Born in Toronto, Castle was raised in Mississauga and Orangeville, and spent time living in London, England, and Vancouver, British Columbia, before returning to Toronto and launching her music career at open mic nights in the city.
Castle says that she “takes the world very seriously, while believing very much in impossible things.” This idea of being rooted in the real world – yet still free to soar in the ether of daydreams – offers insight into the contradictory and alluring world of Jennifer Castle.
After lending her unmistakable voice to a diverse list of recordings – including The Constantines’ Kensington Heights, Fucked Up’s Year of the Pig and David Comes to Life, as well as albums by Ryan Driver, Eric Chenaux, Doug Paisley and Wooly Leaves – Jennifer Castle now brings her timeless take on folk music to the world under her own name for the first time with Castlemusic. One of Canada’s best kept secrets, Castle has managed to stay low-key and grounded in Toronto, Ontario, quietly crafting songs that capture the wonder of those impossible visions.

Justice
Jennifer Castle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you
This very hour
Where are you?
Peace, my sister
I need you
This very hour
Every day is a trial to walk through
Singing a song by the water blue
Lead with my heart
When it's all I can do
I love you
Justice, my sister
I need you
This very hour
Where are you?
Peace, my sister
I need you
This very hour
Where are you?
The lyrics to Jennifer Castle's song "Justice" convey a sense of longing and desperation for both justice and peace. The repetition of the phrases "Justice, my sister" and "Peace, my sister" emphasizes the singer's desire for these ideals, and the repeated questioning of their whereabouts suggests a sense of frustration and disappointment.
The second stanza, "Every day is a trial to walk through / Singing a song by the water blue / Lead with my heart / When it's all I can do / I love you," adds to the emotional weight of the song. The metaphor of walking through a trial implies hardship and struggle, and the image of singing a song by the water blue suggests an attempt to find solace or escape. The phrase "Lead with my heart / When it's all I can do" indicates a determination to stay true to one's values in difficult circumstances, and the declaration of love adds a personal element to the plea for justice and peace.
Overall, Jennifer Castle's "Justice" is a heartfelt and poignant expression of a universal desire for a more just and peaceful world.
