Eric Church - Springsteen (Official Music Video) 

Hearing this song after 8 years and the line "Funny how a melody sounds like a memory" just hit right in the feels. 🥺

I was 19 my pregnant girlfriend sleeping with her head on my chest as this song played in her living room. I miss you. I love you and our daughter. May those memories be forever.

Hey Eric if you are reading this I wanna say thank you. I use to listen to this song and watch the music video on tv at my great grandparents house when my mom was bad on drugs. You helped me through a terrible time in my life and your music and this song use to bring me so much light. Now I listen to it I can feel what I felt then and seen how much I have grown. Now I'm in the army and left that life behind. THANK YOU

I moved to Colorado, 2011, went through some hard times, I was a free lance photographer. After hopping around jobs, I took my camera and a portfolio I had built to a local camera shop, the owners name was Rich. It started as an interview, and turned into a conversation, he hired me on the spot, after a 3 hour conversation. Everyone else had been working for him for a minimum of 5 years. They all took me in like family. I was 22, had just packed up my life and left. This song played on his playlist for the store at least 3 times a day. I grew to hate it, I moved back to Seattle about 2015, Rich died in his sleep, due to an unknown reason at the time. My prior co workers contacted me and I broke down. I immediately bought a plane ticket, and a song I had not heard for years came on the radio. It was his favorite song. This song. Rich, I love you man. You took me in when I was young and stupid. You changed my life forever. A melody is really a memory.

Be 50 soon. I have basically lived this song. Fell in love with a girl out of highschool that didn't work out for whatever reason. But, I will say this, I'm glad it didn't. I ended up marrying someone much better and I love her so much more than anyone else I was ever with. Just when you think life has sold you short. God shows up and reminds you who's in charge of this crazy world...

Amazing how a song can take you so far back and want to relive the past.

It’s hard to imagine this song came out 9 years ago, but it’s still one of the best songs ever written

When I hear Springsteen, it brings me back to the 80s. I would sell my soul to go back to this time period. Eric nailed this song! Love it.

My brother passed away this past July 2013. This was one of his favorite songs. Maybe because when he was 17 I got my jeep and he helped my husband work on it. Idk. But I know he LOVED this song and now whenever I hear this song, 98% of the time when I hear it, I'm driving in my jeep so I'd like to think he's riding shotgun protecting me and my children. Love and miss you, Christian!! Xoxo

I’m not a big fan of country in general. But this song, this masterpiece will forever bring joy to me and others.

I think this song right here can go under the category of most legendary memorable songs of all time. After you listen once, seems like you know every lyric, note, chord. Man this is great

Who is listening to this amazing song in 2024 Edit:never had that many likes or replies on a comment before tysm 290 and 16 Edit 2 thanks for 415 likes and 25 comments also I have a RU-vid channel

I remember when this came out and I had this song on repeat for hours and hours at night. I couldn't stop hearing different details in it every time, and it kept making me want to cry... This is one of the only songs that ever used to give me any sort of emotional response and to this day it still hits me the same way :)

I’ve listened to Bruce Springsteen my entire life. I was introduced to him at 8 years old by my father, I listened to him my entire senior year on the train ride to and from school, I’ve been listening to him all through college. He’s been a mainstay in my life more than almost every friend but one. I love hearing tributes to him from other artists because it makes me realise how revered he is, not just by his adoring fans, but other artists too. He’s Americas favourite son, and the rest of the world loves him also!

I've always loved this song, but my favorite line is "Funny how a melody, sounds like a memory..." It's just the absolute truth 💯!! Any song I listen to, can take me back to the person, place or time, in a heartbeat ❤

This song takes me back to when I lived in a small town, was 16, was chasing a girl, going to parties, sneaking out, and just living a childhood of wilderness and excitement I miss it all so much and I miss that girl so much thank you Eric church I love you

After doing about five minutes of research, I found that this video was shot in Elgin Texas! So, to the small town of Elgin, THANK YOU! This song was written because of the love we have for America and places like yourself and the love we have for the amazing people that grow up in your small but I'm sure nurturing communities.

this song will never get old

still great music 2024

An Indian from a remote corner in India. Avid country music fan. A pity that I discovered this gem so late. Was stuck with "Kill a word" up untill a few years ago but somehow didn't explore Eric Church's discography much. Boy oh boy. Better late than never. On a loop. When you nonchalantly say "Springsteen", it sends a rush of blood to my heart ❤️ What an artist you are ❤️

No country song makes my heart feel likes it's being squeezed as Springsteen does. It brings some of the best memories I can only wish to relive. Thank you Church!

