Dying Star was co-produced by Kelly and Jarrad K (Kate Nash, Weezer) and recorded at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, TX. It includes 14 songs written/co-written by Kelly and features Kelly (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, xylophone, harmonica), Jarrad K (12-string guitar, background vocals, electric guitar, Rhodes), Tim Kelly (pedal steel), Ian Fitchuk (piano, organ, drums, percussion), Eli Beaird (bass) and Kyle Ryan (banjo) as well as background vocals from Jon Green, Natalie Hemby, Kacey Musgraves, Kate York, Abby Sevigny and Joy Williams. Of the album, Kelly comments, “A lot of my music is focused on suffering, or trying to understand the human condition through the lens of suffering…which probably sounds totally depressing, but it’s actually the flipside of that. Sometimes you’ve gotta go into that darkness—you need to get lost and then figure out for yourself how to find your way back. That’s the only way we can find pure joy, and really be thankful for the life we’ve been given.”

13. Ruston Kelly, Dying Star
“...the lonesome and blue Dying Star is cold and bright in all the right ways. As the title suggests, most of the album concerns itself with bright things that are losing their staying power, a meditation on loss, pain, and the whole damn thing. Even when these songs are tinged with heartache, Kelly’s velvety, rough voice makes the bitter go down sweet. 'Faceplant' and 'Blackout' will be familiar territory for those who find themselves perpetually single, relying on outside uppers to numb the pain or sabotage the best things they’ve had. If you’re into harmonica-heavy, whiskey-drenched ballads, this record is for you. After all, there’s plenty of kinship to be found in melancholy—and it takes some of the bite out of these drained ballads to know that, in reality, Kelly is happily in love.”

LYRICS

Hello again, how have you been?
You never seem to have much to say
I've been awake for a week
I'm trying not to sleep
And you drain every little bit of me away

And you know I ain't doing too well
But I've found a few things that help

I black out in a bar
I get high in my car
I drive 'round in circles
'Till I'm seeing stars
I get so fucked up to forget who you are
I dumb down my head so I can't feel my heart pound
And I black out
Black out

I think it through the day
That I ain't suffocating
And argue Lebron with my friends
And when I polish off a handle
I laugh and I ramble
'Bout anything other than what I been holding in

And most of the time it hurts
But I've found a few things that work

I black out in a bar
I get high in my car
I drive 'round in circles
'Till I'm seeing stars
I get so fucked up to forget who you are
I dumb down my head so I can't feel my heart pound
And I black out
I black out

You know I ain't doing too well
But I've found a few things that help

I black out in a bar
I get high in my car
I drive 'round in circles
'Till I'm seeing stars
I get so fucked up to forget who you are
I dumb down my head so I can't feel my heart pound
And I black out
Black out
