Listen to Jennifer Castle’s new song “Blowing Kisses,” featured in season three of The Bear.

After more than three years of silence, Toronto-based Jennifer Castle is back today with “Blowing Kisses,” the soundtrack to a key scene in episode nine of The bear‘s brand new third season.

“No words to fumble with / I’m no longer a beggar of language,” Castle sings over a rousing country ballad with a string arrangement by Owen Pallett, performed by Estonia’s FAMES Skopje Studio Orchestra conducted by Sasho Tatarchevski.

“Blowing Kisses” was produced by Castle together with sound engineer Jeff McMurrich and features Carl Didur on piano, Mike Smith on bass, Evan Cartwright on drums, Castle on acoustic guitar and Victoria Cheong and Isla Craig on backing vocals.

“‘Blowing Kisses’ is a love letter sent from the immediate presence of the moment,” Castle explained in a statement. “Language can be so futile; I always hate to explain myself, and yet my love for you makes me try, my hands gesticulating in a never-ending loop. One day I will no longer be here to worship the buoyancy of the blue lake. I am carried by the loving energy of God. Every rose has its thorns, that’s true, but let’s focus on the rose for now.”

Castle’s song found its way to The bear thanks to her long-standing friendship with Matty Matheson, with whom she once worked at the original La Palette venue in Toronto.

“After watching the second season of The bear last summer, and when I completely fell in love with the show, I sent him ‘Blowing Kisses,'” Castle continued. “He shared it with his team and to my delight, it all fell into place. What a special way to premiere this song! I will be watching it along with the millions of other people who fell in love with this show. Congratulations to Matty, I send all my love and admiration to the people who make this show. I am honored to play a small part in their magic. Thank you!”
