Jennifer Castle's "Blowing Kisses" (as heard on Season 3 of FX's "The Bear") is out June 27, 2024, on Paradise of Bachelors and Solstice Radio.
LISTEN/WATCH: https://lnk.to/PoB78
DETAILS: https://paradiseofbachelors.com/jennifer-castle
On the ravishing country-soul ballad “Blowing Kisses,” her first new song in three and a half years, the celebrated Canadian songwriter Jennifer Castle contemplates time and presence, love and prayer—and how songwriting and poetry both manifest and limit all four dimensions: “No words to fumble with/I’m not a beggar to language any longer.” Featuring a sweeping string arrangement by Owen Pallett, performed by Estonia's FAMES Skopje Studio Orchestra, “Blowing Kisses” can be heard in its entirety during the pivotal scene of the penultimate episode of the third season of FX's The Bear.

LYRICS
choose to enjoy
one’s time by the water
and let one’s future flow
out on and in her honour
no words to fumble with
i’m not a beggar to language any longer
a state of mind
only a god could come up with
and don’t get it twisted
my heart’s still in it
my dedication’s a star
and it shines on our differences
and there’s love in the meantime
i’m so proud of this moment
in the stimulation here with you
i’m so fucking honoured
can you feel me?
can you feel what i do?
i’m at the front of the moment
and i’m blowing my little kisses to you, baby
i’m blowing my little kisses
can you feel what i do?
i’m at the front of the moment
so don’t be mad
if i choose to spend my time down by the water
and i let my future flow
out on and in her honour
there’s no words to fumble with
i’m not a beggar to language any longer
it’s a state of mind
only a god could come up with
only a god could come up with it
only a god could come up with it
