The Point! is a fable by American songwriter and musician Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. There have been at least three adaptations of The Point!: an animated film, an album, and a musical play, each featuring songs written by Nilsson to accompany the story. The album is Nilsson's sixth.
Nilsson said of his inspiration for The Point: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it."
The round-headed Oblio has had to wear a pointed hat since birth to conceal his "pointless" condition from his pointy-headed peers. However, Oblio is accepted in the town despite his nonconformity until one day when the son of an evil count is unwittingly dishonored by Oblio. The count's son challenges Oblio to a one-on-one game of Triangle Toss where participants catch triangles on their heads. Oblio wins with the help of his dog Arrow. In a fit of rage, the count, who wants his son to rule the land one day, confronts the good-hearted but timid king to reaffirm the law of the land, which states that those who are pointless must be banished from the kingdom and into the Pointless Forest. A jury reluctantly convicts both Oblio and Arrow leaving the king has no choice but to send the pair away.
Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994), usually credited as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. He is known for the charting singles "Everybody's Talkin'" (1969), "Without You" (1971), and "Coconut" (1972). Nilsson also wrote the song "One" (1968), made famous by the rock band Three Dog Night. A tenor with a three-and-a-half octave range, Nilsson was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours. His work is characterized by pioneering overdub experiments, returns to the Great American Songbook, and fusions of Caribbean sounds.
He received Grammy Awards for two of his recordings; Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male in 1970 for "Everybody's Talkin'", a prominent song in the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy, and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male in 1973 for "Without You". In 2015, he was voted No. 62 in Rolling Stone's list of "The 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time".

Plot: An animated story of an unusual kingdom in which everything and everybody is pointed - except for a young boy named Oblio. Despite his round head, Oblio has many friends. But an evil count, jealous that Oblio is more popular than his own son, says that without a pointed head, Oblio is an outlaw. Along with his faithful dog Arrow, Oblio is exiled to the Pointless Forest. There, he has many fantastic experiences (including encounters with a 3-headed man, giant bees, a tree in the leaf-selling business, and a good-humored old rock). From his adventures, Oblio learns that it is not at all necessary to be pointed to have a point in life. Music composed and performed by Harry Nilsson ("Me and My Arrow"), who also wrote the story.

Io per te non cerco sospetto e non faccio mistero nulla di ciò perché sono mosca stupita dal gelo stupita dal gelo stupita dal gelo stupita dal gelo Io per te volteggio sbiadita le spire più rare seguile è un ballo ubriaco che non può durare prendimi ora prendimi al volo E' tempo di ridestare, lascive, spettare se giuda si muove conviene aspettare negli anni lo smalto lo svaporare Devi approfittare di un evento speciale le cose sono pronte a cambiare Devi approfittare di un evento speciale se cessa, fare in fretta, cambiare In oblio, le forze si imbevono di paludosa fragilità forse è giunto il tempo di accorgersi che c'è bisogno di rapidità In oblio, le forze si imbevono di paludosa fragilità forse è giunto il tempo di accorgersi che c'è bisogno di rapidità In oblio, le forze si ...
Gli oblio, formati da Angelo (basso), Arianna e Peppe (chitarre), Andrea (voce), Simone (batteria), nascono nell'aprile del 2016 con lo scopo di stravolgere brani del rock classico e non, col fine di farli propri fondendo generi e stili vari. Burn the ash parla dell'impossibilità di poter constatare la fine di qualcosa. La particolarità di questa canzone consiste, proprio, nella bivalenza antitetica tra il sound (influenzato dalla cultura rock, funk, reggae) e l'ontologia pessimistica del testo.

Hey there Mr. Kipling
Exceedingly good cakes?
You're a dealer in death
Your cost image is a fake
MR. KIPLING - DEATH DEALER!
MR. KIPLING - LIFE STEALER!
We ask you this question
How many creatures must die
To provide the animal fat
For your apple pie?
In the slaughterhouse
The cattle scream and bleed
Animals condemneded to death
By the corporate greed
That fuels war and exploitation
And steals the earth from all of us
But now your rotting facade is crumbling
