I'm from California and I never thought I'd be a fan of Bluegrass, but then one day I saw Dust in a Baggie and I've been a fan of Billy ever since. I love how he's finding his own style, voice, etc.
I was born & raised in San Diego, 1969. Growing up with a house full of bluegrass pickers, dobro players, fiddle & more. 1st generation SD of course but I feel you man. It's the purest form of music to me. I feel Louisiana in my blood now, more than ever...
@@thaddeusk4230 as a recovering meth addict, yes it does suck, but me making humor about it and my addiction is what has helped keep me sober for 6 and a half years. I still get urges to try it every single day still and humor helps trick me into thinking it’s a joke, making me not want to do it.
The more I listen to this album, the more I wouldn't be surprised if this album is nominated for a grammy The musicianship and creativity is so good. You guys did an outstanding job
lyrics: It's something cold like what I stuck around to fight through And it gets feeling tougher every day I feel like everybody likes to run their mouth but Can't decide on what it is they're tryin' to say There's nothing wrong with hearing voices Even when they're in your dreams And if you'd listen in tomorrow could be better than it seems I used to think I couldn't even count my blessings But now I know they're few and far between And when I look at my reflection in the mirror I can see some man I've never even seen The wasted life I left behind me Was just a war I couldn't win I'm the devil's guest of honor that's the best it's ever been Little said is soonest mended Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles I'd rather be abandoned or alone Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor And it drags him to the bottom of the sea His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream Or frozen in some broken memory I've never heard him speak about what happened He'll never say what laid him low There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone You said a love that's kept in secret dies in darkness And a soul needs to confess to be set free So I'm lifting back the cover of my heart, dear And hoping that you'll do the same for me It's not too pretty, but it's open It's the only way I know to tell you true I'd walk the world alone before I'd ever walk away from you Little said is soonest mended Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles I'd rather be abandoned or alone Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind If you can link your value to your wallet or a key chain Or a locked wrought iron fence around your yard Living check to check, a skinny tie around your neck On stolen time and borrowed numbers off a card You blink and life is left behind you There's no escape, that's just a fact We're all a dollar short and Every one of us is running out of track Little said is soonest mended Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles I'd rather be abandoned or alone Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind Little said is soonest mended Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles I'd rather be abandoned or alone Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
Billy, I'm loving the fiddle on this album. Perhaps you'll add a fiddle player to the band! Loving the new Album. It was a delight to see you in concert this week. Peace and Love to you all!! You do Tony Rice proud with absolute perfection- Hell all of your covers (Jerry)! Looking forward to you teaming up w/ Larry Keel soon. Lots of great fishing in Utah. Y'all come back soon. Be Safe xoxo
"I'm the devil's guest of honor, and that's the best it's ever been" ~ "Sold my soul for fortune and fame". Billy, you didn't need to... God gave you your gift. Praying for you ✝️
Current and future classic. There’s still great music out there… you just have to poke around. Billy’s giving us youngish folks something to look forward to for the next 50 years.
Secrets are on my own, Secrets are my lost loves Secrets are in my hands Secrets are on my grass. Secret is my old...too much old guitar. And so I'm gonna coming to my end with my deep and sweet secrets
This song hit real real deep. Like wow. Talk about some mirror medicine. Simply stated and simply true. The part about a hidden love will be left only in the darkness. A bitter truth. It’s best to not breadcrumb or to be breadcrumbed. I realize the man I’ve loved for 3 years - an ex- who won’t show any interest in a relationship but one that’s quiet, hidden, behind closed doors, and only wants me in bed. How can someone take advantage of the fact someone tells you they love you and that your serious- yet they play with your heart and intelligence as if it’s a game they are unaware of?.. BILLY SAID IT ALL. Thank you billy!!!
You and your band mates are amazing. You never cease to amaze me.. I like how you put the fiddle in the song.you always seem to come up with great lyrics too. All and all you diffenitly made your place in the music world at such a young age. Like always ,waiting to hear whats next.
He does work with two of the best Bluegrass lyricists in the business. It's like a Robert Johnson deal with the devil though. He's almost too good to believe.
I am not qualified to make such a diagnosis but if one were to assume the character in this song were real, there are a lot of indications pointing towards a Schizoid Personality Disorder.

im from outside of US, never saw Billy Strings, and i love Billy Strings's music and bluegrass music
Same here man. Saw ",dust in a baggie" last summer 2020 on UA-cam and I've been obsessed since.

Staying up half the night to listen to all these …. Twice ♥️

such powerful lyrics...
I'm the devils guest of honor 🔥
@@mikehuff518 its the lines about the guy lost in a day dream that make me think, damn...
If this doesn’t get bluegrass album of the year I’ll be surprised .
billy man you are a bob dylan of 21 century. thank you and continiue your work pls :D
Bob Dylan can't sing.
I can’t stop listening to this song.
Nothing wrong with hearing voices...
The more I listen to this album, the more I wouldn't be surprised if this album is nominated for a grammy
The musicianship and creativity is so good. You guys did an outstanding job
Some of his best lyrics imo
Never thought it would be 30 years on the day from nevermind I would finally have a record touch me as much as kudrt did. Go billy go.
lyrics:
It's something cold like what I stuck around to fight through
And it gets feeling tougher every day
I feel like everybody likes to run their mouth but
Can't decide on what it is they're tryin' to say
There's nothing wrong with hearing voices
Even when they're in your dreams
And if you'd listen in tomorrow could be better than it seems
I used to think I couldn't even count my blessings
But now I know they're few and far between
And when I look at my reflection in the mirror
I can see some man I've never even seen
The wasted life I left behind me
Was just a war I couldn't win
I'm the devil's guest of honor that's the best it's ever been
Little said is soonest mended
Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor
And it drags him to the bottom of the sea
His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream
Or frozen in some broken memory
I've never heard him speak about what happened
He'll never say what laid him low
There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone
You said a love that's kept in secret dies in darkness
And a soul needs to confess to be set free
So I'm lifting back the cover of my heart, dear
And hoping that you'll do the same for me
It's not too pretty, but it's open
It's the only way I know to tell you true
I'd walk the world alone before I'd ever walk away from you
Little said is soonest mended
Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
If you can link your value to your wallet or a key chain
Or a locked wrought iron fence around your yard
Living check to check, a skinny tie around your neck
On stolen time and borrowed numbers off a card
You blink and life is left behind you
There's no escape, that's just a fact
We're all a dollar short and
Every one of us is running out of track
Little said is soonest mended
Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
Little said is soonest mended
Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
Best song i've heard in a long long time
This song is so damn good it hurts ❤
My favorite song on the album. Pure brilliance!

Secrets are on my own, Secrets are my lost loves

Love that “Suzanne” chord progression
That young that gifted dam I I'm envious
I love this song.
Well Well Well … It’s Billy Strings 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
How do you write these lyrics at such a young age? Amazing. The whole album is.
He does work with two of the best Bluegrass lyricists in the business. It's like a Robert Johnson deal with the devil though. He's almost too good to believe.
He knows how to put a tune to everything , one of the best of all time
A lot of hard times and trauma lead you to figuring a lot of things out at a young age.
😻😻😻
Simply sublime!
Love this and Happy Birthday !!!!!
Great song! I'm feelin' this one. Jeff would have agreed!
Hello walls? ...hello, wind....
So good
Love this new record. Cant wait to see you and the band in London!
