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
