In Their Own Words – The Stories Behind the Songs on Town Beyond The Trees

LONG HARD ROAD – A song about reassurance, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Many of The Storys' songs are based on kernels of personal truth. This is about reaching out to someone in their hour of need.

YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP – A grown up pop song. It's about a family unit breaking down; going through trial separation and coming home one day to find someone else has moved in. An example of an uplifting melody, with a dark soul-searching lyric.

EVANGELINA – is a girl who's trying to be righteous and true, who has not been in the past. Someone comes into her life and turns her whole world around in seven days. Supposedly the world was created in seven days, but hers was destroyed.

ALONE – is about the search for true love and finding that special person who makes you realise it's a lonely life without love.

IT'S ALL WE REALLY NEED – is about someone leaving home with a dream of making something of themselves in the world, but quickly finds that they've not even come close. Sometimes it's easier not to come back than to come home and admit defeat.

NOBODY LOVES YOU – is about an affair. It can be read as both romantic and sinister, with the line 'nobody loves you – like me', having obsessive overtones. Much in the same way as 'Every Breath You Take' on the surface is a love song, but hides a darker subtext.

TOWN BEYOND THE TREES – this was actually written before the first album. It's a live favourite, more sprawling, very organic and based on a true story about a guy on death row writing a letter to his unborn son. It's a very effecting story, some of the band have recently become fathers and there's no rule book when you become a dad.

HEAVEN HOLDS YOU NOW – sometimes we let people down, but this song is about hope and holding onto your dreams and realising we are all in the same boat. It also talks of the loss of someone close and how we deal with it.

FEELING SOMETHING – when the first stages of love hit and someone becomes a part of you, the question arises 'are they feeling the same way'. As you fall deeper it is important you know, as you commit your life to them. It is a simple song about falling in love.

TROUBLE DEEP – is about somebody who is in a cycle of making the same mistakes over and over again but always running away from them rather than facing them. Rosalie Deighton sings the harmony vocal. She toured with us last year, and we fell in love with her voice. Steve did the harmony originally, but as soon as Rosalie put her voice down, the hairs collectively stood up at the back of our necks. She adds something very special to the song – almost ghost-like and ethereal.
