There are two versions of Better Man on KZhead, one with Scott talking and one without. I always assumed the one without just cut his narration without adding anything new but today I learned differently! So of course I had to do my best to make a full version of this gorgeous song.
A few parts are missing due to Scott talking over them but I was able to salvage most of the song. I'm no audio mixing expert so some of the transitions aren't as smooth as I would like, but they were the best I could do.
I put the audio over the live performance videos, removing Scott where needed haha. Enjoy!
All rights to Taylor, Big Machine, Little Big Town, and whomever else is concerned.
Isn’t it funny how we’re all here, watching this, and thinking about different persons and different mistakes they made?
yes :(
this hits diffrent
This is Taylor's power. She has an almost unmatched ability to write an intensely personal song about what she experienced yet it make it utterly universal...
...and WE made. ;)
It doesn't matter it's your soul I love
Just hits different when it's acoustic and her voice.
I heard this and broke into tears
Hits different..... And a year later you realize you named a song she hadn't released yet 🤯🤯😉
its fucking brilliant! my fav tayswift song from a 38yr old male! lol it just hits different! a guilty pleasure is maybe the right phrase.
it blows my mind how effortlessly she sings this song with such control
She can sing all the pop songs she wants, but this is who she is. This is when she’s at her best. Just her and her guitar!
Her and her guitar and the naked truth of her painful life experiences. THAT is what makes this powerful. This happened to her. She survived this and yet she went on toi become even more famous after such a traumatic early relationship experience. She was *barely* legal to drink alcohol when this relationship turned her upside down and inside out. That is A LOT for any adult, and she was an adolescent whose prefrontal cortex wasn't fully wired into her lower brain yet. Heck, she wasn't old enough to rent a car from Hertz.
@@le_th_Considering our brains don't mature until about 25.
Spot on
Hope Taylor could re-record this in her Taylor’s version album🥺
Coming here from the future to tell you that she said she will probably include in in the Red re-recording
@@joaquinsolis3334 when omggg
Well seeing as she announced red is coming out in November, I’d be shocked if we didn’t see it
YOUR WISH IS TAYLOR’S COMMAND HUHUHUHU READY YOUR HEART ON NOVEMBER 19
this aged well
I love people in the crowd faces they are genuinely amazed. Thank you Taylor you make people happy.
I'm not a huge "Swifty" ......yet, but def can see her heart of gold when (you can just tell) she's smiling and looking at that girl in the audience that is losing her mind thinking "Taylor is singing and talking to me, for me!!!!??"""
In the original video it shows Taylor being introduced and that same little girl looking incredulously at her parents and saying "She's here?" before bursting into tears when Taylor walks past her. It's a very sweet moment. After seeing that you know why Taylor was smiling at her. kzhead.info/sun/rNSHe7GsmpiHbI0/bejne.html
This is more emotional than the taylor's version.
Agreed
Agreed, but fearless TV shows the vocal and emotional maturity of someone who’s come far from the time of a woman who once felt this way but has healed those emotional wounds because she no longer misses him. OG version holds more vulnerability and maybe in this live version sounds emotional as well, but her re-Recording is meaningful because it shows that has healed. Once an artist releases a song, it’s for us. ❤
this is like a sequel to 'tolerate it'
Tolerate it would be the sequel to Better Man.
here after the anounce of RED TV hoping she includes this on the tracklist
IT IS GONNA BE ON RED TY
@@sadiebird318 I KNOW I'M SO EXCITED WE WAITED 4 SO LONG
This is beautiful. I never knew that she wrote this until just recently.
Sameeee
I'd have been better if he'd have made me by being a better man damn❤
I know I’m probably better off on my own Than lovin' a man who Didn’t know what he had when he had it. And I see The permanent damage you did to me. Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic. I wish it wasn’t 4 am, Standing in the mirror, saying to myself: You know you had to do it. I know the bravest thing I ever did was run. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man. And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man, A better man. I know I’m probably better off all alone Than needing a man who could Change his mind at any given minute. And it’s always on your terms I’m hanging on every careless word Hoping it might turn sweet again Like it was in the beginning. But your jealousy, I can hear it now. You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around. You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun. No, you never thought I’d run. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man. And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man, A better man... Better man... I hold onto this pride Because these days it’s all I have And I gave you my best, And we both know you can’t say that... No, You can’t say that... If you were a better man... You would’ve been the one, If you were a better man, Yeah, yeah. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man. And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand And I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man, A better man... Better man... We might still be in love, if you were a better man, You would’ve been the one, If you were a better man
when she sings "sometimes" you can hear her twang, and i never noticed how much musicians and Taylor Swift does here is use her mouth for vocalizing. When she sings "Man" and I know..i had to say goodbye" when she sings know she's really doing well and over accentuating her vowels...oh i was gonna say that this is prob my fav song of hers and this is my fav version, which makes me frustrated i can't hear the whole thing the whole way through, but at the same time, it makes that night at the Bluebird all the more special for those who were in attendance.
Was just looking for the version without that as**ole Scott. THANK YOU
Listening to this and Riptide one after the other is a whole experience
I have a lot of respect for Little Big Town and they sing this song well but Taylor’s voice with this song is beyond gorgeous!!! ❤️😃
She brings my tears; I liked it when little big town released it. I feel it when she does it!
this one, by far, has the best audio, much much better.
I don’t know if I’m mentally prepare to hear this on November 19 🥺😭😭
Nov 12***
This is really well done, we don't see enough performances from Taylor like this.
This song had me in tears 😭
Thank you so much for posting this @Vickoridge So appreciate you doing your best to do this gorgeously vulnerable and powerful song about someone walking away from an abusive relationship despite still being in love with that person. I hope we someday get to see a full and complete acoustic version of this song performed from beginning to end. That said, I can only imagine that it must take a lot of courage for her, even today, to get up on stage and make herself completely vulnerable to a room full of strangers and just sing out whatever pain still resides inside her from that toxic relationship. I wouldn't wish that kind of abusive relationship trauma on any adult, and certainly not on someone in their early 20s. Just incredibly brave for her to get up on stage and perform this. You can almost sense her initial trepidation as she begins singing and then eventually just closes her eyes and belts it all out once she sees the audience smiling back at her. I'm glad the audience was so attentive and respectful.
Love this!! She sounds so goood I wanna cry 😭😭 Thank you so much for making it!
I'm happy it has live now
Thank you a thousand times for uploading this 🙏🏼 What a performance!
Always wonder why she wrote this just to have someone else sing it.
probably cause she doesn't write songs just to release them, and a lot of songs just don't make it onto the album, you don't know that while writing it.
i think this song at the time was particularly hard for her to sing on her tours, so she dropped it from RED and later asked lbt to sing it. i wish we had a studio version, but i understand her reasoning. this is heavy
@@andbriwaslike Yep a very emotional song, even when karen fairchild sang it she seem to know the emotion that was behind it- my guess.
Idk but I hope she records it, esp now bc her voice sounds great. I think that had she recorded it earlier it would sound a little strained, not that it would sound bad but still
@@andbriwaslike I don't think so. She did sing it on reputation tour
I like her singing it the best
I can’t wait for red 😭 I’m so happy it will be in the album 🙏🏻
Ok this gave me chills. Jesus 😭
Y'ALL THIS IS GONNA BE ON RED TAYLORS VERSION WE WON
You're the best Taylor I love your music since you were 15❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
I love singing this song, feels so good
I came from Reddit! Thank you for making this!

