Better as a memory (Kenny Chesny)

[rhodescrazy]

This song makes me think of my ex. We loved each other more than anything else in the world. No matter what happened we went though it together. Everytime we tried to make it work it never could; he always hurt me. So he's better a a memory than as my man

[cloverlanebandits]

I would believe... it's about a true friends love and soulmate that is forbidden to love... and how one has found them both standing at that crossroads of life... and has to go on in life alone, until the other finds him like he had found her many years ago... now only the SANDS OF TIME will bring them back together... BETTER AS A MEMORY... then as a first kiss... goodbye.

[Plushheaven]

I've been with my baby daddy for 10 yrs, and its ending, sucks but this song puts it all into words....

[cassie3ism]

my ex always use to say this was his song to me i listen to it all the time an it reminds me of him an it gets me upset all the time just cuz it makes me think of him and our past to much i thought he was the one we had everything all planned out for the next 15 years of our life :'(

[cowboylady27]

Listenin to to this song, after two years, still burns, and makes me cry. My ex sang this to me after we broke up. I love it, but it hurts to listen to it..

[1376Biggdaddy]

this song used to make me sad....because the words are so true and i didnt want to believe it was me. I now know it is me and i am better as a memory than as her man. Just wanna apologize to my ex wife for all the hell i put her through

[NickMarx1]

Love always ends up ending then your sad :/ wish that wouldnt happen

[Jonwalker92]

....I'm going to go watch japanese porn now.

[oneNonly1fullofsome]

I was never, better as a memory

[mcv0214]

My true love is a forbidden true love. All I have are memories and never the true love I want.

[sweettori100]

i cry when i here this song, it remind how much i miss my late husband, he was 26 when he died, we were together 13years and marred almost four years when he died..we had are hard times but he will always be a memory to myself and to are boys.. i see him more every day in my boys....

[JamiesCryin1]

This song kills me. How I felt when my ex and I broke up. Don't even know what to say. And how I feel now.

[MeredithOD]

every guy i've ever known has been better as a memory lol

[Seanmystaa]

@MeredithOD change the type of guy you look for!

[MeredithOD]

@Seanmystaa Good idea!!! hahaha

[cathypetitt4]

RICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leppyrebel]

the man who i first heard this song with only made this song so true.....

[Justinsmommy412]

Now this is an awesome video!!! You did a really good job!!!

[countryboy1579]

i have told my ex the same thing and i really want to be wit her but her and her bf r doing really well but i broke up wit her cause it was better for her

[ThePhiledelphiaEagle]

I think of me and my crush, but he turned his back on me then he gong say u r like my little sister to me....

[cherelleislove]

[craigmackenzieful]

@1mojoone yu should be a preacher..

.lol

[cherelleislove]

@craigmackenzieful fuk u then

[TheCountryman25]

im not american im not country boy, but i like USA, the country music, and kenny chesney he's the king !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daisygonewild2]

So much of this song fits. It was forbidden love from the start, He tried to warn

me not to get too close, but we couldn't seem to be stoped. Better as a memory Yes, but so very hard to let go of. I only hope the memories of us are as treasured to him as they are to me. Moving on but I shall never forget you My Sharkman.

With Love, you Little Witch girl

[ryanhard1]

This song touches my heart as these were the exact word that I said to the woman I loved ........... rather still love but noone really gets it, its sad really that I let true love by but am happy in the consolation that she really has a life that she deserves may it be without me. Guess the hardest thing to do is to tell the person that you are in love with that you do not love them anymore.

[ndargitz]

I have a hard time trying to have my ex as just a memory. He is/was the ONE true love of my life...I don't know why I let him go but he seems happier and makes me miserable because I want to be happy beside him.

[TheNameMayBeBrittany]

day after day i went without hearing this song,not i feel 10 times better after letting him go... he is definantly better as a memory,than as my man (:

[gunnerbaby216]

this song is beautiful and as sooooooo much heart to it. i dont care if he didnt write the song, but he sings it soooooo well. it makes me cry to listen to the song. i think they should use it in new moon

[gabriellelemoine]

......my friends sis showed me this song b/c of a inssue with a guy i was with....all i can say i dont care who wrote the song......it deff. can make someone feel alot better about a guy.........

[Eduardo760805]

Yo conoci la musica de Kenny, por causalidad hace mucho tiempo y ahora muchos de mis amigos la han incluido dentro de sus albums favoritos, Kenny Chesney Music plus rest in playa del carmen and coronitas is the best

[sweetrluv91]

Everytime i heard this song it would make me cry..... Nothing lasts forever but memories are never better than the real thing

[goldenlsufan]

this is awesome song

[poger11]

beautiful song

[RowdyRacer17]

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but Kenny didn't write this song. Writing credit goes to Scooter Carusoe and Lady Goodman.

