"The Trees" is a song by progressive rock band Rush from their 1978 album "Hemispheres".

Neil Peart has remarked that the inspiration for penning the song simply came from a humorous comic strip he read which depicted trees arguing like people. [Is there a message in "The Trees"? [http://www.nimitz.net/rush/faq2ans.html#70 Rush FAQ] Accessed January 15 2008]

The song is featured on many of Rush's compilation albums and has been a perennial fan favorite of Rush's live shows. On the live album Exit...Stage Left, the short instrumental Broon's Bane is performed as a short introduction to this song.

In other media

The song is featured in an episode of "King of the Hill" titled, "The Witches of East Arlen." In this episode, Bobby Hill acquires tarot cards and joins a coven of warlocks.

A vault edition of "The Trees" is a playable song in "Rock Band 2". [ [http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63006 ***Official Rock Band 2 Set List! - Rock Band - Forums ] ]
