Tyler Childers - A Song While You're Away 

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.

Who else is excited to finally get this released 🙌 🎉

Who else is here after listening to the official release?

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

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

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

Who else loves his music because they've lived it ..

Who still listening?

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

Came back after seeing this is finally getting released on the Twisters soundtrack

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🫶🏼

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.

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.

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.

"Wait, is it your or you're?" Red Barn Radio, titling this video: "yes"

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...

Discovered him this year “2019” his voice is hypnotizing.. respect ✊🏽 from a Navajo from New Mexico.

You here hungry and I was too. Now in my 50’s with 3 kids and a beautiful wife. Line hits hard!

Agate white wedding dress turquoise on your ring. Upright bass violin as you walk the aisle to me. Beautiful lyrics. This man is a very talented wordsmith Keep em coming brother !!!!

I grew up in Kentucky. I left there 11 years ago and have lived all over. But every time I hear Tyler Childers it takes me to a little farm outside Midway...

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

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.

dude i’ve loved this song for so long and and i’m so glad it has a studio release…

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

Everything this man does is gold.

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

Tyler. Please release this the exact way it sounds here. Perfect.

Still better than the twister version in my opinion 🔥👌

I want this man to make it BIG.. but also want to keep him our secret for as long as possible... ya feel?

“Trying to hold on to the lovely through the bitter of our times” oh my that is amazing.

Tyler, please record this one!

The only real music I have heard in my 33 years. Old soul, keep singing.

Dear Lord, thank you for Tyler Childers, Amen🙏❤

A studio version coming out on the Twisters soundtrack is going to be so 🔥

LYRICS: Up in your nephews room Playing on his cousins guitar I wrote a song for you You have done drove off Everything I need My box & my tumbleweed I picked it up on the way To Flagstaff years ago I was hanging on to everything You had the grace to show You were young & you were hungry Lord knows I was hungry too We were both Flat out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread & I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times Looking over the hill At the lights of your hometown I wrote this song for you Thinking of the way we met A girl home from school & a boy just passing through I got a job as a cut man At a house just down the road I had never been to town before & I didn't know a soul I was young & I was hungry Lord knows you were hungry too We were both Flat out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread & I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times Agate white wedding dress Turquoise on your ring Upright bass & violin As you walk the isle to me I was young & I was hungry Lord knows you were hungry too We were both Flat out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread & I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times

Fucking Beautiful.

This young man has such a powerful voice seems to touch your soul

you can see the passion weeping from his skin. Tyler is a true badass

"He said drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing" big star bound for sure! Washington state loves your music brother

Up in your nephews room Playing on his cousins guitar I wrote a song for you You have done drove off Everything I need My box & my tumbleweed I picked it up on the way To Flagstaff years ago I was hanging on to everything You had the grace to show You were young & you were hungry Lord knows I was hungry too We were both Flat out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread & I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times Looking over the hill At the lights of your hometown I wrote this song for you Thinking of the way we met A girl home from school & a boy just passing through I got a job as a cut man At a house just down the road I had never been to town before & I didn't know a soul I was young & I was hungry Lord knows you were hungry too We were both Flat out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread & I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times Agate white wedding dress Turquoise on your ring Upright bass & violin As you walk the isle to me I was young & I was hungry Lord knows you were hungry too We were both Flat out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread & I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times Show less

This music is great to people who have feelings they can't let out. His music make me reminisce and want to be better!

You're one of the most soulful artists I've ever heard, just keep doing what you do, the people who are meant to hear your music will!! We need more people like you singing songs for sure!!!

This song omg ! And forgot to mention that I love how he plays the 🎸 . "We we're both flat our starving " each lyric wow wow who lived hasn't lived this ? Weren't we all young and hungry ? What a song ! ❤❤❤

Been listing to Tyler for quite some time now, I hope and pray I can one day start my car and a song by him would be playing on the radio .. Tyler you sing and tell stories the best way possible! Everyone thanks you for blessing us with what you love to do

I was just introduced to his music and wow, I love this. He has heart, soul and sings what life really is. He has something most people don't understand. He just has that voice I could listen to all day. Harlan Road is my favorite.

This man.. Holy hell. 4 years in and I can't get enough. You are such an amazing talent. Thank you for every single song.

Just when you think you've heard every Tyler Childers song. This is AWESOME!

I find myself singing this song out of the blue all the time. I think that is what makes a song great. If it inserts into your life with your input, then its destined for greatness.

I've lived it from Oneida to White House road, All real I feel it. Thank You

I just found this guy last night! And the thought of catching up to all of his music thrills me!! I've been listening non stop whenever I got the chance to! This must be my best find of 2019!

Never get tired of hearing this soul. Hes the only one that can make me feel at peace.

Back about seven years ago. I moved to paintsville ky and this young boy came up to me sitting on my skateboard playing my acoustic. It was one of his cousins. Him and his friends was shocked I didn't know the name. I was a city boy! Now my heart's in the hills.

