From the streets of Halifax, Nova Scotia, to the quiet corners of the heart, Jont’s “No Lines” is a tender, contemplative new single that traces the evolving bond between parent and child – in doing so, it reflects on the deeper truths of human connection. Gentle, meditative, and lyrical, the track unfolds like a poem set to music, a sonnet in motion that is both intimate and universal.
The song was born on a wintry morning, the day of his daughter’s 16th birthday. After a small disagreement in the car, Jont returned home to find lines of poetry spilling from him almost effortlessly:
What is yours and what is mine? I could guess and make a line, wouldn’t mean it’s true. It’s just a line between the two of us.
What began as a sonnet written on an envelope – a three-stanza, concluding couplet echoing back to English class – soon evolved into a song. “I picked up the guitar and it just fell into place fairly effortlessly,” Jont recalls. “Though the song was born as a personal acknowledgement and celebration of my relationship with my daughter, its message is universal – a recognition of our true nature, and a prayer for nurturing harmonious bonds in all human relationships.”
