If you’ve seen the video for Trent Harmon’s latest single, “You Got ‘Em All,” then you know it features a couple, played by Trent and a leading lady, who are on opposite sides of the country, attempting to pursue their own dreams and live their lives while being separated from one another. Talking about where the idea came from, Trent says, “We were going through treatments, and a treatment is just an idea of what they see in their mind’s eye of what they want on the screen while reading the lyrics to the song or listening to the song. And I read a few different treatments and I stopped reading them after I read this particular idea for the video. I said, ‘That’s it’. That’s literally what was going on in my life.”
Trent wrote “You Got ‘Em All” after his girlfriend of seven years moved to Thailand to follow her dream of teaching abroad and Trent says, “I was living here. My significant other was here. We were on opposite ends of the field, if you will, and I said but we still had to get up every day and try to accomplish what goal it was we were going for.”
Trent loves that the video is beautiful but simple and that it so eloquently brings the heart of the song to life in a way that is relatable to everyone, and that, he says, is “art well done.”

“So we were going through treatments, and a treatment is just an idea of what they see in their mind’s eye of what they want on the screen while reading the lyrics to the song or listening to the song. And I read a few different treatments and I stopped reading them after I read this particular idea for the video. I said, ‘That’s it’. That’s literally what was going on in my life. I was living here. My significant other was here. We were on opposite ends of the field, if you will, and I said but we still had to get up every day and try to accomplish what goal it was we were going for. And the video, while it is beautiful it was actually quite simple to put together, which I think is great. You know in a medium like video if you can just get what we’re trying to give you, listen to the song, it’s all beautiful and you can soak it in, that’s art well done. It’s universally relatable.”
