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
