J. Killen finds meaning through reflection on "Oak Tree"

J. Killen’s "Oak Tree" is a big country ballad driven by grief, reflection, and acceptance. It was written while losing both his grandmother and a friend, so it feels very personal and like the kind of life-changing thoughts that come out in difficult times. The production allows the emotions to resonate. "Oak Tree" steers away from the focus on loss and instead offers a kind and graceful look at mortality, making it an emotional and memorable listen.
