Nova Scotia via London singer-songwriter Jont shares his stirring new single “All Become One”—an intimate indie anthem about collective healing, unity, and the power of love over fear.

The song initially started coming through during a moment of emotional release in Lockdown. 

Jont recalls: “I remember doing some yoga on my own at home listening to East Forest, enjoying that feeling his music brings on. I just started singing. I turned off the music and picked up my guitar… The first lines, ‘I just wanna lie down with you’ came out. Like it is now, it was a messed up time. It was impossible to know what was true and what was lies. And again like now, there was pressure on people not to say certain things. Just naming what was going on in the world felt challenging. It felt like many people weren’t wanting to do that. When the lines ‘We’re going down, we’re going down’ came, I didn’t know what the song was going to be about… But I thought, ‘Ah well, here we go…’”

However, the song didn’t get finished then. Jont had to wait another year until he was travelling the world as a troubadour again for the key lines to come through that for him sum up the nature of what we are going through right now:

“Now’s the time for us to let ‘em go / all these shadows that are eating us / bring ‘em out into the light I’m sure / mine’ll be just like yours / Now’s the time for us to let it through / this purest love into the physical / face the fears of generations and all become one”

“When these words came through,” says Jont, “it finally felt like the song was complete. I was really trying to capture the feeling of what was and is going on on the planet right now, this beautiful shift and change that is happening. I was trying to get it across in as simple and plain a language as I could but it’s quite difficult as we are living in pretty cosmic times.”

The great songs always arrive at the perfect moment. “All Become One” seems uncannily perfect for the moment the world is going through. While each day we live through different shades of chaos, there is a comfort and a confidence in the melodic structure and simple rock arrangement, and in the tone of its uplifting message, that climaxes in frenzied euphoria.

“This song is being sung by many of us in different ways, because it is the song of our time,” explains Jont. “This is the eternal news, that you are me and I am you. This song is an anthem to the breaking down of division, and a coming out of fear of the other.”

The recording has a raw and spontaneous feel. It was the very first song that Jont and his band, The Fish, recorded in the studio.

“The climax at the end where I sing the high note of ‘all become one’ twice – that was just an ad lib that came out because the song was wanting to come through,” Jont states. “So there’s a magic to the recording, a spontaneity and a life.” 

Musically, the track is a melodic indie rock tune, but lyrically, it digs deep—like a cosmic folk song wrapped in a singable chorus.
