Once, when musician Sharaya Mikael was traveling through Colorado, she heard a story about a gold miner who dug on his land for years and years. Finally, defeated, he sold the land to a man who dug only three feet before striking it rich. It’s a lesson she’s held with her ever since: You never know how close you are to something. It’s been true for Mikael’s band Banta, who have continued to find themselves on the cusp of success, knowing that perseverance will always carry them forward. The group, which formed in September of 2013 after Mikael moved to Los Angeles from Nashville where she’d been pursuing a solo career, knows that a career doesn’t develop overnight – and they’re willing to put in the time. 

Banta’s debut album Dark Charms will be released on February 12, 2016.

Someday

Banta - Someday

I’ve been waking with a sinking feeling, write down the words lift them from my chest. 
Again I resolve to give up cigarettes. 
Ponder the grass and they way it withers, watching the ants as they march along. 
I’ve been falling asleep with the TV on. 

Drifted away on a sea of someone else’s truth. 
Deep in the dark I’ll find my way through. 

By the light of the moon. The light of the moon. 
I’m holding on for a brighter day, and her light leads the way. 
The light of the moon. 

The Nightingale sings his song regardless. The flowers bloom and they don’t ask “why?”. Making mistakes guess the point is that we tried. 

I’ve done things that I swore to myself I would never do. 
Deep in the dark I’ll find my way through. 

How? How’d I get so lost? How? How’d I get so lost? 
The sun will rise again, but tonight I’ve found a friend.

Light of the Moon

You get home from work like a kite in a hurricane
Too many thoughts are clouding up everything

Why do we always learn the hard way?
Why've we been here and gone again?

Cause I'll stand in your corner
Cause I'll stand in your corner
Coulda done more, shoulda been there, no more wastin' precious time
Cause I'll stand in your corner

Stay by my side, you're walking against the wind
Look through my eyes, I'm going where you ain't been

Why do we always learn the hard way?
Why've we been here and gone again?

Cause I'll stand in your corner
Cause I'll stand in your corner
Coulda done more, shoulda been there, no more wastin' precious time
Cause I'll stand in your corner

Lean on my windowsill, look at how far we've come
And everywhere we'll go

Cause I'll stand in your corner
Cause I'll stand in your corner
Coulda done more, shoulda been there, no more wastin' precious time
Cause I'll stand in your corner

In Your Corner
