Billy Strings - Away From The Mire 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
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
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
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 that fear again
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
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 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 feel sour
Burning minutes every day by the hour
Just to end up gone like everything else

Billy Strings Away From The Mire Comments
That jam takes me on a ride, man. That’s some good good stuff
Damn Billy never misses haha
Soooooo gooood! I love the slower tempo, then the energy builds & the tempo picks up, then we get that amazing wall of synchronicity while Billy does his thing, then vocals at the end, too! Every time I check back in he's doing something different. New things are added, more interesting than the last, ridiculously good musicianship. I am DYING to see them! They rarely get to the west coast, though. We just aren't country-ish enough I guess. :(
Billy strings performed for adult swim..... im dumbfounded
INCREDIBLE
Holy fuck! This is great.
B.M.F.S.!!!!!
Waye better than billy eyelash.
Good God damn, yes!
Damn this program has had Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and Billy Strings?!?! They're catering to my tastes for sure.
Timeless beauty, thank you. A most personal truth. We're all richer for having known and heard you.
WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE? Billy come to cincinnati bro <3
*GRAMMY*
The Fish Center? I wanna play in there, that looked kinda fun but shit man is it me or is that song depressing af? Oh ya thats the point dah wa.mando& banjo can tear, they all tear it up like fing bats outta hell? No? Or sea? I love the fish tank.
God I love that Billy Strings did an Adult Swim thing!!
Billy and the boys are about to bloooooow up. Saw them 2 years ago in Montana with like 15 friends on a Ski Trip... never considered ourselves bluegrass fans before but we've been consumed by Billy ever since!
...Man A-live this cat has been all over my radar, and now you cats @adultswim are ridin' that Billy Strings bandwagon...things in this world are lookin' up...and sturgill simpson is a similar and amazing cat...i would add brother Marcus King is a cat on the rise just a louder style...real music changes, stuff...
King and Strings!
yeah they toured together if you didn't know, like DeadSpread said above. Look up king and strings
I rarely comment but I can't get over how good this song is
Best band in America
100% agree, billy strings is the future of bluegrass
Saw Billy Strings and Co up the road just this summer... Round the end of June, close to the 4th. Great time of year for everybody, and it was a good show. Just a wee little venue was all it was... The best kind.
One of the single best songs written in the last 10 years!
Maybe even 20
This "kid" just won Instrumentalist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year at the IBMA's. He and his entire band are total virtuoso's. They are at the forefront of the Alt/Progressive Bluegrass scene helping to carry the torch of some of the more recent greats to do the same over the past decade+. Do yourself a favor and go check them out if they come anywhere near you. Do the same for Yonder Mountain String Band, Greensky Bluegrass, Trampled by Turtles, The Infamous Stringdusters, Punch Brothers, The Steeldrivers (formerly led by Chris Stapleton), etc, to name a handful of the bigger acts. Many, many good up and comers as well. Mindblowing live shows....all of em.
@DeadSpread Not a chance lmao!
@No Name Tony Rice has stated that he wishes he could've known, let alone play, what Billy has at this age...or any for that matter!
That's like God giving you a personal pat on the back.
@DeadSpread Billy is great, but Thile is a fucking god musician and composer. Respect to them both.
@No Name in the highest!
What you see here is a legend in the making. We welcome a new prince of jamgrass that will join the ranks Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Tony Rice, etc.
Greensky>>>>>
R u related to tony?
William Apostol (Billy Strings) is Tony Rice's favorite guitar player
Great fucking tune!
Talented motherfuckers
Adult swim pulling out the gems
The Fish Center booker has got some good taste. These dudes are talented.
Dude sings like Vedder
Strava even better
Search Billy strings "in hiding"
Very cool song!
I’m so happy to see all the love for Billy! Such an incredible musician.
Anthony Dykes I haven’t met many people that dislike this dude. Even if this isn’t someone’s cup of tea it’s impossible to argue that all these dudes aren’t extremely talented.
So this is what happens when Dethklok plays acoustic?
Appalachian Metal!
Billy strings and sturgill Simpson are the best things to happen to country music in recent years!
@harry61991 imo yes
@Jeff Skaggs Absolutely amazing comment. Thanks!

Bluegrass is American music that shares roots with American "country" music. It's country music like rock and roll is the blues.
Billy and Sturgill are miles better than any of the others. Childers and Colter are trying way too hard
love billy, put's on a hell of a live show, fuck everyone that doesn't like this #bmfs
Really like the distorted acoustic
dude's the shit, check him out for real
Checked him out, and its the shit!
2020s for music will be good I think
One of the best performances of the year
Wow. This kicks ass. Banjo dude fucking shreds too.
This is the last thing I expected to see on here but I absolutely approve.
Hidden jewel
I think that’s the point
That was really amazing. 10/10
Wow. Outstanding
Yeeehawwwww. I do not like this at all. Fail Adult Swim.
Yeeehaww there lil cowgirl, you wouldn't know the difference between country and bluegrass if you got hit by a pickup truck blasting Kenny Chesney in the back 40. Why don't you stick to what you know and let people who know what good music is curate it for those who know the difference between shit and shinola. Cuz darlin, you ain't it.
Sincerely, someone who also hates country music.
Arguing with us Billy fans about whether or not Billy is talented is a losing battle.. obviously you don't know how serious we are about our Billy, you can have your opinion but trying to argue with us is pointless
There is something incongruent here? Maybe the bass player riding it a lil hard is a bit awkward? Idk that is what hit me outta the gate.
For what it's worth, I think you make a very pretty troll Miss S! I agree that musical taste is definitely in the ear of the beholder; I'm just very glad I didn't end up with yours... Anybody telling someone else that they are wrong because of ignorance, is ignorance in itself. It's impossible to personally "like" all music, though it is very possible to appreciate all music, or art for that matter. There's too much of it out there to experience, to blatantly brush it aside because of naivety, hun! I also noticed your page was void of any content... I encourage you to fill your life with some. Plato said "Music is a moral law: it gives a soul to the universe, Wings to the Mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and Life to everything!" Don't sell yourself short, my dear! There's still time for you to see/feel this truth!
"If Mercy's a business, I wish it for you! More than just ashes, when your dreams come true!" -Grateful Dead.
Namaste
...aww...no one cares...
Eddie Vedder 2.0
They cover "in hiding" pretty well.
She's no Billy Eyelash but she will have to do, God Damn it!
They should collab
