I’m excited to share this beautiful video my brother, Dave Blomme, made for the song ‘Palmateer’ from my ‘Soft’ EP. Most of the hockey footage in the video was shot here in Oshawa – with some being shot by my wife last week featuring Simon, Charlotte and I – and some of it being shot by my father back in the 70s featuring my brother and I out in front of our house. While this song isn’t quite the ‘banger’ we probably need to get ourselves pumped for Game 7 and the next round (yes – you read that right) – a little something to calm the nerves might not hurt either.

I know to many, sports are just a silly distraction from more important dramas playing out in ‘real life’ and I wouldn’t argue that there is not some truth to that statement. However, having a favourite team and/or a favourite player in any sport can be such a joyful part of life – particularly during childhood where the drama of these sports and these athletes are just as real to you as a child as any other ‘real’ drama that our adult selves suggest sports are distracting us from. At best – following a favourite team can be a source of connection to others and a source of play and joy – a few things we are all hungering for as we stagger towards the finish line during this pandemic. The song itself is a similarly philosophical take on sports and childhood. All this to say – I hope you enjoy the song and the video. Most importantly – a huge thanks to my brother Dave Blomme for such a beautiful creation. Please share/pass it on to anybody you think would like it. Oh yes – and Go Leafs Go!
