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.

"Long Forgotten Dream" Lyrics:

Would you listen when the wind decides to whisper English fate?

Will you heed the words within the winds that whisper "it’s too late"?

Will you see the reasons falling from the sky?

Or the locusts screaming madly as you turn around and die?

Could you recognize some message to relate

Have you felt the atmospheric friction churning up above

All the traits and the descriptions seem to fit just like a glove

Can you see us scratching backwards through the seams

Crawling circles on our backs with our dumbfounded expertise

Just the thought of this is riddled with disease

Can you see her moving slowly to the rhythm of the song?

Would you like to tag along with us?

I know it won’t be long

Could she take us back to somewhere you desire?

Could she lead us to the doorway?

Would you sit down by the fire and

Would your eyes be sealed with love instead of hate?

Can you hear the empty chambers of your head begin to spin,

Leaving nothing but a cavity for all the living skin?

Would you settle for the empty space within

Or just kick and scream for something else to carry your thoughts in

One foot before the other, lets begin

Have you grown without a doubt or have you always wondered why?

Does this morning rush intrusively to flash your waking eyes

Do you take it in or leave it as it lay?

Would you give a nod to life before returning to the clay?

Could you think about tomorrow like today?

Bridge:

Her eyes are open

She's always hoping

We can turn this old familiar nightmare into a song

The sun keeps burning

The world keeps turning

She’s reaching out and teaching love until the doubt is gone

Do you listen for the echo of your long forgotten dream?

You should listen for the echo of your long forgotten dream.
