So Far Away

"Purify Your Sight" was written after Loria released her debut EP Moving House in 2018 and felt like everyone was moving forward but her. Cutting off social media and travelling to her motherland Bosnia Herzegovina for 6 weeks, "Purify Your Sight" was created. With a sophisticated arrangement reminiscent of artists such as Lianne La Havas, Arlo Parks or Erykah Badu, the track talks about the importance of taking a break from everything external and taking a deep look within. Meditative and infectious, the song is produced, mixed and mastered by Loria herself.

LYRICS:

There's no way around it
Gotta stick to the plan
No matter what the others can do

So we just enjoy the process
Gotta keep on watering our knowledge
We just gotta keep on keeping on
Soon we’ll harvest what we’ve sown

The grass is always greener on the other side if you don’t water your side
Gotta let it take its time
It gets better just like wine
Doubt it always grow when you see the others mow
And suddenly you feel low
Gotta close your eyes
So you can purify your sight

Purify your sight
Purify your sight
Purify your sight
Purify your sight

We won’t find the answers
If we don’t look within
We gotta let the others in

And if you planted your heart
What would there grow?
Would you let anyone know what you’ve sown?

Cause then we could enjoy the process
Gotta keep on watering our knowledge
We just gotta keep on keeping on
Soon we’ll harvest what we’ve sown

The grass is always greener on the other side if you don’t water your side
Gotta let it take its time
It gets better just like wine
Doubt it always grow when you see the others mow
And suddenly you feel low
Gotta close your eyes
So you can purify your sight

Purify your sight
Purify your sight

We gotta keep on keeping on
Envision what the future has in store
No matter what today might bring
It’s just a stepping stone to the real thing

You gotta keep on keeping on
Envision what the future has in store
No matter what today might bring
It’s just a stepping stone to the real thing

Purify Your Sight

Lost & Found reflects on the feeling of longing for love and how easy it is to feel lost in today’s dating world where people feel used and easily disposable. Reminiscent of sonorities of classic neo-soul classics, it is the perfect autumn anthem.

The Garden Intro

I Would Die 4 U is one of my favorite by all of his songs and this is my interpretation of it.




I Would Die 4 U (Prince Cover) - Loria Boban

I’m jealous of the way you see this world 
They tore me to pieces when they spoke those words 
They made my life a mess 
Now I’m always a mess 

It would be a lie and say it was easy for me 
To forgive all the scars that you gave to me 
We haven’t even met 
You didn’t have a name 

So can you tell me once or twice, once or twice, once or twice 
How I’m gonna live without you by my side 
Cause I can’t be sure, that I will love anymore 
If I have to live without you by my side 

Kisses down your neck, your love it tastes so sweet 
But your existence makes it hard for me to breathe, 
We're always on the edge 
we're always on the edge 

I gave you all my lovin and I gave it for free 
But life doesn’t always turn out the way we want it to be 
We’re always on the edge 
It’s always the last breath 

But can you tell me once or twice once or twice once or twice 
How I’m gonna live without you by my side 
Cause I can’t be sure, that I will love anymore 
If I have to live without you by my side 
If I have to live without you by my side

Once Or Twice (Bonus Track) - One Mic One Take

We keep on dancing into infinity 
Love is the mission it's our destiny 
We will do whatever it takes 
There's no room for any mistakes 
We're the funk lover soldiers 
Funk Lover Soldiers 

Funk Lover Soldiers come to save your life 
Your heart is beating but it's running out of time 
Your brain's been washed by the same four chords 
Close your eyes, you'll be saved by the funky lord 

Bust a funky move 
To our sick ass groove 
We're on fire like gasoline 
Bow down for your funky Queen 

We're the Funk Lover Soldiers 
We've come to save ya 
We've come to save ya 
We're the Funk Lover Soldiers 
Our music will change ya 
Our music will change ya 

Funk lover soldiers come to ease your mind 
Your soul's been drained by the same old lines 
We've come to save you from this world 
But we will need you to trust in our words 

We gon' break all of the chains 
That's keeping you trapped in this crazy game 
With the little help of Peace, Love and Harmony 
We're gonna put this world to shame 
We ain't doin' it for the fame 
And the nasty leaders will take the blame 


Bust a funky move 
To our sick ass groove 
We on fire like gasoline 
Now bow down for your funky Queen 

We're the Funk Lover Soldiers 
We've come to save ya 
We've come to save ya 
We're the Funk Lover Soldiers 
Our music will change ya 
Our music will change ya 

Now what I'm trying to say 
Is that love is the only way 
Do you get what I'm trying to say? 
Pass on the joint to your sister and your brother 
Pass it on to your enemy and your lover connect with what's inside 
We have to in this crazy life 
Let's all live in peace, 
Peace, Love and Harmony 


