The last song on First Day Of Spring's new EP "Old World." It is both friendly and helpful. The song captures the feeling of rediscovery and pays tribute to the small things that people often overlook when they are alone during the COVID-19 pandemic. People feel good as the EP comes to an end because the bright energy has been intentionally chosen.
The song is all about the words by Samuel Jones. They expertly blend feelings of hope and memories. Jones and his quintet, which originated in Southend-on-Sea, a town on the Thames estuary, and is now well-known in London, subtly examine memory and place. One interesting aspect of the track is that it mentions a granite obelisk from 1836 or 1837, which marks the eastern edge of the City of London's control over the River Thames. It is a subtle but stabilising historical reference that connects individual thought to a broader perspective of space and time.
"Old World" makes you want to dance, and the lyrics make you think. The song's happy tone conveys the joy of reflecting on the small things that bring happiness. It's a quiet reminder of how strong and fresh we can be. The band clearly gets along well, and their sound is both familiar and fresh, with plenty of room to grow.
"Old World" is the final song on the EP, offering listeners a sense of hope and gratitude that transforms what could have been a somber reflection into a celebration. This song is a great way to conclude the album, as it showcases the artist's transformation both as a person and a musician. It makes fans pause, take a breath, and view the world in a different light.
