“Let This Storm Pass” by The Hill, the musical project of Jon Kowit, is a gorgeously spare folk ballad, the kind of personal letter to home written in the midst of life’s turmoil.
Jon Kowit’s own storytelling is intimate and expansive. With a song of soothing melody and ruminative phrasing, “Let This Storm Pass” is the outstretched hand to you, weathering your own storm. Its delivery is gentle and still, and it possesses the quiet strength of someone who has experienced hard times and remains hopeful about the days to come.
“Let This Storm Pass” is a post-storm reminder that storms, both literal and metaphorical are only temporary, and strength finds itself in their wake. As a statement, it suggests The Hill is staking out a terrain defined less by spectacle and more by truth, heart, and timeless folk resonance. Those who eventually seek music that sounds worn and deeply human will find this track oddly soothing, though unforgettable.
