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.
Goodnight
Avalanche City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
These lyrics from Avalanche City's song "Goodnight" depict a longing for a place of beauty, happiness and comfort. The singer yearns to be taken away from their current reality to a place where the grass is green, possibly symbolizing life, growth, and hope. The line "And the girls are pretty" may represent a desire for companionship, and/or a commentary on the societal pressure to adhere to certain standards of beauty when it comes to dating or socializing.
The choice of the name "Avalanche City" may also be significant in the context of these lyrics. An avalanche represents a powerful force that can both destroy and reshape the landscape. This could reflect a desire for a transformative experience in life, or a need for a fresh start. The use of this metaphor adds depth to the lyrics and reinforces the theme of searching for a better place or a brighter future.

Take me down to Avalanche City
Bring me to the place where Avalanche City is located
Where the grass is green
The environment is full of lush greenery
And the girls are pretty
The women in this city are attractive and charming
