"A Thousand Trees" is the fourth single from the rock band Stereophonics. The song is taken from their debut album, "Word Gets Around" and was released in August 1997. It reached #22 on the UK Singles chart.

The catchy, anthemic opener is about a respected high school athletic coach who ruined his career through a lurid sexual encounter with a female student. [ [http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,309246,00.html Artistdirect.com] ]
