Jonah Corren revisits his West Dorset childhood bedroom and pens the thoughtful new single ‘Langdon’. The song is not a nostalgic look back so much as it is a meditation on the changes in perspective brought on by adulthood. Simple percussion drives the tune forward as a fiddle interweaves with the melody. Corren’s vocal performance is both poignant and playful.
Reflecting on the creation of the song after a walk around Langdon Hill with a view of the Jurassic Coast Corren says, “‘It’s funny going back to places after a long time, especially in nature; they change so little, but can seem so different. I think how you respond is a good barometer for how, and how much, you have changed as a person.”