We're the Funk Lover Soldiers 
We've come to save ya 
We've come to save ya 
We're the Funk Lover Soldiers 
Our music will change ya 
Our music will change ya 
We're the Funk Lover Soldiers 
We've come to save ya 
We've come to save ya 
We're the Funk Lover Soldiers 
Our music will change ya 
Our music will change ya

Funk Lover Soldiers

See this world won’t have a hold on me 
I got my own society 
You see, a change won’t be imposed on me 
Cause I’ve set my own future free 

You can try to tell me who to be, 
But I’m way up in the sky 
Got no reason to reply 
I’m on my moving house, yeah 

I got myself a moving house, it joins me on the road 
I got myself a moving house, I’m never far from home 

See my dreams are always close to me 
I’m exactly where I need to be, yeah 
So listen, what you see is what you get 
I’m gon’ groovin’ til there’s nothing left 

You can try to tell me where to be 
But I’m way up in the sky 
Got no reason to reply 
I’m on my moving house 

I got myself a moving house, it joins me on the road 
I got myself a moving house, I’m never far from home 

It got windows with an ocean view 
Into my soul (into her soul) 
Got an attic full of memories 
A garden filled with fantasies 
Baby, I’m planting seeds 

Trees that will reach the 
mountain top 
I’ll climb them all, to the top 
and enjoy the ride 
On my moving house 

I got myself a moving house, it joins me on the road 
I got myself a moving house, I’m never far from home 
I got myself a moving house, it joins me on the road 
I got myself a moving house, I’m never far from home

Moving House

You can’t get me off of my high 
You can’t tell me that I ain’t right 
I do as I please 
This moment belongs to me 
I do as I please 
This moment belongs to me 

And baby, 
Time with you is always time well spent 
I can’t get enough of your taste and scent 
We do as we please 
Our feelings sets us free 
We do as we please 
Our feelings sets us free 

You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get get me off of my high 


Caught between tomorrow and yesterday 
Holding on, won’t let my dreams fade away 
I do as I need 
Cause my music sets me free 
I do as I need 
Cause my music sets me free 

And baby I’m, 
Dreaming of the way you’d say my name 
Take a picture sweetie and put in a frame 
Set me free I’m begging, baby please 
Set me free, I'm begging baby please 

You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get get me off of my high 

You can't get me off of my high, yeah 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get get me off of my high 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get me down (you can’t get me down) 
You can’t get get me off of my high

Get Me Down

You wear me down 
 I can’t keep up with the time  
And who am I  
And what should I do with my life 
You see my mind 
 Is filled with so much doubt  
Tell me why 
 I can’t get them to get out 
   
Cause I can’t give up on you  
But you’re giving up on me 
And I can’t give up on you  
But you’re giving up on me 

All your lies  
Are twisted inside my mind 
I couldn’t find  
My way out even if I tried  
You wear a smile  
When my confidence is at trial 
So tell me why 
 I can’t get you to get out 

Cause I can’t give up on you 
 But you’re giving up on me 
And I can’t give up on you  
But you’re giving up on me 

Seasons come and they go 
like my love for you 
 I’m tired of this reality  
can’t go on no more 
Seasons come and they go 
like my love for you 
 I’m tired of this reality  
can’t go on no more 

Stop your mouth  
You ain’t speaking the truth right now 
Question's why  
Why you wanna play with my mind 
You see I’m fine  
As long as you don’t cross the line 
So I’ll tell you one more time 
 Stop fucking with my mind 

Seasons come and they go 
like my love for you 
 I’m tired of this reality  
can’t go on no more 
Seasons come and they go 
like my love for you 
 I’m tired of this reality  
can’t go on no more 

There’s a miscommunication going on inside my brain, 
I feel intoxicated,  Got to get rid of the pain, 
but there’s only so much I can say for my feelings to behave, 
and could there be another way?  
And I can wake up in the middle of the night, 
anxiety’s sneaking into my mind, 
 All I wanna do was to sing on a stage, 
pour my heart out, release all of my feelings from this cage, 
 But I guess that is a price that we all have to pay,  
and I guess that is a fear that we all have to face.  
So I’m gonna keep on pushing when you’re telling me no, 
and I’m gonna keep on writing til I can’t no more, 
I’m gonna keep on singing till I can’t no more, 
just like the seasons come and go 

Seasons come and they go 
like my love for you 
 I’m tired of this reality  
can’t go on no more 
Seasons come and they go 
like my love for you 
 I’m tired of this reality  
can’t go on no more 
Seasons come and they go 
like my love for you 
 I’m tired of this reality  
can’t go on no more 
Seasons come and they go 
like my love for you 
 I’m tired of this reality  
can’t go on no more
