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

I'm from California and I never thought I'd be a fan of Bluegrass, but then one day I saw Dust in a Baggie and I've been a fan of Billy ever since. I love how he's finding his own style, voice, etc.
im from outside of US, never saw Billy Strings, and i love Billy Strings's music and bluegrass music
Same here man. Saw ",dust in a baggie" last summer 2020 on CZcams and I've been obsessed since.
I was born & raised in San Diego, 1969. Growing up with a house full of bluegrass pickers, dobro players, fiddle & more. 1st generation SD of course but I feel you man. It's the purest form of music to me. I feel Louisiana in my blood now, more than ever...
Shout out to the green shirted lost Hobbit
@@Kholaslittlespot1 facts
“I’m the devil’s guest of honor and that’s the best it’s ever been” holy shit this album is fantastic

And that doesn’t bother you lol that he works for the devil
@@djdiako55 you sound goofy af
@@djdiako55 you're a fool bud
The more I listen to this album, the more I wouldn't be surprised if this album is nominated for a grammy
The musicianship and creativity is so good. You guys did an outstanding job
such powerful lyrics...
I'm the devils guest of honor 🔥
@@mikehuff518 its the lines about the guy lost in a day dream that make me think, damn...
Your music saved my life. Thanks Billy
You’re not the only one man🙌
Go listen to the song 10 years too late by Joe Clark
Agreed
Saved my life too
Same ✌️🇺🇲
Nothing wrong with hearing voices...
billy man you are a bob dylan of 21 century. thank you and continiue your work pls :D
Bob Dylan can't sing.
I can’t stop listening to this song.
Never thought it would be 30 years on the day from nevermind I would finally have a record touch me as much as kudrt did. Go billy go.
If this doesn’t get bluegrass album of the year I’ll be surprised .
Staying up half the night to listen to all these …. Twice ♥️
I did the same thing,then found my self back here when I woke up lol
we all know the real reason... there's no dust left in that baggie
@@Kholaslittlespot1 Meth sucks and you do for glorifying it. Now, Don't be a Dick
@@thaddeusk4230 as a recovering meth addict, yes it does suck, but me making humor about it and my addiction is what has helped keep me sober for 6 and a half years. I still get urges to try it every single day still and humor helps trick me into thinking it’s a joke, making me not want to do it.
Stay strong. This stranger is in your corner.
"I'm the devil's guest of honor, and that's the best it's ever been" ~ "Sold my soul for fortune and fame". Billy, you didn't need to... God gave you your gift. Praying for you ✝️
Misinterpretation of the lyrics. Typical of religious folk.
Some of his best lyrics imo

Best song i've heard in a long long time
Fell in love with this song immediately at Legend Valley 🌻
I was there this song blew me away
My favorite song on the album. Pure brilliance!
In tears my friend 😢
Billy, I'm loving the fiddle on this album. Perhaps you'll add a fiddle player to the band! Loving the new Album. It was a delight to see you in concert this week. Peace and Love to you all!! You do Tony Rice proud with absolute perfection- Hell all of your covers (Jerry)! Looking forward to you teaming up w/ Larry Keel soon. Lots of great fishing in Utah. Y'all come back soon. Be Safe xoxo
well, i'm sure you saw the proposal to Alex the other night :) you got your wish!!
@@ThePinnacleSFA I hope they live happily ever after ♥️
@@anneheart4679 Finally got my first Billy show with Alex, czcams.com/video/mjPoGXo8T_I/video.html
Current and future classic. There’s still great music out there… you just have to poke around. Billy’s giving us youngish folks something to look forward to for the next 50 years.
You are amazing. You ALL are amazing
"Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind"
Gift of the gods, good picking and singing.
Quickly becoming my favorite song on the new album.
Billy is #1
Some pretty profound lyrics
Definitely
Yeeeeeeeeeee yeeeeeeeeeee
Im in heaven today.
Great work guys.
Thank you.
This song is so damn good it hurts ❤
Billy Fkn Strings ladies & gents
Fucking brilliant! Never stop Billy!
Good stuff! Save the bears.
Love it when you all sing.
Honestly my favorite tune from the album. So happy y’all have put this in the live rotation more recently.
Without a wing a word could fly a thousand miles. Hot damn dude
Ps fire mandolin solo on this one, Jarrod! “Tin mans shooting cluster bombs!”
AWESOME song!!
Really cool changes, and great lyrics.
It's my new fav!
I really am enjoying this new album. I like the album cover as well. It speaks for itself
This is the best song on the album
Song that never spoke so many words and truths...
😻😻😻
Yeehaww!!! Love you Billy
This song is really deep. Enough said.
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!!!
Masterpiece 💯🇺🇲
this song is so dope.
🎉
Thank you billy,my soul needed this 💙
wow this is great
good shit brother!
I love story tellers and every song he writes is a beautiful story you can close your eyes and picture
Love it! Billy has the devil in his fingers.

Brilliant lyrics
You and your band mates are amazing. You never cease to amaze me.. I like how you put the fiddle in the song.you always seem to come up with great lyrics too. All and all you diffenitly made your place in the music world at such a young age. Like always ,waiting to hear whats next.
Secrets are on my own, Secrets are my lost loves
Secrets are in my hands
Secrets are on my grass.
Secret is my old...too much old guitar.
And so I'm gonna coming to my end with my deep and sweet secrets
So good!! Please play this at either of the Cleveland OH shows see ya at both!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Every song he sings hits home 🏡
Love that “Suzanne” chord progression
That young that gifted dam I I'm envious
Simply sublime!
Beautifully written my friend!(~);}
I love this song.
Outstanding
My new favorite.
Love this new record. Cant wait to see you and the band in London!
So good
Come on back to Texas Billy!! Austin and Dallas shows were pure 👌
We're all a dollar short and everyone of us is running out of track.
💜💜💜💜💜
Great song! I'm feelin' this one. Jeff would have agreed!
The greatest young artist to come out in country music since Hank Williams Jr.
How do you write these lyrics at such a young age? Amazing. The whole album is.
He does work with two of the best Bluegrass lyricists in the business. It's like a Robert Johnson deal with the devil though. He's almost too good to believe.
He knows how to put a tune to everything , one of the best of all time
A lot of hard times and trauma lead you to figuring a lot of things out at a young age.
Love this and Happy Birthday !!!!!
☮️💜

We're all a dollar short, and every one of us is running out of track 👣!

Hip hop don't stop your better than tupac
I am not qualified to make such a diagnosis but if one were to assume the character in this song were real, there are a lot of indications pointing towards a Schizoid Personality Disorder.
