"Green Light" is a powerful anthem about awakening—letting go of old beliefs, transcending fear, and stepping into a more authentic version of yourself. The song tells the story of a man trapped by the comfort of his own thoughts and material possessions, until he's called to break through illusion and move toward something real.

The seed of the song was planted on the north shore of Kaua‘i in March 2020, just days before the world shifted into lockdown. That moment of stillness and global uncertainty became the backdrop for a song that would evolve into a layered, soul-stirring reflection on transformation and choice.

This track features Jeff and Inger trading vocals and harmonizing throughout—a dynamic expression of their two-decade-long collaboration. The arrangement is lush and expansive: Jeff Pevar plays all the instruments on the track, collaborating with renowned drummer Steve DiStanislao (David Gilmour, CSN, CPR, Donald Fagen) on drums and percussion. Jeff also produced and engineered the recording.

Inger Nova Jorgensen was the primary lyricist and originated the melody during a quiet moment on the north shore of Kaua‘i. She and Jeff began working on the song together while in Kaua‘i, developing its core before continuing the process in the studio. Like all the tracks on the album, it’s a true collaboration—deeply personal, yet universally resonant. Subtle influences from David Crosby, with whom Jeff performed for over 30 years, echo in the harmonic choices and layered textures.

At its core, “Green Light” is an invitation—a reminder that your thoughts are not your identity, and the path forward is always open. With its soulful blend of R&B, folk, and rock influences, the song speaks to anyone standing at a crossroads, ready to move beyond limitation and step into something more.

“This song came from watching how easily we get trapped in our own stories—especially the ones we didn’t even write. 'Green Light' is about cutting through all that noise and choosing to move forward anyway. I love what we were able to accomplish with this song, it was so unexpected.” — Inger Nova Jorgensen

“Green Light was Inger’s lyrical vision which sparked a moving bass line in a pseudo-latin groove. In hindsight, I was drawn to approach the guitar part as something Crosby might’ve played. All of our unique collaborative strengths came together and once again, the music became a magical combination of the melding of our influences and our unique vision.” — Jeff Pevar
