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.

"Home" Lyrics

Alone for a while with myself

I feel so at home in the shade

Alone for the first time in my head

I feel so at ease there instead

Maybe I should leave my home

Maybe I should slip away

A home is a heartache, they tell me

Come in‚ leave your shoes at the door

The phone never rings‚ quite on time here

The paint is a dried pool on the floor

Maybe I could finish this

Turn my back and walk away

Maybe I could slip away

At home is a fire you've left burning

Where the frosty designs outline the pane

And the cold winter nights keep on turning

Stealing memories of sunshine and of rain

Maybe I could break this down

Turn around and face the day

Maybe I could slip away

Alone for a while with myself

I feel so at home in the shade

Alone for the first time in my head

I feel so at ease there instead

Maybe I should leave my home

Maybe I could slip away
