I love that he can admit that he'd been that kind of man that Taylor sings about at one time Not a lot of men would ever admit that there was a time in their life where they could've been a better man I wonder if my dad ever wonders if he could've been a better man or dad (It's a long story and trying to explain it would be like writing a novel)
Agreed minus LBT and Chase Bryant. I like Keith's acoustic version the best. It touches me more than the other versions. Taylor's rendition in second best, but she wrote the song so she should duet it with Keith. They toured together in the 2007-2009 time frame, she opened for him. They have never done a duet together. I think they would sound great together on an acoustic type song.
@@jackbronson4242 your comment aged well, Taylor is releasing music with Keith on one of her songs for Fearless (Taylor's Version) Album. Great artists sent from heaven. I can't wait to hear how good they would sound.
WOW..I just discovered this song. Life is so strange sometimes. I saw a clip that Taylor wrote this. I heard LBT sing it then Taylor. Live at the Bluebird Cafe. Both outstanding. But I am in tears after hearing Keith Urban sing his version. His voice and this song just hit me with so much emotion. I've had some incredible loves in my life but left the one who couldn't be a better man. 5:00
Oh my!!!!! The BEST MAN EVER, singing this song!!!! WOW, Keith, you gotta record your version of this.....!!!!! I'm talkin major goosebumps here!!!!!! Only YOU would give a woman an apology from the heart like this!!!!!!! I LOVE it!!!!!!
Imagine if Taylor swift and Keith urban recorded this together but Keith urban singing it from the mans perspective. Something similar to the back and forth in exile.
I was gonna compliment him for not changing the gender/perspective of the song, then I was gonna complain about him doing that but then when he said “I’ve been that guy” and then his voice and soulful singing wowed me. Excellent rendition! It touched me
Perhaps that last call before the phone rang no more, was to say just those words. Now, no one will ever know. Keith what a eye opening presentation. So thought provoking!
This version is sooo true even though it happens it’s not always intensional my wife says I have some PTSD from being a combat medic and I can see it sometimes its crushing to me to see when thing settle and I see it It’s been the end to several relationships I have been in ... I will alway strive To be the” better man” I am in my heart. To my wife of 5 years now
Gotta give it to this guy! The original made me cry and sigh in contemplation but this was just whew...what an emotional point of view as well. I LOVE KEITH EVEN MORE FOR DOING THIS!
Wow Keith Urban you are the man! Gosh this is terrific, you should record this, your version... absolutely fantastic. You are a true original inspiration to music lovers not to mention you're hot wow Nic is really lucky.
This song really speaks to me on some many levels, but in spite of all the sorrows I made the right decision and found myself again. Big smile! Keith sings so pretty....
@@simplyaniq9451 yes, we all know that.... at the very beginning points out this is a LBT song, written by Taylor Swift... both are great friends to Keith, as they both have opened for him on tours. He gave Taylor major props saying she wrote a great song here. Do you even listen or just comment? Wtf
I got the point . Used to be that woman . Words to the song is so real . Keith sings it so great . Love to listen to his voice . Thank you for reminding me of what I had . Yes now I'm happy. Not that woman anymore . Love it.
i am getting goosies,Keith Urban you sing this so beautifully,I am crying,and my tears,are flowing,like rain bursting from the clouds and falling to the earth, I loved it thank you
Nice job Keith ~ I agree ~ Might be worth considering covering it ~ Your heart-depth and ability/gift to connect with the should of a song shines forth ~ Best 2U ~ FRANK!
His been down road and you can hear his true feelings and spirit in it. Urban been down a hard broken, dark road like a few of us but God has reason for all our time here on his ( Gods) play ground. Some he lights a fire deep down like Urban and some never gets to see that light. Urban is very grateful as well as I'm where the good Lord opened our eyes and we have seen a better light. Urban has a beautiful heart and spirit even after that dark road. Live Better Than I Am !!!!!!!!!
