Mother Night from Nocturne by Jodi Heights
This haunting love song to night is Jodi's first composition using a vocal harmonizer. “Mother Night” is a piece for solo voice, aided by a vocal harmonizer, to create the sound of a choir. Nothing separates the listener from the flow of the voice, with the artist recording the entire song in one take

Lyrics
Mother Night
Fold me beneath your wings
Hide me
Change my eyes
To see underneath
The surface of everything
All the sunlit concerns fade away
As I shake off the dust of the day
Beautiful darkness
Black and velvety
Reveal the hidden depths
Of night in me
The cricket sings my soul awake
To starlit skies
I wax and wane like a moon
And waltz with the fireflies
Mystery
Shrouding the world
In shadows and moonbeams
Who are we?
Unexplored depths
Of magic and possibility
Now the silence is lovely and deep
As the noise and the light go to sleep
Beautiful darkness
Black and velvety
Reveal the hidden depths
Of night in me
The cricket sings my soul awake
To starlit skies
I wax and wane like a moon
And waltz with the fireflies
Do you hear the sweet nocturnal music
In your ears?
Lullaby to our weary hearts
Calling out to us:
“Know who you are!
Come find your way in the dark.”
