Kootenay Bay from Roots & Horizons by Michaela Bekenn
On a songwriting retreat nestled in the Kootenay mountains, dreaming in a creekside cabin, Michaela was enlivened by the ever-flowing rhythm of nature. The stillness, vitality, and harmony of it all. The first listeners of this song were the dancing waves of Kootenay Lake.

LYRICS:
Ah, doors wide open
Ah, I'm calling all songs inside
Don't be afraid
This is the place, this is the day for
Comin' out to play
Oh mountain
We can all learn a lesson from you
Stand tall stand strong
Be kind
Don't be afraid
This is the place, this is the day for
Coming alive
Kootenay Kootenay Bay, you show me the way
We're all searching
For something and nothing
And I know it can be hard
When the world gets heavy
But step outside into the light
And open up your heart
Kootenay Kootenay Bay, you show me the way
Peak of life
There is magic in the air
And my soul is set free
The earth has music to share
I am surrounded by the light
Kootenay Kootenay Bay
Thank you for showing us the way
The way
I am surrounded by the light
You are surrounded by the light
And we are surrounded by the light

Michaela weaves dreamy acoustic layers with potent lyricism, and soaring vocal melodies. Her songs are “intimate, refined and beautifully arranged” (BeeHive Candy). “Firmly rooted in the indie-folk genre, Michaela’s training in vocal technique and musical storytelling pay dividends. [Her songs are] soft and contemplative one moment, fun and frivolous the next” (Great Dark Wonder, 2020).
