- "Nightflyer" is from Allison Russell's first ever solo project, Outside Child (produced by Dan Knobler). Stream/buy here: found.ee/AROut...
"Nightflyer" is written by Allison Russell and Jeremy Lindsay aka JT Nero.
"When I was sixteen I read The Thunder: Perfect Mind for the first time - it’s an exhortatory poem discovered among the Gnostic manuscripts in the Nag Hammadi library in the 40’s. It has never left me. I’ve been meditating on the nature of resilience, endurance, and grace more deeply since becoming a mother. I was trying to bridge the divide and embrace shame and my inner divinity equally with this piece…"- A
Lyrics:
Yeah I’m a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I’m an angel of the morning too
The promise that the dawn will bring you
I’m the melody and the space between
Every note the swallow sings
I’m 14 vultures circling
I’m that crawling, dying thing
I’m the smoke up above the trees, Good Lord
The fire and the branch that’s burning, Lord
Maybe you were sleeping, Lord,
But Mary she’s not weeping no more, no
Yeah I’m a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I’m an angel of the morning too
The promise that the dawn will bring you
I’m the sick light of a hurricane’s eye
I’m a violent lullaby
I’m six fireflies, one streetlight
I’m a suffocating summer night hmm mmm
I’m each of his steps on the stairway
I’m his shadow in the door frame
I’m the tap tap of a lunar moth
I’m the stale beer on his breath hmm mmm
His soul is trapped in that room
But I crawled back in my mother’s womb
Came back out with my gold and my greens
Now I see everything
Now I feel everything good lord
What the hell could they bring to stop me Lord?
Nothing from the earth, nothing from the sea
Not a God Almighty thing
Yeah I’m a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I’m an angel of the morning too
The promise that the dawn will bring you
I’m the wounded bird, I’m the screaming hawk
I’m the one who can’t be counted out
I’m the dove thrown into battle
I can roll and shake and rattle hmmm mmm
I’m the moon’s dark side, I’m the solar flare
The child of the Earth, the child of the Air
I am The Mother of the Evening Star
I am the Love that Conquers All
Yeah I’m a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I’m an angel of the morning too
The promise that the dawn will bring you

Just a 38 year old man crying at work, nothing to see here. Thank you for such a beautiful song.
Oh, you think you're crying now?.. Just teasing. Are you new to Allison Russell, JT Nero and Birds of Chicago music? Just saying if I listen to Birds of Chicago, I'm gonna cry. Period. For instance listen to this version of "Sparrow" taken from an Audio Tree session. Start it at 16 minutes in. Oh yeah, grab a box of tissue first...
th-cam.com/video/pvEERoYYz50/w-d-xo.html
No shame in that, I'm a 49 year old woman that this song brought me to my knees. Bucket list addition: meet this out of this world creator. I've never heard a song that grabbed my soul like this
52 and I’m sitting here at home alone crying at 1:15 in the morning
You're not as alone as you think you are. 🕊
You're not alone.
If we were in the '90s I would record this song over and over on a 60 minute cassette, listen to it the whole day and never get sick of it! ...To be honest the whole album is gorgeous! Grazie, ti aspetto a Roma!!
Thought I was the only dude tearing up to such a beautiful song
Grammy would do her justice
The best thing about life is when I'm surprised by new music like this that moves my soul. I appreciate all this magic
That's no Lie there brother
They're still there, once in a blue moon.
Music that tells stories are the greatest! And especially this one and how she overcame. Beautiful beautiful song.
For sure. I second your emotion. I am a tail end baby boomer. Even though I feel ours was the best era for music and creativity; I still leave room for these new young, jewels and gems to be unearthed. I believe it's the originality that breaks through. No imitations or put on airs. Authenticity is key. The honesty and beauty of this young woman is so welcome and refreshing.
Yes yes yesss!!! I agree 💯
Blessings to you♥️
I have listened to this song nonstop for 4 days so far. It brings up so much for me. Uncontrollable bursts of crying but I can’t stop listening. Looks like my childhood trauma has affected me much more than I thought. It is such a beautiful healing song. Thank you so much for this! Bless you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
For the first time in 20 years, this music makes me want to make a mix tape.
Felt every word said deep in my soul. Stunningly beautiful woman with incredible talents. Strong and brave and a warrior is what she is
Allison, I'll be humming this song long after I leave this page.
"I’m the moon’s dark side, I’m the solar flare
The child of the Earth, the child of the Air
I am The Mother of the Evening Star
I am the Love that Conquers All"
I'm going to etch this on my soul.
