about

"Avalanche tells a short albeit arduous tale of expectations vs reality. A long life lesson in this is mirrored in a failed hike up a mountain in the Lake District which inspired the song, involving a giant knee-deep bog and a thunderstorm. It is also about learning to accept things how they’ve turned out and having to let go of our mind pictures."

lyrics

Lyrics :

It’s been a long old slog camp to camp
We are a knackered pack of dogs, how we pant
Had we listened closely enough – avalanche!
It’s been a long old slog to only crash

Through and through, through and through we two
Through and through, through and through we clamber
Through and through, through and through we two
Through and through, through and through we clamber

We never made it up the Old Man of Coniston
I could agonise over every wrong, but why bother?

Where is the ego lodged this far from camp?
Gazing into a bog so dark and dank
Did we labour nearly enough on our plot of land?
Thickening paste of fog on our gallivant

Through and through, through and through we two
Through and through, through and through we clamber
Through and through, through and through we two
Through and through, through and through we clamber

We never made it up the Old Man of Coniston
I could agonise over every wrong, but why bother?

We never made it up the Old Man of Coniston
I could agonise over every wrong, but why bother?
