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 / Failing / Masat / Walker)
It’s a careless wind that carries me
across the great divide
From the wretched underworld to
the place where fear resides
Behind the line you hold,
you can only hold so long
When you see my forked tongue
and hear my twisted song
My sign is the fire line, uncontrolled
My bitter ruthlessness is a beacon to behold
Like cancer growing, someday to die
Where the water’s flowing I’m
gonna drain the river dry
‘Cause it’s a poison dream
Keeps me running through the night
I’ll take it all and then some more
By the dawning of the sickly morning light
Burn through the midnight oil
and the bridges I can’t cross
Somehow I’ll find myself in
everything you’ve lost
We’ve seen it all before but
it comes as no surprise
Just like reflections of the fire in your eyes
It’s a poison dream
Keeps me running through the night
I’ll take it all and then some more
By the dawning of the sickly morning light
And when the work is done and the devil’s called his time
You’ll feel a sterile breeze that blows through ashen pine
And you may ask yourself where did the endgame lie
The question I might ask if I could stop to wonder why
It’s a poison dream
Keeps me running through the night
I’ll take it all and then some more
By the dawning of the sickly morning light
It’s a poison dream
Keeps me running through the night
I’ll take it all and then some more
By the dawning of the sickly morning light
