My favorite Tyler song is always the one im listening to at the time. This guy is just flat out amazing...cant believe ive missed him for the better part of a decade...Imagine seeing him in some back in the day tiny little venue...

[@TheSparky0890]

It was fantastic back in the day of small cenues

[@inthewoods999]

Get tired of hearing people whine that he isn't top 40...the man gets to write and play as sees fit...the type of people who want to hear him will hear him,,, the people who listen to top 40 can't comprehend this kinda music anyhow...Keep doing your thing brotha.

[@c.harris3411]

inthewoods Well said. Childers ain’t mainstream, I mean he wears workin boots not pretty boy cowboy boots. His viewers shouldn’t be mainstream either.

[@Melinacabin]

inthewoods well said.

[@justinmiller3241]

Preach man

[@meredithwilliams4671]

He'll never be mainstream, if we're lucky. That would ruin everything.

[@Melinacabin]

I sure hope he doesn’t sell out into the likes of mainstream music but I didn’t like hearing his music over the speakers at Tractor Supply Co. then just after that I was at Cabela’s and they had Sturgill on 😔 grrrrr I was upset!

[@kellyhouk9478]

“We were both flat out starving for something worthwhile to lose” man that lyric is amazing.

[@Shanefilan-1]

Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….Love ❤️

[@nolancrider]

It’s crazy that he has these songs written but doesn’t release them for years. This one, for example, is at least 8 years old but he just released it for that Twisters movie

[@meghenelise6839]

I can’t get over him. I’m obsessed. Every new song I hear by him I’m pulled in deeper and deeper. Thank you Tyler

[@sammyevans3455]

Same here

[@IvanLendl87]

Meghen Elise Agreed. He's absolutely the real deal. He's the ultimate antidote to the commercial swill being peddled by Music Row and Clear Channel.

[@jenniferworks821]

Me too I think my family is tired of hearing him haha never.......my absolute favorite all-time singer-songwriter Tyler Childers

[@jenniferworks821]

I was having a I really rough day a few weeks ago and I said I need music. Turned on Tyler and I felt so much better

[@CaliforniaCarpenter7]

Yikes... Look out, guys, Meghan's hiding in the bushes with a voodoo doll and a sharp knitting needle 😟😲

[@Itsthereallyme]

Who else is excited to finally get this released 🙌 🎉

[@PONDEROSA-65]

Yessssss!!!

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

Right, on the Twisters soundtrack. I was looking for the album version.

[@ryanskinner5299]

what do you mean?

[@wesweldon8350]

Do what???

[@Wolversquall]

It is ?

[@AudibleVisibIe]

These red barn sessions are some of his best work, certainly of the live variety. Sue me I love all his shit, recent works included. I understand he's in a better place now, which obviously affects his music, and I'm glad. But man, the vibes here were insane

[@Bruvmode]

I’ve came back to this song hundreds and hundreds of time. Just a masterpiece

[@wwaldo2525]

💯

[@michaelmcneilly1351]

Tyler Childers is the greatest secret to Americana music. I don't understand how he is not completely famous.

[@shannonzuver6535]

Frank Clifton really ?? Hes so beyond that. But ...do you not know Loretta . Ans so on and on!! Hes way to good for average fame and it takes a certain understanding to appreciate those that truly move you with their gift!! No? Enjoy my mountain kin

[@BlsBls-gr1ll]

Michael McNeilly dude, he’s so fucking good!!!

[@Capt_kook]

It's country not "americana"

[@vegwell]

I think he will be. In just a year since you wrote that he has kind of skyrocketed - still within a somewhat narrow genre but it's pretty amazing what's happened so far.

[@okieNoodler24]

“Americana ain’t no part of nothing” Tyler Childers

[@dwaynelikens7156]

Tyler Childers is our Bob Dylan of this era I swear. Keep up the good work Tyler. Proud of you.

[@coldbeer2011]

[@wwaldo2525]

Fuckin beauty

[@carab566]

Actually makes a lot of sense. He's actually said he stays away from Nashville so he can stay home and he is fully immersed in everything, so when he rights him music you really feel it. You feel the emotion, you feel that he means what he's saying, something I love about tyler

[@AP_UConn_Yanks]

Amen brother.

[@bryceimbriale4428]

I know this is cliche any every major fan of someone says this, but Tyler Childers has wrote songs that have carried me at my lowest through multiple points in my life, weather they were written 10 years ago or yesterday. Every couple months I find one of his songs that resonates so well with me, my feelings, thoughts, and life at the moment. This man isn’t just top 40, he’s top 10 in my book. One of my favorite artists ever. Cheers to you Tyler🫶🏼

[@sydney6946]

me too :) tyler is a gift from God

[@LongueDuree]

🫡

[@papichulo5552]

As old of a soul as there is. 29 going on 129. How someone writes this and Shake the Frost at 19 years old is beyond me.

