Trees
Lovehammers/Marty Casey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you by my side
And I got it all worked out
In my head here's how it's got to be
It'll be you and me
Up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer
Up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster
We, we make believe
In a world we rule together
We can build our dreams
With a knot tied tight to last forever
It'll be you and me
Up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer
It'll be you and I
Up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
We got one shot
So let's use our imaginations
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
You're all that I got
So where do we go from here
It'll be you and me
Up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer
It'll be you and I
Up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster
I know there's more for us in this life
If we hold on, if we hold strong
I know there's more for us in this life
Can we hold on, can we hold on
The Lovehammers song "Trees" is a romantic and hopeful tune about building a life with someone special. The lyrics suggest a desire for a lifelong partnership with a beloved companion, and that the duo can tackle whatever life throws at them together. The song opens with a declaration that the singer doesn't want to go through life alone, and that he has an idea of how it should be. The answer, according to the poet, lies in the forest and the sky.
The chorus affirms that the ideal life partnership will be between the singer and his significant other, up in the trees or up in the sky. At the same time, he realizes that the magical combination they have is potentially explosive and dangerous. However, the pair can make-believe in a world where they rule together and can build their dreams by tying a knot strong enough to last forever. The chorus repeats this sentiment throughout, highlighting the importance of the partnership and the potential risks, but also the limitless nature of their dreams.
In the final verse, the poet acknowledges that there is more to life for the couple to discover and enjoy together. He encourages the partner to hold on and hold strong, confident that they can navigate whatever comes their way, together. In short, the Lovehammers' song "Trees" is a sweet, idealistic song about love and building a future with someone special while acknowledging the potential risks.

15 year old me was digging this jam...30 year old me just unlocked a memory and had to find it...still know every word...I fell in love with his voice when he sang Queen Britneys song on the show❤❤
@alexandrapollock
This song re-premieres in my brain every so often as it is entirely a core fucking memory. I am glad its not just me!!
@kristingorman5172
Rick star Inxs baby… ❤️
@sabfitz1978
I just rewatched rock star inxs cant believe its 15 years already, loved marty, I actually went on Twitter the other night and posted about watching again, marty followed me, I'm over the moon x
@deecee5996
me too ive watched it especially the best part of JD and Marty.. the mansion, the competition..
@ninja_tony
This makes me so happy to see I'm not the only one still thinking about the show and some of it's best singers. I feel like the show was mostly forgotten, especially since after the two seasons it had, they never could figure out how to keep it going (and the second season wasn't even half as good as the first). Hearing this again now for the first time in almost 15 years reminds me of how pissed my mom was when Marty didn't win. JD was awesome too, but Marty was so talented, and would have been a better fit for INXS for sure.

Back in high school I watched Marty sing this on RockStar INXS and immediately went to LimeWire and downloaded the song...Everytime the bell would ring to end class I would put an earbud in and listen to as much of this song as possible before my next class started...I just found this song for the first time since then...such a DAMN good song still!

@MrBrightSide77
It's been what 16-17 years and i still love this song. Marty was my favourite throughout that competition. His version of Wish you were here is still my favourite.
@luisconleche72
I remember him from that competition as well. He covered this one live with Dave Navarro, I believe.
