  Nothing like some music with feeling. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Psycodelic bluegrass. &nbsp; &nbsp; Billy strings and his band are as true as true gets.

  69 years old. Saw Billy and the band 6 months ago. When they jammed on this tune it was the closest thing I have seen to an early 70s Dead show . Young and old , Long hairs and business men......we were just lost in the music

  This song haunts me; I can&apos;t get enough of it. Sometimes I don&apos;t let myself OD on a song I really love, but this one I am over indulging in for sure, listening to it over and over, even learning to play (the verse and chorus) on guitar. I was lucky to get to see you guys in LA last week. The entire band was top notch, which I expected, but the singing just blew me away. I&apos;m a bluegrass fan and it wasn&apos;t my usual crowd, but so worth it to see you and your band play. Even the long drive in LA traffic didn&apos;t deter me. One of the best shows I&apos;ve seen and I see a ton of live shows.

  I&apos;m a 50 years old from Eastern Europe. I&apos;m what many people who now me can call a soulless brute ...without any feelings. You made me cry listening to you... in my loneliness, to not be seen by anyone.

  Billy Strings is one of those &quot;Once in a lifetime kind of artists&quot; Jimi, Eddie, Stevie...Billy.

  Remember the time we were both eye to eye<br>And we both knew the reasons why<br>It seemed like we faced the world on our own<br>Before we collide can we just take a moment<br>Collecting reflections of this<br>And remember the paths that we chose<br>Spring lied to us this year again<br>I can&apos;t stand to face the fear again<br>But you could always laugh about those things<br>It&apos;s enough to make a man feel sour<br>Burning minutes every day by the hour<br>Just to end up gone like everything else<br>Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm<br>It&apos;s consciously held back in you<br>You&apos;re drowning a sorrow that&apos;s long been at rest<br>The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you<br>So let me remind you of this<br>It&apos;s the reason your troubles exist<br>Spring lied to us again this year<br>And still I can&apos;t stand to face the fear<br>Will you always laugh about those things?<br>It&apos;s enough to make a man stay humble<br>Every day is just a new chance to stumble<br>Just to end up gone like everything else<br>If ever a time comes around in the wheel<br>To replace where we stand side by side<br>We&apos;ll be ready and able to fly<br>Away from the mire<br>And the senseless decisions of somebody&apos;s wasted desire<br>Through the smoke and the wind and the fire<br>Spring lied to us this year again<br>I can&apos;t stand to face the fear again<br>But you could always laugh about those things<br>It&apos;s enough to make a man feel sour<br>Burning minutes every day by the hour<br>Just to end up gone like everything else