Thank you for doing this! I absolutely adore this performance and always wanted to hear the full version (or fullest version possible) and I'm so stoked that this is out there!
Thank you so so much for making this video❤️ I can never thank you enough ❤️😊 I wish your KZhead channel to be more prosperous ❤️
I don’t don’t know what to do with my life right
This song was a MILESTONE IN MY LIFE
Finally I've found the full song video!!!!!🥺😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️😻😻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I didn't know she wrote this it's some where iv been an never going back beautiful song
The woman is too much for words, she is a gift to us all.
Omg she needs to make this song!!!!!!!
She wrote and sold it to Little Big Town. It doesn’t compare in my opinion, Taylors version is best!
THANKYOU FOR DOING THIS omgdfjkghsdf
Some of the saddest and most relatable words Taylor ever said was, "You would've been the one if you were a better man". I'm sure every woman on Earth knows exactly how that feels.
I gave you 17 yrs, hoping one day you would have actually loved me... well now I have a better man. , loves me like I've never been loved before.. ❤
Best TS Song ever!
yeah Taylor Country is just more authentic i think more for her, i like how she says "man" sounds very country.
2:59💖💖💖
Best part 🤍🤍
I haven't ever been in a romantic relationship. Why do I feel hurt after listening to this song?😢
Thank you Russell ❤I love you ❤
She absolutely slays at country

the truth about abusive relationship, the narcissistic partner will never admit that their partner gave them the best. narcissists will always tell people that their exes are the worst human being ever
She is my lady
She's got real pipes.
Omg the 1
❤❤
1:19 ❤
I think the is my favourite Taylor Swift song/performance ever. It's absolutely spine-tingling. Needs a proper release, but that'll probably never happen because of BMR.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I love this song ever since it was singing by little Big town but I love Taylor singing it is on great I know Taylor wrote the song.
❣❣
Alison is a great taylor
Anyone else extremely confused why the other versions of this video are missing the second verse??? Second verse hits different
because the original recording had Scott talking over her singing the second verse.
no. cause if you watch the other videos basic common sense tells you it was edited .
She sounds comfortable.
😭💖
💔
Arthur greanleaf love you xoxoxo ❤😢
Does anyone know where I can download the audio of this. I will love you forever
Everyone.
This could be about Scott, who was in the audience! How could you Scott?!!!
3:07 so sorry i got sick
Who's the guy on stage ? Is he the larger part of LIttle Big Town?
That's Craig Wiseman one of Nashville's best songwriters
Eleven Twelve
I’m becoming a swifty
Isn't this like a varied version of Tolerate it or like vice versa
Hey mommie its taylor my favoerite song gram and elfe
Thanks to have removed the traitor out of our view
Gram is tina
I think it would be much better if she impromptu changed the lyrics while staring at that D-bag Scott, Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again But I don't miss you, and I just wish Scott🤮 was a better man. And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand And I don't miss you, I just wish Scott😡 was a better man, .......
Lol
Malissa swift
I think she was singing to Scott B a bit… wish he were a better man.
Taylor this is dusty my kids are Shelby and cobra Ariana same mom
The best song! Better than………! Go Taylor!
Not what ? Free
This is highly edited, check out the audience video on YT
Is this tune about the same card she wrote “all too well” about?

why do people do this? I don't get the appeal? Esp when 6 other people have done it on this page? maybe it's cathartic?
