New music video for World Space Week 🛰️ “Nearest Neighbor” – written from the perspective of a friendly extra-terrestrial who's a big fan of humanity. Their civilization could be closer than you think! //For eons, we’ve been watching you Keeping track of all you do Wondering at the view Of our nearest neighbor// (The song is also available on Spotify, YouTube Music, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon Music, and more.) Music & Lyrics © ℗ 2020, 2021 Jeannie Novak Engineered by Sejo Navajas (4th Street Recording Studio, Santa Monica, CA) and JC LaResche (Village Studios, Los Angeles, CA) Mixing by Bobby Vickery & Matt Bishop // NEAREST NEIGHBOR © 2020 Jeannie Novak For eons, we've been watching you Keeping track of all you do Wondering at the view Of our nearest neighbor Your home is a nice shade of blue Unlike our chartreuse hue We find ourselves envying you Our nearest neighbor Someday we might get the nerve To visit and try to serve But we might be misheard Someday we might try to fly Through deep space, across the sky We'd just be stopping by To see our nearest neighbor In the meantime, we'll just wait Until we can communicate It will never be too late To see our nearest neighbor When we zoom in really close We see why we love you most Your sense of humor, silly jokes Even when things seem morose One day, we might be your friend Until then, we'll play pretend We wouldn't want to offend Our nearest neighbor Someday we might get the nerve To visit and try to serve But we might be misheard Someday we might try to fly Through deep space, across the sky We'd just be stopping by To see our nearest neighbor In the meantime, we'll just wait Until we can communicate It will never be too late To see our nearest neighbor To see our nearest neighbor Neighbor Our nearest neighbor

Squirrel lovers: It's World #AnimalDay!

A #squirrel fell from a tree and was rescued by humans who fed & played music for her. She recovered and roamed free – living happily ever after. Based on @atmanrising.bsky.social's poem, "Outerworld" is written from her POV 🐿️

Jeannie Novak | "Outerworld" #MusicVideo #WorldAnimalDay #Squirrel #Wildlife #Song
For all you squirrel lovers out there, we’re celebrating World Animal Day 🐿️ Once upon a time, an injured squirrel fell out of a tree. Rescued by her human neighbors, she was fed and serenaded with music and the buzz of Formula 1. After being transported to a Malibu rehab facility, she was able to roam free with other squirrels like her and was eventually nursed back to health – living happily ever after ☀️ “Outerworld” – based on a poem written by @atmanrising – tells the story from the squirrel's point of view. Song recorded on piano and voice for the SHELTER collection 🎹 Music © 2020 Jeannie Novak Lyrics © 2020 Luis Levy Recording ℗ 2021 Jeannie Novak Engineered by Sejo Navajas at 4th Street Recording Studio (Santa Monica, CA) Preliminary mix by Bobby Vickery Acoustic remix by Matt Bishop // OUTERWORLD © 2020 Luis Levy Out of the darkness, into the light Can’t find my way out, can’t think or fight Noises and smells, danger abounds Help me, I’m alone, I’ve lost my home No way to leave this place But there’s food to eat What is this strange, weird sound That makes me sleep I’m shaken yet warm With waves of sound, eerily calm I wait as time runs out, away from waking eyes I’m feeling stronger now, my fear slowly dies You let me out, into the air There are others like me, no longer scared Now I can leave this place I have strength to feed That strange and soothing sound Helped me to sleep I was shaken yet warm With waves of sound, eerily calm There’s sun and wind And others like me I sleep without fear You set me free
