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
Cold Cold ashes on the ground
Nothing lost and nothings found
Friends and loved ones falling down
Can’t you hear that mournful sound
Nothing left but memories
Of things I still can’t stand to see
There’s an empty spot in me
Where my hometown used to be
This old boat is taking water
It won’t be long till it goes down
We’ve had enough to push us over
Time to turn the wheel around
Neighborhoods Left to decay
People died or walked away
Nowhere left for them to stay
While we just look the other way
This old boat is taking water
It won’t be long till it goes down
We’ve had enough to push us over
Time to turn the wheel around
Waves keep pounding through the night
Lost without a ray of light
Going down without a fight
Is there still time to make it right?
This old boat is taking water
It won’t be long till it goes down
We’ve had enough to push us over
Time to turn the wheel around