Eric church doesn't care about what genre he is considered he just makes music that he likes which is why I like him he doesn't do it to be cool he does it because it's his thing

This song is a lyrical masterpiece. The line, “funny how a melody, sounds like a memory” is a line that truly captures the entire song.

i have a 17 year old brother who is special needs, he listen to this song everyday at least once. If there was a way to see how many of the views on this video was him, I would totally wanna know. He isn’t able to talk as well as everyone else but he sure does know every word to this song.

I will never forget this song as long as I live. The first time I heard this song, I was 17 years old on a mountain view looking over Livermore, California in the middle of July. And I was in the passenger seat of my ex girlfriends Grand Cherokee. Whenever I hear this song, that image will always come to my mind. Great song.

For those who don't know: Bruce Springsteen is a man that helped rock and roll become what it is. Eric references many of his songs in this song. I'm on Fire, Born in the U.S.A., and Born to Run are a few I heard. I think I also heard Glory Days.

2023 and it's my first time hearing this song. I thought it was a new release. I might be 11 years late, but let me tell you, this is a perfect time in my life to hear it. Good heart music.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh...this part towards the end gives me chills

This is my grandmas favorite song and we finally found it and I showed it to her today and she was so happy! It made me so happy! :))

Saw Eric Church tonight, was one of the most memorable nights of my life

This song just brings up a real emotion I can’t explain, is it sad, happy, remorse, idk

Never gets old. I remember this song like yesterday.

This is one of the best country songs of all time.

All hail Bruce Springsteen! It's refreshing to know that there artists out there, like Eric, who acknowledge greatness. Music today is such shit. This song kicks ass.

This song came out 10 years ago? Still feels like it just came out today! A timeless classic ! My favorite line: I bumped into you by happenstance, you probably wouldn't even know who I am. But if I whispered your name, I bet still be a spark ♥️

We were 17, I had a jeep, her parents loved Springsteen, and we fell in love on summer Saturday nights. It's like he watched us. 20 years ago, today.

I honestly had no clue who Eric Church was until I heard this song on the radio, and I instantly fell in love with him! Ugh I love you Eric Church! ♥

this song is amazing. i'm 17. it's mid July. Me and my gf are having a blast. I wish this never ends.

Who still listening to this 2024 me 👍

I'm from India. Haven't ever been to the US but i get a very profound feeling after listening to this song. One day I'll visit the US. Glory to the US❤️

Not your average country song Eric Church does a good job at sticking out from most other country artists and has unique qualities. Springsteen and Give Me Back my Hometown are my favorites by him.

RICK SPRINGFIELD wrote the song BRUCE and now ERIC CHURUCH writes the song SPRINGSTEEN both great songs

This song makes me so nostalgic something I never even had. The best advice I can give to a young man is don't be afraid to make those memories. You're gonna wish you had them when you get older.

In this video how u played the guitar to this day I try to play the guitar like you. U inspired me to play the guitar like that I want to be a good singer like u one day and ty just for being here❤

a nice tribute to the greatest musician ever.

"I bumped into you by happenstance You probably wouldn't even know who I am But if I whispered your name I bet there'd still be a spark" I'd like to think that after all these years this was still the case.

Eric Church is one of the best song writers of our time.

I miss playing this song with the boys on a summer night! The memories it brings

When I think of you, I think of 19 in San Diego, 22 in Naples, Italy, 23 in Athens, Greece....24 in Norfolk......and on and on......now, it will be 56 in Vegas. Yea, I still love you and it's always BEEN you.

Dunno how a guy who was 8 years old in the summer of '85 managed to capture my summer of '85 so perfectly, but you did, EC. Saw Springsteen 4 times at Giants Stadium that summer with my girlfriend, whose name was tattooed on the passenger door of my '73 Mustang convertible (not on my arm, and I didn't have a Jeep, but the sentiment was spot-on). Thanks for the nostalgia!

11 years later this song still goes hard

Dude whoever that girl was in the first 10 seconds of the song, I just wanna reach through the screen and just give her a comforting hug after hearing her say what she said

This is like my favorite songs of all time because when my mom and dad were still together, I would listen to this everyday and my dad would sing to it. It reminds me of my dad 💙 Edit: I also did like my own comment bc nobody else probably even cares so..

