Billy Strings - Dealing Despair Lyrics

First time hearing this one. Great job Billy, you really turned on the heat with this one!

Just came from the Dust In A Baggie link and now I'm trying to figure out how to get to Telluride Bluegrass Festival this year.

Just found you from the house party Dust in a Baggie video. You're fuckin great man!

what a fresh and clean sound, that fiddle accompanies his picking well.

always love hearing real country but like to hear it live where is the closest show to Ontario Canada?

Can't wait for this cat to make a stop here in Oklahoma!! I'll pay top dollar for that show!!

You heard of John Moreland?

Propaganda to try and keep us divided....real people see through that phony divide and conquer horse shit

Keep kicking ass Billy, keeping real music alive, God Bless you dude

how does he grow his hair that fast?

Here from dust!

I've said it b4 I COULDN'T LOVE BILLY STRINGS ANYMORE THAN JESUS AND MY DOGS at this stage of my life .I can die peacefully knowing Billy is the messiah of that damn guitar.May the Lord watch over him in all his endeavors.

I love billy but this was the makings of termoil tinfoil unfolding I our presence... what an absolute iconic man... but still stay an artist and dont be political it's stupid.

Mark Lavelle - Billy's response to you: "I think artists are the ones who start revolutions. I’ve seen online, especially with that song or things I’ve posted about our president, people are like, “You should just stick to music.” Are you fucking kidding me? No, this is exactly what I’m supposed to do. We need to do something. This is our platform. I’m on a stage, I have a microphone, I need to be able to raise my fist up and say, “This is for my LGBT community. This for all of you who have been put down your entire lives because of the color of your skin.”

BraapBraaap damn, that makes him even more badass.

Dude EVERYONE has a right to be political wherever they are !! You are the one that has problem with people and treat struggles though the years if you don’t understand. I’m white, I think it’s ok to be white, I also think whites have had it pretty damn good for many years and have done some pretty fucked up things, I think there’s a middle ground where this generation(s) of people can have their options and people can respectfuly discuses them. It’s people like you that wanna shot down options you don’t agree with that are making it hard for people with real SERIOUS issues they deal with every single day of their life’s.

Opinions *

Just found from dust in a baggie. Keep it up man! I'm recommending you to everyone I know.

I dont think the likes to views translate well with this guy. People may be more inclined to be speechless in aw not knowing they are already on to a 3rd video in the line up. Easy to forget to hit that like button when your jaw falls off and you brains explode from the awesomeness.

This is the new face of bluegrass or classic country in general. Such an amazing artist

This is fucking fantastic. Ty for existing and producing. Cheers!

"Fuck politics " love it!!

Mad talent! 💖

“FrOm HeRe BaGgIe In A dUsT”

First time in a while I have been excited about a 'new' artist. I know he has been around for a long time, but Dust in a Baggie got me here. Jimmy Martin and Ralph Stanley would be proud.

As shitty as YouTube’s algorithm is sometimes it puts you on to Gems & holy shit Billy, keep doin’ what you’re doin’

✊🏻

Nice ears

I own a record label called Stickz and would love to have you come aboard.

Hi Billy, check out" Rise up Singing" encyclopedia of folk.

Led here by dust in a baggie. I'm stoked to see a young dude playing this style of music! Thanks Billy Strings

Country is metal as fuck.

Dope ! Filmed music video across the street from my house at LB pier

Great music....I am in Romania now for a few more months..... your music, discovered by?...I don't know how...is a privilege....great skills, lyrics... Thanks...I will tell on my friends about you

Here from dust in a baggie

Followed dust in a bag do not know how it popped up but I'm glad it did ... this dude kicks ass ... good shit Billy keep rising brother

Fuck yeah!

Here from Dust in a Baggie this is good music.

He can write, play and sing a good song. A true artist.💚 It's cleared my brain out again. Think he's saying something. Well done, thoughts and prayers don't solve anything.

Me too!

Here for the comments Bananas great point man, but I hope we are right he doesn’t exist...because man we are fucked if not :/

Good game face with all the craziness going on.

Not to many know the language your speaking. that is incredible word play.

