Musik Mundi: Avalanche City

Avalanche City
Album: Our New Life Above The Ground (2011)
Song: Love Love Love

It was late at night and I was making the drive back to Auckland after a day of ruckus in the New Zealand countryside. As I sat stiff and rigid behind the wheel, I drove the rental from the opposite side of the car and on the opposite side of the road. I was really, really ... tense. My traveling companions were going in and out of sleep. I kept thinking to myself, how in the world can these people be relaxed enough to actually fall asleep?!? My eyes were big and round and I kept finding myself holding my breath. The roads were constantly curving and oncoming cars would pass just inches away from me. At least that's how it felt since there was no dividing barrier. The speed limit felt a bit overly gernerous but I found out that 100 km/hr is only 60 mi/hr. I'm such a grandma driver! To make things even more nerve wracking, street lights are non-existent until you reach the Auckland city limits. Somewhere in the middle of all of this, I was able to relax for about four minutes. A song playing on the radio caught my attention. It also caught the attention of baby sistar who asked me if I knew the song. I didn't. But I wanted to know what it was called and who it was by. Good thing baby sistar was there cos she noted the lyrics and looked up the song when we finally got back to our home away from home. Saved me the trouble! This song is by no means the best song evar or anything, but it's just my taste. Folk-say! Hay! Hay! Hay! The best part is that the band members are from NEW ZEALAND! Since New Zealand has become my new favorite place that I have visited, it's a good ending to come back home with some new tunes from some Kiwis.
