Backstory:
Delectable Tree was formed in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, in 2012. The band’s nucleus, Jenny and Bill Thompson, are siblings who found comfort and solace in music from a young age. Orphaned as teenagers, their music was a way to express their feelings and emotions that words couldn’t capture. They started performing at local bars and soon their soulful tunes caught the attention of the crowd. They were joined by long-time friends, bassist Tim Porter and drummer Rachel Watkins. The name ‘Delectable Tree’ was chosen as a nod to the siblings’ favorite childhood hiding spot, a large apple tree where they used to share stories and dreams, their place of escape.

“Beneath the Apple Sky”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Underneath the summer sky, [G] I see your loving eyes
[Am] Remember our lives, [F] beneath the apple sky.
[C] You held my hand, told me a plan, [G] drew dreams in the sand
[Am] And we felt so grand, [F] beneath our apple sky.
(Chorus)
[C] Beneath the apple sky, [G] we learned to fly
[Am] Our dreams so high, [F] still we never did lie.
[C] The world was our stage, [G] and in every age
[Am] We’d turn the page, [F] under our apple sky.
(Verse 2)
[C] We laughed, we cried, we [G] even tried to hide
[Am] From troubles wide, [F] beneath the apple sky.
[C] But come rain or shine, [G] your hand in mine
[Am] We’d always find, [F] love beneath the apple sky.
(Chorus)
[C] Beneath the apple sky, [G] we learned to fly
[Am] Our dreams so high, [F] still we never did lie.
[C] The world was our stage, [G] and in every age
[Am] We’d turn the page, [F] under our apple sky.
(Outro)
[C] So here’s to you, and [G] here’s to me
[Am] And all that we could [F] ever be
[C] Beneath the apple sky, [G] we learned how to fly
[Am] And I’ll love you till I die, [F] under our apple sky.
