You're Not Alone, by Allison Russell, Brandi Carlile

You're Not Alone by Allison Russell, Brandi Carlile, released 18 August 2022 1. You're Not Alone We are not alone. We are not what we have lost. We are more than the sum of our scars. We are the dust of the stars, the bones of the Earth, the breath of the void, the expanse of our imaginations, the arc of art, the love in our hearts. We lift each other up. We are the “Beloved Community” every time we choose to be. Our Circle is battered and bloody but still, whole. None above, none below— our one human family— equal under the listening sky. I believe what Alice Walker wrote: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” Every child deserves to be loved and protected. Our families with LGBTQIA+ parents are just as precious. No one should be forced into the sacred role of parenthood against their will. Human Rights are worth fighting for. We’ve come a long way but we must go farther still. I am grateful to my chosen family, Brandi Carlile, for singing “You’re Not Alone” with me, for inspiring me everyday, for elevating everything, for leading the way. We will not be turned back. Love & Revolution x Allison Proceeds from “You’re Not Alone” with Brandi Carlile on Bandcamp will go to benefit the Looking Out Foundation’s Every Town For Gun Safety Support Fund and The Fight For Reproductive Justice Campaign. https://www.lookingoutfoundation.org/donate “You're Not Alone” Written and produced by Allison Russell Strings arranged by Larissa Maestro & SistaStrings ( Monique & Chauntee Ross) Performed by ( in alphabetical order by first name) Allison Russell: banjo, vocals Brandi Carlile: vocals Chauntee Ross: violin, vocals Larissa Maestro: cello, vocals Megan Coleman: drums & percussion Megan McCormick: electric guitar, vocals Monique Ross: cello, vocals Recorded at Moxe in Nashville, TN Producer: Allison Russell Executive Producer: Carissa Stolting & Unmanageable Engineered by Ebonie Smith Assisted by Jordan Hamlin Mixed by Brandon Bell Mastered by Paul Blakemore
