“Mein Freund, der Baum” is a German song by the Austrian singer and songwriter Alexandra. It was released in 1971 and became one of their most famous and successful songs.

The lyrics of “My friend, the tree” express a deep bond and friendship between the singer and a tree. The tree is depicted as a faithful and understanding companion and the texts convey a feeling of comfort and security that can be found in nature.

The song enjoyed great popularity due to its catchy melody and meaningful lyrics. Alexandra’s emotional and soulful performance contributed to the success.

Tragically, Alexandra passed away in 1969 and “My Friend the Tree” was published posthumously and was a tribute to her legacy. The song is still highly regarded in German music history today.
