About BILLY STRINGS:
Michigan-born and now Nashville-based, Billy Strings is a GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician, who arrived on the scene as “one of string music’s most dynamic young stars” (Rolling Stone). Strings is in the midst of a triumphant year after winning Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards for his critically acclaimed record, Home. Produced by Glenn Brown, the record also led Strings to top Billboard’s 2020 year-end charts in both Bluegrass categories-Top Bluegrass Artists and Top Bluegrass Albums-and continues to receive widespread critical acclaim. Of the release, The Associated Press proclaims, “it is his creative musical storytelling, paired with solid vocals on Home that should seal the deal, pleasing fans of the genre and creating some new ones…the perfect blend of pure talent and pluck,” while The Wall Street Journal declares, “Billy Strings has clearly emerged as a premier guitar flatpicker of this era.” Since his debut, Strings has been awarded Guitar Player of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the 2019 International Bluegrass Music Awards, selected as one of Rolling Stone’s “New Country Artists to Know” and performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and PBS’ “Bluegrass Underground.” Known for his electric live shows, Strings will continue his extensive headline tour throughout 2021 including upcoming shows in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Austin, Atlanta and Nashville among several others.
Out September 24 via Rounder Records, Renewal was produced by Jonathan Wilson (Conor Oberst, Roger Waters, Father John Misty) and solidifies Strings’ position as a singular artist-one who honors the history of the music that inspires him, while continually pushing it forward. With the record’s sixteen tracks, Strings shares a more personal and honest perspective through his songwriting, while incorporating his wide range of influences with elements of bluegrass, classic rock, metal, psychedelic music and more.
LYRICS
(Apostol / Weisberger / Allen)
Well there’s nothing worse than feeling
like you’re first in line for losing
I thought my life was cruising then it crumbled all away
I had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgotten
Unnoticed like a stranger I’ll surrender for the day
Well this night was an illusion,
it came down like an intrusion
I stay up through the night though
I can’t stand it sinking low
I’m a witness to the fight between
the darkness and the light
You’re a mean old world I’m leaving though
I have no place to go
You’re a mean old world I’m leaving though
I have no place to go
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don’t know, but I guess I’m set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
I was raised when I saw ugliness
to try to make some beauty
Found purpose in the duty when
I couldn’t find the shore
What beauty couldn’t lift just simply floated on adrift
Rolling on directionless and lost forevermore
It goes from bad to worse sometimes
before it can get better
I string some words together and
just try to speak the truth
I have a lot to get, I hope my lot will be forgiven
Pardon me for living for the time I’m here with you
Pardon me for living for the time I’m here with you
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don’t know, but I guess I’m set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
When I lay my body down I’d like to
feel the dirt beneath me
And the howling wind could sheath me and
I’d finally be set free
For a moment you can yawn and
throw my things into a pile
My dawn is finally here and
yours might come in just a while
My dawn is finally here and
yours might come in just a while
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don’t know, but I guess I’m set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
This old world she took me for a ride

A man on his deathbed reliving his life and feeling regret while experiencing peace... HOW THE F can Billy understand this at 28?!?! We are witnessing the next great American songwriter, Dylon, Petty status.... let alone one of the best pickers there ever has been. Can't wait to see you in Detroit man!! Thank you for this!
Your damn right son
Ahmen to that! Isn’t it a privilege to feel less alone in a world that’s seemingly getting harder to understand every day. I feel like he’s said enough to keep me sane.
I understoodd that at 16 kids are smarter now days when it comes to knowing what we are feeling if i start singing the songs will be Appalachian blues that's all i know is the blues can't work or nothing definitely can't play the guitar like billy his song writing is not to far advanced for me by any means than again I'm bout to be 20
This time, you’re right
Understatement. He's better imo
"Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you" That's the line that got me. Good stuff.
I read through the comments and it almost brings tears to my eyes the people this song alone has touched.
Billy makes me want to dance while I cry. Best therapy ever!
Absolutely, brother.
I second that emotion my friend.
Lol for sure , just lost my uncle to the kingdom of God and billy is therapy fo shizzle
@@matthewmorin1984 so sorry for your loss!
Same. Love you.✌️
One of the best songs probably ever written
Absolutely
Amen
I too, am on my way out. Was a fan of Bob Dylan and Billy is the greatest poet I have found since. This song is my request for my funeral!
Listen to For A Dancer by Jackson Browne
@@ellanjeranek173shit, all of Jackson's double acoustic album is amazing! In the top ten for me.
Damn this is a great song. Billy Strings just continues to amaze me. His talent is so complete, as an instrumentalist, a song writer and a singer. He is a true gift to the world.
Everyone who feels inclined to say something about this song-we are all blessed that he’s reached us with such a message.
This album came at a perfect time for me. Thankful for all the beautiful art you make Billy. Keep doing your thing
My absolute favorite song on this album, Love yall!!!!

I have no place to go
You're a mean old world I'm leaving though

I was searching for the lyrics to this song; I’m about to write a sermon on life. On pride. This song is a sermon in itself.
"You're a mean old world I'm leaving though I have no place to go."
How I feel very frequently...
Honestly beautiful. I heard this on a cross country trip and am not familiar with this type of music. I love it.
Go see him live. Always a crowd full of love and pure happiness
You're flying child! Fine singing and playing from all of you.
Billy sounds like Doc, Rolls like Clarence, Accurate like Tony and I would be so honored to pick with him someday!!!!!
Wow… another favorite. Your voice is unmatched. I love this whole album! ♥️ gorgeous
