Gary Allan - Best I Ever Had (Official Music Video) 

The fact that he was able to cover and do this song after losing his wife to suicide, will forever resonate with me. What an artist.

The fact that everyone agrees he is one of the most underrated Artists ever ❤️

Who’s still here in 2024?

To everyone posting about it… it wasn’t YOUR FAULT… we all feel it. Gary just said it in the best way possible way. It’ll take some time to patch us up inside 🖤🖤🖤

It truly amazes me, that someone as talented as Gary Allan, gets little to no airplay on the radio.

Such a beautiful song in tribute to his wife she was 37 an suffered from depression an migraines if ya read about it she sent him to kitchen for a drink an he heard the gun shot..my friend got me listening to his music after my wife suffered from same thing an was same age.. I found her in her car she had shot herself in tha chest. Words couldn't help me I went thru some very dark months after that but thanks to friends an my daughter I survived it.. I have a beautiful girlfriend now but her suicide taught me what life is truly about an that's being with your family an those you love nothing else matters except your loved ones... Thank you Gary for your beautiful music to help sooth my soul when memories come flooding back in of that awful morning when I found her ..words can't express tha pain suicide causes...

Dear Mr. Allan, as a suicide survivor of a deceased husband, your strength and kindness helped me through a very dark and lost place in my life.

This dude has been through alot. Tremendous talent. We miss you Gary, time for some new songs!

I listen to this song when I want to do what Gary's wife did. It helps me remember that the decision is much more than me. Thank you Gary

WHY DOESN'T GARY ALLAN GET MORE AIRTIME, VIEWS, ......HE IS A VOICE OF MANY OCTAVES (musically) IN COUNTRY.....HE DESERVES MORE ATTENTION, PAST & PRESENT MUSIC!!! HE IS PHENOMENAL 🎶🎶💫❤️

My dad listened to this song all the time after my mom and him broke up 😢❤️ never understood what the lyrics meant at the time but it breaks my heart now.

I was with an amazing woman for 4 years. Longest and last I thought I ever had. I saved for months and picked a ring to propose on Easter. She left exactly 2 weeks before it. And it was my fault. All of it. It took me a long time to get past the addictions that caused all of the troubles and get better from it. Cut to years later. I have an amazing wife and life. A home to own. I love my wife with every fiber of my being; and she has our child in the works. But every time I hear this song; I always think of that girl. She's doing great in life. I'm extremely proud of her for it.

I didn't realize I liked so many Gary Allan songs. This is the 6th video of his today that I've watched , known and liked all the songs. Watching Airplanes - Smoke Rings in the Dark - Right Where I Need To Be - Best I Ever Had "Grey Sky Morning" - Every Storm Runs Out of Rain - Songs About Rain - Life Ain't Always Beautiful - Man to Man - Loving You Against My Will. Yeah, I thought I only knew 2 or 3 Gary Allan songs. He's definitely under-rated as an artist.

I love this song! when my granpa passed away I listened to Gary Allan's greatest hits album. He mentioned sailing away with one of his sons who passed away a couple years before. He said "sonny is going to pick me up on the boat and were going to sail away" He was the best grandpa in the whole wide world.

02-08-2023. Still relevant and outstanding. Great performance and song writers. Bravo!

My mom loved you. She took her life three years ago. She told me about what happened to your wife. I now cry every time I listen to this song. You remind me so much of her but it's not a hurt kind of memory. It's a loving hurt. Thanks for reminding me of the person she used to be. Your lyrics hit deeper than anything else I've listen to since she did what she did. We live with our scars of suicide survivors but we can never feel the pain they did. And thats a pain we can't ever compare those we've lost to suicide. I love you mom

STILL one of the MOST AMAZING and meaningful songs, ever.

This video is so hauntingly beautiful. Gary's vocals really drive home the emotions of the song. This song is so good and I love that it has undertones of a more modern rock.

All these years later and I still tear up listening to this song. Feel with you Gary.

I'm a metalhead/punk rocker, but i remember this song came out when i was like 14, and i lived in a small ag town in Nebraska. So alot of my friends and people listened to to country and this song was getting played all the time. In fact alot of Gary Allen was getting played. I didnt care for his music or country, but i remember this song. And now that im 32, this song suddenly popped into my head, and i had to come back and listen to it. My gosh, this song even though its a cover, and knowing what he was going through when he released this album. My heart goes out to him and anyone who has lost someone important. Beautiful song.

One of the most underrated country artists of his generation. His career should've been so much larger

I'm here listening to Gary Allen in 2024.

My favorite country song. I'm a huge Gary Allan fan. I give this man respect. God rest his wife's soul. R.I.P.

Still my all time favorite! ❤🥰

I watched him preform this not long after his wife died. He had his eyes closed the whole time. It was so sad

This is such a beautiful song and such a sad one all the same time. I love your music Gary Allan and I’m so sorry for your late wife.

