Eylsia’s “Don’t Speak to Strangers” is a no-nonsense, rootsy song with an emotional spine and a shot of grit. It’s the kind of track that makes you feel like you’re riding shotgun down a dusty backroad, windows cracked, heart cracked open, holding tight to everything you still believe in.

Drawing from the tradition of Americana storytelling with a modern sensibility, the song is upbeat in tempo but rich in wisdom. There’s depth beneath every line, like a gospel whispered through whiskey breath and barbed-wire resolve. Eylsia’s vocals walk that line between strength and vulnerability, steady, heartfelt, and human.
The lyrics hit hard in their simplicity: “Don’t talk to strangers, don’t bet against yourself.” It’s the kind of line your mama might’ve said when you were ten, and you’ll still be unpacking it at fifty. Each verse lays out a life of dust, loss, defiance, and redemption. There’s a lived-in truth here, the cards might be stacked, but the house don’t always win.

As a teaser for God & Country, “Don’t Speak to Strangers” signals an album that’s not just music, it’s a manifesto. For anyone who’s ever walked away from the table but still kept betting on themselves, this one’s for you.
