Notice how everyone is talking in the beginning? NOBODY is talking at the end of this song. He gets everyone's attention.

[@hannahkwon3129]

I was so annoyed when they were talking... How can you talk while he's singing.. I want to listen to him sing not you talk -_-

[@donesports1]

Awesome detail...

[@meldakavak2044]

This is just gold and you are too lucky to see him alive. Because his voice is basically blessing your soul... just... thanks for blessing my soul too.

[@timaustinw]

He is amazing. I bought tickets to this show and felt bad that it wasn't sold out because I thought he was sooooo fucking good. I've seen 65 concerts this year and he was phenomenal. I bought tickets because it was cheap and I didn't have plans. And then this song came out and I felt I was seeing something special. Fucking Barns. You are amazing!

[@timaustinw]

Solid Kara! I agree. This guy is fucking great!

[@chandlerguy3231]

Here are the song lyrics: --- I could see the setting Written in your face Freckles spread like constellations All over the place Well I could kiss you through the night Begging you to never go home Staring at your photograph Singing to you down the telephone So if you’re struggling to go to sleep tonight When you’re on your own beneath the lonely light Oh diamond if I ever crossed your mind Won’t you let me know Oh it’s hard Oh it’s hard To be alone Oh it’s hard Oh it’s hard To be alone I got half a bottle Staring back at me Empty pack of cigarettes To get me through the week Well I could kiss you through the night Begging you to never go home Staring at your photograph And singing to you down the telephone So if you’re struggling to go to sleep tonight When you’re on your own beneath the lonely light Oh diamond if I ever crossed your mind Won’t you let me know Oh it’s hard Oh it’s hard To be alone Oh it’s hard Oh it’s hard To be alone Move through the windy setting call it home Oh what a crowded place to feel alone She was a quiet girl when we were young What have we done What have we done Ohhhhhh (x3) Ooh Ohhhhhh Well if you’re struggling to get to sleep tonight When you’re on your own beneath the lonely light Oh diamond if I ever crossed your mind Won’t you let me know Oh it’s hard Oh it’s hard To be alone Oh it’s hard Oh it’s hard To be alone --- I hope you guys found these useful!

Thank you! Do you know if this song came ever out officially?

[@Kaczyfunny]

@@mirimirimiri1100 Im couriuose too so just leave it here :-)

[@amarualfaro6832]

@@Kaczyfunny I guess you guys already know but it came out a little while ago

[@chandlerguy3231]

Freaking amazing song. Period. It really sucks that Hard to Be Alone didn't make into "The Attractions of Youth" LP, which was released today. Truly enjoyed the album, would highly recommend it to anyone (though I think he played all but three of the tracks from the album at the El Rey).

[@mahmoodabdulbaqi824]

I bet alot of people are just now seeing this since barns has been posting about it.

[@mahmoodabdulbaqi824]

Still waiting for this 😢

[@angelarose403]

Saw him last year at Summerfest and had the privilege of meeting him a few months ago at a record store. Nice young man and hilarious too.

[@mirimirimiri1100]

Oh Barns! 💔 is there anyone in the world who doesn't want this song to be played for them?

[@Singinbluebird]

Thank you so much for sharing this----Barns is so fucking awesome. He is so funny, outgoing, and loud ( a true rock GOD! with a sexy ass voice) and then when he goes soft and sings Little Boy or a new amazing song like this...he shows how soft and vulnerable he can be too. He is so dynamic. I love him so much and hope see him live one day!

[@JoGray1987]

Love this song can't wait to hear it on the next album #beautiful

[@amieemery7766]

He played this at the concert I went to and said it was hard to be alone

[@F4mwp]

Gold on gold; artist of a lifetime

[@clippedwings225]

I know he's put out a studio version... but this is still my favorite

[@thefive8th741]

Very upset that this pandemic will most likely keep me from seeing Barns live. Just discovered his stuff in the list 6-8 months and I really want to see him perform, but I'm in Australia and the chances of him coming here are looking pretty slim.

[@lilschemppieembear510]

:( saddddd but the best song everrr

[@timaustinw]

How did this not make it onto his new album? How Barns? It's your best song.

[@chandlerguy3231]

I know, right?

[@jaydnjaydnjaydn3259]

It's coming with new album i think?
