Avalanche City

Avalanche City are a New Zealand folk music band from Auckland. The group was originally a solo project of Dave Baxter; however, after he released his first album Our New Life Above The Ground he assembled a group of musicians, namely Ben Duncan on drums; Johnny Brock on bass; Ben Tolich on keyboards and manjo; Strahan Cole on electric guitar, banjo, ukulele and backing vocals and Romelli Rodriguez on violin, glockenspiel, piano accordion and percussion. Baxter completed his album, and then made it available for free download on the internet. He was expecting only a few hundred copies to be downloaded, but after more than 10,000 downloads he took it offline, and began to market it. more »

I could see the rain clouds over
The grey chased away the colours
Its hailing and storming all on the citizens
Leaving them running for their umbrellas

Hold on, hold on
She said to me,
It won't be long, wont be long
'till we all will see
The colours will return to their owners
And citizens emerge from the covers

I could see the fear take over
Hearts hardened to the sound of closeness
Its aching and pounding all on the citizens
Leaving them wishing they had a lover

Hold on, hold on
She said to me,
It wont be long, wont be long
'till we all will see
The lovers will emerge from their silence
And citizens return from the covers

And the lights on the streets go dark
But all the heaviness is in my heart
The colours on the leaves are grey
But i hold heaven in my heart today

The rainclouds begin to pour
And the greyness defeats us all
And i know she said its ok
But i'll take anything she will say