Thank you for letting your song out, Allison.
Thank you for listening so deeply 🙏🏾✨
@@AllisonRussell grateful to see you soar. 💜
Amen
Yeah?
Well,I'm a midnight rider, stone bonafide nightflyer!
Haha that just sounds cooler than fans I love that line❤️😃
Wow! Incredible! For every woman who has rediscovered herself, had to come undone to put the pieces back together the right way and/or is just figuring out your worth🕊🐺🔥
Insomnia after a conversation with my girlfriend about some things in her past, people who should have most protected her but did quite the opposite - and the complicit shame and silence of family - led me to turn on Joe Pug's podcast. Now, coffee in hand, I find myself here! Wow! I'll spend the next little bit putting my heart back into my chest. Thank you!
Love the flat out honesty
It is hard for the other half to process, being you. You must be a beautiful man. As is mine
Pppp
that was the most beautiful thing ice ever read. i never read comments on songs.
Literally just heard this song on Jimmy Kimmel... And now im hooked. Such a beautiful sound and song
Me too!
I saw the show and I'm hooked on that song too.
I heard this on Saturday Morning on CBS and have been playing the album since. LOVE, LOVE her sultry voice and the very soothing music!
Same
I'm mad I just discovered you but very very happy I did. I found your name while watching Mickey Guytons story
Just watched an episode of The Rookie...please don't judge🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️...this song was used towards the end...it called to me - had to find out who, what... And Thank God I did!!! Beautiful❤❤❤
No judging so did I, what an amazing song it led us to... I love The Rookie.
Me too! It was the perfect song for that moment. Perfect!
same reason im here, why to judge.its not a top show, but its good on background
“Sounding like an instant classic” some guy on the CBC referring to this song. Couldn’t agree more.
The most beautiful and soulful piece of music I’ve heard in a very long time- this is a keeper-.....those lyrics tho....Damn
Isn't it so, Angela? Right from the gut. It's a sucker punch.
She wrote this masterpiece and sings it just like an angel!!
Congratulations Allison - I met you years ago in a workshops for artists, and later interviewed you for a magazine? I can’t even remember now - anyway it was apparent from Day One that you are a star 🤩 I’ve followed your career since then, and have seen how you have so openly talked about your sexual abuse as a child as well. I can see how your life and spirit has grown so much since those days. I hope that you always take care of yourself and thank you for your openness and honesty.
Digging in my garden. This playing on the radio. Nothing gets me out of my dirt. This did💕
I do not take that lightly! 🙏🏾🌱
It's a definite truth for me and everyone who struggles with Trauma, I am sure. 'Sleeping in a cemetery was safer' I relate so much to this. I left the home and was safer sleeping rough. This has helped me out or the sinking trauma.
This song is a string of new fiber that's been woven into my life's quilt. I will feel it's soothing warmth and embrace along with the many others like it that have come before. Thank you for creating and sharing this excellent piece of words and music Allison. Peace & Happy Musical Trails! Ranger Randell KNON Community Radio Dallas - Texas Renegade Radio Show

@@lorenzorejda9842 🙏🏾🥰💜🌈
These lyrics are nothing short of perfect. You have a new fan I will definitely look up everything you've done. Right after I listen to this ten more times.
This song is hooked in my psyche. Bonifide night flyer. Long time night flying for sure. Beautiful voice and lyrics. Firefly auras. 💚💚💚💚 Resonates at a very deep level. Blessing to you Allison Russell. Amen.
I would just like to say thank you once again to the people who chose the music for The Rookie, this is an absolutely beautiful song and this video is amazing. Such gorgeous lyrics and such a shame that I have only just heard this song. Thank you.
Just heard this song on the radio driving through the middle of nowhere in the mountains and got the feels. Came home and remembered to check it out. Good stuff!
This song will be heard for many years to come, a true classic.
Watched The Rookie, and found this jewel. Sometimes it has to be like this.
Her voice is so beautiful and unique.
I have listened to this song dozens of times, and every time I pick up something new and deep from the lyrics, that fabulous soulful voice, and the melody. Allison, you can sing ANYTHING, but I hope you continue singing what your soul needs you to sing. From all of us here who were stopped in their tracks by your talent, all of us who are moved to tears each time we hear this song (and your others!), who understand the depths and complexities of life, horrible as it can be, thank you. Nothing can stop us; not a God Almighty thing. LOVE that line.
