"'Feed the Tree'" is a song by American alternative rock band Belly, released as the band's first single from their debut album, 'Star', in 1993. It is the band's biggest hit, reaching number one on the US 'Billboard' Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 32 on the UK Singles Chart. According to lead singer Tanya Donelly, the song is a metaphor about commitment and respect, with the tree being a place on a large farm where a family would be buried.[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=5577 Songfacts.com]
