"Persephone" is written by Allison Russell and Jeremy Lindsay aka JT Nero.
"An homage to my first love. We were just kids, 15 years old. Her loving kindness saved my sanity and my life on bitter winter nights when I was homeless and hanging on by a whisper. Her dark basement was a refuge and an oasis." - AR
Lyrics:
Blood on my shirt, two ripped buttons
Might’ve killed me that time oh if I’d let him
He’s slow when he’s drunk, and he lost his grip on me
Now I’m running down la rue St. Paul
Trying to get out from the weight of it all
Can’t flag a cop ’cause I know he won’t stop…
I’ll go see Persephone
Tap tap tappin’ on your window screen
Gotta let me in Persephone
Got nowhere to go but I had to get away from him
My petals are bruised but I’m still a flower
Come runnin’ to you in the violet hour
Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
Mouth to mouth, mouth to flower
Salty sweet you give me power
I feel you shake under my lips
Your fingers tender find my secrets
Don’t make a sound, don’t cry out love
Your parents are sleeping just above
I kiss you once, I kiss you twice
Fall asleep looking in each other’s eyes
Tap tap tappin’ on your window screen
Gotta let me in Persephone
Got nowhere to go but I had to get away from him
My petals are bruised but I’m still a flower
Come runnin to you in the violet hour
Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
Light on your shoulder, light on your cheek
Light telling me it’s time to leave
The birds are calling to the morning
Your parents’ feet above us stirring
Kiss your belly before I go
Climb back outta your basement window
Back to the cold’s bite, back to the hard life
Back to the harsh bright street
Tap tap tappin’ on your window screen
Gotta let me in Persephone
Got nowhere to go but I had to get away from him
My petals are bruised but I’m still a flower
Come runnin to you in the violet hour
Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin

It's so beautiful that now 3 years later she's going to be playing Persephone on Broadway... Congratulations Allison !!
What a beautiful and heartbreaking song. In a better and more open and diverse world this would be a country music classic.
I got to sing this on the Opry stage -which I never dreamed could be possible... baby steps 🙏🏾🖤🌈✊🏾
To be a "Country music classic" it has to be a mainstream hit and I don't know if you know this or not but today's mainstream country is garbage. Nashville is looking for country snap tracks and not good stories like this. It's not just Allison but there's a lot of "Americana Country" artists that make great music like this but are not as big.
@@AllisonRussell You are beyond fantastic
I fell in love with this song when I first heard it on an alternative progressive college radio station near me. It got a lot of air time and I loved it. Now I'm so addicted to the song! Every time i hear it, it sounds better and better. Misunderstood relationship outside society's norms? That's ok. It paints a beautiful picture in our hearts.
And now you get to be Persephone congratulations Allison 🥹💜
Hearing you sing this live in St Patrick’s cathedral was so beautiful it made me cry 💖
Dearest Queen the authenticity, the raw wholesomeness of ur music you the the soul. God bless you, ur beautiful music and family. One of many fans. God bless 🇲🇼
This song neeeeeds a video it’s so beautiful and lovely, dancing around my room with my afro out and pretty dress on, your voice makes me feel ethereal 💖
Here's a link to a late night show she performed on a couple days ago. ua-cam.com/video/VU6Z3xhEo_g/v-deo.html
@@justincbrown4569 That was a great performance.

