Harpist Mikaela Davis released her latest single “11:11” on Tuesday, November 11, a patient, melodic journey with harp cascading through Davis’ enchanting voice.

The track is the first in two years since the release of sophomore album, 2023’s And Southern Star.

The glowing verses part the waves towards the fuzz-tone guitars in the chorus, where the ethos of the song – making a wish when the clock reads “11:11” – becomes incantation and ritual. Not rushed and not too paced, the image painted by Davis allows sound and emotion to merge uninterrupted.

“11:11” is written by Davis along with collaborator John Lee Shannon (Circles Around the Sun) and recorded by Dan Horne at UHF Studio in Glendale, California. The song begins a new era for the harpist/singer-songwriter with more music on the horizon.

Mikaela Davis “11:11” Lyrics

Day after day

I find myself in this unfamiliar place

Oh how I try

but I just can’t seem to recognize your face

Fading away

like a photograph forgotten on the wall

What can I say

when the time has come and gone?

All the memories escape me now

Every subject’s out of frame

Missing pieces that I’ll never find

But the puzzle still remains

Like my father,

why should I bother?

Never say never,

nothing’s forever

Make a wish and

light the candle

11:11

again and again and

Taking a drive

on a one way trip to a place you’ve never been

I guess you lied

when you said that you’d be coming home again

Running away

from a place where everybody knows your name

Isn’t it great?

Sometimes you need a change

And when the dust begins to settle down

Everything will feel the same

You can pretend to be someone else

But the memories remain

Like my father,

why should I bother?

Never say never,

nothing’s forever

Make a wish and

light the candle

11:11

again and again and

Like my father,

why should I bother?

Never say never,

nothing’s forever

Make a wish and

light the candle