Ah crying now! Thank you for these generous, empathetic, uplifting words- thank you for listening so deeply 🙏🏾😭🖤✨
🧡🧡🧡🧡
I watch this video every time I need extra strength to remember that it's always darkest before the dawn and that we each are more powerful than we would ever believe. Thank you so much for this light, Allison, I return blessings each time I watch.
I happened to walk into my room, and this beautiful woman was singing on the Ellen DeGeneres show, hosted by Brandi Carlisle. What a treat I am so glad to have not missed. I understand she is nominated for a Grammy. Whoever she is up against, I am sorry; I sure hope that Allison Russell wins every available honor. Musician and singer. Amen.
Allison- I’m a health
care worker who loves to play music when working with my patients/peeps. This gorgeous piece of music you created is on one of my playlists. There hasn’t been a single person who hasn’t stopped what they’re doing with me to ask about this song, or comment how much they love it or even cry a little. There’s only one another song that has that done that in all my years of playing music for people. It’s an incredible thing youve done- thank you.
I found this song and this lady about an hour ago. Life has changed. Beautiful.
Yes dear one… we are not the sum of our scars ….. just heard this song for the first time this morning watching the 2022 VMA Premier show. Ty for your inspiration. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a SONG! Well done.
My Daughter just turned me on to Allison. Absolutely love this voice. Like an angelic , free spirit angel🥰🙌
My Daughter just saw Allison last night with Hozier in PA❤
Allison, this is beautiful, numinous, and healing. Soul medicine ... thank you. 🖤
Soooooo beautiful! Thank you, Brandi Carlisle for turning me onto this artist, this music. Wow!
Shout-out to the CBC feature. Thanks for allowing me to find this.
This song is a stone cold classic.
Love when I stumble upon a delightful piece of creation in the most unexpected places! I was watching “Fire Country” and the tiniest bit of this song started playing, enough to make me rewind, turn on closed caption, and write down this poet’s name 🌻
Obama Instagram songs of 2021 to hear explorer was here. Beautiful. GOOD JOB! YOU GOT IT!
I saw my ex for the first time in about 2 yrs... It was very emotional. I went out to my car and this was playing. The tears just rolled down my cheeks.
This is the most amazing song I have heard in a very long time. Just gets me right there.
I feel healing in this song. I can see it bringing so many people together. I can hear personal messages in it, but those seems small compared to the message it carries for humanity. Just what we needed right now! From a born and bred Nashvillian, Allison, you do our city proud. Thank you!
I heard this song on Jimmy Kimmel and I love love love it. I'm a fan of all three..... Y'all did that.
Beautiful, World needs more of this.
Start Yo Day With This Song.
Have The Best Day Ever.
Every Day.
Still one of my favorite songs of the past 3 years.
If this song does not touch your heart, you're dead
Wow, just wow.
🌈♀️♀️🌈Allison love your voice sooo much... Hope I could see u live in Vienna someday wish u and your family health ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Just heard this on UK BBC Radio4 'Loose Ends' prog... "blown away on a solar wind".... got to get the album :-)
Superb album, I just heard this on Loose Ends too, fantastic.
Local radio station used this tune for "bumper music" today, and it stopped me in my tracks. I had to go find it.
Just heard this song on the local radio while driving. As soon as I got parked I looked it up. Rich wholesome voice, tempo, lyrics drew me right in! More please.
I was channel surfing just now and came across Farm Aid 2021. Right at that exact moment, Allison started performing "Nightflyer". I was so moved that I immediately came looking for this song! What an immense talent! She's the real deal!
Allison Russell I have to meet you before my time on earth ends just to be graced with shaking your hand. Man have I been through it and am now just rising from my absolute rock bottom, I have lost it all but God glory and the universe by my side I found 1 thing I have endlessly searched for and it took me 49 years - I found me. The real me no masks as I no longer concern my soul with worldly views. Heard this yesterday morning and I have played this song over and over as it brought me a deep out of this world sense of completion. My end is merely but my absolute beginning. I'm a violent lullaby. This song gave me more energy and peace than I thought possible. You are an amazing night flyer of source. The energy and calm the fire alongside water. Wow. You are a legend in the making. What can I do to get an autograph from one of Gods amazing artists that has found their true deep talent?
this song still reaches deep into my Black Soul every time I hear it. 🙏& ❤️❤️❤️ from
🇨🇦
This song is hits me somewhere deep. I keep coming back.
This is almost too good! I can’t wait for the album!!!
Such a touching artistic and visual representation of the redemption and acknowledgment and acceptance of some deeply painful memories and emotions. This is a phoenix story. Thank you for your honesty and your artistry Allison.
