Seth Quote about “Leafs Are Out”
“I wrote “Leafs Are Out” after falling very quickly for a person I had met on an online dating app during the pandemic. In my defence, they were totally awesome, but still… way too fast. It was my first attempt at dating after weeks of therapy and sobriety, and I was feeling pretty confident going in. Like I had cracked the code to my brain and was ready to take life by the horns.
Dating at that time was very complicated with restrictions, so the idea of things we used to do was floating around in my head. In my confident, swift, and failed attempt to woo them, my short comings felt a lot like the Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup dreams. So much hope going into every season, only to be lost in what could only be described as wreck-less self sabotage, year after year.
The thing about therapy, healing, and so on, that I’ve learned is that there is never an end zone, or a “fixed” state. Only an ever expanding tool belt to deal with the feelings that don’t ever really go away. And we’re lucky for that I think. The uncomfortable emotions make us the beautifully unique and vulnerable people we are. They make us human. They give us a reason to write a song, or create something that may help someone else.
I am not a proclaimed Leafs fan, but I do secretly root for them every year to break the curse. Everyone deserves a win once in a while.
Thank you immensly to Lydia Loveless who produced the recording, and the players (John Calvin Abney – Piano/ mellotron, Todd May – Electric guitar/ bass guitar, Jay Gasper – Electric guitar, George Hondroulis – Drums/ percussion) who brought “Leafs Are Out” to life. We created something beyond my imagination. “