Im not even legally an adult yet and this song makes me feel old

This year there's 5 July Saturday nights and I'm going to play this on each one! Love this song!

This song will forever be apart of me and my country side and my hometown and Montana❤️

"Funny how a melody sounds like a memory." I hope he knows we all made memories to this song.

This is one of the only songs that can give me goosebumps every time I hear it. Over and over.

God i remember jamming to this as a kid in the car. Such sweet, innocent times. I love/hate my random nostalgia visits to this song

My fourth grandson was born today I would sing this to his dad and to all my boys

It's crazy just how much we screw up thinking she's going to stay forever and the day comes when she says it's over and she means it....Id give anything to go back and fix my mistakes and maybe she wouldn't be the one that got away...

I Don't think a another song or artist like this will ever come again. This song is.

This song makes me so nostalgic. Simply the best 💜

Brings back memories when I was a kid

I'm 19, recently moved to the UK from Texas. It's the middle of winter, 5:40 in the morning, on my third cup of coffee today, and just listening to country music in the kitchen and I have an interview at 11. Yeah, life's pretty good.

his lyrics "funny how a melody sounds like a memory" just plain poetry!

Perfect ending to a perfect song. Bang on young man, bang on!

I lost the love of my life. But god first I am slowly getting her back ❤ we have been dating since we were 15 I’m 24 now we both have done our share of dirt but the way I see it is we never had the chance to experience life without each other now that we’ve spent time apart we both grew a lot and started respecting each other more as people. God may come along and bring me someone, but this girl.. Man I want this girl to be the mother of my kids so bad 🙏 I love her too damn much I’m learning what real love is like and not just puppy love anymore.

I don't think there was ever a better lyric than "Funny how a melody sounds like a memory"

I was driving up the 400 towards Barrie Friday night and this song came on in my playlist. I started bawling just thinking of you. I remember sending you this song/video a few years back and you said it reminded you of us when we were growing up. To top it all off Bruce Springsteen was the last concert we ever attended together. It's been two and half years but the cut still feels like it was yesterday. I feel like I've been repeatedly stabbed and the pain feels like it will never end. I miss our "July Saturday Nights." Please save a place for me up there. I love you and miss you so much, Mike. Springsteen.

Lyrics: [Verse 1] To this day when I hear that song I see you standin' there on that lawn Discount shades, store bought tan Flip flops and cut-off jeans Somewhere between that setting sun I'm on Fire and Born to Run You looked at me and I was done And we're, we're just getting started [Verse 2] I was singin' to you, you were singin' to me I was so alive, never been more free Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang Oohh Stayed there 'til they forced us out And took the long way to your house I can still hear the sound of you sayin' "don't go" [Chorus] When I think about you, I think about 17 I think about my old Jeep I think about the stars in the sky Funny how a melody sounds like a memory Like the soundtrack to a July Saturday night Springsteen [Verse 3] I bumped into you by happenstance You probably wouldn't even know who I am But if I whispered your name I bet there'd still be a spark Back when I was gasoline And this old tattoo had brand new ink And we didn't care what your mom would think About your name on my arm [Verse 4] Baby, is it spring or is it summer? The guitar sound or the beat of that drummer You hear sometimes late at night On your radio Even though you're a million miles away When you hear Born in the USA You relive those glory days So long ago [Chorus] When you think about me, do you think about 17 Do you think about my old Jeep Think about the stars in the sky Funny how a melody sounds like a memory Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night Springsteen Springsteen [Bridge] Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Refrain] Funny how a melody sounds like a memory Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night Springsteen Springsteen Woah Springsteen [Outro] Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I get goosebumps every time I listen to this.. Might just be the best song that has ever been written.

My Father passed away January 2016. When we got the devastating news my Brother's family and mine made the trip to Tennessee to lay him to rest. As we crossed the border this song came on. Looking at my kids, and my brothers family in the rear view I began to cry uncontrollably. This song really hit home and brings tears every time I listen to it. Beautiful tribute

I'm barely getting into the country genre and god i wish i would've sooner. Country is amazing

Never really been a country fan but there’s a few songs I like that are country. This song for more reasons then one is one of the songs I like. At 11 years old I started going to sleepaway camp and this summer at 17 I aged out. This song is always played on the last night of camp at the camp dance and the line “funny how a memory sounds like a melody” really is true to me and brings me back to all the camp dances.

