Matthew Good - Avalanche (Album Version)

One foot in front of the other
One foot back to counter it
Days like these you've got to find it in some other way
It's all or nothing baby

Avalanche, start inside of me
Avalanche, down through the trees
Avalanche, start inside of me
Avalanche, hell down through the trees

If everyone's a casualty
Then take your time there ain't no trouble
If the weather's fine and we're fealing crazy
There's always drinks and dancing in the rubble
I'm spinning and you're spinning
The world's spinning and we're laughing
And I'm charming, the devil's charming
And we're ruined but we're still building
And I'm selling and you're counting
The world's stopping but we keep going
And we're ruthless and we're cunning
And I'm heir to it all

Days like these you've gotta find it in some other way
It's all or nothing baby

Avalanche, start inside of me
Avalanche, down through the trees
Avalanche, start inside of me
Avalanche, hell down through the trees

This key is to your kingdom
This key is to your heart
Neither one is a doorway
But both of them a part
So one foot in front of the other

I am just getting into his music. Are there any recommendations on where to start? I am more inclined to like acoustic-centered songs like the beginning of this one. Thanks!

Pick up Hospital Music, Its a great album with lots of acoustic based songs.

Matthew Good is a lyrical/musical genius. I think so many people can relate to his lyrics, and his music is always catchy. How can you NOT love his music? And Avalanche is ALSO one of my favorite MGB songs.

Avalanche and Hospital Music albums are landmarks on my playlist. Just very f*cking good stuff and the Avalanche tune particularly was the catalysor of all my interest towards Matthew Good. Especially the part starting at 3:36.

@mikewtp pick up Last of the Ghetto Astronauts, and Underdogs. those two albums are needed period for ultimate matthewgoodness. and Avalanche will always be a favorite :D

Matthew Good is the soundtrack of my life...

@raptorculiacan I'm American as well and own five albums; I just can't get enough...and I've noticed the older I get the more I'm listening to him. Yes, it is a shame how underrated he is (whether he likes it or not) and the crap that sells the most here in the states.

@mikewtp ....at the beginning 

[raptorculiacan]

@AllThatMakesUsHuman4 I didnt know that! What a Canadian!

[12321Walrus]

@raptorculiacan Yeah not many at all listen. I mean he tours a few places near the border, but no where major. Which is a shame. But whatever, Yanks miss out on tons of great Canadian music; Matt Good, Tragically Hip, Barenaked Ladies, and so on.

[jentrevors]

@suckitfuckerIDC Exactly!!!



[raptorculiacan]

Any americans like Matthew Good? Im canadian and havent understood why he isnt as big in the states. I bet he would do well there.

Matthew Goods best ever song in my opinion.
