A Warm Single Release from KOONTZ
One of the latest singles from Koontz delivers a lot of honesty and descriptive storytelling so that you can really picture certain things in your head as the track unfolds. This is a beautiful approach to a song that comes through with so much warmth, and the sentiment of it all hits home by the end of the song.
"The Point" is a track about trying to find love. A song about relationships, struggles, giving up on love, seeing some light at the end of the tunnel, and having a certain spot that you can call home at the end of the day no matter what happens.
At least, that's how I took it. The lyrics are so descriptive, and they're only semi-metaphorical, so you really can get a grasp on the emotional backbone behind it, and the fact that it's coming from someplace completely authentic.
One of the things I love most about this track is how personal it is. The way the artist lets so much of that inner thought spill out everywhere.
The beauty of a song like this is that it's about perspective. Yes, it's completely relatable and understandable. The sentiment of 'am I going to find someone or sail through this life alone', as it says in the song, is one we've all felt at least once or twice in our lives.
Some of us have had that feeling for quite a long time.
This is a track about someone who's trying, and no matter what happens, he always has that place. The Point.
This Place won't let him down.
The song is gorgeous and has such wonderful instrumentation, giving it not only that warmth but Southern undertones, Americana and Country hints throughout the soundscape, a folk influence, and some classic rock as well.
The guitar work is outstanding throughout this track, but there are also these organs that fill the space and give it a thickness and atmosphere that you fall right into.
You can hear that emotional drive in the music as much as you can in the vocals.
Those vocals are performed with passion and some heart. You can tell again, this came from some real place, and writing a song like this may have been cathartic for Koontz in the end game.
Sometimes, for artists, this is the only way that they know how to let all of that out.
For people who are listening to the song, it can be insanely relatable, so they may not feel alone in the struggles that the song is about.
Just to feel like they're not the only one going through a certain situation at the time is important.
It lets us remember that we're human and we have all kinds of thoughts and situations that we battle with constantly.
Some of us do have a place like The Point, a place where we can trust and be ourselves. A place we are familiar with and that comfortable environment is something that lets us be more free.
Those guitar tones are perfect. There's this perfect level of twang that gives the tones of the instrument an almost vintage underbelly, and this works amazingly for the aesthetic of the track.
Gorgeous progressions and, again, that powerful and soulful vocal that displays the emotional drive behind it all.
Now, once again, this could just be the way I'm perceiving it. It could actually be a song about finding love and how The Point was the place it all started.
It can be perceived differently depending on who is listening.
It's okay to have different perspectives on a song like this as long as it has meaning to you.
I love the classic and vintage influences that are strewn throughout the song and how he's able to take that particular aesthetic and make it feel so incredibly authentic
.
This is a song that sticks with you for hours after it's ended, and some of it just bounces around in your brain for so long that you have to listen to it again just to satiate that.
This song had an effect on me, for sure. I suggest listening to this one right now and seeing how it affects you as well.
