Heather Nova’s ‘From Up Here’: A Soaring Tribute to Life & Loss

Heather Nova has returned with a poignant and visually stunning new single, “From Up Here,” taken from her latest album, “Breath and Air,” released on February 20th, 2025. This ethereal track, accompanied by a breathtaking music video directed by Sacha Blackburne, is a deeply personal reflection on life, loss, and the enduring power of memory.

Nova’s inspiration for “From Up Here” stems from the sudden passing of a close friend. In her own words, she describes the profound sorrow she felt, particularly for her friend’s children and the milestones she would miss. However, amidst the grief, Nova found a profound sense of gratitude. “I feel that those who die leave us with the immense gift of an extra appreciation for being alive,” she shares. “So they truly are angels in the sense that they remind us to live fully and in gratitude.”

This sentiment resonates strongly throughout “From Up Here.” Nova’s signature haunting vocals, combined with a delicate yet powerful melody, create an atmosphere of both melancholy and upliftment. The song feels like a gentle embrace, a reminder to cherish every moment.

The music video, crafted by Sacha Blackburne, perfectly complements the song’s emotional depth. Featuring stunning aerial footage of humpback whales, courtesy of John Singleton, and mesmerizing shots of leopard rays by Jessica Riederer, the visuals offer a sense of perspective and wonder. The vastness of the ocean and the graceful movements of these creatures serve as a powerful metaphor for the interconnectedness of life and the beauty that surrounds us.

The aerial footage, in particular, lends itself to the idea of a spirit looking down, “From Up Here,” offering a unique and moving perspective. Heather Nova has created a truly special piece of art, one that invites listeners to reflect on their own lives and the preciousness of time. “From Up Here” is a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of living with gratitude. It’s a must-listen for any fan of Heather Nova’s evocative and heartfelt music.