Absolutely love to hear this man sing Listen to him everyday. Waylon is the only other I will listen to daily. @TylerChilders is unreal talented

Hey Tyler. Coud u please record this. This is the song I play every mourning at 5 am. When my feet hit the floor right. Just before I go underground. From a southern wv by God coalminer. Thank u for the real music. From all us coal miners

When he smiles singing “lord knows, you were hungry too,” 🥺🥺💜 2:45

Saw Tyler at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa about a month ago. It was nothing short of impressive, and I was nothing short of tore up. The mark of a real soul, he was out at the bars after the show drinking with his fans. The man is a true showman, and truly one of a kind. God bless.

Wordsmith is a great way to put it. Keep up the great work Tyler. Cant wait to get off work every day, zip home, and rock your tunes. Great work. See you in Portland in November! Cant wait

He is amazing because not only is his voice by itself incredible, but he lets the guitar tell the story as well

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

I've now heard the latest version of this song and they are both great. I have to say I like the stripped-down version better. It's because I always lean towards acoustic and left! Keep the great music coming our way, Tyler. Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you tube.

Best country I've heard this lifetime. The bees fkn knees right here.What a legend he gonna be.

Tyler Childers. Top shelf. Love your music.Great Ameration from dixie county FL.

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!

Tyler’s RedBarn performances beat anything that has made mainstream for him. Waiting for an album that showcases him and Senora; country music requires a great reset that only they can provide.

Can't. Get. Enough!!!!!

one of the very best iv ever heard he sings from his heart and it shows i recall when my dad would play and sing when i was little and how it made me feel thank you tyler good work son

man, 8 years has been a long time. excited for this to finally get an official release!

He’s so amazing people can’t even comprehend 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.

He tells such a wonderful story, his voice is unique, you can tell he is singing from the heart and clearly has a passion for this. I haven't been able to find another artist quite like him yet, and I search all of the time.. While I have many artists I like, and are in the same genre of new-grass / Americana / alt country, whatever you want to call it, nobody compares imho.

There's not one song of his that isn't good - and I have now listened to most of them. This guy is just outstanding, an outstanding songwriter and singer.

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

Such a beautiful song. I just love everything he does.

Some guy said Tyler isn’t country, if Tyler isn’t country nobody is.

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 RU-vid 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

Can’t believe this is getting released on Friday for the twister movie. 8 years later and we’re finally getting it.

I just don't understand why "shit" goes top fourty. This is great.

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.

Absolutely beautiful "Trying to hold on to the lovely.." Beautiful

I haven't written a song in years, or a decent one ever. But this man reminded me why I love music in the first place. What a voice. That is authenticity.

Such a criminally underrated performer

I love these RED BARN videos. I love WATCHING Tyler perform.!!!! I watch all day.!!

This song is finally about to be released im so excited

I'm so obsessed with Tyler childers, he puts his soul into his music when he plays and you can feel it every time!

Truly astounded by this young man's talent, a true old soul is living in that young man.

Up in your nephew's room playing on his cousin's guitar I wrote a song for you You have done drove off with everything I need My box and my tumbleweed I picked it up on the way to Flagstaff years ago I was hanging on to everything you had the grace to show You were young and you were hungry Lord knows I was hungry too We were both flat-out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread and I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times Looking over the hill at the lights of your hometown I wrote this song for you Thinking of the way we met: A girl home from school and a boy just passing through I got a job as a cut man at a house just down the road I had never been to town before and I didn't know a soul I was young and I was hungry Lord knows you were hungry too We were both flat-out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread and I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times Agate white wedding dress Turquoise on your ring Upright bass and violin As you walk the aisle to me I was young and I was hungry Lord knows you were hungry too We were both flat-out starving For something worthwhile to lose You were my bread and I was your honey Up against the dark red wine Trying to hold on to the lovely Through the bitter of our times

Tyler to most here in the Appalachian mountains is just home feels like home sounds like home his music is home

Listening since 2016...… Great job Tyler.,. You and the food stamps are always heard

Pure. That grabs your soul and gets the blood flowing like a wildfire.

This guy makes me cry. I cant help it.

#1 now and i dont reckon i can recall someone in my lifetime of music listening that has deserved it more

great tunes out of ky

The way he paints a picture in your head as he’s singing is true talent. When he’s singing about her walking down the aisle, it gets me every time. God bless you Tyler.

He needs to release this on an album, ASAP.

Tyler is a gift. He's spearheading a supernovae of fresh air of contemporary American music. 🎶 💜

I think Tyler Childers is freaking amazing!!!! He is the sweetest guy to meet as well as a damn fine music artist!!!!❤️

He's the best to come along since Keith Whitley. Absolutely love this kid!!!

Just waiting for his new studio version to drop in 2 days🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

The way he sings trying to hold on to the lovely through the bitter of our times. Gives me goosebumps the ease he sings so purely is inspiring to say the least.

This man is incredible!
