Here is the description of the band from Sweden:

When gotlandic band Kinkaid split up after playing together for four years in the fall of 2002, they left a big void in Gotlands musicscene. With their experimental mix of powerpop, psychadelia and reggae they left their fans wanting more.

Out of the ashes rose; Novak, consisting of some of the founding members of Kinkaid. While maintaining their diverse musical infuences their focus now lies on crafting powerful and moving songs. Novak is a pop/rock band with a quite own brand of quality songwriting, dabbling in pop, rock, americana and 70´s balladry but they’re not a retro band and have created a up to date and very own sound of their influences.

Their live performances possess a rare intensity and leaves you with a warm, happy/sad feeling as the band guide you through their own unique brand of quality songwriting, dabbling in pop, rock, americana and 70´s balladry.
The lyrics often tend to deal with the frustration of everyday boredom, sometimes born out of living in a small town, or on an an island in the middle of an ocean. In other words; classic escapism.

Their debut, album was recorded and produced by Pierre Lindsjöö in his studio studio Konst&Ramar (where he have recorded bands as Ceasars Palace, Dungen, Empire Dogs, Strip Music and many more).

This Novak are no more and some of the members moved on and formed the band Antennas.

Novak is also the name of the solo project of Kenny Mooney (also of L.I.N.E). Drawing inspiration from a variety of sources, including film, politics, and literature, musically Novak is hard to describe. With one foot in the world of post-rock and the other in drone and noise, Novak brings together many different sounds and ideas to form a dark shadow of a sound.

Think About Me
Novak Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here she comes strutting down the street turning heads
Got the world at her feet and the carpet is red
Everybody wants her and she knows it too
I think she’s looking over here coming my way
I don’t know what to do what should I say?
She’s the Devil in disguise or a dream come true
I better think about you
Think twice about you

Yea the word around town
If the rumor is true
I better think
Think twice about you
She’s like a modern day Medusa there is poison in her kiss
Takes what she wants no one dares to resist
She’ll through you to the curb when she thinks she’s had enough of you
Now she’s coming close nowhere to hide
It’s like I’m committing emotional suicide
I’m going to get burned I know what should I do?
I better think about you
Think twice about you
Yea the word around town
If the rumor is true
I better think
Think twice about you
She’s motioning to me take my hand
Will she lead me to the promise land?
Yes she knows what she wants
But I don’t want to be her fool
I better think about you
Think twice about you
Yea the word around town
If the rumor is true

I better think
Think twice about you
