Not Broken -Goo Goo Dolls

[gooangel2]

These guys are undaunted and are an inspiration. They are not getting the respect they deserve either.

[LukeMoon18]

I got chills everysecond!!!!!!!!!!

that could not be normal, but coming from GGD, impossible is nothing!

[landonairsoft09]

this song reminds me of ryan dunn

[Big8535]

This is a must buy CD.

[nitamarie1991]

John Rzeznik and the Goo Goo Dolls are seriously underrated. They deserve so much more praise than they recieve. You guys inspire me every day <3 Never, ever change!

[blubai]

This is love

[xostrawberryswing]

@masterlevi10 basically!

[ashiscutee]

They write the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard before. favorite band since day 1<3

[DedicationToFire]

Truly such a beautiful song.

[buntyboo13]

God I miss him so much, and its not even been a day.. :\

[capgurken]

So I saw the commerical for Dolphin Tale and it looks stupid Flipper ripoff but I'm tempted to see it since the ad used my favorite song Goo Goo Doll's Not Broken as the theme song!

[littlemissnutty]

what does this song mean? :)

[DarkStar7471]

I don't understand how anyone can hate this song

[PbrowKramba]

Colombia esta presente en la buena musica!!!

[KassxAfflictionx0]

Still loving this song months and months later. <3

[thequietkid10]

I love how Johnny has been singing for 24 years (they're as old as I am....!!!) And he's hasn't lost a step.

[DreamWishBelieve]

This song makes me thing of "him" and it makes me want to cryy..

[ramert12]

Love this song. It's so sad.

[taljel]

about at 45 second mark I GET CHILLS :) love it love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrMichaelmuir1990]

@taljel yeah buddy good tune

[TheJakeb93]

@taljel Thats EXACTLY where I got chills to ;)

[Enjoyced]

Youtube, you're wrong. Bruno Mars definitely shouldn't be in the suggestions!

[aa80ify1]

AMAZING NEW SONG..... every one who liked this, go to the page of thetruekopite and watch 'the secret encrypt' ....AMAZING NEW SONG

[SkidRowLover010]

Dont you love the number one comments, they are always, lyrics to the songs, or some witty remark.... Kyle obviously had 157 accounts to like that comment, 157 because there were about 100 thumbs down for it... 0_o

[KyleEffingHarris]

@SkidRowLover010 Actually this is my only account...  -_-

[KyleEffingHarris]

@SkidRowLover010 And aren't you that same person who sent me hate mail complaining about me posting lyrics?? Please just get a life.

[monolithispure]

@SkidRowLover010 so does that mean...we found kyle?

[Jermee123]

@SkidRowLover010 You're funny man.. Trying to make an argument for something like that. Honestly. Especially on a song like this. Come on, this song is too good for that.

[Sometimenextjune]

i...will

[cursedmindd]

awesome song<3



[elisavetasphotos]

My mission on MysterySeeker was to listen to this song.

it's really good! I'm suprised!

[MrGazza17]

Fucking love it. Good stuff.

[donneyal]

WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO

[BroadwayBeauty96]

Goo Goo Dolls, I love you. I sing your music all the time, and you've brought me through everything. This song is so inspiring and beautiful. Thank you.

[flowerpower528]

[zillaboy610]

how does rebbeca black - friday get over 50 MILLION views and this only gets 130,000 ?

[sarabear461]

i painted a lot of the lyrics to this song on my wall in my room :)

[ccaccord07]

@sarabear461 make a video of it and email it to me lol

[Anjelfaced]

i love this song and this band, I can't wait to hear the whole Disc and soon!! I would ask this though, why is the song 4 minutes and the album cover is 6:47? I thought my computer was on the outs!! lol

[WilfordsCuntMuffinXO]

<3

[gracenote13]

all the pop and rap and hiphop artists can shut up and shot ruining the next generations ideas of what music is. this is real music, and this is what the world needs to be listening to

[zajohnson]

This song. IS AMAZING.

