The Road 03:24 video
Don't let anybody define you Grab your pen Draw the lines And Work it out Don't let anybody control you It's your life Push them back Put on your crown Through all the walls that rise up Keep your head, your heart, your soul and when your hair turns to silver You will never become old (become old) Don't let anybody deny you Hold a rose Between your teeth And Take a bow Don't let anybody confine you Grab the map Find your path hit the road There's a sweetness there inside you To yourself always be true I'll be cheering on the sideline "May the road rise with you" (rise with you)

La Jetée 03:50
first time I ever saw your face Was the day I died And Never breathed again Time stood still, frames moved slow Like a starlet from a film from long ago Find what you love and oooooh let it kill you Let your castles be consumed by the tide Have faith in love though it may seem to betray you Even the most winding path can lead you home A breeze in your hair, a pale blue sky a sky as beautiful as your eyes All things die even stars All things but you in my heart Had a dream last night we were high on a mountain Umbrellas lined in rows to the shore You stood with me and you put your arms around me and it felt... like... home.

about

I won’t say much about this EP except to say that this is a three-song celebration of someone remarkable, beautiful, and like no other person I’ve ever met. These songs are written for her and her alone.

Thanks to the rest of the band and Mlee Marie (Hearts of Animals) for indulging me on this, for adding their unique touches to these tracks, and not to mention working long hours to record, mix, and master in a matter of weeks so that we could release it on the date I wanted. Ditto for artist Michael C. Rodriguez whose hard work is greatly appreciated. You guys are all awesome. - Ramon LP4

"Anthemic, stupid and selflessly unrestrained, the LPQ eventually attain self immolation of sorts during the sprawling chaos."-Ptolemaic Terrascope-UK
