Acclaimed vocalist Russell Allen, known as the longtime frontman of Symphony X, has released a new ballad, “Love Her Like I Do (Ava’s Song)”, marking Autism Awareness Month with a deeply personal statement.

The track centers on Allen’s experience as a father raising a daughter on the autism spectrum, focusing on real-life moments and the emotional weight behind them. “Love Her Like I Do (Ava’s Song)” presents a more stripped-down and vulnerable side of his voice, while still carrying the intensity fans expect.

“The song was written over several years navigating the evolution of our daughter’s life on the spectrum,” Allen explains. “Observing her behaviors that most would consider quirky became normal to me and my family. It became increasingly difficult for her to make friends in her life, though we tried several groups and activities for her to explore. Her social anxiety would overwhelm her senses and she would just retreat into her ‘world’ and stim a lot.”

He continues: “The heartbreaking moment for me was when she came home from school and asked, ‘Why are the kids playing and having fun but not with me?’ The fact that she was so aware of her situation was both enlightening and difficult for us, because we knew she couldn’t change who she was for acceptance of her peers. But why should she? So the song became my wish — a father’s wish — for my daughter to find a world full of people who would accept her and love her the way we do.”

Released in line with Autism Awareness Month, the song aims to highlight the realities faced by families while pushing for greater understanding and acceptance. “Love Her Like I Do (Ava’s Song)” is now available across major streaming platforms.

Allen remains best known for his work with Symphony X, joining the band in 1995 and helping define their sound across key releases like The Divine Wings Of Tragedy, V: The New Mythology Suite, The Odyssey, and Paradise Lost. His voice has been a core element in shaping the band’s mix of technical precision and melody.

Outside of Symphony X, Allen has stayed active across multiple projects. His work with Allen/Lande alongside Jørn Lande showed a more melodic side, while Adrenaline Mob leaned into heavier, groove-based hard rock. He has also been part of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, performing in large-scale productions that brought his voice to wider audiences.

Often compared to Ronnie James Dio, Allen’s style combines power, control, and emotional range. His lyrics have covered everything from mythology to personal struggle, giving his work both scale and depth.

With “Love Her Like I Do (Ava’s Song)”, Allen shifts the focus inward, delivering one of the most personal tracks of his career while continuing to expand what fans expect from his voice.
