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
