NIGHTBIRDE

“The flowers under freeway bridges are blooming Just like our childlike hope had promised us The earth is still moving, bending herself, turning to look back at us So we don't forget that this ride around the galaxy means something All of the wildflower seeds we left behind are blooming now In a finale of wind and wonder After the forest fires cleared away the debris The colors finally had a chance to testify in their case for hope The seeds made no promises before they closed their eyes under the soil They simply said goodbye But the wild ones have sat up again from their sleep "Here we are. We have always been." - a poem “Underway Freeway Bridges” from NIGHTBIRDE’s book of poetry titled “Poems for the Dark” with the forward written by her good friend Simon Cowell Benefitting The Nightbirde Foundation #nightbirde #nightbird #poems #poetry #bridges #writer #poet #essay

No surprise here that the New Radicals song “you get what you give” was a favorite of Jane’s. Here’s Jane singing her version that we released with her producer on the 2 year anniversary of Jane’s passing. We know she would’ve been singing this song live, today, if she could. 💕 🕊️ #nightbirde #nightbird #yougetwhatyougive #cover #rip #memories #itsOk #agt #itsokaytonotbeokay #encourage #inspire

“I can see now that there are too many paragraphs between here and there That are written poorly, and too quickly- with haste and without reverence The pages between are records of ghosts Moments I've breathed in, but could not hold in my lungs for long” An excerpt from Nightbirde’s Poem “Page One” of her poetry book “Poems for the Dark”. Jane always hoped her art was the art you would run to when you’re in your darkness. She always hoped she could inject people with a massive amount of hope in their trials. We would say, Jane accomplished her mission and she STILL gives hope, to this day, to millions of humans across the global. You can find her book of poetry in the link in the bio and full poem on the nightbirde website Photos by: Abby Sarg #nightbirde #nightbird #poetry #poems #hope #encourage #motivate #inspire #itsokaytonotbeokay #poem #itsok #AGT #keepgoing

As we work on getting Jane’s album out that she was working on when she passed, we came across this little clip of her title track from the album coming in early summer “still got dreams”. Digging through all of this and bringing her art to life in the way she wanted, is the one thing that powers us through the sadness of missing her so very much. Enjoy this clip. More in the coming months #nightbirde #nightbird #stillGotDreams #dreamer #hope #encourage #inspire #keepGoing #agt #itsOk #itsokaytonotbeokay

A beautiful, intimate performance we found of Jane (Nightbirde) singing “Girl in a Bubble” live back in 2019. What we wouldn’t give to have these moments again, however, she’s now singing in a way she never had on earth, healed. Nightbirde has two versions of this song on streaming platforms, one studio version and one live version. If you feel like an outsider, then Jane wrote this song for you. #nightbirde #nightbird #girlinabubble #liveMusic #concert #memories #hope #inspired #encourage

Some beautiful memories of Jane with her version of “You Get What You Give” originally by The New Radicals. We sure do miss you sweet Jane! #nightbirde #nightbird #YouGetWhatYouGive #newRadicals #coverSong #inspire #encourage

“As each wave smashed into the earth, mist exploded into the sun, becoming a cloud of rainbow vapor, all eight colors, glittering in the air for only a second. My eyes widened and I leaned forward. The angle of the water had to be just right, and the prism lasted only as long as a falling star. I was mesmerized by each wave hitting the rocks, shattering into ten billion gleaming pieces before falling back into one whole, finally reaching home.” Nightbirde 🕊️ #nightbirde #nightbird #photos #memories #hope #inspire #encourage #rip

"Waking up and trying is so hard, it's the bravest thing ever." This is a beautiful memory of Jane that she filmed showing that although you all saw such a brave side of her, she also had times where she was fully human, and lived the human experience of worry and being overwhelmed. But she showed you all these sides of her so you would know her struggles, while also knowing her faith in God. Her questions didn't stop because she had faith, she struggled and she had faith. She was sad, mad, overwhelmed and happy all at the same time. Jane wanted you all to know you could be all of those things simultaneously, you don't have to pick one. #nightbirde #nightbird #inspire #encourage #motivate #humanexperience #itsOk #agt

"When Grief comes knocking, answer the door. Let her in. Let her tell you all that was lost. Let her remind you how marvelous it was. Let her paint your memories in slow motion, let her sing your story with a cello. Let her teach you gratefulness and how to pay attention. Do not turn her away at the door. If you do, she will come back again knocking. Let her speak her piece. Let her do her work, cleansing you of your tears. Then send her on her way. Then you can sleep through the night without waking from her tapping." From Jane's essay "when grief comes knocking".
