When Eli Young Band was figuring out how to best exemplify their latest song, “Love Ain’t,” in a video, they knew Taylor and Danielle, who star in the video would be the perfect couple. Mike Eli explains, “Taylor was serving overseas and was hit by an IED and became a quadruple amputee. And Danielle rushed to him and was by his side as he went through all of this. And the story of them coming back after everything is the story that we told in the video. And it’s an incredible love story. It’s not one of those things that’s very easy to put into words. It’s just really something you’ve got to see and it’s one of those things that it’s a life lesson, I think, for all of us. A lesson in love and a lesson in life.”
Eli Young Band also chose to dedicate their video to The Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that serves military men and women who were injured while serving our country. You can learn more at woundedwarriorproject.org.
