From a beach hut in Thailand to the wooded trails of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, “Walk Right Through” is Jont’s latest transmission from the deeper currents of human experience—a contemplative, harmony-soaked track that feels both ancient and modern, gentle and unflinching.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever had a song emerge quite like ‘Walk Right Through,’” Jont reflects. “First it was just two chords, over and over—this hypnotic loop in my beach hut when I first arrived in Thailand. The phrase ‘And then you hear your song, the one you’ve always known’ came alongside it, and that was all I received for weeks.”
For most of that winter, the track lived as a fragment. But near the end of Jont’s stay, something shifted. “I brought my focus to the song,” he says. “Started feeling into a chord sequence, then into what the most organic, relaxed melody might be. I’ve never listened to a song with that degree of reverence and surety—that there was a full song on the other side, just waiting to come through if I paid the right kind of attention.”
What arrived was more than just a song—it was a narrative wrapped in archetype and poetry.
“A story of a son and a father, of a truth so radical it’s banned by society, of the desire to sing that truth despite everything,” he explains. “It’s a photographic story if you want to see it. But more than that, it’s a felt experience—melodic, harmonic, trance-like. The lyrics are there, but the real message is in the feeling.”
At the heart of the track lies a chorus that offers a kind of spiritual reassurance:
“Nothing’s ever gonna get you / nothing’s ever gonna blow you out / no-one loves you like I love you / you’re the me that is all around.”
“I have goosebumps as I type these words,” Jont admits. “Perhaps I’ve never felt prouder of a song than this one. Or maybe I mean grateful.”
“Walk Right Through” lands as a personal and artistic high point—not only for its musicality, but for the clarity with which it affirms Jont’s role in this world.
“We are the ones who bring the songs,” he says. “Thousands that may disappear without trace. But one or two get through. One or two, 50, 60, 80 years later, will still be alive in people’s hearts. We do this for those who are not here yet.”