[@clintcollins6540]

I felt that in my soul. I've lived and seen more at 30 than most men have at 100... And that's why Tyler is my favorite artist today. He is one of the only musicians I feel like can actually relate to old soul's like ourselves. You can just tell he's been there and lived it too.

[@samuelkilduff1883]

Welcome to the club 35 going on 146 lol😂

[@theonlyDB]

[@tinapayne6654]

[@melissasims-xx2zk]

Love this song. Both this version and the new one. Love the raw sound of his voice! But the new version is so smooth. Both totally awesome! Love Tyler!

[@lukewellington2929]

His mix of Kentucky bluegrass and country is better than any artist out there right now. Hes twice as good as Luke Combs or Morgan Wallen. Haven't seen such a unique lyricist and great vocalist in years. Any poor country boy or guy whose been in a tough time can relate to his music. Comes straight from the heart.

[@wwaldo2525]

Twice? He’s an actual legit artist it’s not comparable

[@chasenuckols9417]

This seriously might be the best song I’ve ever heard

[@CCrawford522]

Who else is here after listening to the official release?

[@austinlarsen2419]

New release cannot top this one !

[@richardmoya267]

Haven’t heard it.

[@McHaggis1488]

Yeah, I heard the new one and came back to the good version. I'm sorry, I was one of his biggest fans, but his music lacks something anymore. The last two albums have been so disappointing for me. I was stoked when he announced he was releasing an album version of "Help Me Make It Through The Night" but it was a let down. Says something when I'd rather watch a version shot in a bar with people talking in the background to a polished, studio cut

[@JessieMerritt-i7m]

This has always been one of my favorites!

[@samuelkilduff1883]

I had to show my wife, she thought it was new! I said no you need to hear it how it should be!

[@justinb690]

Who’s still listening and loving Mr. Childers??

[@mahealani5254]

yes sir

[@JasonGunter-h9q]

I haven't heard anyone else,anywhere else that sounds like he does. He's the real thing out of the Kentucky hills.

[@wwaldo2525]

Is water wet?

[@Buckethead1074]

Anyone else notice the subtle smile when he sings "thinking about the way we met, a girl home from school, and a boy, just passing through"? You can tell that's a real memory.

[@RG-rl6hj]

I love watching him reflect at times like this.

[@alexazzopardi9914]

astute observation..

[@ow_oso]

Gosh I had zero idea he made this back in the purgatory era! Tyler never fails to sing exactly what we’re feeling 🫡

[@calebbarr7007]

How could anyone listen to this and not be touched in some way.. let alone thumbs it down. This dude is one of the greatest and most authentic doing this thing and we are blessed to have the opportunity to hear it.

I found Tyler’s music this month and he was in town in April…..man I was just a few months late. Such Gold and legendary artist. I’ve been learning his songs on guitar these past few days and it just wonderful.

[@johnathonmounce2265]

Wtf took you so long

[@buddymanstv7799]

Tbh I was heavy on the blues, then I started covering A lot of Neil young songs to get used to cowboy chords. Then I started listening to country to learn more about country tunes and licks this year and got into LukeCombs. I started following a KZbinrs name Riley Taylor who does covers and one of his cover vids was Tyler Childer-Feathers Indians and when I heard the tune I was hooked, and I’ve been jamming Childer heavy these past few days. Just bought two of his albums yesterday haha even tho I have Spotify I like to buy CD n vinyl if I can find them. So yeah, now I’ve been learning Childers Tunes. Which has really improve my chord progressions also. But I’m glad I found Childers music, I love it.

This music isn’t for everyone because not everyone understands what he is saying. If you have never struggled, loved, lost, hurt, or had to push though times you didn’t think you would make it, you won’t get what he is saying. His music and lyrics are raw, real, and unapologetically in your face truth about real life.

[@BD-ln4ku]

I'm born and raised at the foothills if THE GREAT SMOKEY MOUNTAINS AND TYLERS music is true to the life I've lived!! A TALENT WELL BEYOND HIS YEARS!! WILL BE ON MY "BUCKET LIST" TO sit in his presence as he sings these stories that exubes LIFE!

[@jacobsmith3517]

A song while you're away is almost word for word the story of me & my wife and our 20 year journey. Our love was so great that we didnt hesitate taking advantage of it as dumb young kids until one day 20 years later we almost killed it. As her and I struggled to hold onto ourselves and losing ground quickly, God found us you on KZbin and helped remind us of the awesome tru people we once were. About that same time we found arlo mckinley and his music was a sobering view of what life would be if we gave in as we were both running out of steam fighting to let go of demons and hold on to each other. I'm not going to say what was in my head as I was adjusting to the thought that the marriage wasn't gonna pull thru. But I was scared of losing her, myself and It was killing me faster then my demons. I owe almost everything good in my life to you two for the honesty and the fact that you were able to use your gift to paint the picture from which we are able to easily see thru the dark focus on what right. From the bottom of my soul thank you Tyler! You truly save my life
