Tyler Childers "Born Again" | Sun King Brewery Barrel House Session

I miss this Tyler.

Love this tune, remind me of certain people. A real tear jerker

The songwriting is so good, probably his best from a lyrical standpoint.

This warms my little southern Buddhist heart ❤️

This song is helping me in a really big way right now. Heartfelt thanks for it. That we can be reborn gives me a lot of hope. Thank you -- for your art and for your wisdom!

That's some top song writing and performing.

FUCKING GET IT RED! PLAY THAT SHIT BROTHER!🤠

Been sober for 2 and a half year this man was a big help ✌️ one of the best your ears will ever hear

Song goes by so fast. ;)

Tyler's on team Jesus now. Hallelujah

Yellowstone Season 3 episode 4 20 minutes into episode brought me here. And since then this goes follows me to everywhere!

Its like a Native American lullaby

Should be considered a legend in his day beautifulSo heartfelt he tells the story of everyone that fights for your lives

Occult country is amazing 🖤🖤

Amazing penmanship ! Such a great song !

“Tryna feed a hungry den” gets me every time ! Love it !

These lyrics are simply amazing. I love the story of transitioning from one body/form to the next as it spans over time.

And his final verses really hit home as to where his mind is coming from and I feel it alludes many of this genre's traditional (christian) listeners. When he talks about him and "someone else" creating the world out of a mighty bang and then came up with the game to play called being born again, it really deviates away from what many would draw parallels to something in Christian theology (I've seen many draw parallels to his referring to Adam and Eve). But that's just so far off from what theology he's actually referring to here. The born again "game" he plays is directly referring to Brahma splitting into two to create man and women and the universe being born out of the massive cracking of an egg. And from that creation, life possesses Atman/Brahman in this cosmic dance with Vishnu (sustainer) and Shiva (destroyer), thus buttressing the fact that this song is about reincarnation and it does not carry Christian undertones.

Brahma created the universe and in Hindu thought, Brahman is the essence that permeates all the universe and Atman is the "piece" of Brahman that is attached to the individual soul. Meaning that Atman is Brahman (I.e. we are one with the universe), meaning we are divine and carry that divine signature.

And it goes even deeper when he says he's playing a game. This refers to the ego and how we mask ourselves and get caught up in "the game" of living a particular life or taking the form of a particular person. It is all an illusion, because we are all actually a form of Brahman playing this game of being born again. And it's said he created life out of boredom and is now caught up playing the game and "acting" in this cosmic theater. And it's on the individual soul (atman) to realize it is one in the same with Brahman (cosmic soul), and to break out of the ego that builds and builds when we get too sucked into playing this particular character.

For western minds, simply put, we are "God", we wear masks, and are simply playing like we are someone else. When "God" created this game of being born again, he's directly referring to Hindu creation and how this entire experience is like a theatrical stage where God plays characters and gets amusement out of it (while also getting sucked into the role-playing and succumbing to ego).

It is absolutely beautiful how he tells this story through the lens of an Eastern Kentucky mind. Stunning.

GREAT Lyrics!!!!

Tyler please make us something new. You set the bar high enough; know one will see it from where they stand. I'm thankful you didn't go wild and just throw out songs like most. However, you're starving us! It'd make many good days for many folks to enjoy a Tyler Childers song for the 1st time another time.

Country squire.. lady may... Follow you to Virgie.. I swear to God.. all your'n.. feathered Indians...etc. Tyler Childers makes for a happier life.

My favorite Tyler songs are those where it is just him and his guitar. This song and performance were perfection.

That dang fox

Jesus said we must be Born Again, meaning, being born of the spirit of God. He alone is our salvation.

Sounds like he is describing the "Allen Watts" idea of, if you were God what would you do.
I think the idea goes something like, you would create a universe and choose to forget you created it so you could experience the universe through different eyes while constantly being "born again" every time you die.
I probably messed it all up but it's way more coherent when Watt's explains it.

I've heard this song a hundred times, but this is the first time I heard this song. What a song

Just discovered this song today. I'm bawling. We are connected. This gives me chills. It resonates truth. What a beautiful person Tyler Childers is. A rare gem, that one.

This song gave me cold chills, i had dream me and my brother played this game being born again 1970 in kentucky.
Iam writting a book about it.
Tyler childers is my favorite country singer

Show the neck of the guitar. Tyler killed this though

Show the guitar. Can’t see what chords he’s playing

In one hundred years people will still be sitting in bedrooms or back porches or campfires singing these songs. Probably a lot longer. Someday people will understand and appreciate just how talented of a songwriter this man is and he will get the recognition he has earned.

I"m done

My mom passed away suddenly last December. She was only 57. I’ve listened to this song a lot today thinking about her. I hope she came back as something cool and I might get to meet her again some other time.

😢😢😢😢 I am Happy !!! 😊😊

Dude is a beasts

Speechless, nice reflection. Thanks

❤❤❤

He’s gone full liberal too there are

Can I just say this ginger has a soul or is that not right because he does he just does

One of the best songs ever written

Food for thought, I wish we all had a bit more empathy

What mic is he singing into, anyone know??

Love the song but what is it about?

TC is a storyteller. John Prine is smiling.

What a beautiful song.
