Formed in early 2005, this Orlando based band has swept the scene with their unforgettable hooks and catchy lyrics. Between The Trees, developed in the west side of Orlando, began with lead vocalist Ryan Kirkland and the brothers, Josh and Jeremy Butler. In the early stages this small trio started writing and performing at small venues in the local Orlando area. Soon after, in Spring 2005, they chose a keyboardist, Wes Anderson, to join them in this venture. Realizing a need for another guitarist, Between The Trees soon sought after Brad Kriebel, a close friend and great musician. After finalizing the line up, this band began to write and collaborate different styles of music.The group has become known for their ability to create a common ground with the fans through their music using life experiences and friendship as their foundation. This is the unique and talented group known as Between The Trees.

I still can't believe your gone.

I would never think in a million years i would have to write this.
At 10:38 on October 19th, 2008 Melissa Sue Fogel was pronounced dead.

At 5:26 Peter texted me telling me the news.
I thought it was a joke and i couldn't believe it.
Words can't even describe how i felt that moment.


You don't even know how i feel.
Most of you think that just because we never met, we never really knew each other.
The first thing she ever said to me was she felt a connection between us.
We were meant to be friends.
You don't have to feel & touch somebody to know they are really your friend.

We went on a few months just talking here and there till we met Mona
We decided we were the 3 pees in a pod.
Now, Two years later yesterday.
We are tighter then ever.
We went through more you can believe.
So many laughs & So many crys.
She was our best friend. We don't care if you don't believe it.


She was one of the sweetest people you would ever meet!
Wise beyond her year like you wouldn't even know.

I miss her already.

Another quick one.

I have been fading away from the church i used to love.
I really feel something isn't right there.
I feel like its not really anything i should be excited for.
After August 31st, I realized why i needed to go.
For a youth leader to tell Three youth they are not welcomed is something that hits my heart.
And it doesn't feel good. I have dealt with what should do for the last few months.
And it came down that maybe i should leave.

After trying out a new church called 'Real Life.'
I felt welcomed, happy and excited about it all.
The pastor is nice, the people are nice and the music is great.
It feels like a church should feel like.

Since i am working at my old church.
I still have to see some of the people there.
One day after work i was tying to figure out why i left, Why i let this bring me down and run me out.
As i am thinking this im at the intersection and i see the youth leader pulling in. I smile and she put on a whitty look and rolled her eyes.

As this is going on Switchfoot's, Faust, Midas & Myself came on.
The lyrics fit right into everything i was seeing.

This is them:


This one's about a dream
I had last night
How an old man tracked me home
And stepped inside
He put his foot inside the door
And gave a crooked smile
Something in his eyes
Something in his laugh
Something in his voice
That made my skin crawl off

He said, "I've seen you here before
I know your name.
You could have your pick
Of pretty things.
You could have it all
Everything at once.
Everything you've seen,
Everything you'll need,
Everything you've ever had in fantasies."

"You've one life,
You've one life.
You've one life left to lead."

I woke up from my dream
As a golden man
With a girl I've never seen
With golden skin
I jumped up to my feet
She asked me what was wrong
I began to scream
I don't think this is me
Is this just a dream
Or really happening?

What direction?
What direction?
I'm splitting up!
I'm splitting up!
This is my personal disaffection

What direction? What direction?
What direction now?

I looked outside the glass
At golden shores
Golden ships and masts
With golden cords
As my reflection passed
I hated what I saw
My golden eyes were dead
And a thought passed through my head
A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all

I wanted to wake up again
Without a touch of gold

What direction?
Death or action!
Life begins at the intersection.

I woke up as before
But the gold was gone
My wife was at the door
With her night robe on
My heart beat once or twice
And life flooded my veins
Everything had changed
My lungs had found their voice
And what was once routine
And what was once routine was now the perfect joy

You've one life
You've one life
One life left to lead

1:11am

Its about 1:11 right now


Its late, yet its the time to think about how everything is going.

I have come to realize how low my friends put me.
and how they make me feel.
and i know a lot of you are thinking its not you. but, you may be the main cause.
Don't bother trying to ask me who I'm talking about.

Thinking back on how many times my friends have stopped and went out of their way to talk to me.
has been 100 to 0. I don't think that Im ever really good enough to talk to you guys.
Most of the time you doing something else.
and Im glad, Im proud that your doing something good for yourself.
Really, it makes me smile. and i love to hear all about it.
But, when something great happens to me. When will I able to have my time to tell you guys.
When you guys don't even care to hear about it.

Half of my thing is that i don't get the time of day, that i give you guys.
I feel Im the only one trying to get this friendship to work.

But, Im not sure your really in it..

Have it all

Friends are fading. Slowly and they don't even know it.
these little things are so big in our eyes.
you don't even know.
people get caught up in that one thing.
a few friend, a boy/girl friend or that one guy/girl they like.
but, you need to realize. If you don't treat your friends right.
They aren't going to stay your friends. but, they will feel like you don't need them anymore. or that they aren't good enough.

A good friend, would stay with you through think and thin.
and we all like to think that. but, the reality of all of that is.
Yeah, good friends should be with you through think and thin. but, you have to be there for them too.
expecting somebody to think your going through something doesn't help either.
If your having problems you need to talk with them about it.
Your friends will be there. If you give the effort, pitty talks don't help.
We want you there 100% with out the excuses.

When I need a friend. I need you there for me too.
I can't make it on my own. If I'm there for you. You should be there for me too.
100%. Thats all I ask of you.




Some days I feel like crying
It don't matter if it's rain or shine
I feel like my heart was broken
At least a million times

Some days I wake up dreaming
Feels like I've never even woke
I answer life's big questions
As if it's one big joke

Maybe it's too soon to be sure
But I really do believe that someday
We're gonna have it all
So I try to hard to keep the rhythm of a train
Rolling right along
When the ride gets rough you got to carry on
Carry on

Days Away

Song: Days Away
Artist: Moses Mayfield
Writer: Matthew Mayfield


I want you to know
I want you to listen
to every word that I say
I want you to fight
for all that I've mentioned
the strain has got me down


this is a huge part of my problem right now with my friends.
I feel they don't listen and they don't support(fight for) me.
Like they don't care.
I'm feeling used. I need to find people that relate to me. people I can hang out with.
With out feeling like they wont listen or don't care.

'I want you to listen to every word that i say'
