So I'm writing this as two things are going on: 1. My soul mate is watching So You Think You Can Dance, and 2. Nacho is telling me to listen to more Simon and Garfunkel. I think this is a completely appropriate time to talk about the lyrics to the opening track (kinda) on our newest album.

Avalanche is a song for dudes. I say that because dudes care about guitars and riffs and such. I, being a dude, am pretty excited about the outcome of this track. We demo'd this with a guy by the name of Rick Beato in Atlanta (who is an encyclopedia of musical knowledge), and it came out as a friend put it..."like an episode of Lost." We showed it to our dear friend, Elvis Baskette, and he tweaked the arrangement to where it is today. I really like this newest arrangement, but maybe one day we will show you the older version. Another buddy asked if it was a Thin Lizzy cover when we sound checked it before a show. I say success!

"Avalanche"

Yeah, Ive got your number
Yeah, I dont know your name
Caught in a landslide under
You don't remember my face

Every little thing I do
Doesn't mean anything to you
Every little thing I do
Doesn't mean a thing (doesn't mean a thing) to you

Yeah the times are now ending
Believers, come lift up your hands
Left me in a landslide under
Left me in an avalanche

Every little thing I do
Doesn't mean anything to you
Every little thing I do
Doesn't mean a thing (doesn't mean a thing) to you

Some people ask for permission, but I'd rather ask for forgiveness
the sand in the hourglass slipping and you're running out of time

This song pretty much spells it all out, but a thought that floats through my head in this song is: "If the world was ending, would I be doing the things that I am doing now?" Maybe John Cusack would have the answer, or Will Smith.