[PegsRox79]

one of my favorites :)

[campproject]

Most of the people who post this song on youtube post it as "Not Broken" when the song is clearly titled "Notbroken." The way I see it, it's titled with the words linked to symbol not being apart.

[rpcswint]

3 people can S a D.

[irishbelle65]

Just breathtaking..

[SkidRowLover010]

I hate people that post lyrics from the song, thats why we LISTEN to the fucking song, what fun would it be to read a song, and I hate the people that vote them up in comment, i mean seriously!

[letitiacraven]

iv'e been a fan for 15 years or so..their still the most under appreciated band besides Collective Soul..but still kickin' ass!!!

[wayla711MJ829]

time won't ever steal my soul...that's such a good line :)

[TheAwesomeOne6767]

3 people are broken

[laalex1990]

we AREAN'T broken, so PLEASE come home

[TheSydEmmy]

i cannot stop listening to this song. it basically has the best moral to it ever, wow.

[RoUg3zOpTiCz]

totally raped the replay button.

[ComfortablyPlump13]

I want to learn how to play this song on acoustic guitar.

[huray4random]

"Time won't ever steal my soul

and we're not broken so please come home"

Beautiful Lyrics <3

[ExtraSuperVery]

@couplingfan15 I am just amused at the idea of them deserving more attention. I said teenager because you weren't likely to have known much about them. It is amusing. Not something to get defensive about. Your age isn't something you can control. Your sense of humour is though.

[AdiaDreams]

Why is there two minutes of silence at the end, there?

[JGBEAR66]

@AdiaDreams a tribute to the troops :)

[allierzeznik95]

this is so amazing. i love their new album :) they need so much more attention than they get, they're so good! goshh.

[BobkyleJon]

@allierzeznik95 This is exactly how I've felt about the Goo's for years.

[ExtraSuperVery]

@allierzeznik95 More attention, like dominating all of the 90's and early 2000's? Being one of the most recognized artists of our generation... maybe not yours, teenager I am guessing?

[allierzeznik95]

@ExtraSuperVery yeah, I know they DID. I'm talking about now days. they need more attention, everyone's listening to lil wayne and shit.

[03fearless]

LOVE GOO GOO DOLLS.

[ellebelleeee]

love love love! (along with everything they have ever made)

[GhostOnline133]

thought for sure i'd see some "the opening sounds like hey there delilah" comments

[wowzagirlrox22]

amazing sonG! could listne to it all day ! i cant believe they are coming HERE! so excited , i better get to go ! :):)<3

[cfayemetz]

I love you John Thomas <3

I'm still waiting for you--Know that I love you

and miss my best friend dearly.

I hope your soul searching lets you find whatever

it is your looking for----

[trulychloe]

@cfayemetz hehehehehe you said John Thomas!

[LoneMoon]

I like how this song resounds with purpose. The lyrics are powerful.

All I waited for was a chance..

[To] tell you these forgotten truths, you never thought were real.

If the world should turn it's back.. I'm still here.

Life moves on.. you didn't know you belong..

But.. I still catch you.. and remind you to believe.

Time won't EVER still my soul!

And if the world has worn you down.. I won't let them break you.

Even with words taken out, the meaning still hits home. It's beautiful!

[mirNdalovesu]

i also like when he pretty much screams ever when singing

"time won't EVER steal my soul"

[mirNdalovesu]

this song is so emotional. my sister balls her eyes out whenever i play it :p

omfg i cant get enough of this song<3

[ItsNoahHere]

i love this song.

and 1 person IS broken

[sustasul]

i think that this song might top of "Better Days" - full of emotions and passion

[ToomasTomatoes]

i was looking for this everywhere, i can't believe that i finally found it, omg i'm crying

[1NINE52]

1 person is a grinch (glad only 1)

Please come home Troops!

