This needs to be on the radio, I'm sick of hearing about pick up trucks, beer and getting laid. This is real, this is substance. I hope you win awards for this song.
Military here, 17 years now. Lost a lot of years, relationships... but I got a lot of ribbons man. A whole lot of bad memories that I can't shake. Great song Billy, echoes my thoughts in a lot of ways.
Sorry you had to go through that brother. Support the troops, fuck the military. Hope you're in a better place. Don't let yourself become a statistic, there's a reason you're still here on this earth.
Thank you for your service brother and taking the time for the shout out. I don’t say much but fortunate enough to call him my good buddy! He’s a really nice person as well!
Billy and the Boys have ignited a bonfire under the asses of today's musicians and artists. The entire music scene has been forced to step up their game, to dig down deep to find that thing, that thing that moves us all. Thanks for the fire, guys! Keep it burning.
I disagree I am sure luc lemay of gorguts or the boy of revocation or jack Wilkins are afraid I like billy on his own but in a band setting he doesn’t do it for me
Billy Failing never fails. His banjo playing is revolutionary. His talent is massively impressive. I do think his entire band is amazing and top it of with Mr Strings and we have perfection on stage. The new circus has come to town!!
Billy is changing music forever. His music heals our souls and brings happiness like no other band has. He will be mentioned with legends like Cash, Nelson, and Jennings one day!
I give up, been listening to this kid for a long time, thinking I’ll find a song I don’t like so much. Guess it’s NEVER going to happen. NEVER been so happy to be wrong.
It has been a damn long time since I've listened to a musician and been this astonished by their talent. Billy is truly on another level and I hope to see more people come to appreciate his music.
Wargasm is a band from the 80's from Brockton Massachusetts. Recognize. They would be proud of these lyrics... They wrote " knee deep in blood".. Brockton MASSACHUSETTS
Good country music out there... Tyler Childers, Whiskey Meyers, Cody Jinks, Blackberry Smoke, Colter Wall, Turnpike Troubadours, Muscatine Bloodline, Chris Knight, Ryan Bingham & many more
Here after the Russian attack on Ukraine, from an Iraq veteran to all the world: I'm sorry for what we do to each other, I love you all and wish so much for peace.
Thanks for having the balls to bring some substance to your music, not bashing anyone or hating, but we need to be speaking from our hearts, define the world we want.
It's music folks!! Stop arguing over who owns him ....bluegrass etc on and on....it's all music baby. If ya love it ya love it!🤷♂️🎵🎸🍻❤🤘 No need to try and box this kid into a category. Let's just sit back and see where he takes us. Hasn't let us down yet🤷♂️
Everything these guys do seems so relevant to the times. That's what makes them so relatable to me. I like to close my eyes and pick one musician/instrument and focus just on that. The talent in these five guys and the hard working they do each and every day, non-stop, is impeccable. Never let yourself believe that they have an easy job. I LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS! Got to see you twice last year...Red Rocks and Lake Tahoe (what that a freakin' HOT venue.
WoW, ! Amazing. Never seen such a dynamic truth laid out so beautifully simple and not lacking the pain and depth of the subject, still reeeeeeeeeeing, so awesome a depiction and inspiration to pick up my guitar and play again what God has laid n my heart and Spirit… Billy Strings, stay pure true and RUN AS FAST ASYOU CAN FROM illuminate. Just sayin’ Peace
@@D45VR watch it fall, in my humble opinion, was the pinnacle of songwriting and musicianship thus far in this young century. Then they put us on 16 new songs merely a year or so later that rival the mindfulness of anything we’ve heard in our lives. “Forever mindful of the gift” is this generations’ equivalent of the Dead espousing the recurring theme of “I just don’t know”. It’s a vibrational minefield of questioning societal norms and hopefully turning more and more people onto kindness for the sake of kindness for no other reason than to be kind. It feels like Sisyphus pushing that Boulder these days but man I really hold hope against hope that hilarity will prevail. Otherwise, what’s the reason for this, again.
I work at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina and a person named Billy Strings had a concert. No idea who this guy was but I got to see some of the show and wow, this guy and his crew can PLAY. I’m not even into this kind of music but it was awesome. I think I got high from all the weed smoke lol.
God bless you for your thoughts 🙏 so much pain and violence.... some people don't have a conscience at all anymore..as the Bible says men's hearts will wax cold... wake up brother... time growing short...
As thousands of chikdren are being bombed...I found this song. I was a USAF officer during the Gulf War and watched the Afghanistan and Iraq unfold as my son was in the Marines against my wishes His father was a LRRP/Ranger in Vietnam and his father was in WWII. My Grandfather was in WWI....it never ends. And every time we are lied to about tbe real reason. General Butler said it, "War is a racket. "
Saw this in st Augustine maybe it was Columbia lol they all blur into one he is so talented but remember this song specifically and saying what is that song to my friends lol. They all knew some how and I said damn that is amazing!!
Bro that show was next level deep and heavy and at the same time beautiful and full of wonder. No ceilings, no walls, fuck not even a floor. We're dancing in space at this point t
As always mind blown! Cannot wait for this record! Way to go Billy and RmR! This is amazing! 💜🌈💜🌈 The crossover we needed and didn't expect! Screw the naysayers!
I did not expect RMR would be this good !! I was like "duh a rapper in a bluegrass song" but when he went on it was just perfect !! I love to be wrong like that 😂
@@124Frenk TBH RMR LOVES country music. It's why his very firsts song he released was set to the tune of a Rascal Flatt's song. He wanted to subvert expectations right off the bat, show you something that you may write off as a joke without realizing how much the artist actually felt it. He got his recording contract on that alone. When he showed up to sign his contract the security tried to make him take off his mask, his rep came down and tallked them down, because nobody has seen him without that mask in pubilc. When they got into the elevator after the interaction, he started singing a negro spiritual without prompting. He's a hella interesting dude and his talent is insane. One of the most talented up and comers.
Nothing wrong with people not liking it. Billy literally said let us know what you guys think, negative or positive. He sort of expressed that it was an experimental thing. Part of the reason I didn't care for it is because RMR's lyrics aren't really relevant to the song. It really seems like he wasn't involved at all, like they just have him send them some random bars and just plugged it into the song. The rest of the song is great.
As a musician, I feel he’s been pushing me upwards and reigniting my love for acoustic sounds. You have to step up quite a bit to pull his licks off. Long live Billy Strings.
"So step into the grinder with your brother tomorrow And kiss your mother goodbye She’ll wipe her tears with your ribbons and then they’ll replace you in the blink of an eye " The petrochemical war machine keeps churning.

