from the tops of trees is the stagename of singer/songwriter zak maybaum. "i like this quote from mike kinsella...he said something along the lines of "people think because of my music i'm always sad or angry, but that's not the case. i'm just inspired to write when i get in those moods, and so that's just what my songs reflect...how i feel when i get in those moods, so people only hear about that part of me" i think that that's really good in summing up how i feel about my songs.
