Tyler Childers has released a studio recording of his song “Song While You’re Away” for the soundtrack from the upcoming movie Twisters.
The third single to arrive from the soundtrack album (due in full on July 19th), “Song While You’re Away” is a heartfelt ballad, capturing the gritty-voiced realism and Americana poetry that Childers is a master of. Starting with a simple arrangement built around a piano part, the song eventually blossoms into an acoustic soundscape colored by pedal steel, mandolins, and harmonizing guitar lines.