🖤🥀Excellent Song Brilliant lyrics, vocals and music! This is so powerful and so gently put into words he should have on a hits record oh yeah I love this song🥀🖤🤘🎸
Hopefully one day you'll listen to this link Ash and when you hear the words, just know how much I do love you. And Beautiful I'm so sorry I turned cold. 🥺
Tes chansons sont toujours excellentes Bravo Keith elle sont de plus en plus belle très belle Merci de nous en chanter si bien comme tu sait le faire si bien Merci ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶👍
If you wanna try playing this cover, try transposing the original "Better Man" chords 5 steps down to the key of C. (The bridge part might be a lil different tho)
![Taylor Swift - Better Man [Original 2012 Demo]](/img/1.gif)
He needs to record this as a single, this song hits deep
It is one of my favs. I just love it and I love the way he sings it too almost as much as I love Little Big Town singing it.
Wow prefect, wish he would have recorded it . Little Big Town did a great job however!
Cheryl Graham Taylor swift wrote it..
@@lilyilylilyily yes, like Keith says at the beginning of the video.....
i know Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
The way he accepts that he has been that guy is what makes him worth singing the song .
Thank you Keith.
I hope Taylor was able to hear this. Keith did a beautiful rendition.
Keith Urban & Taylor Swift = I click. Legends.
I love that he can admit that he'd been that kind of man that Taylor sings about at one time
Not a lot of men would ever admit that there was a time in their life where they could've been a better man
I wonder if my dad ever wonders if he could've been a better man or dad
(It's a long story and trying to explain it would be like writing a novel)
I didn't know I needed but I did. I really want Keith to record a studio version of this song. Love the male perspective.
Mando N
. Wouldnt it be good hearing a man say those words after ya live the hell they put you through?
Mando N. Taylor Swift. Sucks
@@THEgamecockgirl Funny you say that when the original song Better Man was written by Taylor Swift.
@@JenniferJiang2013 that’s obviously why he said it...
I think he needs to record it and perform this at his concerts I know a lot of men like this that need to listen to it from a males view point love it
Really need to see little big town Taylor swift Keith urban and chase Bryant all preform this at once
Agreed minus LBT and Chase Bryant. I like Keith's acoustic version the best. It touches me more than the other versions. Taylor's rendition in second best, but she wrote the song so she should duet it with Keith. They toured together in the 2007-2009 time frame, she opened for him. They have never done a duet together.

@@kaeioshi I think the song is amazing!
@@jackbronson4242 they have also duetted on Taylor’s 1989 tour!!!

His voice is just stunning
Oh my!!!!! The BEST MAN EVER, singing this song!!!! WOW, Keith, you gotta record your version of this.....!!!!! I'm talkin major goosebumps here!!!!!! Only YOU would give a woman an apology from the heart like this!!!!!!! I LOVE it!!!!!!
I thought the original hit hard.....but this ....I needed to hear this side...even if it doesnt come from him...still hits so much harder.
This version is so incredible. Shivers everywhere especially during the chorus.. 😭😭
Imagine if Taylor swift and Keith urban recorded this together but Keith urban singing it from the mans perspective. Something similar to the back and forth in exile.
their voice should get married tbh
A man actually singing this who can relate to this hits different
This version of the song needs way more love, though the message isn't an easy one to digest.
I was gonna compliment him for not changing the gender/perspective of the song, then I was gonna complain about him doing that but then when he said “I’ve been that guy” and then his voice and soulful singing wowed me. Excellent rendition! It touched me
Literally crying while listening to this. This is a gorgeous version.
Perhaps that last call before the phone rang no more, was to say just those words. Now, no one will ever know. Keith what a eye opening presentation. So thought provoking!
There’s a version of this song covered by Chase Bryant about a year ago. absolutely amazing. Keith done a great job too.
This version is sooo true even though it happens it’s not always intensional my wife says I have some PTSD from being a combat medic and I can see it sometimes its crushing to me to see when thing settle and I see it It’s been the end to several relationships I have been in ... I will alway strive
To be the” better man” I am in my heart. To my wife of 5 years now
Hang in there bro, I feel your pain with you
Have you considered therapy? I think the best thing you could do to yourself is give yourself the chance to work on that and change for the better
Gotta give it to this guy! The original made me cry and sigh in contemplation but this was just whew...what an emotional point of view as well. I LOVE KEITH EVEN MORE FOR DOING THIS!
Man, the song takes on a whole new meaning from the male perspective. So beautiful! (Also, would love for Keith and LBT to tour again together!)
He can sing anything, and make it sound great!