He is singlehandedly revolutionizing Bluegrass right before our very eyes.
Don't count out his 3 Amigos!! Hottest, tightest band playing right now!!!
Fucking facts
Pretty sure hes using two hands...😋
But yeah!
Not really it’s more new grass and that sucks imo
Love Billy dont need monty pythons thrown in. Dude stands on his own. Takes away

I've never been to war but I have seen unspeakable things. It does get better but never goes away. Hope you're doing good bud.
Billy and the Boys have ignited a bonfire under the asses of today's musicians and artists. The entire music scene has been forced to step up their game, to dig down deep to find that thing, that thing that moves us all. Thanks for the fire, guys! Keep it burning.
Yes but we are smarter and musicians like Billy have raised the fodder bar. He's such a cad, im so happy for him!
Notice all the artists who are on top right now are calling out the human race on their bullshit! I love it!
These guys worked hard through pandemic check them out in MXLR app always free when they are live and not video live-streaming

I so feel you! Everytime I hear this kid, brings me to tears. Pure raw talent! ❤
Billy is changing music forever. His music heals our souls and brings happiness like no other band has. He will be mentioned with legends like Cash, Nelson, and Jennings one day!
Hell, he’s already made a name for himself just in a different genre
I give up, been listening to this kid for a long time, thinking I’ll find a song I don’t like so much. Guess it’s NEVER going to happen. NEVER been so happy to be wrong.
Legend has it his buddy is still handing out side quests in his basement
Still deciding whether or not he’s gonna smoke a cig
His LAST cigarette.
A smoke he bummed.
Without a lighter still… still to this day…
Just saw a podcast about this. They were tripping on shrooms in a basement at a party
It has been a damn long time since I've listened to a musician and been this astonished by their talent. Billy is truly on another level and I hope to see more people come to appreciate his music.
I couldn't agree more. Being almost seventy years old I've seen some groundbreaking artists come along and Billy is there among the best ☮️
Bro I’m gonna just come out and say it, you’re one of the greatest musicians of our time. Thanks for all the jams, you’re a real one.
Fantastic! All wars are banker’s wars for profit! A nation divided is already half conquered! We need to come together and love each other!
word. the left is the right...... the right is the left. Two wings of the same bird. Too bad there is so much money to made off of war.