I heard him sing this live 2 months ago. He stopped singing and had the audience sing back to him during this song. Awesomeness

Saw Gary Allan March 2023 at Horseshoe Casino, Tunica, MS. He’s such an under-appreciated performer! This song was super emotional, powerful, all the things!!! Love this guy!!

first time I ever heard this song I thought his wife left him...then I found out what it really was about...props to gray allan for staying strong and making a comeback

Vertical Horizon's lead singer Matt Scannell wrote this song. Seeing VH perform live, Matt talks about Gary Allen approaching him about doing this song. Matt says, "I never dreamed in my life I would write a country song. When Gary approached me, it was weeks after his wife passed. This song helped him out. You'd have to be heartless to say no to a man grieving."

I just saw him in concert last night and he was amazing ❤

There are so many times I wanted to give up.. n I’m so grateful that my husband stood by my side.. I almost lost him..

why is Gary Allan one of the most OVERLOOKED artists? He is a GREAT artist that gets little credit

Who's still rocking this good stuff 2019??

We all have a person in our life that this song reminds us of!

This song reminds me so much of my husband who has passed away. We had so much in common and enjoyed doing so many things together. The only problem we had was deciding on what to do by asking each other what you want to do which is one thing we had in common cause we wanted to satisfy each other by giving the other one the first opportunity!!!

This man does not get the recognition he deserves, he is way above male singers out there today. I soo wish we see more of him!! I Love everything he has ever put out.

most underrated country singer ever

I never heard him before .. i heard his song, "the one" and immediately fell in love with his music. Beautiful song. Beautiful man

I just found out She's gone to heaven a couple days ago. I am saddened I tried to check on her many times over the last 11 years but never stopped to say hi except once a few months ago but she was not home. Now she's gone and I am heartbroken to learn I will never see her again except in my memories and God willing in heaven 🙏 RIP Cathy! Your Always on my mind! The Best I Ever Had!

My friend killed himself two months ago. This song fits perfectly. There's just so many unanswered questions, so much guilt, so much grief, so much....everything. And the one person you want here to help you deal is the one who isn't here. And he'll never be here ever again. I just want to tell him I love him one more time. And I miss him. It just isn't fair.

Heard this song at work. Not a big country fan, but loved the song instantly. Found out it was a remake. I love both versions but I like Gary's a little better. Great voice, and when I found out the story behind why he remade it, i was torn up. I can't imagine going through something like that. Prayers for his wife and him. I learned how to play the song on guitar and I'm going to play and sing it for my girlfriend. We are going through some rough patches and it'll probably do more harm than good with my voice, lol. I didn't know Vertical Horizon wrote this. I've always liked a lot of their songs but never really knew who they were or much about them but do now. I am also now giving country music a chance and I'm definitely a huge Gary Allan fan as of recent all because of one song and the diffent meanings it can hold for different people. Stay strong Gary and I pray that your wife is welcomed into the Gates of Heaven. Peace.

This song never gets old, but after recent life events, it hits on a whole new level.

Gary Allen truly did an amazing job covering a great song by a great band. Didn't try to do too much to make it his own and kept it more like the original.

Gary is one of my favorite singer of all time love his songs

The true story to this song is so sad.. God bless this man.

This singer is one of the best , if not the best ever!!! God bless you Gary and happy holidays to you from east Tennessee.

This is hands down the greatest country song ever made

I love Gary Allen, n I go to church with his mom, she's amazing to

Great song and for those of us who have had love and lost love we understand.

Have had a Crush on this man since the 1st song he ever released ... And still completely infatuated with him ... Cant go a single day without hearing his voice ... Love you Gary ..for all time ..

Gary Allen is hands down the best country artist. He puts so much emotion in his music. 2020 and still gold. We get older and the songs stay the same 🖤

Gary is bad ass!!! That voice... like none other

The sadness of this song is amazing. Really moving and heart felt, thanks Gary for your amazing work.

Still a hit for me today!!! Love listening to him! Definitely should bring all the oldies back 💚

Gary Allen is a Artist has never been recognized for his Talent. Hes 1 of the Best in a long time. Sings from his heart. Well done Gary💙❤

If you do not like Gary Allan... .then you have absolutely no soul.... nor any notion of what real country music is meant to be. Fantastic artist.

Still in 2019 and Killin' it like ALWAYS!!!✨ Who's with me!!

I wish I knew this man. So under rated. I think he resonates with me. His songs bring my heart to tears. Love and respect Gary. He's incredible and he's strong. Truly love to meet him. I believe he's a Cali boy and I'm a Cali girl. I'm impressed by this guy.

This song reminds me of someone who is not here it was our song he picked it for me and he picked songs for and cut out of the newspaper that cute love is. I miss him i loved him more than any man i was ever with Always in my heart ❤

To Stephen..you sailed away, to never come back. I miss you everyday.

Gary's one of the best country singers out there!

