about

Upbeat rock song featuring Jonathan Parker’s energetic sax which evokes a classic Sesame Street vibe. It also features several layers of Ayanna Gallant’s excellent backing vocals. The song is all about encouraging the listener to go outside and enjoy nature like the ladybug in the song. The puppets on the back of the album cover are from the music video that will accompany the song, made by Quack & Wabbit in Humboldt, CA. The video is being produced by Sandra Kratc who made the videos for “Hey Pluto” and “Virtual School” and who did the graphic design for Energetic!

lyrics

Ladybug on the windowsill
I see you there sitting oh so still
Oh, ladybug on the the windowsill
Don’t you wanna go outside?

Well there’s, fresh air and warm sunshine
Flowers, plants, and trees.
You can take a rest on a garden leaf
Or fly around with the bees

I know I don’t have to convince you
But it’s better being outside,
So, get out there and fly, ladybug, fly!

We’ll fly, glide, and soar — flutter away (flutter away)
Let’s go on an adventure today (an adventure today)
We’ll catch a breeze to set us free,
Where we’ll end up, no one can say
So, stretch your wings and flap, fly away.

My little friend by the windowsill
I see you there sitting oh so still
Oh my little friend by the windowsill,
Don’t you wanna go outside?

Well there’s blue sky and puffy clouds
Flowers, trees, and plants
You can take a walk on a woodsy trail,
Find a field to spin and dance

I know I don’t have to convince you
That it’s better being outside,
So, get out there and fly, little friend, fly!
Oh, get out there and fly, my little friend, fly!
Just, get out there and fly my little friend, fly!