Such a powerful song. The world's leaders need to listen, but they won't. Keep preaching, Billy. We are listening.
Feeling this especially now 🥺
The new album is gonna be phenomenal
All the latest tunes I've heard so far have very catchy hooks and tremendous tightness
Cheers fellas! 🍻
we called it heavy back in the day
@@Fossilsunleashed Heavy it is.✌️
Hot take here....i think this is the best song Billy has ever written. Amazing lyrics

I would be happy if this kid was runnin this country.
I don't think he wants to have any part in that sorta thing. His mission in life is bringing us beautiful soul music!

Here after the Russian attack on Ukraine, from an Iraq veteran to all the world: I'm sorry for what we do to each other, I love you all and wish so much for peace.
I also came back to listen to this song because if the Russian attack. It's sad that there's always some kind of war/conflict going on in the world.
PEACE ON YOU BROTHER !
I’m with you brother. Afghan veteran here and this music speaks so much to guys like us who served.
Thank you for your service....means more to me than you know. You don't owe anyone an apology. I am sorry to you.
events are cuntrolled by evil entities in hidden places
much is is being brought to the light lately. we still have choices toake
I officially experienced my first eargasm.
Here at 1.2k views. I’ll be back later when it hits a million
I bet you'll be back before the 1mil

My friends are asking me "why are you listening to bluegrass" then I say "it's Billy Strings"
But The SteelDrivers exist tho
You need new friends man.
Same... its a valid question in their defense, I have been into nothing but rock for 30 years lol. I can't help it, billy string is just amazing.
You don't need that kind of negativity in your life
Similar with me, country and Chris Stapleton.
If you play an instrument, you have to love Billy Strings. This young man is a visionary 🔥
Thanks for having the balls to bring some substance to your music, not bashing anyone or hating, but we need to be speaking from our hearts, define the world we want.
Beautiful song and when Billy does it live, it sets the whole place ablaze
This song gets my emotions for some reason. Deep poetic conscience. Great job Billy.
It's music folks!! Stop arguing over who owns him ....bluegrass etc on and on....it's all music baby. If ya love it ya love it!🤷♂️🎵🎸🍻❤🤘 No need to try and box this kid into a category. Let's just sit back and see where he takes us. Hasn't let us down yet🤷♂️

When a friend showed me RMR, I had a feeling he'd get bigger and I'd hear about him again, but I didn't imagine this.
heard him play this live last night and it did not disappoint.
War is warped! These excuses are wearing thin. Great song.
Great song with substance! While there are profits in war there is little incentive for peace. Keep writing songs like this.

Just clicked on the ad for this to see what it’s about, I’ve listened to Billy Strings before. Was not expecting this, outstanding.
Glad he blew up. Dust in a baggie was gold
flickin ashes in a powder can like your standin on a pile of gold
This tune is one of my new favorites. I've been listening to the live versions on replay. I love the heartfelt messages.
Same.

Music that actually makes you feel something
This is right up their with "masters of war" with me.

Now I’m going to buy the album.
This song deserves to be at 100 million and quickly climbing. Share with those you love which should be everyone if you are playing the game right.
Two worlds collide for a hell of a song!
Rmr & billy strings is exactly whT I asked for and needed
I need multiple like buttons. Message, music, vocals, collaboration, visuals,… I feel they each deserve their own appreciation.
This song live is wicked!
I cannot get enough of this song. I keep listening to that Alabama show. Cannot wait for this to drop!

Pick em Strings Billy!
I don't think this is bluegrass anymore it's something new and it's epic thank you Billy thank you
The goosebumps won't stop. The message. The metal influence. This is pure gold. I didn't know I needed this song so badly
The beginning reminds me of zappa, what's new in Baltimore! Keep rockin Billy Strings.