Being the survivor of suicide, you will never know the pain or how to get through. It's torture and dreadful, the grief goes on forever. I feel for anyone that is forced to go through this.

🥀One of the most beautiful song's I've ever heard from Gary A. I love all of his song's 🥀☝️🥀

REMINDS ME OF SOMEBODY VERY SPECIAL TO ME... ALWAYS IN MY HEART!

It's 2018 and I'm still listening to it as if it just came out ❤

"You're only the best I ever had.." Love this song!!

He wrote this after his wife committed suicide. She had depression years. Sad. His songs are so passionate and heartfelt. Hes the best singer songwriter ever to me❤

this song reminds me of a love I'll never forget. It's saddening because I won't ever get it back. this person knows who they are. I love them more than they think or know and I hope things work out for them even though we couldn't make it work.

All dedicated to his wife that unfortunately took her life beautiful song

This will never get old a beautiful song about his wife

Truly one of the most magnificent voices in music...ever. He should be a MASSIVE STAR

Ohhh this guy , his songs , his voice , his videos ! Can't stop listening to him on pandora , he's making it easy for me to cry... Ahhh when I need that good cry now I know where to go !

This song still hit the feels 😔☺️🤞❤️

Seeing this legend on July 9 for my birthday he is one of the best country singers I’ve known!!! I’ve always loved his songs & his story❤️

Saddest song ever written for me

I saw him in concert and he gave all of us a great time. He's really a great artist.

Aww I love this song, makes me think... I remember hearing this year's ago on my Granny's CMT she would blast it loved her country music and she passed on her love for country to me. Some country songs are too beautiful, make me cry, lol 💖💜

He’s sing with his heart and soul

Your voice just soothes my soul, I love it, 🤪🥳❤. I'm on a Gary Allan binge right now = song after song, that you've created..... Awesome 👍👍😎

Love both versions...but Gary's emotional vocal puts this over the top ❤❤❤

The very best friend a girl could have, you were my rock, protector, co-conspiritor, we had fun, laughed alot, and even cried once in awhile but there was always Love and Respect. RIP MY BELOVED.

I'm never knew about your history. We all have pains. I Thank you for your music. It's kept me alive. So has my dog. We live on the streets of Vegas. Your songs reach people's hearts because they are real and come from experience. Take care of yourself.

Great song by Gary Allen. My 13 yrd old daughter asked me today who are my all time favorite artists.. I quickly mentioned Gary Allen as one- she quickly agreed- this happened while we were listening to Gary's latest "unfiltered". plus she got to see Gary at Busch Gardens in Tampa a few years ago and is a big fan. "Dad play Gary Allen on your Alexa phone app"

Just saw him in concert this evening 9-10-2021. Did not disappoint. One of the better concerts I've seen.

I love this man, he always brings out the person im hiding from, me, with this man, this artist, this song, and all his music, i cry, an face what ive done, an still am doing, to the ones i love most in all the world, wow😢 This man is so raw, and emotional, an sexy, an vunerable, and i could go an on.....

Sometimes I just want to sail away and just dissapear.

I love Gary Allan id marry that man Hes the bomb every song he sings I love it he needs more awards

I have never heard anyone who puts more heart into their music. His lyrics come from his heart ❤️ and they touch my heart. I wish I could hear more of his songs on the radio. Gary Allan should be at the top of the country charts.

A song between me and my first love, I think some part of us knew we weren’t forever, we were just true first love. ❤️

I lost my mother to suicide. I was in third grade and found her. This song helps. I’ve suffered through depression and anxiety with many of suicidal thoughts. I have a song that is a different genre however the message is powerful. Please give it a listen. It has helped me personally. Band: Famous Last Words Song: One in the chamber I’m struggling right now tbh. It’ll pass. It always does. Thanks.

Happy that you were able to open your heart back to love again! Wishing you a blessed future and family. Blessings to you both!

Kimberly Sue Lowery, my love, my heart, my soul. We did not have much time together. You filled my heart with hope and made me complete. I was ready to walk away from everything so we could be together again. I never quit loving you from our brief time in the past. Your father.....well I won't go there. When you came down to the fire station and told me your feelings for me it was like the sun rose in my heart and a part that had long been frozen finally thawed. We had our secret rendezvous' and those times passed so fast, then when we were going to be together, God, Fate, The Great Pumpkin took you from me. We will be together again someday and until then my heart, soul, and love remain yours.

Ahh the 90s when there had to be a country version of popular rock and pop songs. That said, this is one of the better examples.

I used to watch this video all the time when I was younger. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking.

Hes the strongest man i know.. carring the weight of his wifes death. He dont cry he sings. And its simply beautiful..

Sad when you know what that song is about.

I am in love with this man's song's, voice, and his conviction to his songs and his audience!

God is the best to have! 💯

Gary Allan is such an amazing singer. I can’t imagine the pain he must have went through when he lost his wife. I suffer from anxiety and depression and pray I don’t go to that dark place that some people go to. Such a sad story :(
