words elude me, as they’re insufficient in they’re ability to convey the emotional spring that I experience whilst enjoying your performance. Thank you. From the deepest reaches of this realities ability.

When my husband committed suicide I was so bitter that he did that to me and left me I was so confused. In a comical way I was having a record year because music was the only way I made it through it. I blasted this song that entire year.

I'm almost 36 and I never liked country. I live deep down in Georgia and I remember when I was pregnant with my 7 year old daughter, I heard a song from Eric church on the radio and I've been in love with country since then. That's all I listen to now is country and Mexican music.. Eric church is gonna be my husband one day... Maybe in my next life 😂

Don’t ever search for love. Love yourself, love will come to you 💖

Seeing all the Metallica records just made me like Eric that much more.

When that bass hits.......man i love America, country and this band.

Sorry for your loss brother!Wish he could have been here for your success!😢

Since you turned the tables on me I've been steady and learnin' lonely Keepin' this turntable spinnin' Everything from Jones to Jennings Slowly plannin' my survival In a three foot stack of vinyl Since you had to walk on outta here I've been havin' a record year I bet you thought before you left I'd just sit in silence by myself Turn this house into a jail Dyin' slow in a livin' hell But love's got a funny way of keepin' score And your leavin' lit up my scoreboard I usually make it through side a sober All bets are off when I flip her over One bourbon, one scotch, one beer I'm havin' a record year Quarter notes and Hank's half time Are poundin' on this heart of mine Song to song, I pass my time With these speakers on ten Your good and gone keeps me up all night Along with Songs In The Key Of Life I'm either gonna get over you Or I'm gonna blow out my ears Yeah, you're out there now Doin' God knows how, and I'm stuck here Havin' a record year Your leavin' left me goin' crazy I'm countin' on a needle to save me I drop it in the groove And we go 'round and 'round And down in a spiral I guess I really oughta call and thank you I rediscovered Red Headed Stranger Got down with old James Brown And found New Grass Revival If you find your way back, I owe you a beer For my record year Quarter notes and Hank's half time Are poundin' on this heart of mine Song to song, I pass my time With these speakers on ten Your good and gone keeps me up all night Along with Songs In The Key Of Life I'm either gonna get over you Or I'm gonna blow out my ears Yeah, you're out there now Doin' God knows how, and I'm stuck here Havin' a record year Yeah, I'm havin' a record year ❤️🤠🎧

Thank god for Eric Church as it gives people who love real country music in this generation something to look forward to, and to be able to say to our young children This is country music.

Worlds best underrated song in country music right now. Right behind Mind Reader.

It's 2:34am. I decided to read some emails. Oh ERIC☆♡ not a chance will I stop♡ I'll go back to sleep with "Your Mellowing Music"☆☆☆ I have to get up for the office shortly! Tyvm for your message♡ Merry Xmas ~ Be Safe

Five years ago when I was going through my divorce this song was just what I needed to keep my head up

I routinely come back to this song after a break up. Its got the perfect mixed of bittersweetness and hopefulness. I need that.

May 2021 be a record year

DId Eric Church live his songs? Or is he simply an entertainer with a gift? I am a recovering drug addict, and continual drinker, and a lot of his songs sound like you'd have to live it to know it.

Best song of 2016 no doubt

2020 and still rocking out to this perfect song

"And your leaving lit up my score board !" Best thing I've ever heard !!

this describes how I got through my divorce 12 yrs ago, and how I get through tough days now . . . Can't sing, and can't play a note, but music does get me through the days.

now this is what country's supposed to sound like.
