Hazel Love 03:43
I never met a girl like you / and let me tell you I'm so scared / this kind of thing never happens to me / I'm just this guy from a little town / my hazel dog is all I got / he likes you too till the end / I only want to know one thing / just tell me if you feel the same / if so, we are safe for a couple years / be mine or go / be mine or go / a real true lover I am / I play sad songs in my mom’s car / that she turns off to shield my heart / I left everything undone / I’d leave it all to see your face / It´s weird how I feel / confident enough to tell you / be mine or go / be mine or go / be mine or go / ‘cause time is of the essence.
2.
I need a change and / I’d like to see the world that I couldn’t see / now that I’m reborn / almost reborn / I feel really old like / my mom’s used sewing machine / very old / I won’t back down / I’m free / I will shine / I need to catch my breath / change is gonna come / oh it feels so close to me / right now / I keep my faith strong / all’s well that ends well / I won’t back down / I’m free / at last I am reborn / I keep my faith strong / all’s well that ends well / (anytime it rains - or when I’m in pain ) / I keep my faith strong / all’s well that ends well / (walking down the street with shaky hands and feet).

Sweetheart 03:39
Oh sweetheart, sweetheart / we won't be like them / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / last night / when I was hanging out with you / I was wondering / if our love was true / don’t ask me why / but I think so / I’m going blind / I guess I’m lost / hey, this song is full of joy / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / we won't be like them / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / don’t ask me if I trust you / Now I’m thinking / that if our love is not true / I’ll become a ufologist / I will seek the existence they deny / I’ll make it real / It’s not a lie / (I love mysterious things) / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / I’m sure we're not like them / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / lift up this magic scene / love / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / drive me straight to the sun / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / 'cause we are not like them / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / (this song is full of joy) / oh sweetheart, sweetheart / we’re not like them / this song is pure lie / but we need lies to survive/ that’s the way it is.
4.
Everything's not what it seems / this wheel of pain is a delusion / I’ll try to make all of my dreams shine bright / like a lightning bug / like a lightning bug / I wish you’d met me years ago / when I was tied up to the moon / woe on me / I was deeply lost / Dear Mind / please stop racing so fast at night / The meaning of our dreams / remains a mystery / Calm down and let me sleep / let the right answers reveal / Before long / we'll be game to embark on the longest car ride / Until then / I fantasize with the aliens of Mulholland Drive / Everything's not what it seems / this wheel of pain is a delusion / I’ll try to make all of my dreams shine bright / like a lightning bug / Dear Mind / please stop racing so fast at night / I'm just playing my role / giving it my best shot / Forgive my hidden faults / It's hard to keep it strong / Dear Mind / please stop racing so fast at night / Why do I have these dreams / they get weirder by the year / No room for in betweens / in the space I wanna go alone.
5.
Pipe Dream 04:40
I always get the blues / It’s some kind of old curse / here I am / on pins and needles sometimes / One morning I decide / to change my frame of mind / so I could walk barefoot / into a thick forest of gloom / What it’s like to fall in love / with the very idea of love? / I’ll keep an open mind / A fresh start required right now / All bad things must come to an end / ‘cause now I’m in the mood for change / my buddies used to call me: / “you, champion of the lonely” / so I took off my shoes / and started to wander off loose / I seldom get the blues / got rid of my old curse / The death of night sets in / giving way to my pipe dreams / What it’s like to fall in love / with the very idea of love? / I’ll keep an open mind / A fresh start required right now / All bad things must come to an end / ‘cause now I’m in the mood for change. .
6.
I have blurred vision / I’m obsessed with the things I see / I don't know how I ended up here / Sadly, one day I will leave / I gently woke up to start the day / now it finds me sitting on the porch / deep in my own crazy thoughts / every day is not the same anymore / the sun warms me washing my misdeeds away / I chew all my fear / and when I swallow it disappears / no one tells you that in school / dread’s the one lesson you learned / I don't feel like / smashing things up anymore / tho sometimes it still gets like that / when it does I need to sleep like a log / every day is not the same anymore / the sun warms me washing my misdeeds away / every bitter thing is sweet starting today / every day is not the same anymore / the sun warms me washing my misdeeds away.
7.
Suddenly sunshine girl / came into my whole world / It rained from the sky so high / just as you passed me by / I go out / come back in / now I see all around this town / I can’t find / no one here / who can make your kind of sound / Everything’s turned around / Suddenly sunshine girl / rained on my whole wide world / covering all my blues / I tell everyone the news / Every night / everyday / I am falling in your love / (I’m always window-shopping all alone – stopping on the avenue) / Everywhere / every way / it’s the one thing I’m sure of / (I can’t seem to find anybody home – waiting there for me to phone) / Everything’s turned around / Oh my my / oh my my / my my my / me oh my / I go out / come back in / now I see all around this town / (I’m always window-shopping all alone – stopping on the avenue) / I can’t find / no one here / who can make your kind of sound / (I can’t seem to find anybody home – waiting there for me to phone) / Everything’s turned around / Suddenly sunshine girl / rained on my whole wide world / It rained from the sky so high / just as you passed me by.
8.
Fiction 02:35
Thank you fiction / bring solace to my existence / thank you fiction / in so many ways / my beautiful ode to fiction / ‘cause I’m in good shape now / I will create / my own fiction / fiction, fiction / that’s what we came here for / fiction, fiction / that’s why we came to this world / train loaded with fiction / the only way to face fears / A train loaded with fiction / the only way I know / fiction, fiction / that’s what we came here for / fiction, fiction / that’s why we came to this world / A train loaded with fiction / the only way i know / a train loaded with fiction / say hi to my new world / fiction, fiction / that’s what we came here for / fiction, fiction / that’s why we came to this world.
9.
We are out of the swing of things / Is all just a lie / school and the game of life / most people know young is the new old / no-one will care about / all the suffering we went through / young is the new old / young is the new old / young is the new old / A former love of mine / left me for the sun of Cannes / or was it Corsica? / What the hell do I care right now? / She spent her holidays / looking for fit guys not like us / no-one will care about / all the suffering we went through / Sometimes I just feel / like Arnie fucking Grape / Water tower climbing / to reach the highest cloud / this life is not enough for you / it’s not enough for me / they pity you / they laugh at you / young is the new old / young is the new old / young is the new old.

about

“Spanish power-pop wunderkind"
The Line Of Best Fit

"Like his musical heroes the Posies and East River Pipe, he elevated
sounds that could have been overly genteel or so inward-looking as to be solipsistic into something everyone could celebrate."
Jim DeRogatis (WBEZ)

“El estilo de Ramirez Exposure refleja con naturalidad unas raíces musicales muy concretas. Sin embargo sus canciones suenan universales, porque Víctor Ramírez hace filigranas con las melodías y recrea a los clásicos a la vez que construye algo actual. Young Is The New Old solo puede ser calificado como una dulce sorpresa que en realidad no es inesperada. Es la obra de un autor maduro que ya forma parte de los estilos de los que se alimenta. Que un músico como Richard Lloyd (Television) toque en este álbum no es ni una casualidad ni una anécdota: es justicia poética.”
Rafa Cervera (El País)

"Todo un baño reparador para amantes del género, pero también para todo paladar necesitado de un refinado buqué pop."
Marcos Gendre​ ​(​Rockdelux)
