Upbeat rock tune. Kindof an Irish Durge with acoustic guitars and rockin drums.

Story behind the song
Theres a radio station in Vermont called "The Point". It dawned on me that it was a great name for a song. So manly people don't get the "The Point" in life until it's too late. I recorded it over a weekend in March 2002. First time I used my new (old) bass (Washburn B-2 Fretless circa 1984)and J-Station guitar processor. I experimented with layering vocals as well. It's all done on Cool Edit Pro with less than $2000 studio equiment :^p
Lyrics
Everybody's looking for a way to fill the hole
Between the things they think they have to have
And the longing of their soul
The more we lose direction the harder to define
What comes from the heart or
From the deceptions of the mind.
But for all a time will come when the truth will show it's face.
It's not something you can purchase
Nor win within a race
For some it will bring comfort while others will cry tears
For all the lost priorities
For all the wasted years
It may hit you while your standing or when 6 feet underground
Somtimes as loud as thunder
Sometimes without a sound
You can run from it your whole life, but not far or fast enough
Because in your life or death it will find you....
You'll get the point.
And when your years are 4 times 20 And youve everything but health
Your life's n empty mansion,
you're abandonded by your wealth
This is the time that you will see it theres no turning a blind eye
It's not too late to change it
It will free you when you die.
It may hit you while your standing or when 6 feet underground
Somtimes as loud as thunder
Sometimes without a sound
You can run from it your whole life, but never far or fast enough
Because in your life or death it always finds you....
You'll get the point.
