Joyful Motherfuckers, stand up and be counted...Talking to myself too...I haven’t adequate words to express the love and gratitude I feel for my good, good man- my chosen family, partner in life, music, and daughter making/raising. I’d be wandering the wilderness still if not for you, JT. - A Follow Allison Russell: Instagram: https://found.ee/AllisonRussellInstagram Twitter: https://found.ee/AllisonRussellTwitter Facebook: https://found.ee/AllisonRussellFacebook Lyrics: Where in the world are the Joyful motherfuckers ? The fearless lovers, the rainbow shooters The wild acceptors, the hopeful sinners the gentle teachers, the true forgivers? Les courageuses, les amoureuses, les enfants braves, les grand-mères jeunes, les lumineuses… translation (the courageous ones, the loving ones, the brave children, the young grandmothers, the shining ones) If you’ve got love in your heart, but it’s way down in the dark You better let it see the sun, this world is almost done Grandma always told me love will conquer hate I don’t know if it’s too late I don’t know if it’s too late Hey you hey you Who you think I’m talking to? Show em what you got in your heart Blessings be upon the thief of my childhood The ragged jackal that loveless coward Oh my father you were the thief of nothing I’ll be a child in the garden Ten thousand years and counting….. Les courageuses, les amoureuses, les enfants braves, les grands-mères jeunes Les lumineuses, petites merveilleuses Constellations hors de temps, Le coeur est plus grand Le coeur est plus grand Qu’on soupçon. If you’ve got love in your heart, but it’s way down in the dark - You better let it see the sun, this World is almost done Grandma always told me love will conquer hate I don’t know if it’s too late I don’t know if it’s too late Hey you hey you Who you think I’m talking to? Show em what you got in your heart AllisonRussell​ #JoyfulMotherfuckers #OutsideChild​ -- Lyric Video artwork by Niki Smith Frazier; edited by Frankie Cepero; graphics by Andy Hawkes -- The Community of Artists in alphabetical order: Jason Burger- drums, percussion, apple cider vinegar bottle Steve Dawson- pedal steel Jamie Dick- drums, percussion Dan Knobler- guitars, slide guitar, banjo, synths, mellotron Drew Lindsay- Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Mellotron, pump organ, organ, piano Alfreda McCrary- harmony vocals Ann McCrary- harmony vocals Deborah McCrary- harmony vocals Regina McCrary- harmony vocals Chris Merrill- bass Ruth Moody- harmony vocals JT Nero- acoustic guitar, vocals, co-writing Joe Pisapia- acoustic and electric guitars Erin Rae- harmony vocals Allison Russell- songwriting, writing, lead vocals, harmony vocals on Montreal and Nightflyer, clarinet, banjo Jake Sherman- organ on 4th Day Prayer Yola (appears courtesy of Easy Eye Sound)- harmony vocals on The Runner Produced by Dan Knobler Engineered by Kevin Sokolnicki & Dan Knobler Recorded at Sound Emporium, Studio A, in Nashville - September 18-21, 2019 Assistant engineer: Zaq Reynolds Additional recording at Goosehead Palace Organ on ""4th Day Prayer"" recorded by Jon Seale at Mason Jar Music Mixed by Dan Knobler Mastered by Kim Rosen, Knack Mastering Outside Child, an album by Allison Russell 1.
