Billy Strings "Away From The Mire" | FishCenter | adult swim 

One of the single best songs written in the last 10 years!

What a masterpiece. The more you listen the more layers in the song you notice. Billy strings and his bandmates are supremely talented.

The Fish Center booker has got some good taste. These dudes are talented.

This is the last thing I expected to see on here but I absolutely approve.

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.

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.

Told my wife to listen to this and follow along with the lyrics. Then I jumped in the shower. 8 minutes later, I emerged, to find her in a complete mess, tears flowing. Not my intended reaction, but she was moved.

This is a deeply moving and truly outstanding musical tour de force. I like to put this song on when I commute to my dead end job at 6:30am and it never fails to brighten the day.

I’m so happy to see all the love for Billy! Such an incredible musician.

Hear it from a 59 years young man, a bluegrass lover and musician: I think I’ve listened to Away From The Mire more than anyone else on this Earth. It’s a genius song. Billy, please mary my daughter!

He's 26 in this video. Just think about that. We have decades of this to look forward to.

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!

Billy strings and sturgill Simpson are the best things to happen to country music in recent years!

I rarely comment but I can't get over how good this song is

I like the sound they achieve with Jared on the mandolin. I feel like it makes them more tight. He's one of the best mandolin players around nowdays

This song is so grim and bittersweet but that melody just makes me feel like we're gonna make it guys

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 can we just take a moment 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 But 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 Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm 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 the fear again But 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

I love when they all take a solo. Freaking sweet

I will forever come back to this version of this song. This is my staple and go to for hitting those feels.

The best performance I've seen of the band doing that song to date. Thank you Adult Swim. From my childhood to now...thank you.

Kinda amazing. About a year ago my friend came to my and asked if I wanted to Billy Strings. I had no idea who he was but I said sure because he has fantastic music tastes and we had just recently gone to a JRAD concert in Red Rock which blew my mind and opened my eyes to the Dead. I didn't really bother to look into it because I kinda wanted to see the concert fresh like JRAD, but I had a long Friday night by myself with just me and power leveling my DK on WoW Classic about 2 weeks from the concert. This was the first song I clicked on and I was instantly hooked. Like sitting in my chair clicking 1 2 and 3 on a keyboard and all of the sudden I had a need, no a hunger, to boogie. I just needed to move. We went that concert and my god was it one of the most fantastic things I had ever experienced. If JRAD was wading into the shallow end of the pool then Billy's concert was cannonballing off the diving board into a world I had never known. I have never felt some kind of intangible air of good vibes; peace, love, rock and and roll, that kind of thing, in a single place before. Maybe it was the kind strangers that my friend and I befriended that shared some cool things with us that made it so memorable. (I had never just MET people at a concert before this and JRAD.) Of all the acts I have seen live: Kendrick Lamar, Rush (2 times), Muse, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Coheed and Cambria (3 times) and countless local bands at bars this was one of the most amazing nights of my life. I would only put it behind my first Coheed concert because you can never truly top your first concert, especially if you're 17 when it happens.

So Beautiful...I cant get enough of Billy Strings and his talented band ! Staying up all night listening to him!!

I feel this song in my black heart, broken soul and weary bones. It uplifts me everytime.

Why doesnt this have millions of views yet? I play this atleast once a day.

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. :(

Man this dude is doing some great things musically right now!

God I love that Billy Strings did an Adult Swim thing!!

there's an hour long doc tribute concert he does. and this bassist from this video is literally learning the songs as they play. sooooo cool!

I love this song. I keep coming back to this video because this version is superior to even the studio version. The breaks and solos in this version are just so silky smooth. Tasty jam indeed

Perfect...this young man is a phenomenon

So much energy I went to the moon and back. Best band in a long time, im blown away how much i love this music.

That jam takes me on a ride, man. That’s some good good stuff

Listening for around a year- its the kind of thing you hear once and know how amazing it is- like SRV- almost timeless.....

One of the best performances of the year

love love love that guy.. glad to see him on here

what an amazing song

That was really amazing. 10/10

I still am amazed by this guy every time.

Best band in America

I love his mind, wow, so much of his life expressed.♥️

That jammmm. Jesus Billy. Take it easy man. You’re melting my brain!

