Back on Track #13 ~ Point of You

I think the liner notes on the digital release of the remixes EP circa 2018 sum most of it up, so to avoid duplication I am citing that below: download ‘Point of You‘ must have been written sometime in 2012, in a practice room in Greece at a time when we already had a few…
