Woodlands music icon Hayes Carll releases new single ‘We’re Only Human’

THE WOODLANDS, TX – Grammy-nominated artist Hayes Carll has released the pensive new single ‘We’re Only Human.’ The song is the title track from his forthcoming album, We’re Only Human, which comes out August 8th on Hwy 87 Records/Thirty Tigers.

The reflective track is a reminder that as human beings we are not perfect and, for the most part, that’s alright. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a little break. The lyrics address the strengths, vulnerabilities, fears, emotions, doubts, struggles, confusion and desires that we all live with in some capacity. In the end, so much of it is what unites us.

Carll is an alum of The Woodlands High School and fondly remembers his roots here. He recently was one of the spotlight singers – along with Jack Ingram and Lyle Lovett – at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion for The Woodlands Township’s 50th anniversary celebration.

“We’ve spent most of our time on this planet just tryin’ to survive,” says Carll. “Now that we’ve halfway figured that part out, we’re left with the rest of it – love, loss, meaning, mess. There’s no universal manual for being human. We all stumble. We all fall short. So why not have a little grace for ourselves and others as we try to navigate life?”

Throughout his critically acclaimed, award-winning career, Hayes Carll’s songs allow us to take a good look at ourselves through his character narratives and sage perspectives. On We’re Only Human, he turns the mirror back on himself for the most deeply introspective and reflective work of his career. We’re Only Human is a thoughtful and personal album, but it is a work with Carll’s signature all over it as it overflows with his extraordinary balance of thoughtful lyrics, grit, tenderness and sardonic wit.

We’re Only Human is the long-awaited follow up to 2021’s critically acclaimed You Get It All. The album garnered high praise from the media, including Rolling Stone, The Associated Press, American Songwriter, No Depression, Holler, Glide Magazine and many more.

Additionally, Carll will be playing The Heights Theater in Houston on September 4 as part of his fall tour.