🙏🏾✨
This is beautiful and amazing. I want to watch it five million times and give it that many likes. Bless and be blessed always, all ways.
I think this song was just on the show The Rookie? So lovely
The song and video are both so beautiful. Mesmerizing.
Freedom of music, freedom in creativity... I'm so glad you have your freedom.
I saw you in Chautauqua, and I just want to say it was the most beautiful performance I’ve ever heard. You have such a way with words that moves me more than I can convey in any form. Keep going, you’re a strong, brave person, and soon everyone will be cheering you on for it. ❤️
Pure poetry, art at its most radiant being!!!!
I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. This is lovely.

I have never seen the feminine captured so accurately and beautifully, as this song does. What a gift to the heart and soul. Thank you for birthing this song, and sharing it, so gloriously.
Heard this on "Out of the Box" and I am in LOVE!
This song is absolutely 💯! Speaks to my soul! Your voice and these words are so powerful!
I dedicate this song to my daughter Tessla. She’s the strongest woman I know with so many obstacles that she will overpass with flying colors my angel!
She will be in Abiquiu, NM for the 3-day "Ladder to the Moon" Festival @ Ghost Ranch (Sept. 9, 10, 11, 2022). Absolutely the #1 reason I am going. The additional artists in the lineup are also incredible. Check it out.
Above all.... a gift for our time...
Allison knocking out unbelievably good music 😊
Thank you Queen, I hope you find Peace. Thank you for your truth.
The Rookie brought me here. 😊
I HAVE TO Play this at the least 2 times a day to calm, soothe and engulf me and ward off whatever daily evil I am inflicted with. Her voice, this song....moves my soul.
I started collecting 🪶 feathers on my journey thru Life, way b4 I ever heard this song or seen the video.
I'm an artist
I painted a large mural on my kitchen ceiling of a morning sunrise 🌄 , with a smiling faced 🌞 Sun.
For the highlights in the pupils of the 👁️ eye, I made them in the shape of 3 stars ✴️ & a crecent moon 🌙 ...
The same symbol that is on the back of Allison's jacket in the beginning of the video.
Interesting
I must of been meant 2 find this song & listen 2 it.
Great song 🎶
Thanks 4 sharing ....
You'll be performing in Kentucky, where I'm from, this summer with fellow Artists Chris Stapleton, Wyonna Judd & a long list of other talented artists.
Hopefully, I'll be able 2go2 the concert.
Sounds like a great lineup of talent.
Take care of yourself
Have a Great Summer 🌞
Peace
Definitely moves the soul .thank you Allison
Brilliant music. One of the best songs of 2021. The proof that there's some great music being made. A song for iternity ♥️
I adore this song!
Alison you breathe new life into the music world! Fly high soul sister! ♥️
Just heard this on CBC Radio's Q with Tom Power. I'm so thankful I heard this beautiful song today and found your music.
I’m gonna see Allison today at the New Orleans Jazz Festival!! Stoked!!!❤
idk the genre but i love this song.
This is considered like indie-folk
It’s Country Blues or Soul Blues. Either one of them
I'll be following your solo efforts, Ms. Russell. Keep it coming, please
Listened to this several times a day for the last few months. Bless you child.
Reminds me of the houses in Dublin city centre i grew up there memories
Thank you public radio (WEXT) for bringing this beautiful song into my life.
Silky smooth
Extraordinary song...
Thank you for this gorgeous song!
The lyrics.. the mood.. SO beautiful✨
The best! I can't get enough....First heard this in August of 2021- WYEP 91.5 Pittsburgh. Soooooooooo fantastic! Share this. Like this. Repeat.
This song does my heart and soul good! I’m inspired and in spirit! “IM THE WOUNDED BIRD, IM THE SCREAMING HAWK!” I am the mother of the evening star…the promise that the dawn will bring you.
Soooooooooo beautiful.
💙🩵💙 Amen & Amen
Gorgeous! Just like you. Can’t wait to hear more!
A beautiful strong black woman with a voice that is jaw dropingly incredable. All I can say is WOW.
This is one of the great songs of 2021. Lyrics and music and arrangement are wonderful. Thanks to Allison and everyone who helped her to give birth to this masterpiece
Stunningly beautiful ❤️
The art is clearly here.... you can hear it in the song... but this woman has the sensibility to take it farther....lovely visuals. What a VOICE.
She is amazing.
If the first 2 tracks from Outside Child are indicative of the whole album, this is going to be a very good album.