Goosebumps all over! What a great song.

Still coming back to this video. It’s so great to see how much billy has exploded since then. Nobody more deserving. See you in Nashville in may and then see you at Bonnaroo

My favorite song.

Damn this program has had Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and Billy Strings?!?! They're catering to my tastes for sure.

This blows the album version away, and I was blown away when I first heard the album. So damn good live.

LOVE that this is one of the best live versions of this tune

I love this song so much it brings tears to my eyes. ❤️❤️❤️

This gives me 8 minutes of goosebumps

this song speaks to me in the way no other human could. in ways id rather be humble about. but man what a song to make you feel like one in a million. but still push through the bull sht we endure. i pray all of you are making the best of all of this.

If he keeps it up @ this pace he will be up there with the best. Loving the group & I hope they keep bring us these great jams.

That's what happens when you play under water, your sound is so clean that you can clearly hear that absolutely zero mistakes were made.

This is what i call music. Thank you Billy. You made me fall in love with my guitars again.

Billy kept coming up on my algorithm. I'm 70 and my true test of an artist is to do work and see if they can get me to stop what I'm doing and make me come to them. For the next 3 days I was 'strung out'. And I still am.

Nothing but love for these guys.

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 this year again I can't stand to face the fear again But 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 Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm 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 the fear again But 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

I have yet to see Billy give a performance in which he did not give himself completely to it. He is one with his guitar.

Timeless beauty, thank you. A most personal truth. We're all richer for having known and heard you.

I'm seeing these guys later this year and I hope I can vibe to this song 1/3rd as hard as the stand up bass and the whatever the hell that other thing is @1:35. Their brains are lit up like a christmas tree. This song is incredible.

This man is incredible I hope he plays red rocks this year

The best version of this song!

Incredible song. Just saw them tonight in Essex vt an they extended it to 20 min (or so it felt).

I cannot stop looping this song.

Really great song. Lyrics, delivery all so ultra high level. All of them. Tremendous!

This songs means a lot to me brother, reminds me of the journey out of the hell of drug addiction and homelessness.. How family and friends helped me escape it, some of that family isn't around anymore but they will always be in my heart....and that's 4 real

i came from green shirt guy to here. amazing

Wow, way to go Billy.

YEAH!!! It does not get better than this. Go Billy and that band is smokin. 4 great artists.

I can't get enough of this song....

I cant get enough of this song. It makes me so emotional for some reason. The lyrics makes me think of my childhood and i dont know why.

Wow. This kicks ass. Banjo dude fucking shreds too.

Theres ALOT of pain and emotion in this. It looked like billy almost shed a tear during the first instrumental break.

How can they play underwater without getting electrocuted?

crazy. all respect. lucky. timeless. how far we've come.

So this is what happens when Dethklok plays acoustic?

this pulls on my heartstrings

My boy is RIPPING that banjo

I lost my dog last week . I’m listening to this on repeat drinking into the morning.. this hits hard

Go see this guy before it gets much more difficult (and much larger) to do so. He's outgrowing the clubs at a blistering pace.

Favorite song from these amazing beautiful musicians 💙

Just floating into something I never thought was possible in music.

Amazing skills! Legend in the making! My favorite song this year ❤️

Perfect song

these here boys met up with the devil at the crossroads...to make an eternal trade, & I salute them

Best I’ve ever heard

masterpiece!

Masterpiece.

I think i learned all the words to this song in 2 days bc i wore the album out in 48 hrs 😛. So good

Adult swim and billy strings my new fav combo

Heard this live in Covington hell yeah

When you hit all the notes in guitar hero

One of my favourites.

The New Grass Revival of 2020

Billy strings performed for adult swim..... im dumbfounded

34 thumbs down? There aren’t 34 people in the history of guitar to give this prodigy a thumbs down!

B.M.F.S.!!!!!

Yes! Yes! Yessss!!! This is everything that’s right in the world right here. Billy is a maestro

A Grateful Dead descendent, “get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at right”

Absolutely beautiful

Bluegrass-metal Jams, I love all of our contemporary bluegrassish shows, but no one is even close to these guys.
