Billy Strings - In The Morning Light (Official Video)

[@andrewnieboer]

My wife died of cancer on our 12th anniversary in May 2022. This song deeply expresses so many of my emotions. Things I don’t even know how to express. Especially captures the gratitude I have for 12 years with my soul mate. Thank you, Billy.

[@leeford7411]

bless you, he’s done the same for me

[@jacquiekerrigan]

Not the same but touches us all It's shared faith

one of his best compositions , this is underrated

[@ColdStartAuto]

Dammit billy. I heard this song in my truck, coming home from evacuating from Ida, and you made this veteran cry. Your music is inspiring and made me pick my guitar back up. So thanks for that you fuck.

[@firstcutlawncare1558]

Its said he learned from a good teacher

[@zack.hughes]

Ugly cried to this song during the pouring rain at Red Rocks May 11th 2023. My 33rd birthday shared with my soulmate by my side.

[@joshmemphismade7151]

Yo, suck it up. Life hurts no but for real though cool moment.

[@THBbon]

I had never cried at live music in over 10 years of going. I saw Billy for the first time at Summer Camp and it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard in my life and I cried the happiest tears of my life. What a gift he has given the world!

[@nunyanunya6398]

Moved to tears of joy myelf..first live music thats done this...billy strings is fixing a hole where the pain gets in

If you ever have the chance to see Dave Matthews live, take it. You’ll cry, I can promise you that. Tears of joy and appreciation.

Music is amazing. It can bring out emotions you never thought about happening. It's beautiful and magical when it happens! It happens to lots of people including myself.

Ken Oath. His music eases the mind

[@markknox2460]

@Infamous Grizzly Says who?

[@markknox2460]

@Infamous Grizzly I've heard that said, but as far as I can tell, Billy has been very clear about where the 33 comes from. His Grandpa was a race car driver and his car's number was 33. Just saw recently that Billy now sponsors an IMCA modified car. Seems anyone with even an ounce of fame needs to find one of the 4 possible numbers that don't somehow align them with Freemasonry, to appease the "everyone is a Freemason" cult.

[@LowerStandards33]

"And in the evening when the sun is running low, I'll walk bravely through the fields of burning embers, and I'll remember everything she said to me back when our love was first in bloom." Fucking poetry!

[@muhammadishmail3827]

[@jacquiekerrigan]

Never take tomorrow for granted

[@Gaaaarf]

I can’t listen to this song too often. Because when I do, I want to feel the same emotion I felt the first time I listened. In my opinion, this is the greatest love song ever written, and it it’s a mile ahead of second place.

[@wiggyandtaco]

saw him play this at the mission in Colorado on Sunday. Never cried that hard to a song before. The line "not sure if i deserve, all the love that I receive, so i give it all to her" was what got me. I think alot of people can relate to this feeling of receiving unlimited love from everyone around you and feeling guilty about the past. Wondering if you deserve any of this love, because of wrongdoings in the past. When it just becomes too much, you just need to give it away. I think everyone deserves a second chance, at life, at love, and at friendship. You can always change the person you are. Nothing is ever permanent. Each and every moment is different from the last. Its called a renewal and thats what its all about. Thank you Billy for this masterpiece!

[@Autum333]

Seeing this live on your tour in 2023 was incredible, I couldn’t stop crying your music touches apart of the soul no other music can.

[@tommitri]

Damn, it’s not fair to have me crying like a spring this early in the morning ❤️

[@glcherman1313]

I have no words for this song and Billy's voice. It's like a ghost sitting next to me, whispering what's important in life.. So powerful and left me sayin damn you Billy for making me a puddle!!! A song hasn't touched me like this in forever. Hug your person today and always and never let go. Hands down Billy is a treasure to say the least.

[@marios.5748]

chills...you nailed it gary

[@sueecavanau]

I had the same reaction as you did. I was shocked at Billy's vulnerability. Bluegrass definitely has a heartbreak component to it, but this had such a depth, the sharing of innermost feelings of love and fears of rejection. Those feelings of, "Am I enough?" And paired with such divine music. I'm actually just kind of stunned right now.

[@carolyngarman1422]

This song will break your heart.

[@RAM-tc7xq]

Dam It Billy, your voice echoes the greats and you made me take a look inside and see just how empty and Mistaken I am !!! 💔

My boyfriend opened me up to Billy’s music . This song is absolute art and full of emotions … Keep making music . 🎶

[@ignoranceisblissindeed]

My fave from Billy....although painfully haunting...its beautiful and hits you right smack dab in the center of your feels.

[@jamessalzer7684]

The way he hits that minor note after the verse "all the praise that I can earn means nothing without hers"... damn.

The thing that stands out the most in the studio version is Jarrod Walker’s mandolin. He seems to be playing a perfect harmony over whatever Billy is picking/singing the entire song. So well arranged

Maybe they sense a "woke" aspect to it, a trite checking off of boxes, gay, straight, black, white, etc.

I dedicate this song to my only brother. Last year I wished him a Happy Birthday, January 13th, just two days later He passed away. He lived in Grand Junction, Colorado. He was in a band. I miss and love you, Nick. He was a big fan of Billy Strings. My older brother played guitar, and was really good. We've been through a lot together, now all I have are the memories.

Didn't think I'd find myself sobbing my eyes out to a bluegrass song tonight but here I am... Not the kind of music I typically listen to but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless! Maybe even more so because it's out of my ordinary. As a gay woman I was delighted to see people like me in the video. I found myself relating to all of the couples in different ways and it was a beautiful experience. Looks like you're coming to my city pretty soon, that's really cool!!!

I’ll never forget seeing this video and listening for the first time where it showed a couple husband and wife together him supporting her sickness and her trembling hand having a simple cup of coffee together - this was Nancy and I who had Alzheimer’s disease. It was so powerful to watch. Nancy like his wife is now gone but our memories live on forever. She would want me to be happy not sad and enjoy my life but there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about her and I’m sure this will never change. We laughed a lot together I’m laughing with her still - she’s still here with me …….
