Six months after taking the first steps towards singing, Dave Baxter played his first solo show as Avalanche City. Six months after the first show, one year after beginning the process of teaching himself how to sing, the first tracks were laid for Avalanche City's debut album Our New Life Above The Ground.

Armed with a sack full of vegetarian single serve curries Dave Baxter headed into the countryside and moved into a little community hall called the Kourawhero Hall, just north of Auckland. There he spent the week alone recording and playing everything himself with only the cows and the milk trucks as company.

The album was available free to download for four months. After 11,000 downloads and a brand new EP just released it has come time to stop the download and sell the album with the EP Snow as a deluxe 2 disc package. You can buy it online at www.avalanchecity.com or in store.

Everybody Knows
Avalanche City Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh we can hear you heart so loud
Now everybody knows that you're in love
Hoping all the prayers you said too much of
Find a way to move their heart to love
Oh and it's a dream that all you ever know
Will this finally be a love thats true!

Overall Meaning

The song Everybody Knows by Avalanche City talks about an individual who is in love, and it's evident from the loudness of their heart. The person's hope is that all the prayers they have made in the past will finally come to fruition, and they will find someone who reciprocates their love genuinely. The lyrics suggest a sense of longing and uncertainty in the individual's mind. They wonder if the love they have been dreaming of will come true and if the person they are in love with feels the same way.

The song's lyrics explore the basic human desire to connect with someone, and the uncertainty that comes with it. The person is hoping for the best and is optimistic that their love will be reciprocal. However, they cannot be sure, which adds to the anxiety they may be feeling. The lyrics' tone is melancholic and introspective, and the music's melody reinforces these emotions.
