Kosheen is a Bristol-based trio formed in 1998. The band includes Sian Evans (vocals), Darren “Decoder” Beale and Markie “Substance” Morrison (both producing, mixing, guitars etc.), also Mitch Glover on drums (as a session musician). Kosheen achieved international success with their debut single Hide U, which reached # 6 in UK official chart. Their debut album “Resist” (released in 2001), a powerful mixture of drum’n’bass, trip-hop, chillout, hip-hop-inspired beats and traditional singer-songwriter production, was warmly accepted by both critics and audience and later went “gold”. With their second LP “Kokopelli” Kosheen completely changed their music style and turned to more rock-oriented tunes mixed with electronica & trip-hop.

Avalanche Lyrics

Kosheen

He looks like me
But not so haunted
Eyes like the sea
In storm
In torment
How can a body so frail
Contain this spirit
This creature I see

We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
Got to get you out of this somehow I know

He looks right through me
So unprotected
His only legacy
Returned
Rejected
So young so free
So old and ridden
Oh what you see

We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
Got to get you out of this somehow I know

He's nothing like me
So wrong and wretched
Your safe reality
Is living in sketches
And live out happiness
With no explanation
And peer out at the world

We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
Got to get you out of this somehow I know