This was one of the songs my high school boyfriend and I had together, he passed in 2016, and I often wonder who he’d be today as we are/would be 28; rest in peace CA 🕊️

It’s 2021 and I’m still jamming. Good music just gets sweeter with time!

I think this song should go into that category for the world’s best songs ever. Edit: It’s 2020 and I still believe this!

still bumping this

I'm only 21 grew up listening to this and man now that I know the meaning this song is amazing

The lyrics of this track; no one will understand unless they’ve been truly in love

Awh (: This song actually came out when I was 17 and in love...this would be our song and we'd rock out to it in his car on summer nights looking at the stars. We're not together anymore, but it's funny how a melody sounds like a memory like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night

I first heard this song when I was 7 and to be completely I didn’t understand the meaning and lyrics. 11 years later I am now 18, I have graduated high school last year, started an electrical career, and play guitar. I cherish this song so much more. The girl that comes to mind when this song plays, makes me wonder if she feels the same way. I know god has his plan for me, whether thats me and her back together or never seeing her again. Funny how this song was just song that I liked to being one that I cherish on a different level. May god bless each and every one of you. Now I have a lot more music to go back to

I lost a great friend a few years back in 2011, she died in a house fire August long weekend, and this was the last song I heard in her house a few weeks before she died, and I still have a hard time listening to this song, because this song makes me think of her, I miss you Lisa Ann Mosher, till we meet again

Damn man, I wonder if this guy knows he has created new memories, he is to me, what springsteen is to him. So many memories with this song.

To this day when I hear that song I see you standin' there all night long Discount shades, store bought tan Flip flops and cut-off jeans Somewhere between that setting sun I'm on fire and born to run You looked at me and I was done And we're, we're just getting started I was singin' to you, you were singin' to me I was so alive, never been more free Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang, oh Stayed there 'til they forced us out And took the long way to your house I can still hear the sound of you sayin' don't go When I think about you, I think about seventeen I think about my old jeep I think about the stars in the sky Funny how a melody sounds like a memory Like the soundtrack to a July Saturday night, Springsteen Love this track!! One of my favorite songs!!

This song came out as I was leaving a 10 year relationship. I didn't realize how the lyrics would affect me a decade later. I sing along with my heart and can't make it through without a tear or two. I believe that relationship was the only one that actually cared about me. ..Next lifetime.

This is the song that made me go from liking Eric to loving him. The line from Clint Black did it for me.

This song will never not break my heart when I hear it.

If ya'kk haven't listened to Born To Run and Darkness on the Edge of town-- you won't understand how Church respects/loves Bruce Springsteens music. Bruceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Timeless and heartfelt gem

Love this! Love love love this. Thank you Eric you are absolutely blessed with golden vocal cords!!

This song reminds me of some of the best days of my life. Days long since past, yet what I wouldn't give to be there again.

This song brings me back to the summer of 2011. The summer I met the guy that made me believe in love again. Although he is no longer in my life there is not one single day that passes by that he does not cross my mind. I hope one day he knows this ...

This was my fav song when I was 3-4. Dad always used to play it for me since he loved it too.

Right Now, we’re listening to this song on a “July Saturday night” Great song and video!!!!

The first time I ever heard this song I was out at a bar in Nashville for my cousins bachelor party. It was my first time ever visiting Nashville, We had been drinking all day, it was about 2am and my friend passes me a joint and I take a hit, I hadn't smoked mmj in years so i had 0 tolerance. 5 min after I took the hit an extremely talented live cover band started playing this song. I headed out to the dance floor and started dancing with all my cousins and family around and it was honestly a transcendent experience. I was so in the moment and so in love with all of them and everyone around me, I completely lost myself in the music, I had absolutely no self consciousness, only an overwhelming sense of gratitude and nostalgic joy as I let the music move me. I all of a sudden knew we were all getting older and I felt how we probably don't have many moments like this left, of being young and uninhibited, free and together. It was magic. Now every time I hear this song I'm right back there. Dancing with my cousins, totally absorbed in the moment. Glorious.

Not a big fan of country, but I really like this song. Everyone should be reminded of when they were 17. In high school I had a friend named Mike that would come to my house. He drove a 68 Shelby. Without fail it broke down every time he went to leave. I always teased him I make it happen so he couldn't leave. I wonder whatever happened to him?

This song is Epic! It will never get old. Brings back all the feels 🥰

"Funny how a melody, sounds like a memory" this will always hit hard for that someone
