Prairie Sea 03:11
PRAIRIE SEA Katie Miller©2015 I like the sound of gravel Crunching underneath my tires I like to feel the wind Pushing me a little bit farther I like to see the canola Blooming in the fields Come take a ride with me And we’ll sail along this prairie sea In the summertime In the summertime… I like watching the clouds Tell their amusing stories I like to stop and pick the Saskatoons by the pailful I like to hear the coyotes Laughing at their jokes I like it when the sky Turns dark in the afternoon, yeah I like to see the lightning Flashing all around me I like to feel the thunder Thumping through my chest Won’t you come take a ride with me In the summertime And we’ll sail along this prairie sea In the summertime…

Silverflower 03:44
SILVERFLOWER Katie Miller ©2015 You make me proud, watching you make your way You’re rising up, rising slowly from the dark muddy water Where you came from, with your heart wide open Silverflower, look at how far How far you’ve come Oh my silverflower You are so unaware of the beauty you radiate You’ve got that way, watching you walk into a room You draw everybody in, with your heart wide open Silverflower, look at how far How far you’ve come Oh my silverflower

Without You 04:55
WITHOUT YOU Katie Miller ©2015 I have given all that I can possibly give I have brought you all that you could ever wish for and more I have stressed myself inside out over you But why, when your eyes show all too clearly What I didn't see before, so now I am getting a better point of view Am I making a little sense to you? I am making a better life without you Without you, without you. You have sat right back and watch me start to fade You have seen me lose my shine, my shimmer, my joy You have taken more than I thought ever possible But how, when I'm supposed to be the stronger one I think you've made me stronger, so now I know not to expect any more from you I know not to wait for empty wishes, promises, they're lies I know not to try to see a different side of you But who will you turn to in your darkest hour You need to be strong for yourself

Fight 03:02
FIGHT Katie Miller ©2015 You think you got this hold on me You think you got some kind of control But I’m not caving in I’m not backing down The gloves are coming off I’m ready to look you in the eye I’m ready to fight you all the way I’m ready to push you out today Not tomorrow, I’m not gonna wait I’m not gonna wait another Dying day You think that you can kick me down You think that you can twist my head around But I’m not caving in I’m not backing down The gloves are coming off I’m ready to look you in the eye I’m ready to fight you all the way I’m ready to push you out today Not tomorrow, I’m not gonna wait I’m not gonna wait another Dying day You think you got this hold on me You think you got some kind of control You think that you can kick me down You think that you can twist my head around

STRONG & FREE Katie Miller ©2015 Another day in January I’m sittin here At my frosted window looking out at the cold The sun dogs are barking at me telling me it’s time Time to get movin on In this true north country, there’s got to be Someone like me, trying to be strong and free Strong and free, strong and free, strong and free I step outside and the cold wind greets me like an old friend Wrestling and pulling me out the door again Pulling me into that old green truck and how I remember Not so long ago when I was sittin’ on the other side Drivin down this snow-drifted road always brings back those stories About the good old days and that good old hockey game I know he’s somewhere out there watching over me I can feel his smile shining down

STILL THE ONE FOR ME Katie Miller ©2015 It seems a world away Those drives we used to take In that rusted out truck, trying not to get stuck No radio, no stereo So we’d sing every song we knew At least a verse or two And drive out of town, windows rolled down No hesitation, no destination We’ll never be as wild and free as We were at sixteen Still the one for me Now we’re living in cruise control Speeding down life’s rough road At times feeling jaded, tired out, faded Losing direction, losing connection Let’s close our eyes if only for a moment And fly to the nearest star in the sky And remember, do you remember when we’d Sing every song we knew At least a verse or two And drive out of town, windows rolled down No hesitation, no destination We’ll never be as wild and free as We were at sixteen But the road is ours and the nearest star Isn’t all that far to reach Believe me, believe me You’re still the one for me Still the one for me

Eve 04:36
EVE Katie Miller ©2015 Oh Eve, at fifteen stops crying herself to sleep Oh Eve, workin two jobs and counting her babysitting money Oh Eve, at four in the morning packing up her suitcase Oh Eve, running down her street with her guitar and a dream Don’t lose sight of yourself Oh Eve, don’t lose sight of yourself Oh Eve, at sixteen sits on the corner busking Oh Eve, cold and hungry meets the man of her dreams Don’t lose sight of yourself Oh Eve, don’t lose sight of yourself Oh Eve, at twenty-three stops crying herself to sleep Oh Eve, workin two jobs and counting all her money Oh Eve, at four in the morning is packing up her suitcase Oh Eve, running down her street with her guitar and a dream

Try 05:12
TRY Katie Miller ©2015 It’s a sunny day, I wish I could stay Stay right by your side and talk the day away Think a happy thought try not to get caught Caught up in circles that spin your head around Nights grow so long, darkness falls upon me now I should be strong, stronger than I was before Try to see the sun Don’t hide, what’s done is done Try, try, try to see the sun The story of your life cuts me like a knife It cuts me down to size and leaves me asking why Winter’s so cold and I hear the wind outside your window We’ve got to hold, hold on to each other now Try to see the sun Don’t hide, what’s done is done Try, try, try to see the sun Nights grow so long, darkness falls upon me now I should be strong, stronger than I was before

about

I am blessed to have incredibly talented musicians play on my debut album. Their musical expertise amped up my creations, giving my songs an energy that makes you want to turn up the volume. My music is very personal and comes from my own life experiences and those around me, and are my stories to share.

My songs range from soulful ballads to upbeat, driving with the windows down tunes, to angst-driven material written from the gut. The title track, "Silverflower," is very special to me as my three children are the inspiration and driving force behind this ballad. The first track, "Prairie Sea," is also near and dear to me as it was written at my happy summer place at Sandy Lake, Manitoba. "Prairie Sea" paints a portrait of summer on the prairies and was featured as the theme song for Embrace Theatre's (Saskatoon) family production that toured Saskatchewan's provincial parks in the summer of 2014. The fourth track "Without You" is a very emotional song based on anger and hurt turned into hope and renewal.
