In ‘Old World’, London-based quintet First Day Of Spring crafts a shimmering ode to life’s simple pleasures, once taken for granted and now cherished anew.
This track, closing out their latest EP, serves as a musical crowstone – a marker of time and place that, like its granite counterpart on the Thames, stands as a reminder of home and history. Frontman Samuel Jones weaves a narrative that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant, his lyrics painting vivid pictures of post-lockdown freedom against a backdrop of jangly guitars and buoyant rhythms.
The song’s strength lies in its ability to transform nostalgia into hope, turning memories of confinement into a celebration of reconnection. As the band’s sound expands from its Southend-on-Sea roots, so too does the scope of their storytelling. ‘Old World‘ isn’t just a reflection on the past; it’s a jubilant leap into a future where gatherings on the beach are once again possible. With this release, First Day Of Spring proves they’re more than just another indie outfit – they’re chroniclers of a pivotal moment in our shared history, offering a soundtrack for the collective sigh of relief as we step back into the world.
