Story Behind The Song

Inspired by my uncle's separation from his wife of 18 yrs. Like an avalache, there is a weakness in the land and when not addressed, that weakness becomes the powerful force that destroys.

Song Description

Looking into a broken realtionship and realizing what went wrong while still holding out hope for a brighter future.

Lyrics

Avalanche
(by Sheila Swift)

I didn?t make it to the summit
Cause my climb got interrupted
By an avalanche of things I didn?t say
Left me sifting through the wreckage


(PRE-CHORUS)
And the gravity, got a hold of me?

(CHORUS)
Soon we?ll see the mountaintop
We?ll move past where the foothills stop
Somehow you and I got caught
In a landslide all our own,
In a landslide all our own.


It took a while for me to surface
And to find our love is worth it
After an avalanche forced the reality
Of how much power is in our weakness


But how green, is our valley?

(CHORUS)
Soon we?ll see the mountaintop
We?ll move past where the foothills stop
Somehow you and I got caught
In a landslide all our own,
In a landslide all our own.