[EmilFouchon]

WWE Tribute Of The Troops

[Firecracker829]

This song is a thing of beauty, and to the one person who disliked it...get your hearing checked

[GooGooGirl125]

i cannot get over how UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING this song is...it is my favorite ggd song...i listen to it literally 20 times a dayyy...i love you guysssss♥

[KyleEffingHarris]

"I won't let them break you down,

I won't hear the empty sounds,

I'll hopelessly pretend in that I know the answer.

Angels light the neon fires,

that burn so cold through your desires,

And all you are, is all I need to know."

[StrikeHawX]

@KyleEffingHarris that's my fav part ;)

[KyleEffingHarris]

@StrikeHawX Same here it gives me goosebumps haha

[SkidRowLover010]

@KyleEffingHarris we all heard the song dumbass i hate people like u that repost half the song and act like your some big shyt!

[KyleEffingHarris]

@SkidRowLover010 Are u mad or something? I just felt like posting the part I liked best in the song. Don't be so jealous that I got like 42 likes for that post. I don't act like I'm some big "shyt" I didn't even check my comment status until today when you got all butthurt about it. Grow up.

[StrikeHawX]

somebody let time steal his soul...

[snootch1982]

i get to see these in less than 7 days, canr wait

[Evobe1994]

@snootch1982 your so lucky :) i love these guys

[IAmTheSecretOfMana]

@snootch1982 I saw them last night in Brixton, London... You're in a REAL treat, Snootch, they were incredible. My favourite band, and they started with my favourite song, Big Machine... *MELTS*

[missbookworm94]

@IAmTheSecretOfMana Oh my gosh, I love Big Machine, that's the perfect opener. I'd love to see them live but that's not going to happen anytime soon because the closest concert to me that they're playing is in Saskatchewan, 3 lousy provinces away.

[xSaz1986x]

Regardless of who the song is written for, or why it is utterly beautiful and absolutely the reason why i have loved the band for so long now. I think we can all find something in this song we can connect to, or at least I hope we can. :D Amazing song live.

[beardedboarder]

@thetruekopite actually no if you watch the interview with the band here on youtube (wouldnt let me link the vid) not broken is for the wife/husband story

[xxdiabolicalxxsins]

For the men and women serving and protecting our country in the Armed-Forces overseas

----> I just wanna say thank you for all that your doing

Please come home soon : )

[xxdiabolicalxxsins]

Time won't ever steal my soul

And we're not broken

So please come home

And if the world has worn you down

And I'll be waiting

So please come home

♥♥♥

[gingerdc1]

such a real good song best on the album. although the album itself left me disappointed. definately the best lyrics of any album they ever made. but they spent so much time putting their hearts and souls in the lyrics that they forgot the hook in the music to bring people into those lyrics... they'll get it the next album.

[longtimelover45]

I am so glad that this is their next single!

[Pattonfrodo]

Just Saw them in Latrobe PA ..man what a great show! this was one of the Encore songs! So F ing beautiful also got to meet Robby Takac ! I a bass player too so it was pretty cool for me.

[rockchick1990uk]

I'm gonna hunt down that 1 person -.-

[TheBornAnnoyed]

...John Rzeznik is an OuTsTaNDinG SoNG~WriTeR and has been asked several times to write songs for movie soundtracks. :) ThanK YoU for this UpLoad.

[ShifTDigit]

hope the husband got the message :)

[littlefatso]

From a Rzeznik interview.

"One particular song on the album is called “Not Broken.” I got a letter from a woman whose husband was in Iraq. He was injured – paralyzed – and he doesn't want to come home. He wants to stay in the hospital. He's ashamed of himself. .. And she just wants to let him know that he's still everything that she ever wanted. I don't know, it just kind of came out. It's kind of like I was writing a love letter to him on her behalf."

