ALTERNATIVE PRESS가 특필한 플로리다 올랜도 출신의 5인조 인디록 밴드 BETWEEN THE TREES의 메이저 데뷰앨범 [THE STORY AND THE SONG]!!! 기타와 보컬을 맡고 있는 RYAN KIRKLAND와 드럼과 베이스를 맡고 있는 JOSH, JEREMY형제를 중심으로한 같은 학교 급우들 끼리 만든 그룹으로 다이나믹한 연주로 정평이 나있는 INCUBUS에 많은 영향을 받았다. 2006년 첫앨범 [THE STORY AND THE SONG]를 위해 하드코어록밴드에서 기타를 쳤던 BRAD KRIEBEL를 영입하여 지금의 형태를 갖추게 되었다. 이들과 계약한 유니버셜 모타운은 이들의 적극적인 홍보를 위해 싱글 "THE WAY SHE FEELS"의 뮤직비디오를 제작했으며 바로 아이튠즈 뮤직스토아를 통해 릴리즈를 시작! 컬리지 얼터너티브 록 스타일의 "THE WAY SHE FEELS"와 키보디스트 WES ANDERSON의 서정적인 연주로 시작되는 "WHITE LINES & RED LIGHTS"로 인기를 얻고 있다. 이외에도 이모록 흐름을 잘 받아드린 "WORDS"와 러브 모던록송 "DARLIN'"등이 주목할 만한 곡이다. .... ....
Shes upset Bad day Heads for the dresser drawer to Drive her pain away Nothing good can come of this. She opens it theres nothing there Is only left over tears Mom and dad had no right she screams As the anger runs down both of her cheeks.
Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries
All alone the way she feels Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief Bite the lip just forget the bleeding
Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries [x2]
Curled up shes on the floor Relief left her she had hoped for something more
From it (hoped for something more) From it He leans down to comfort her She is weeping and He Wraps His arms around And around and around and... The deeper you cut The deeper I hurt The deeper you cut It only gets worse [x2] Gets worse.
Now shes slowly opening... [x2] New eyes...
She opened her eyes And found relief through His life And put down her knives.
Then she opened her life And found relief through His eyes And put down She put down her life.
This night, this night just like the rest These same thoughts running through my head The same reckless phrase with a different face They say, they say that I am worthless But I'm not listening I swear, and yet Round round they spin like a record now Same false hopes built to be broke down Around and around I'm falling down, again
Sticks and stones May break my bones Your words they surely kill They surely kill
This feels the same Complications in different situations I am holding out for love Is it worth it To die a little each day All for unseen grace
Sticks and stones May break my bones
Your words they surely kill (meant to be broke down) Surely kill Your words are breaking down now
I would say Where I've been to where I am It is worth it His grace When all else fades You can see it His face So now...
Round round they spin like a record now Same false hopes meant to be broke
These thoughts were meant to be broke down [x11]
Sticks and stones May break my bones Your words they surely kill They surely kill They surely kill Your words are breaking down now
As she sits in the corner face to the floor she dispels smoke from from her lips and slowly floats away with it letting go of so much pain her tears are thick enough to stain the pavement that slowly becomes her best friend when she needs to run away
This is your time to weep This is your time to morn Not yet time to build up Just a time to tear down old walls
Does it help to say I'm sorry If so than I'm sorry that your so unhappy This life those lies are starting get you down Darling don't let them drag you around Saying "it's my fault" doesn't help repeated Time love and Jesus seems to beat it She'll find out this is harder than Taking medicine
We're still waiting for the fire Seeing smoke and waiting for the fire
She opens up my bedroom door She's waking me up soon I'm turning on the light, she warns Its the little things that you do She's the one that starts my day, my day
I'll call her my friend forever, wether its right or wrong She is also my (laughter?) my shoulder to cry on My mom is my super hero, my mom is my world
All out of gas, no place to go And she knows just what I'll say She turns and laughs and opens up Her purse to give enough for the week She didn't have to give but she did Its just the kind of woman she is
My mom is my super hero My mom is my world
Love is an action that she shows me all day Even when its not in her he says, Blessed with the mama (?) after her children It doesn't get much better than this
The tide rolled in not a breath in sight And this town went down like the moon at night These poor rooftops only go so high The volume of our bodies is causing the waters to rise
Why do we cry out only when things go wrong? How would you feel if I only sang sad songs?
The gavel slams the verdict is in And the jury find you guilty for the things that you did You're scared for your life, so you turn to the man The man that holds your life in the palm of his hands. And your heart starts racing like a bullet from the gun And you can feel it in your chest, it's affecting your lungs This breath that you're taking's getting harder to take Why did it take so long to wake up?
Why do we cry out only when things go wrong? How would you feel if I only sang sad songs?
Until now You have been facing Everything on your own Up till tonight
Wake up and remember Where you came from To get through tonight
Why do we cry out only when things go wrong? How would you feel if I only sang sad songs?
Until now You have been facing Everything on your own Up till tonight
Wake up and remember Where you came from To get through tonight
If we had one opportunity, one chance just a chance to go and find ourselves (like when we were young, when we were) Best friends running through the woods and we were acting like we're lost just to get away for The weekend (just to get away) from the city
We could spend tonight looking back Or we could try to find all this time spent on barely knowing who we are A child? like us, is all we need
So here's our chance, our chance to make the change to become the type of people that we've Always wanted to be (we're not living by what anybody says, only living by what we've known since we) We were, we were best friends
And we knew how to get away for the weekend
We could spend tonight looking back Or we could try to find all this time spent on barely knowing who we are A child, like this, is all we need
I found myself in the forest (in the forest) I found love in the forest We just need time to try and find ourselves again Or just time to breathe
We think we need so many useless things When all we really need is time to breathe [X2]
