• when i was fifteen my mom played a youtube video of bobcaygeon for me and all i could think was how strange you looked, twitching all over stage, every inch of your body performing
  • you loved music like it kept you alive and maybe it did
  • i grew up listening to your music and there's something about the way your voice unfilters the beauty of the world so i can see more clearly
  • "i saw the constellations reveal themselves one star at a time" is such a beautiful line
  • the way you made me proud to be canadian and proud to be from toronto, the way you made me see my city as though its ordinary traffic lights were important as though there was beauty and grace in every moment of the subway door chime, the way you make me miss my home
  • the stories you chose to share the voices you held up to the light, the support of Indigenous voices and that you used your voice to empower a cause
  • the optimism and hope you filtered your love for us all into
  • i will miss you, a stranger i never met. i will miss your philosopher king interviews on cbc and the way you took moments and made them into gems to examine, made stories out of history
  • if one day i can leave a legacy the way you have, i will have done enough to make this world a better place, to make canada a a better home
  • you made a home out of music & words for me, and i can't say enough thank yous for that
