Stride 05:00
Words by Shay Martin Lovette I set the woods to fire Yeah the bramble and briar Never knowin' what I needed Until it all fell through When the sky did wake We made it back to your home state Eyes heavy, waitin' on the Chevy to break Somethin' bout a long road Dancin' through a shadow Of the people and the places we've been Coffee on the table Burning through your town And when the Sun goes down without a place to hide We'll take it all in stride Take it all in And how many lonesome days Can you give away Are you selfish at most? It's always been that way "If you had a dime right now I would cut the key somehow Show you a place and let everybody win" Somethin' bout a long ride Talkin' from the inside The past it will not last Don't you see Coffee on the table Burning through your town And when the Sun goes down without a place to hide We'll take in all in stride Take it all in Somethin' bout a long road Learnin' how to let go Of a memory kickin' me around Whiskey on the table A record in your hand And when the Sun goes down you pull me like the tide And take it all in stride Take it all in Take it all

Words by Shay Martin Lovette Headed out down Main Street in the pouring rain Watching doors slam Candles burning in the window panes The city's cold and it's high So are you this time of year When the lights flicker and fade out Ain't no vacancy here But your empty now Hashin' out a plan To let all of the caged birds free To shut out the daylight on me You had a dream you never told us Underneath Magnolias If you could would you take it back Two hundred years or more To clarify, to decipher why What it is that you're here for When these old photographs Start fading to receipts Bitter sweet reminders Time and a memory Are you wealthy now? Running out of time to spend To let all of the caged birds free To shut out the headlights and sleep You had plan you never told us Underneath Magnolias God had a plan and tonight he told us Underneath Magnolias

Liquor Smile 05:25
Words by Shay Martin Lovette Remember waking up like a newborn child Runnin' round town with a liquor smile Days you didn't know it where we had to go Heart like a river waiting on the boat And all of the world in a dizzy spin Easy to tell by the shape we in Give me a taste for to help me sleep With a new plan and a guarantee Stars they fall through the darkness here The vast unknown or the fate we fear Strangers to the tumbling sea Books on a shelf where we used to be Well love it aint no place or time A sharp knife or a finish line Trust in all you do not know A lifting, a letting go Of the dark days and the sleepless nights Crazy eyes and the strangest lights All these words I try to reel in To define just what I'm feelin' Now I hope the sunset will explain And I can see the rain from a mile away All good things on a Saturday Laughing at the way the waves did shine Simple as a diamond on that mind Open doors and welcome souls Ain't where you are it's who you hold Down from the city to the days of old And every little town that you've been before Understand you were born to be In trouble frequently Everybody knows nobody's free Don't you let it get the best of me And love it ain't no place or time A sharp knife or a finish line Faith in all you do not know A lifting, a letting go Of the dark days and the sleepless nights Crazy eyes and the strangest lights Whatever lifts you up or fails you When there ain't nothing I can tell you Well I hope the sunset will explain It's been a mean ride But where headed out Singin' loud from the city to the South There was a map I had to draw you Before I ever saw you So I know the sunset will explain Remember waking up like a newborn child Runnin' round town with a liquor smile

Bermuda Run 03:25
Words by Shay Martin Lovette She was a desert highway And I was sliding sideways Losing control Save my soul Lost and low down Looking like hell But we made it up from the bottom of the well To meet the moon Like the world was ending soon Headed towards the rising Sun But I ain't ever going back to Bermuda Run Wild bird laughter and the sweetest pain After all these changes What remains Lost and low down Waiting on a win Now the story just gets stranger my friend We cannot see What's coming for you and me Headed towards the rising Sun But I ain't ever going back to Bermuda Run She was an honest gamble Nothing I could handle Still I had to try Don't ask me why Lost and low down Find out how to shake Some days we bloom Some days were breaking in two But we got so much more to do Headed towards the rising Sun but I ain't ever going back Don't care what they said I done I ain't ever going back Headed towards the rising Sun Well I ain't ever going back to Bermuda Run

about

A highly anticipated EP displays the musical chemistry that brothers Chad and Shay Lovette developed along with long-time friend, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Locke Griffith over the last few years.
______________________________________________________________

This EP is dedicated to Chad Lovette who left this world to explore the next in July of 2016 after an extended battle with stage IV brain cancer.
______________________________________________________________
Chad played electric and upright bass and sang harmonies on this EP while a tumor was quickly progressing in his brain. Most people who met Chad never even knew that he had cancer at all because of his bright and adventurous disposition and this is how he preferred it. I'll never forget the last night of recording with Locke Griffith's in Carrboro, NC. Chad played and sang like the party would never end, though he knew he would be going to doctor the following day to see how much the tumor had progressed.

Chad will be remembered always for these sorts of moments, for the positive changes and influences he made in the lives of all that he met, and for loving unconditionally.
______________________________________________________________
The words below were written by Chad Lovette one week after being diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer and display his beautiful perspective on the choice that we all must make in life when dealing with extreme adversity:

"What I had believed, and what I will always believe, is that happiness is found through eternal optimism. Even when life blindsides you, and it feels like nothing will be the same, it is up to you to step back onto your feet and back into your life of adventure."
-Chad Allen Lovette
