So you sailed away

that's up to the listener. I disagree with you, no one's going to win that argument.
Gary Allan still sings it better.
ummmm yeah the lead singer of Vertical Horizon wrote this, it's not a cover. Gary Allan covered it actually.
Pstanley 57?????????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Remember now it's Jesus?????
Vertical horizon didnt write this song but its a nice cover. It's not so bad :)
This is a great song.. It's sweet if you think about it. ;)
kvnshop
that little tinge of bitter anger in the end of the last chorus - where it changes to I don't want you back is perfect. And brutal. :(
God Bless You Gene, too!!!!!!!!! :-b
Are u Albert Elrod now sorry just so confused but thght u sd u were Mexican???? Riddles;)
Pandora but then someone comes & sees u I wk b4 u get married! Go on honeymoon & they die;( the song!!!!! N
Dying of Boredom I hear u no comment;(
This was my favorite song for a long time. It helped me cope with everything I went through.
I had that feeling once but it subsided
sometimes only after you lose someone then you realized its the biggest mistake you ever made, sad...
Musically the two version are very similar, have to say this is the first time hearing Vertical Horizons take on it, unless I heard it before in the background and thought it was Gary then.
Vertical horizon is amazing love there music
Even though im a country girl, i still find this song amazing! (:
I love Vertical Horizon, they're just amazing. Amazing song.
I like Gary Allans version better you can feel the hurt because of him losing his wife I love this version but I think Gary's is better
Love it
Sigh...prett y sums up my feelings right now.
Jan, I know you will read this. I hope you are doing fine. I can t tell you how much I am sorry for all the things we went through since we meet. We can move on. It will take time no matter what is going on in our lives. What is done is done. Take care and God Bless.
Gene
The problem I have with the Gary Allan cover is that it sounds almost exactly like the original. I would've liked it better if he put a more personal touch on it.
ilovechinese c h i c k e n
great song!
Sums up my past relationship . I did put it in a letter, but I never sent it...it was more for me than him. It was an amazing time with him, but he doesnt want me back. He never truly wanted me for much anyway.

love this song! :)
It sounds like pstanley57 isn't a musician. Covers aren't just about what the song means. It's also about respecting another musician. I mean, orchestras have been covering Mozart for years, but I don't see anyone asking them to stop. In anycase, often there are times when someone else has said it better, so why not use it?
tenbean
never knew that either!! wow still a good song
pstanley57
I know the reason Gary Allan covered this song, and I stand by my opinion. I don't like it when someone uses other people's words to convey his emotions. It cheapens both the words and the emotion. It's like one of those cheesy greeting cards dripping with sappy sayings. If you mean it, you should write it yourself. Even if less artfully done, it will be much more sincere.
I didn't ever realize Gary Allen covered the song! I just thought he wrote it for his wife after she committed suicide.... Sad story
I prefer Gary Allan's version cause I heard it first and I'm use to hearing, but I like this one too. Great song.
If you knew the reason as to why Gary covered this song you will be very touched.
Very nice. Sweet and sad. Really good.
Sweet song
it sucks that these lyrics completely fit me right now
awww forgot all about this songgg its sooo good i love pandora
great song. great lyrics.
Missed this song. :>
vertical horizon did it first in 98-99. its on the ablum aboave and it says 99. gary allen did it later, al thought they are both good, i was just clearing this up
ryhno81798
I have heard both versions, and i like them equally as much! Great lyrics just make a song, no matter whoes singing it
nigh7shad3
this song takes me back to high school, circa '98

Boo the Gary Allen version. Just heard it for the first time. The only thing worse than a country singer doing a cover a rock song is when a rock singer does a cover of a country song.
:)
gary allan did this song
OH MY GOOOOOOOSHHH I NEVER GET TO HEAR THIS SONG AND I LOVE IT THANK YOU PANDORAAAAAA A A A A A A
Ah crap, so damn close...And then, no.

Vertical Horizon did this song first, Gary Allan covered it. I like the VH version better, not as twangy :)
kkrautwurst
Gary Allen - that's where I recognize this song from. Does anyone know whether Vertical Horizon did the original version?
pstanley57
Not really a big fan of Vertical Horizon - I think they are pretty generic sounding, but I like this song. I hadn't heard it in years.
I don't know which version I like better. I don't think you can go wrong either way.
