Stunning New Cover of REO Speedwagon’s ‘Keep on Loving You’

Listen to this stunning new cover of REO Speedwagon’s song ‘Keep on Loving You.’ The group performing in the video is called IMY2, and they are an independent rock band who formed in 2019. The talented group is currently based in Nashville, TN, and the members include Annalise Mahanes, Cal Tucker, and Michael Monahan.

‘You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missing
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen’

This classic song from REO Speedwagon was #1 for one week in March 1981 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It led to the group being one of the first rock bands to score big with power ballads in the 1980s.

The song ‘Keep on Loving You’ was a response to when lead singer Kevin Cronin found out that his wife had been unfaithful to him before they were married. He decided to continue loving her and fulfill the promise they had made to each other. It ultimately did not work out, as he and his wife split up a few years after the song was released.

"That song is a yin-yang thing, where there is obviously trouble in paradise in the verses, but I always believed that people are capable of changing, and that if your life runs into a tough spot, it doesn't mean that you necessarily have to run from it,” shared Kevin Cronin in an interview about the song. “You can also look it in the eye, and if there is enough worthwhile in the relationship to keep it going, then you give it all you've got, and that's what I did. Even in giving it all I got, at some point, we realized that it just wasn't going to work. So when I wrote that line, I meant it. I tried my best, but it just didn't happen."

The band IMY2 did an outstanding job with their rendition of ‘Keep on Loving You,’ and we hope you enjoyed listening to it today!