[cowboy891]

and? I guarantee nobody can sing it better than he can

[RowdyRacer17]

Simmuh down, buckaroo...I didn't malign K.C.'s singing ability. I merely interjected a FACT into this thread, for the benefit of those who were laboring under the misconception that he wrote this song.

[Kevsgirl234]

SOMEONE FINALLY RECOGNIZE'S SONG WRITERS !!!!!!! :) AWESOME :) Thank You

[mundanejane550]

Oh great, now I'm listening to country songs! What;s up with that is what I'd like to know?

[smj0607]

:(

i cried

[JamesTheTank]

To thy own self be true.

[JamesTheTank]

Beautiful, welcome to my favorites.

[devonkae]

love this song

[Thirdman09]

That is a really good portrail of that song, the pictures are great

[tastyTel21]

i went thru this during the start of 2008.i wish i could have heard this song then....

[Maureen712]

Sad but nice song by Kenny Chesney. *****

Thank you for sharing, bbudacious! :)

Maureen

[fuzzywuzzymauikitty]

This is me and my first love. Recently.

[jstinnett75]

this song is my life right now. sad but true.

[christopherkng89]

love this song its mt favorite

[Bennieluv18]

I love this song

but it reminds me so much of me that I can't help but cry when I hear it.

[thebadboy6666]

this is a good song

[SARAHH213]

where did you find the pics? Thanks :)

[JBsBgstFan]

Kenny Chesney said on Ellen that the song was about his marriage & divorce w/ Renee Zellweger and how life goes on and all. He seems like a real stand up honest guy. He never bashed her or tried to throw a pity party. Anyway, this new CD is awesome and this song ROCKS, so Thanks 08111986 for the video 5 Stars for sure ;)

[CountyLT76]

in the 60/60 interview he said he wrote this as a letter to 3 girls hes known throughout life

[xtremeatvrider89]

i found the one who i knew was the one. but ive been without her for two months now and my life is hell. she was my everything and now its all gone. i need her back. im not better as a memory. i cant stand being apart from her.

[41james2007]

I know how you feel it sucks

[fuzzywuzzymauikitty]

Aww... I hope it all works out.

[lschumach7]

this song so describes all those girls you like but just cant have i know it does for me id rather be there to help then help bring down and sometimes i just feel i am that way i distract people from bringing out all that they are

[jpeek1775]

I have a former (I've just gotten to old to say ex-)boyfriend. I thought we would be married with kids, in Edison, Georgia by now. But we both went our separate ways. I am very happy with my life and I hope he is too. This song was practically written for us, I thought that about the Garth Brooks' song-"Unanswered Prayers" now I think this one just speaks more truths about young love. I will always treasure the relationship we had-but he is better as a memory.

[submancl]

I love this song so much. It really hit home. I kept thinking that my wife would be better off without me. wasnt always a great husband to her and i almost did loose her. we are working on our marriage but i still sometimes think i would be better as a memory to her. it sucks to think that about yourself. i love my wife and would give my life for her. thank you kenny for this song....it really says what im thinking alot of the time!!

[surviver14]

i was just in a long distance relationship, and after i heard this song, i decided it wasnt going to well, i had my doubts bu, this was too far, wecouldnt see each other. shes really mad at me now and im tryin my best to help her forgive me, i was allshe had and i let her go, im an a-hole and i know, i feel terrible, and i cant indo this....:(

[chickdafamdenise]

I know what you mean. Sometimes we have to do what we have to do. You would have not been good for her if you couldn't give 100%. Time shows us things about our lives and about other people. I pray both your hearts will heal. It's time for you to let go and move on. You can't help her forgive you. She has to do that on her own. Peace.

[surviver14]

thank you so much, i thought i could change what ive done, but your right, i need to mpve on, thank you so much for the support, time doesnt alway heal everything, but i think it may just heal this....thank you....

[Josiedecember]

I agree that this is the best Kenny has done so far...

[babcuteg38]

Reminds me of my father. Sad

[tigresfanrosie]

This is such a beautiful song!

[ebetschart0211]

this song is so true and the video is perfect i was in a very unstable relationship for the past two and half years and wasn till recently i found the perfect guy was my bes friend who actually has been there for me in the middle of the night when im cryin or fussin bout someone else

[roblaurich]

Lovely video! Perfect song!

[HaveYouSeenMyPants]

This has to be the most moving song that kenny chesney has ever come out with

[1stwaterdog]

powerful song. i was a bartender for 18 years, this song speaks of my life back then, i am paying the price now, many special women have been in my life, and i didnt pay attention. i was "built to fade" back then,

[xkollx]

Don't think there is one yet. Could be wrong though.

