The Story and the Song is the first album from Orlando-based rock band Between the Trees and debuted on September 19, 2006. The band dedicated "A Time For Yohe" and "The Way She Feels" to Renee Yohe, a recovered addict who inspired the creation of To Write Love on Her Arms.
In conjunction with David McKenna of Bonded Records, the September 18, 2006 album release proved tremendously successful. A subsequent distribution contract with Universal Fontana further increased the album's popularity.
