Lyrics
You make no sound
As folks gather ‘round,
Like shadow hounds
Eyes seem unsound
As folks gather 'round
And please you aloud
And I now believe that no one asked
About your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And I now believe that no one thought
You had a lonely past
The pain and strengths so vast
From mellow seas,
To houses on wheels,
To slabs in West lands,
Hand in hand
From yellow bills,
To slabs in West lands,
Like bones in your hands
But I see a tree that's standing high among the shrubs
So only one hand may rest its palm upon my cheeks
The only one that I'll need
To know why no one asked
About your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And I now believe that no one thought
You had a lonely past
And pain to match your vein
When it rains
"Tree Among Shrubs" by Men I Trust is about introspection and hidden personal pain that others might not see. It uses metaphors like "tree among shrubs" to symbolize the struggle to stand out and be understood despite confusion or surroundings. The song explores how past suffering shapes one’s strength and identity, and how this pain and strength are not always recognized by others.
Kinda like "I hope to be around". The song encapsulates what it's like to be on the streets but almost invisible to the general public
my heart melts when Emma smiles into the camera
my heart melts when jesse cries into the camera
I dont know what to make of this sentence.. lol @@horridstank3330
"the pain to match your strength" it's the admiration you have for people you love once you learn how they've overcome struggle that makes this line so resonant
this has been my favourite song for two years, ever since the first time i heard it, during a solo trip to europe. it still is. it evokes a kind of emotion i had never felt before in my life... comfort, warmth, loneliness, all at the same time...
this makes me feel warm cozy and happy, there's something so healing about their music. i love this band so much
Their music is 100% positive vibes
Took the word right out of my mouth
Healing is the word to go!
Yes! Been helping me heal since I found them a year ago
Because of love: The love they've got between each other as friends & the love for the music.
bro wtf this song is crazy good
I love the fact I'm never sure what the lyrics are actually about
so damn true
Thought thats only because my main language is german thought my english is not good enough for most men i trust Songs. But it feels like it dont matter that much
That's very curious, because I feel like I deeply understand and connect with their lyrics very easily. It feels like magic for me to find a band that I feel so touched by
It takes me back every time I listen to it.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Men I Trust
@@MassiveFish-hp4pm thanks for your suggestion
I saw them at the Fort Worth, Austin, and Brooklyn shows and it is so cool and touching to see how they made videos out of their time on the road. Even brought a tear to my eye. Can't wait to see them again.
It reminds me of how grateful it is to be born in 2003 and grew up with Kodak to capture every sweet moment.
I love how only few people know such artists exist. Like its main feature it's indie and is catered to only a class of people who have a good taste in music.
this song will forever hold a special place in my heart.
this song feels like eating and talking with a big group of friends you love, no drama, screens, all love and human connection. so healing and comforting. I feel warmth from this song.
She’s gorgeous
my favorite indie track of all time.. it just sounds right
Missing 2021 . The first time this album out
Words cannot describe how much this song means to me, how much comfort & companionship it brings. Thank you Men I Trust 🥹❤
we need more bands like this... But I also want "Men I Trust" to be the only band like this
Edit:👁👄👁
me too me too
Dude it makes me think on Spotify recommendations. When I listen to this and the album finished, it threw at me other girls who sang in a similar voice but I felt annoyed
@@franciscofuentes8916 Spotify recommendations kind of suck tbh. I found Men I Trust and other great bands through youtube recommendations and I never found anything I like through spotify.
More like this? Try Sam Evian
crumb is somewhat similar, but different enough to be fresh
Eargasm wow
I happened to find this song cause someone shared it on their Instagram story and wow. I am so happy I checked it out. I've been playing it nonstop for hours now and I love it. Makes me feel so calm and happy.
this song makes me feel sad & happy at the same time, why? IDK!. It makes me feel the hug of a mother, the kiss of a lover, & when the sun is over.....
Low key band of the year in my book
you cant be that cute, and dress that grungey, and play in a jazzy dream pop band all at the same time, its just too much, a dream come true e
Your songs are so well-constructed that even the ones that seem not to stick out make you keep coming back to them, until you realize just how smart the songwriting is. This is one from the album that kind of flew by me on first listens, and now I can't stop listening to it. Please come to Istanbul! We've been waiting forever :(
An Istanbul concert would be amazing…
Their songwriting reminds me of ABBA for some reason
Their lyrics sometimes keep me silent & even can’t give a comment to my mind
This is indescribable art ♥️
Simply beautiful
They will always be the band I trust. ❤ Love them.
this song makes me smile ear to ear. it feels like driving on route 12 to the dunes
what the flip where you doin' at the sand dunes?
@@armorykittington indiana dunes national park sir
Fellow regionite here. Love driving the dunes highway.
@@ramm0 sounds peaceful.
Emma's smile warms my heart ❤️

your music is different.... something that represents my feelings along with lyrics that make me speechless.... greetings to you from Indonesia.,...🇮🇩 ☺️

Me encanta la voz de ella, transmite una paz, calma, delicadeza y cariño es como escuchar literalmente a una ángel. En resumen me agrada ojalá saque más temas donde le saque el potencial a su forma de transmitir las cosas aún más 👍

Best female voice i've heard since Nina Persson in The Cardigans. The overall vibe of the band is very similar too which is no bad thing at all !