[sweet5yea]

where is the actual vidio i cant find it what the hell it is pissing me off!!

[jch35vt39h206]

[Crazy4him0723]

He is so much better as a memory, he will always be in my heart forever, as the good person I remember him as, move on always...love forever

[floepkebest]

Has Kenny Chesney died ? How old was he ? What was wrong with him?

[DancerN650]

what??!! he's not dead!

[floepkebest]

Whoopsie =p

I thought there was somewhere a reaction "rip"...Or maybe it was from another vid, from Kenny Chesney. So I thought : "rest in peace' ; he died...

[truleah]

I thought I Remember was the song,OUCH this was my AL-B I hope he can rest in peace I think of him everyday and miss so much I forget the drama and pain that ended our love I hurt missing him need to get over it but love wont let me I did find new love and have moved on but alone time I remeber just cant pretend my whole world was flipped upside down and death dosent mean they are gone forever better as a memory, (needed to vent)

[mo44bo]

wow i love how i rlate contry music especialy this song so if youre reading this heres lookin at you kid

[hawkman113]

why is it that love will make you do some things that you wont usually do and stuff that you normally wont allow youreself to do

[stillmissheath]

because love's like that.

[hellyeahicp]

i trid to get him all year but it didnt work

but like the song says "Better as a memory"

i just want him to kno tht i will always love him

"I LOVE YOU JEFFERY DEWAYNE SMARTT JR."

[hfcbeattie]

I wanted to be what she wanted, I tried I fought hard. I changed. But in the end I was never what she needed. she knew and so did I. we let it go and she moved on, I cant, but I know its right. I know I am better a memory than her man......... wow what a great song and awesome video, great work. will some people be alone forever?

[stillmissheath]

no, becuz she made u into something u weren't. Some ppl are never happy with what they have. U sound like a great person to me....

[imcrazyforwar]

Song always brings a tear to my eye... i had a relationship fail, and its like my end of the story... and video made it more vivid... great job on it though

[northernrebel1992]

[Lovekenny22]

This video is AMAZING.

By far, the best i've seen for this song.

I signed up for You Tube just so I could comment. haha

You're awesome!

[gjmama]

Please help me....I love the man of life..??? How can wwe get it all back??????

[beantou]

Listen--unless you met him before he got married, you've never had it all. You are settling for crumbs when you deserve the whole pie, so does he, so does his wife. You are all missing out. Someone needs to find the strength to walk away. Life is too short for such misery. A true union from God is a blessing, not a curse.

[taterbug2125]

I love this song and sometimes it is better when they are just a memory. I love kenny's music.

[TearsDropsMN]

Beautiful song, so many people can relate to this song, Thanks Kenny for your music it touches so many peoples heart all over this world, love ya your number one fan Johnny.

[tracylmccormick]

anthony, you were honest to a fault, you saw me leaning!! you are better as a memory, but I miss you so much sometimes!!! Thanks Kenny for this awesome song, you are the best!!!!!

[chenko245]

I agree, this is one my favorite song that Kenny has ever sang

[coryrt12]

one of kennys best songs

[oshun32sea]

why do people wait till late in life to try to fulfill there dreams? when it would of been easier when they first met. I seen an old friend and he told me he loved me, well guess what i love him to now were are just dreamin' so if you really love someone don't wait till it is to late life is so short.

[08111986]

It would be great if only the people who see your comment, try to learn from it! You are so much right...

[Eddie92777]

i say the same thing, never sit in the back and wait and wait even though i do it as well but you have to fight it. throw it out there trust me you will want to know if the love with work or not, i rather her say get the hell away from me then me never knowing.. i did that shit in school and now with nothing... dont sit in the back

[gjmama]

CAN YOU HELP ME THE MAN OF MY LIFE IS SO DEVOUT CATHOLIC...HE WILL NOT GET PAST THE OLD FASHION COMMANDEMENTS  HE'S IN A 31 YEAR MARRIAGE. loves me heart and soul...but is pulled because of his devout ways. He truly loves me....please help me survive. Help me to become strong. Thank you Glory

[mike8175862]

@oshun32sea  you are so right, ive been experiencing the same thing lately

[Iceblueshoulder]

@oshun32sea @oshun32sea

Its never as easy as you seem to think it is.

Im in love with this women, But there is nothing i can do.

And she loves me.

But there are things that stand between us.

Just have to wait for the right time,

Dreams are what drive us forward, If we all get out dreams than whats left to fight for?

[tldrnkh2o2]

Life is too short.

[tldrnkh2o2]

Life is too short. 

[blacksmithindude]

@oshun32sea you can only do that so many times before you give up tho.

[BitingGrizzlies]

So beautifully depressing...I can relate to this song...in a way.

[pinkstarburst09]
