Jont’s “Walk Right Through” is a Reverent and Soul-Rich Meditation on Truth, Legacy, and the Songs That Carry Us Home
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.
The inspiration that Jont experienced during his time in Thailand 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.”
The accompanying video was filmed by acclaimed director Simon Ratigan, Jont’s longest-standing creative collaborator.
They filmed for two days on Jont’s home island of Cape Breton, capturing footage across deeply significant places: Sacred Acre, the Woodland Trail at Gampo Abbey, and the quiet expanse of Jont’s local beach.
“Our final shot was on a long, empty road as the moon rose,” Jont recalls. “We knew we had what we needed.”
“Walk Right Through” is more than a song – it’s a hushed benediction, a sonic pilgrimage, and a profound call to hold fast to what’s real. It’s a testament to what can still be made when the world is loud, fractured, and full of distraction: something simple, deep, and true.