Not Broken was written for the wife

[thegreay116]

bragging rights 

[ilovewvu20]

This song is so good :)

[capgurken]

"Time wont steal my soul" can there be any words more soul-touching than dat. This song is a message from God to man. No human could write such striking words. They are a hymn to the universe. Both the beauty and the tragedy. The triumph and the the glory. A man on his knees who flies to the heavens. This song is magic. I hate the New and miss the Old. But this song reminds me the best is yet to come. 2010 made what was never before!

[capgurken]

This song is breathtakingly beautiful. I was lacking confidence for the big today. But this song made me refuse to be brokened. Unfourtanately 10/13 was the WORST day of my life, it was like a teen movie cuz the whole cheerleading team came to laugh at my humiliation on cue. And yet the beauty of this song still moves me. It is sublime. The nature of being. Best since Iris! Awe inspiring! A lightning storm!

[artymarty73]

Wow...this song is so good. It's got so much emotion and feeling

[silentdrinks]

I loveee this band! seen them once, should see them again in november. It's a shame they're not as big as they should be!

[theoffspringguy]

@silentdrinks Where do you live? Antarctica?

[silentdrinks]

@theoffspringguy erm, no. I'm from England. Before you even state otherwise, I'm a massive Goo Goo Dolls fan, and without any disrespect, but I probably know more about them than most people. Despite they are known over here, they do not release their songs down here, hence the basis of my point!

[ccaccord07]

@silentdrinks buy it on the internet bro,

[marcumm]

I really like the whole song except towards the end where it busts into the butt rock metal at the end which I thought was a bit out of place since its a mellow emotional song. Other than that great song!

[Leon1242]

@marcumm they do that alot..silly lol.

[1000visionz]

@marcumm that is such an old trick o.O you never heard something like that before? it's called building up

[mirNdalovesu]

whenever this song comes on i blast the shit out of my speakers

[pmsangola1]

They keep topping themselves.. Incredible album

[61dodgelancer]

I bought the CD. It's great! When I'm on my computer I'll pull youtube up and give it a listen.

[hyde69612009]

great !!...

[sjcrows]

am i the only person to notice that if you listen to the song at 2:53 the sounds alot like part of the instrumental during the chorus from "hate this place"?? its identical to it

[almaadg1]

please people buy the album do not illegally download it please buy it !!!!!!!!!

thank so much for the song love their album awesome best album ever

[ccaccord07]

goo goo dolls -post cards from paradise on my channel

[thetruekopite]

@aluringrose too many old people shoved their dicks up your as

[TheBornAnnoyed]

@thetruekopite ....lmao at your brutal comment to the child who doesn't like this song. brutal, but i liked it. :)

[RegalStretch1]

@TheBornAnnoyed I think that anyone who doesn't like this song doesn't get why Reznik would write a song for someone else who he doesn't even know. That's just my opinion though..

[deadheat007]

@thetruekopite 163 likes, 1 douche bag. probebly aluringrose :P

[bobby6900]

@aluringrose the goo goo dolls are the best band in the world

[bloodhaley]

@aluringrose then why are you one the page of this music video if you can't stand it? really?

[bloodhaley]

@aluringrose then why are you even bothering listening to the song online? really?

[gbfansean]

God this is a Great Song!!! The Goo Goo Dolls have influenced me much! there one of the few bands that their songs have meaning.

[ThiefHinomoto]

I can't stop listening to this song, it's just...so amazing.

I'm glad they finally got a new album out, I missed their music~

[goofan777]

this album is really good...but dizzy up the girl is what made them explode!!!

[BuffaloHockeyTown]

@goofan777 I don't think you can use an album as a reason why the Goo Goo Dolls became popular. In most cases, it takes one song. And the Goo Goo Dolls did that with "Name" in the album "A Boy Named Goo." My fav song is "Long Way Down." The Goo Goo Dolls are the best! And I'll be seeing them in concert on September 24th! Beyond pumped!

