El Gospel es un género musical que se originó en la comunidad afroamericana de los Estados Unidos como una expresión de la fe cristiana. Caracterizado por coros, armonías vocales y letras con contenido religioso, el Gospel transmite mensajes de esperanza, amor, paz y redención. Si bien sus raíces se encuentran en la música espiritual y los himnos de las iglesias afroamericanas, el Gospel ha evolucionado con el tiempo, incluyendo diversos estilos como el Gospel tradicional, el Gospel contemporáneo y el Gospel urbano. Artistas icónicos como Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin y Kirk Franklin han sido líderes en el mundo del Gospel, influenciando a una amplia gama de músicos en otros géneros. Además de su importancia musical, el Gospel ha sido una herramienta de resistencia y unificador de comunidades en tiempos de opresión racial. Su legado perdura como una poderosa expresión cultural y espiritual.
Between the Trees se formó en Orlando, Florida a principios del año 2005. El 19 de Septiembre de 2006 realizaron su primer album "The Story and the Song", bajo la productora independiente Bonded Records.
El grupo ha estado envuelto con "To Write Love on Her Arms", una organizacion que presta apoyo a personas con comportamientos depresivos, suicidas o adicctos. Dos canciones de su primer album hacen referencia a dicha organizacion y a los problemas que espera resolver.
Between the Trees empezó con el vocalista Ryan Kirkland y los hermanos Josh y Jeremy Butler. Al principio, el pequeño trio empezó como banda telonera. Poco despues, en primavera del 2005 eligieron a un teclista, Wer Anderson, para que se les uniese en su aventura. Tras la necesidad de otro guitarrista, Between the Trees pronto recluto a Brad Kriebel, un amigo cercano para cerrar el grupo.
El 27 de Mayo, su primer single, "The Way She Feels", llego al numero uno en las radios estadounidenses.

I was in love, or at least, I thought I was
I had that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach where
My fingers started tingling
Everytime we kissed
But the problem wasnt kissing
It was that it happened much to often
Neither of us, woooah, nooo, the best was the painful part
And this broke my heart, but the pain had to heal
And I had to get back up if she was for real
I kno she's worth the fuss
This is the story of a boy who fell in love
This is the story of a boy who grows up
This is the story of a boy who fell in love
And the man he becomes
Which led me to a life of love and never in-loveable
Outwardly affection was the only connection I could make
With those I'd used
But I gotta take this heart and make it change for the
Better by letting go of her I'm moving on
Darling look out below cause theres alot to let go
But the pain had to heal and I had to get back up
Cause if she was for real, I know she's worth the fuss
This is the story of a boy who fell in love
This is the story of a boy who grows up
This is the story of a boy who fell in love
This is the story of a boy who grows up
She tells me I'm her only one and loves
The man that I've become despite the boy I was
And all at once this tip toward love is bigger
Then the both of us and greater then lifes greatest rush
This is the story of a boy who fell in love
This is the story of a boy who grows up
This is the story of a boy who fell in love
And the man he becomes
Whooooo
This is the story of a boy who fell in love
This is the story of the man he becomes