This is exciting. This song is beautiful and so is Allison Russell’s music. If you’re listening to this you’re beautiful too!
A precious song pushes all the right tender buttons body and soul beautiful
Adore this song so deeply Alli. Love you. 🖤⚡️
I keep coming back to this song ever since I first heard it. Simply love it!!
She continues to impress with strong and subtle songs delivered beautifully.
A thing of beauty and a truly hypnotic experience. I predict this song will be sung at the next Grammy awards - it might even win!
Tremendous song. Another triumph from Allison and JT
My favourite writing partner of all time 🙏🏾🌈
So beautiful - pure poetry. I just listen to it over and over. I love your music Allison.
So I found this song like a year ago. I had my daughter 4 months ago- Persephone 🩷 and I didn't name her after hades wife!
This song is so incredible. I've been listening to it for almost a year now and it's still on all my playlists.
i downloaded the chords to play on my guitar; and when I got to the chorus I began unexpectedly to weep. That hasn't exactly happened to me b4, not that way . thank you, allison.
This is beautiful, I'm really glad I memorized her name the first time I heard Nightflyer. I just didn't know how much more there was to experience, so much talent.
Thanks Alison- your voice is lighting up my life ❤
Should have been Song of the Year last year. Beautifully written.
Love the wordplay on I'm still a flower/come running to you in the violet hour.
I have no words to express how this song moves my soul....You are amazing, Allison thank you so much!
My new favorite artist! I can’t stop listening. Incredible voice. Incredible lyrics. Just beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏼💕
J'habite Montreal... ton histoire et tes chansons me touchent! Merci!
Greetings from Greece!!
OMG, stop everything. What a touching song. What a compelling performance. What a singer, what a writer, what a band, what a recording. A beautiful moment.
What a voice.
This is heartwrenchingly beautiful. Thank you, Allison. 💙
Watching you preform this at Edmonton folk fest gave me such chills, and remembering you every time I hear it brings them back. You really have been through so much to get here
My son introduced me to this song. I love it SO much.
Heard you sing this at Tyler Childers concert in Calgary. It was beautiful and heartbreaking. Your music reaches people.
can't stop listening to this. thank you for sharing it -- and all your other wonderful music -- with us ❤️🫂
Thank you so much for listening 🙏🏾🥹🌈🫶🏾
i need you to have a show in norway so bad, discovered you earlier this year and you're all i listen to now.
Gorgeous song , Thank you Ms Allison 🌻🐝💕
Eu estou duas semanas ouvindo essa música repetidamente. Grande cantora. Belo arranjo. Grande música.
Went to the most recent concert at Rogers and I just have to say, I may have come to listen to Hozier, but I found one of the best musicians I've ever heard as a byproduct!
🐎🤠🎸🎼🗣️🎙️🎶 Awesome...
Just seen you at the blackdeer festival and you stood out so much with all of your vocals together was brilliant. Such a powerful voice and harmonies and really good sound.
It'll definitely be something I remember for years to come. 😊😊
This was the song through which I discovered Allison. I still love it
Every time I hear this song, it manages to grow more beautiful and hopeful. Truly remarkable - merci!
Una carezza in musica, un adorabile inno alla bellezza
I love this so much! I am listening to it on repeat and crying with happiness in hearing it! I am so proud of you and happy for you! Dancing with you from here.
Love this new gem. Hey you got a new fan from the other side of the world! Hello from Malaysia. ❤️ Be right back, I’ll be replaying this tune all weekend long. 😄
I am honoured! 🙏🏾💜
best compliment is to buy your cd (ordered!)love this song so much
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😭💙
I love this song ! My cat is named purrrsephone, and i was trying to find a good song for a picture i took of her, and i found this beautiful song!
❤❤❤❤
This has been stuck in my head for a few days now! 😂 since I heard it while driving . I had to look it up and learn it on my guitar. But it seems like it's pretty seriously a girl's song.
But I'm going to learn it anyhow!
Gorgeous tune! ❤
Allison Russell, stop dragging my heart around
Thank you 💕
Yet another incredible song, and moving story.
wooowww...Today I heard this song and your voice .... Perfect ... wooowwwww I d loved it :)))) super ...you use your voice very well ...
Beautiful and moving
This song is a masterpiece!!!💓
oh MY GOODNESSS! your voice is absolutely beautiful, as is the sentiment of this entire song. When I first heard it a few months ago I tried to find just the song but it didn't come up- thank GOD colbert had you on or i might never have found you! such a transporting song, thank you
A beautiful, beautiful song
LOVE THIS ...!
UK tour please !!!!!
Just wow! WMVY Radio spun this up on a platter.. Dang- I can't stop listening to this song..
Beautiful! Heart and soul...
Wow, awesome!
Heard Persephone yesterday for the 1st time (sorry) at the Colbert show. Such beautiful poetry and music have eased my entire day listening to it over and over. Glad to have ran into your music!
Gorgeous and very sexy lyrics! It's lovely to hear such a great song about a woman who can love both men and women. Why not?! ❤
So powerful, thank you Allison and band. CD ordered, much love from White Rock BC
Quickly became one of my favorite songs. Absolutely beautiful!
Awesome. More clarinet!
Just discovered this tune and j'aime beaucoup je vais suivre cette chanteuse avec beaucoup d'intérêt
Beautiful song, Alli, can't wait for the release of the solo album ❤️
The song is beautiful but the real Allison's strength is in live performances. My opinion.
I can't relate to the lyrics to this song since I am a straight 62-year-old white man, but I have to hear it while painting because the song as a whole is so spiritual it moves me as an artist. "My petals are bruised, but I'm still a flower"? Thats poetry at its best, I am going to try to paint that!!!!
That means you are relating despite our demographic differences- empathy is a super power! Long may you paint 🙌🏾🙌🏾🌈🌈🌈
I get many interpretations of the lyrics. Many different meanings ❤❤❤
So amazing!
Excellent, complete song in every ways ! / Merveilleuse chansons ! Je suis très fier d'elle. Merde pour les Grammy.
Spectacular! I just love it!
Amazing ... thank you!
I love this. Heard it on CBC today. great writing and singing!
So gorgeous!!! Bravo!!!
I saw you perform this on a late night show and I've been a fan since. Your music touches my soul 💕
lovely voice, look forward to seeing you at the winnipeg folk festival
So good!!
Such a beautiful song, voice, & artist! I just discovered you today & I am in love w/your music! Thank you for sharing your beautiful songs & voice w/the world! Everyone working w/you is so talented! ♥️To all!
Très belle voix, je viens juste d’acheter votre CD, de bon moment en perspective !

A song about abuse or am I mistaken?
About the journey out of abuse. About my first love who saved me 🫶🏾🌈🌈🌈
@@AllisonRussell Bless you guys 🕊💜. I too experienced abuse for 30 years. It was quite a journey breaking free but I count myself among the survivors. I refused to let that define me for the remainder of my life. 😊💪
