After seeking as many opportunities as she could, including spending several summers as a main act on the Medora Musical stage, Kat followed her undeniable drive and passion for performing and moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to pursue music on a more professional scale. She quickly gained the attention of the local Twin Cities music scene by taking stages in the several projects and bands she formed over the years. The most successful being her rock band, Scarlet Haze, which went to open for Bon Jovi, amongst working with some of the music industry's most well known acts. After a hiatus from performing due to vocal surgery, Kat made a musical comeback in 2014 by auditioning and appearing on season 6 of NBC's The Voice. Kat turned 3 chairs during her blind audition, charted in the top 5 on iTunes several times with her stand-out performances on the show, and sailed to the finals with help from her coach, Adam Levine. Being on The Voice brought new platforms of success and opportunities Kat's way. She's since gone on an average of two military tours per year to perform for the troops overseas, sold out venues across America with a variety of themed performances and tours, and began going into schools to speak to students about following their dreams, living a Fearless life, and making a positive impact on the world. The praise Kat received from these presentations even led her to begin a nonprofit foundation, The Rising Star Foundation, providing scholarships and opportunity for aspiring musicians while also giving back to the local community.

Landslide
Kat Perkins Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?

Can I handle the season of my life, ah ah

I don't know
Ooh ooh I don't know

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

So

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
And children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh yes, I'm getting older too

So I take my love, take it down
Oh if you climb a mountain and turn around

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Will, will the landslide bring you down

Overall Meaning

The song "Landslide" by Kat Perkins is a cover of the original song by Fleetwood Mac. The lyrics of the song are about facing changes and growing older. The song begins with the singer talking about how they took their love and climbed a mountain only to lose it all when a landslide brought them down. The use of a landslide in the song is meant to symbolize the events in life that can bring everything crashing down unexpectedly.

The singer then questions the concept of love and wonders if the child within their heart can rise above to handle the changing times. They ask if they can sail through the changing ocean tides, handle the seasons of their life, and grow with them. Towards the end of the song, the singer comes to terms with the fact that they are getting older and need to accept the changes in their life. They recognize that even though they built their life around someone, time will make them bolder, and everyone gets older eventually.

Line by Line Meaning

I took my love and I took it down
I left my love behind and traveled to a lower point

I climbed a mountain and I turned around
I ascended a mountaintop and reversed my direction

And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
I caught a glimpse of my image on the snow-laden hills

'Til the landslide brought me down
Until the massive movement of soil and rock dropped me off

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Hey, sky mirror, what does love mean?

Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can my inner child overcome?

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I persist through the fluctuating ocean currents?

Can I handle the season of my life, ah ah
Can I cope with the time I'm living in?

I don't know
I'm not sure

Ooh ooh I don't know
I really don't know

Well, I've been afraid of changing
I've been scared of altering

'Cause I've built my life around you
Because my existence is based on yours

But time makes you bolder
However time makes you braver

Even children get older
Even kids grow up

And I'm getting older too
And I'm also aging

So
Consequently

Oh if you climb a mountain and turn around
Oh, if you hike up a peak and look back

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
And if you spot my reflection on the snow-white mountains

Will, will the landslide bring you down
Would the landslide make you fall?

Well, I've been afraid of changing
I've been scared of altering

'Cause I, I've built my life around you
Because my life is centered around you

And children get older
Kids grow up

And I'm getting older too
I'm aging as well

Oh yes, I'm getting older too
Indeed, I too am getting old

One of the most underrated performances on the voice. That song in that key is impossible, and she did the impossible live.
