    LYRICS
    Jami was a good friend
    Back when we were kids and my father got sick
    We would hang out on the weekends
    In her house by the cathedral where all the good people
    Got dressed up on a Sunday
    To go and spill their secrets no matter who the preacher was
    We used to find that funny
    But it’s easy when you’re young not realize that you’re lucky
    When the last of your friends are gone
    You learn a whole lot about hanging on
    But if you crash and nobody sees
    Just remember there will always be
    A room for you in my house in the trees
    Aaron was a good friend
    We were in our twenties, we drove across the country
    Then moved into the canyon
    And he looked after the business the year that I got sick
    Then we went off in different directions
    Kept in touch but it never was the same
    I never got to thank him
    But I wrote it in a letter
    I’m sure I”ll send it someday
    When the last of your friends are gone
    You learn a whole lot about hanging on
    But if you crash and nobody sees
    Just remember there will always be
    A room for you in my house in the trees
    I am a lucky man
    I have been so many places
    When I dream it seems I’m chasing
    A bittersweet memory
    When the last of your friends are gone
    You learn a whole lot about hanging on
    But if you crash and nobody sees
    Just remember there will always be
    A room for you in my house in the trees

    When you reach your mid 30’s this means so much. I sure do miss my high school friends. We still talk, but it no longer has meaning.

    Ever since I first heard this, it’s been my favorite song across the entire Andrew McMahon catalog, and I think I recently figured out why it resonates so much… and it’s because it’s Konstantine for your mid-late-30s. Hear me out.
    Why did Konstantine gain such a following? Because it resonated. Andrew was young. His fans were young. It was relatable, and the lyrics and instrumentation were amazing.
    Now, Andrew and all those same fans are in their mid to late 30s. We’ve all grown, but just like Konstantine captured how we felt in our early 20s, House in the Trees captures how we feel now, as adults, doing our own things, while still reminiscing about growing up.

    i just moved across the country at the age of 30 for my job, away from all my friends and family back home. As supportive and encouraging as they were, it wasn't easy for them. This is my song for them. No matter where life takes us, we'll always have our experiences and memories.

    I was really missing my friends tonight. They all live elsewhere or are married, and I did Thanksgiving alone this year because I recently had covid and didn't want to take a chance, so I was extra lonely. Then this song comes on my Pandora. It helped a lot, actually.

    Out of all the songs he could have sampled, I’d never have expected Konstantine to be one of them.
    But it’s definitely not just sampling, it’s a little more, and that’s where the powerful nostalgia comes from.
    I think I also hear a little of I’m Ready and Holiday from Real mixed in.

      I don’t think the songs sound the same, but I just wrote a comment that I recently realized House in the Trees makes you FEEL the same in your 30s that Konstantine did in your early 20s. Maybe that’s what you’re experiencing?
