Biography

bôa (official capitalisation) is an English alternative/ indie band formed in London in 1993 by drummer Ed Herten, keyboard player Paul Turrell, and guitarist/vocalist Steve Rodgers. The band progressed from a funk band to a rock band over the years, as bassist Alex Caird and multi-instrumentalist Ben Henderson joined the group, Steve's sister Jasmine was added as vocalist and Lee Sullivan took over on drums. Their track "Duvet" was the opening theme song to the anime television series Serial Experiments Lain. The band was originally signed by Polystar in Japan which released their first album "Race of a Thousand Camels" (1998). However, the band decided to change labels and signed with Pioneer LDC (now called Geneon) to release Twilight (2001). Following their success with Twilight, the band created their own independent label called Bôa Recordings. Get There was released on 1 February 2005. It took bôa in a new direction, with more structure in lyrics and melody, as well as a more mellow, yet harder-edged/ indie rock format. It also had more acoustic elements than the first album. Following a hiatus, they reformed in the early 20s, releasing new music and touring globally. bôa's current lineup consists of Jasmine Rodgers (vocals & guitar), Alex Caird (bass), and Lee Sullivan (drums & piano).

LYRICS

If I was to hold one hand over my face now
Would you know me?
Or would you see the other side of me?
And if you were to notice
There is a plan I've been devising
To go, to go now, far away from here
And I gonna be so brave
And I gonna go so far away

Where are the wise men?
Where have they all gone to
Did they follow the spirit children
Down the road that only they know?
And you and I know that the answer lies
Somewhere deep in the city of skies
We're gonna go there
We're gonna go there
We're gonna see the daylight
And I, gonna fly away now
And I, gonna go where the path runs high

Oh, I'm searching, Oh yeah.

I'm gonna go there, I'm gonna travel
I'm gonna see my through and
You can follow
We can go together
Trunk in hand we're gonna go

Isn't it touching the way the trees hold the leaves
Into the sky
And when the breeze blows
All you can see is the green and gold
You and I know that the city holds, the street night lights
And we're gonna find it
We're gonna find the gold that illuminates our lives
And I, gonna go so far away
And I, gonna see the stars up high

Hear me out, hear me out
I'm searching
Hear me out, yeah

We can go there, we can travel
Over the motorway, over the valley
All the way there with your gentle spirit
I am not afraid
With your gentle spirit
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