[purpleshamrock17]

why the hell is everything they do so freaking amazing?? I can't think of a bad song from them...at least of the ones I've heard. Seriously, they are an incredible band. This new CD sounds just as good as the old stuff! Keep rockin' Goos!!

[Sk8BakerBoards]

<3 this song

<3 this album

<3 the goo goo dolls

[stanbalo]

goo goo dolls are top notch all the time!

[ccaccord07]

i made a video for their song postcards in paradise

[actualskittlesgirl]

you guys already have guitar lessons out on youtube and your cd has only been out for 3 days. you must be the best band ever :)

[googoorockfan]

@actualskittlesgirl HELL THEY ARE!!

[googoorockfan]

@actualskittlesgirl HELL YEAH THEY ARE!! I THINK I MIGHT ACTUALLY EXPLODE OVER THIS ALBUM!!!

[Stephmarie1990]

I love them <3

[thefourhalls]

I love this song! So beautiful! :] The goo goo dolls are amazing!!!!

[javery92]

This album just brought these guys into my top five favorite bands. EPIC!

[sandcastle1997]

"Not Broken," based on correspondence between Rzeznik and the wife of a solider in Iraq. She told him that her husband had been rendered paralyzed by a battle wound. Though he has returned to the States for treatment , he now suffers paralysis of another sort: fear.

"He won't come home, because he's afraid she won't see him as he was," Rzeznik says. "I wanted to speak for her, to write a love letter to tell him to come home."

(Just wanted to share the origins of the song)

[thetruekopite]

@sandcastle1997 actually he wrote "soldier" for that story

[cambodia21]

@thetruekopite no it's for this song google it

[sandcastle1997]

@thetruekopite Interesting...a recent article that I took the quote from, stated it was for this song. I'm going to have to listen to Soldier now :)

[SpartanPrimus]

@thetruekopite no it was "notbroken"

[whatoftoday]

@thetruekopite Actually you are BOTH right on that one. What Sandcastle wrote is exactly true. Soldier was written from correspondence after the husband decided to come home.

[livingasynfullife]

@thetruekopite no, in an interview Johnny explained the story behind not broken, and about how it is pretty much a love letter from the wife to her husband, who doesn't want to return home as he is ashamed of the state the war has left him in.

[markyarsenal]

@thetruekopite no he didnt not broken is the song he wrote

[mrsrzeznik65]

@thetruekopite

I read that Soldier was about alcoholism/addiciton - read it in an interview with John.

[61dodgelancer]

@thetruekopite Thanks for your comments especially re: aluringrose. But sandcastle1997 is correct. "Not Broken" is based on the story of a wife of a veteran injured in Iraq. Search for article by Lyndsey Lovelady 9-16-10, "Multi Platinum Man: An Interview with Goo Goo Dolls' Johnny Rzeznik."

Great song - love the Goo Goo Dolls

[capgurken]

@thetruekopite After listening to both soldier and Notbroken, I think its pretty clear that Soldier far better desribes the specific story of the Iraq veteran. NotBroken is more of a general song about the Angst of our entire age.

[atlman47]

@thetruekopite this one too. he said so at a concert i was at the other night

[mattman919191]

@thetruekopite no it was this song

[Crehalen]

@thetruekopite actually I was at a concert that he said those same words sandcastle just wrote. so he prob wrote soldier as well as Not Broken as a tribute.

[andybaxta]

@thetruekopite Not what John said in concert last night, he agreed with Sandcastle's explanation

[mattman919191]

@thetruekopite nope it was not broken

[IAmTheSecretOfMana]

@thetruekopite I saw them live last night at the O2 Academy in Brixton, London, buddy. Sandcastle's story is the same as that which Johnny said last night!

This song blew my mind, so beautiful. The atmosphere was absolutely electric!

[BredpathB]

@thetruekopite i saw them live last night & he said what sandcastle1997 said he said before he sung this song.

[PrincessPilot]

@thetruekopite Well...that's not what he told Norwich. He told that stroy for Not Broken.
