In a world that often feels overwhelming and fast-paced, "Green Light," the debut single from Inger Nova and Jeff Pevar, arrives like a much-needed breath of fresh air. As many of us navigate the changes and challenges in our lives, this song serves as a powerful call to awaken, let go of old habits, and discover our true selves.
"Green Light" feels like an invitation into a warm and expansive soundscape. Guitarist Jeff Pevar, who has played with musical legends like David Gilmour and Crosby, Stills, and Nash, creates a rich musical background all on his own. The intense drumming by Steve DiStanislao gives the song its steady heartbeat, guiding us gently along the journey of moving forward. The music tells the story of a man who is trapped by outdated beliefs, fears, and material desires, until he begins to feel a stirring within himself. The "green light" symbolizes his choice to step into a more authentic life. It's not just about the message, it's something we can all reflect on.
The vocals by Inger Nova and Jeff Pevar add a heartfelt touch to the song. Their long collaboration is evident in their harmonies and the way they interact while singing. Their voices convey a deep sense of emotion, making the story feel relatable and universal. Interestingly, "Green Light" was created just before the world changed dramatically in March 2020, adding an extra layer of meaning. That quiet time before the storm became the perfect foundation for a song that has evolved into a celebration of the human spirit's resilience.
