Rising country artist Carolyn Miller has released her newest song, “Flatline” out now. This song is the follow up to her last single “All In” which was named Radio Disney Country Song of the Week. “Flatline” is an anthemic/empowerment song with themes of perseverance and coming back stronger (“knock me down, I’ll build back up…I ain’t gonna flatline”). View the fan-driven video showcasing her followers’ “comeback” below.
Driven by her passion for performing, Miller has turned to live streaming during her time quarantined, delivering over 100 livestream concerts for various radio stations, media outlets, music venues, and even (virtually) hosting and performing in various high profile events and online festivals. Miller sang the national anthem for the NY Mets and hosted (as well as performed on) both of Music Mayhem’s virtual country festivals alongside Billy Ray Cyrus, Walker Hayes, Tenille Townes, and
Alan Murphy, of The Mighty High and Dry. Right now, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, with no end in sight, Alan Murphy imagines the plight of songwriters as a familiar philosophical question: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The falling tree, and the songwriters, are making vibrations in the air. It’s your ear that converts those vibrations into sound. And if there’s no one on the receiving end, did the sound even exist? “I know it feels good to write a song,” Murphy says. “I know it feels good to sing and play. I know it feels good to perform, and I love to record. Getting music out, getting recordings out to people, is interesting as an independent artist. It’s interesting.”
