Back In The Mire Again

I posted a version of this song in 2021 when first discovering Billy Strings.  Since then, I've listened to 15 or 20 live versions of Away From The Mire and seen Billy and his band perform their dynamite live set.  It remains my favorite with its strong melody, lyrics, and other-worldly guitar solo.  This version is from Lollapolozza 2022.


Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythmIt's consciously held back in youYou're drowning a sorrow that's long been at restThe past is a hell, it can creep up inside youSo let me remind you of thisIt's the reason your troubles exist
