    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)
    It’s something cold like what I stuck around to fight through
    And it gets feeling tougher every day
    I feel like everybody likes to run their mouth but
    can’t decide on what it is they’re tryin’ to say
    There’s nothing wrong with hearing voices
    Even when they’re in your dreams
    And if you’d listen in tomorrow could be better than it seems
    I used to think I couldn’t even count my blessings
    But now I know they’re few and far between
    And when I look at my reflection in the mirror
    I can see some man I’ve never even seen
    The wasted life I left behind me
    Was just a war I couldn’t win
    I’m the devil’s guest of honor that’s the best it’s ever been
    Little said is soonest mended
    Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles
    I’d rather be abandoned or alone
    Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
    I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor
    and it drags him to the bottom of the sea
    His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream
    Or frozen in some broken memory
    I’ve never heard him speak about what happened
    He’ll never say what laid him low
    There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone
    You said a love that’s kept in secret dies in darkness
    And a soul needs to confess to be set free
    So I’m lifting back the cover of my heart, dear
    And hoping that you’ll do the same for me
    It’s not too pretty, but it’s open
    It’s the only way I know to tell you true
    I’d walk the world alone before I’d ever walk away from you
    Little said is soonest mended
    Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles
    I’d rather be abandoned or alone
    Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
    If you can link your value to your wallet or a key chain
    Or a locked wrought iron fence around your yard
    Living check to check, a skinny tie around your neck
    On stolen time and borrowed numbers off a card
    You blink and life is left behind you
    There’s no escape, that’s just a fact
    We’re all a dollar short and
    every one of us is running out of track
    Little said is soonest mended
    Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles
    I’d rather be abandoned or alone
    Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
    Little said is soonest mended
    Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles
    I’d rather be abandoned or alone
    Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind

    This song hit real real deep. Like wow. Talk about some mirror medicine. Simply stated and simply true. The part about a hidden love will be left only in the darkness. A bitter truth. It’s best to not breadcrumb or to be breadcrumbed. I realize the man I’ve loved for 3 years - an ex- who won’t show any interest in a relationship but one that’s quiet, hidden, behind closed doors, and only wants me in bed. How can someone take advantage of the fact someone tells you they love you and that your serious- yet they play with your heart and intelligence as if it’s a game they are unaware of?.. BILLY SAID IT ALL. Thank you billy!!!