Dude I fucking love this.

Good song though

Intro too long

No it isn't

Ra L it's his opinion bro

How come this great video has only 16k views??

Probably because he doesn't auto tune his voice, do fresh dance moves , and have the record label write his music like the Pop garbage

@FugginRambo or more likely it's because people don't care for bluegrass. I don't understand your hate for pop music, auto tune, or dancing?

Pop music has revolutionized and continues to innovate other genres of music. If you think pop music is garbage, you might as well say that Michael Jackson, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and other musicians who admired pop music and used pop music garbage as well. Now for auto tune, I understand if you dislike it it it is used to the extent of T-Pain but otherwise it is simply a tool to make music enjoyable for people to listen to. Music isn't a jerk off contest to see who's best at having a clear consistent voice. Your hate of dancing though in an industry that has made music to dance for centuries especially baffles me and I don't even understand how to argue against something so stupid.

Don't be so close minded about a genre just because other people have stupid arguements like "pop music uses only 4 chords".

@Alan Chung I respect most of your comment sir, however I did not say I hate dancing or use the word hate anywhere. I like Michael and Miles and have a great respect for artist's who come up with original music. As far as the auto tune goes it's usually used to cover up someone's lack of singing abilities. I have a hard time enjoying some of the cookie cutter studio created music that is popular today. The songs are created by someone else and they find a pretty person to perform it. Not all Pop is garbage and I was trying to have a lil humor in my response to why the video has so little views. I did not mean to insult you or anyone who does enjoy tho.

Freakin love ! Your a rare talent Mr. Strings. It was an honor to meet you last night before you went on stage for your
Grand Ole Opry debut 3-2-19 . There's no words that can describe what meeting you all meant to my my soul. Thanks for addin your autograph and date to my hat . The date will solidify the history of your debut for me. And just because you're not in a metal band anymore don't mean you don't Flippin Rock. Tell Billy banjo he rocks too!!!

You're the best. I can't stop listening to Turmoil & Tinfoil.

So ready for tomo night! 1st Billy show

Fucking amazing

I remember seeing this guy in michigan in like 2012

I got to see Billy and the band at The Holler on the Hill festival in Indianapolis, I really enjoyed these guys and can’t wait to catch them again!
I picked up the Cd to listen to on the way back home. Crazy good Cd, a really must see group of nice guys playing some great tunes.
Thanks for playing in Indy.

Wow luv it!!!!

Sweet! Don’t soak that Preston Billy! 😂😂😂

Can't wait to see you at Festy!!!

Fuck yeah

Awesome man. You rocked at Blue Ox by the way. Hope to see you again next year!

I don't know if it's art, but I fuckin' love it and I fucking love Billy Strings. That's all I got for now.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

First I've seen this video. It touches on a few really good points. Kids for some reason love to watch fighting and drawing blood and using bad language. Mom by herself and the dad not around. Mom raising the child and so scared at what the world will throw at them when they get older. Violence at every corner. Great video Mr. Strings.

I'm pretty sure children watched the gladiators brutally slay each other in the Colosseum. Not saying it's right or anything. But it definitely is not new.

Kids love to watch fighting? Dude, do you realize that we have sports all around the world that involve violence for the sake of entertainment. Don't tell me you truly dislike boxing, mixed martial arts tournaments, UFC, Football, Hockey, Soccer, or maybe even video games with a smidgen of violence?

You're lying to yourself and others by acting as if you are Ghandi himself or the most enlightened parent with the way you're talking but the truth is that you have no idea what you are talking about. Also, the fun of bad language for kids is clearly their upbringing. If people aren't allowed to do something and are suddenly allowed or can watch others do it, of course that becomes entertainment itself. It couldn't be more obvious.

Billy made a good video with a good point but the questions and reasonings you are asking and using are foolish.

Come to Florida!

AMAZING

Nicely done!

Great! 👍

Billy thank you for coming to my small town of Dothan! I hope I can meet you and get a pic of autograph ! Your are one of if not my favorite musicians! Your mine Tony Rice lol!!! See ya in my bday in November

#king 😍❤
