Poinsettia came about in a rather unusual way. In fact, the song itself was written in just fifteen minutes. How is that possible you may ask? Because there was really only one goal for the song. That was to write a heartwarming and playful song about America's most cherished holiday flower, the poinsettia. There was no attempt to create this song for fortune, fame or anything else for that matter. This song was written solely from the heart. A continuous acoustic guitar track carries the melody of the song throughout the entire three minutes, as orchestral strings ring in the background. Ambient and harmonic "ooo's" fill the empty space while the clear and cut vocals resonate as the focal song feature. As for the movie-like guitar solo commanding the bridge of the song, the talents of Max Macort shine through highlighting his captivating, unique and refined style which he used to cultivate the perfect solo. The product of months of planning, recording, mixing and mastering, Poinsettia demonstrates what it really takes for an indie artist to make a distinguishable mark on the music world.