He is so deep...Himself and I love that 💗🌟💥✨✨✨✨
This song hits me right between the eyes every time I hear it. I wish I would’ve been a better man. I miss her like hell. I love you Dee.
Keith's acoustic songs for me are his greatest songs although all he,does,is,great
Wow Keith Urban you are the man! Gosh this is terrific, you should record this, your version... absolutely fantastic. You are a true original inspiration to music lovers not to mention you're hot wow Nic is really lucky.
Oh Keith I love your version of this song. You mean every word of the song
What a beautiful rendition . Keith's beautiful voice is really showcased
Keith can do it all! He is phenomenal live too, great job.
Thanks to SiriusXM, I was able to see/hear this incredible show live. Goosebumps, both then and now. Thank You So Much.
This song really speaks to me on some many levels, but in spite of all the sorrows I made the right decision and found myself again. Big smile! Keith sings so pretty....
Simply beautiful Keith. You should definitely record and release this as a single! You are THE man! I love everything you do.
Lisa its written by taylor swift & recorded by little big town

chorus has a little bit of Mean by Taylor Swift "some day, i'll be, living in a...." part
I love this song. You sing it so well. You are a better man
Sobbing.
Love this version so much! So great of him to sing it from the man’s perspective. It’s my fav song on Red-Taylor’s version.
Wow beautifully done by Keith Urban You need to record this, Thank you for sharing💞🙏🙏💞
Keith Urban could sing the phone book and make it great! AND, I would buy it1!

Awesome!! Thank you Keith!! 😍😍😍
This guy should be on American Idol!
beautiful voice
I'm that guy right now man. Good jam
You need to record this!! Beautiful version!!
Did he mention it was written by Taylor Swift?
Yes
Yes and Little Big Town recorded it. It is an AWESOME song!
Yes, he did!
Did you listen?
She wrote the original version from the woman's side. Keith changed it up to come as an apology from the man.
Whoah, how awesome is that?!!
Beautifully done Keith. Definitely agree that you should record this one. A compilation with Karen perhaps???
Hopefully one day you'll listen to this link Ash and when you hear the words, just know how much I do love you. And Beautiful I'm so sorry I turned cold. 🥺
Perfection!
Taylor need to re-record this song and duet it with Keith !!
Totally relate to this song!!
Love love this version Thank you 😊
I'll take this as the "closure" talk. Thank you even if it will not come from you.😘 Be safe. Always.
AWESOME JOB KEITH!
I love it!
beautiful!
Omg. This is so good.
Record it in the studio, PLEASE
Tes chansons sont toujours excellentes Bravo Keith elle sont de plus en plus belle très belle Merci de nous en chanter si bien comme tu sait le faire si bien Merci ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶👍
I wish this cover was available on other apps (Tidal).
Excellent xxx 🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
Please Record this Keith.. 👍👍
Just Perfect❤Lol to you My Keith Urban.#1 fan Debbie from Ga.❤💙💚💛🙋😉💝🎤🎼🎸🎶
Awesome!
Can he release this???? I love this so much
"Holy cow. I did not see that one coming. Wow."
Cool song. Words say it all. That guy plays a part in a lot of our lives. Their loss
If you wanna try playing this cover, try transposing the original "Better Man" chords 5 steps down to the key of C. (The bridge part might be a lil different tho)
Keith always covers a song and it sounds better than the original
He needs to record this with Taylor!!!
Meilleur chanter par toi ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶👍👍👍
You became a better man I miss that better man .
I love stupid boy too!
Wow
He should record this as a two person duet with Taylor Swift, a back and forth story like Picture from Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow
Love this from Keith... Just needs to slow it down some. I think it's too fast
The original is slower. He wanted to do his own thing.
💜💜💜😢
We all should learn from these words, you feel like a yo-yo until it sinks in it will not work in spite of our efforts.
Very good job. If you’re going to do a huge hit like this, at least add some originality.. Keith did it from the man’s perspective.. nice..
Hi~~~~
Starts at 0:42
Not all heroes wear capes
I like he tried a bit of it
I’m so sorry Cait
Really, it isn't always the man's fault.
This song is singing LITTLE BIG TOWN
Which sang Taylor Swift’s song... what’s your point? People do covers all the time out of respect and tribute to songs they admire.
We know this.... Keith points this out before singing and then sings it better than LBT
