    About HOME:
    Billy Strings has been hailed as the future of bluegrass, transcending tradition and genre with his high velocity, flat-picking guitar technique and intense, confessional songwriting. HOME, Strings’ remarkable second studio album, is undoubtedly the Michigan-born, Nashville-based artist’s bravest excursion thus far, completely rewiring bluegrass with elements of punk, country, folk rock, and genuine psychedelic exploration to fashion something altogether his own. Strings has infused the aesthetic with his own experiences and inspirations, adopting traditional sonic and lyrical idioms to confront contemporary social truths. With guest appearances from the likes of Jerry Douglas and Molly Tuttle and produced by Glenn Brown (Greensky Bluegrass, Marcus Miller), HOME marks a landmark on Billy Strings’ ongoing creative journey, its fearless songs and freewheeling approach recasting string-based American music in his own inimitable image.

    LYRICS
    Remember the time we were both eye to eye
    And we both knew the reasons why
    It seemed like we faced the world on our own
    Before we collide can we just take a moment
    Collecting reflections of this
    And remember the paths that we chose
    Spring lied to us this year again
    I can't stand to face the fear again
    But you could always laugh about those things
    It's enough to make a man feel sour
    Burning minutes every day by the hour
    Just to end up gone like everything else
    Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm
    It's consciously held back in you
    You're drowning a sorrow that's long been at rest
    The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you
    So let me remind you of this
    It's the reason your troubles exist
    Spring lied to us again this year
    And still I can't stand to face the fear
    Will you always laugh about those things?
    It's enough to make a man stay humble
    Every day is just a new chance to stumble
    Just to end up gone like everything else
    If ever a time comes around in the wheel
    To replace where we stand side by side
    We'll be ready and able to fly
    Away from the mire
    And the senseless decisions of somebody's wasted desire
    Through the smoke and the wind and the fire
    Spring lied to us this year again
    I can't stand to face the fear again
    But you could always laugh about those things
    It's enough to make a man feel sour
    Burning minutes every day by the hour
    Just to end up gone like everything else

      Mike, I'm proud of you for beating back your demons but don't let it define you. It's just part of spiritual growth. Put the label of addict behind you and focus on the positive aspects of your life. Your spiritual training wheels are off and the self awareness you've gained is a blessing. Embrace your life, love your friends and family and most of all....yourself.

    This song haunts me; I can't get enough of it. Sometimes I don't let myself OD on a song I really love, but this one I am over indulging in for sure, listening to it over and over, even learning to play (the verse and chorus) on guitar. I was lucky to get to see you guys in LA last week. The entire band was top notch, which I expected, but the singing just blew me away. I'm a bluegrass fan and it wasn't my usual crowd, but so worth it to see you and your band play. Even the long drive in LA traffic didn't deter me. One of the best shows I've seen and I see a ton of live shows.

    Billy, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this.
    I recently had a medical emergency. I collapsed and stopped breathing. I was revived and admitted to the ICU with acute respiratory failure, sepsis, aspiration pneumonia, Flu and Pneumonia, but oh boy the reason I'm here now goes so much deeper. I was hiding. And now I'm exposed, vulnerable. I'm trying so hard to overcome the hell of my past. I can't stop crying, wondering what I'm still doing here. I almost wanted that release. Maybe I'm rambling, I just need to get this out somehow. If I am going to be around, I want a more fulfilling existence. I know I created my troubles, that's why they exist, and the reality is, I either overcome them, or I don't. I have a long road ahead of me. I've been in the hospital for 23 days, crawling in my skin for most of it. Probably another 21 more or so.
    I'm going to see you live one day though and it's going to be amazing.
    For anyone who listened, thank you, and I truly hope you have the happiness, or will, that we're all searching for.

    The video of that kid on the couch playing the song he wrote for a competition was mind blowing. It’s not often you’re treated to talent in its purest form.
    This is the music you want to share with everyone you know so they don’t miss a second of the greatness.

    Wow... Not only was the song out of this world Whoever did the animation for the video. You should hire that guy to do a screen behind your show. The three-dimensional artwork he does is off the charts. Eventually, you should think about it at never hurt Pink Floyd made them. One of the biggest bands in the world made the Grateful Dead one of the biggest bands in the world. That animation was off the charts. It fit the song Perfectly. Beautiful A masterpiece

    One more thing.... To cover panic in Athens and bring the house down is a feat in itself. Especially without a drummer hint. All time low in psychedelic bluegrass was epic.

    I was there to watch this live on Friday the 10th of December....I was sitting in the handicap section with my dad who is in a wheelchair. Billy Strings, i have your Set 2 SET LIST! My hands were shaking as a carried it out of the venue. You are one of a kind! If i weren't a 13 year old with no income i would come to all your concerts! I've never cheered so much in my life.... I was literally 10 freaking feet away from you when you stepped down off the stage towards the Handicap section guitaring to this exact song!! There are no words to explain what i felt in that moment.....Maybe when I've got money of my own i'll pay to be in the VIP crew so I can meet you....Crazy to imagine i can buy my way into meeting you....I'd be speechless if I met you.....🤩🥴🤗...You are Amazing, Awesome, Spectacular, Talented as crap, and SOOOO much more! Keep it UP! and make sure to make your way around back to Georgia when I've got a job! 😁😶‍🌫😶‍🌫😁😁🤩🤩🥴😵‍💫🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏🤟🤘🤟🤘✌✌.......Your concert made me speechless.....i still am...Not only can you PICK THE HECK out of a guitar....Your voice is AWESOME TOO!

    My ex said I listened to too much Bluegrass...
    Its my home though.
    I'm a singer and a song writer and everything I hear is how I feel. It brings me back to being a kid and dancing at festivals and feeling like I was in a simpler time. There's something so fucking ethereal about that kind of thing.
    Mali and Carrie then forced Billy Strings hour on me, and then Grateful Dead hour and so on. It became a part of me.
    Your CZcams videos made me keep my ground in a world wide pandemic.

I spoke with them at length about your story and what you're about. I'm a drummer and I was grooving so hard trying to keep up I spilled beer on the guy below lol. Maybe I was having too much fun guy lol. Love your music brother. Video for seven years is exciting 😁. Music videos are making a comeback and I could go on and on about it but I won't.
