Laos ((i/ˈlaʊs/, /ˈlɑː.ɒs/, /ˈlɑː.oʊs/, or /ˈleɪ.ɒs/)Lao: ສາທາລະນະລັດ ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ ປະຊາຊົນລາວ, pronounced [sǎːtʰáːlanalat pásáːtʰipátàj pásáːsón láːw] Sathalanalat Paxathipatai Paxaxon Lao), officially the Lao People's Democratic Republic (LPDR) (French: République démocratique populaire lao), is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, bordered by Myanmar (Burma) and China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, and Thailand to the west. Since 1975, it has been ruled by a Marxist and communist government. Its population was estimated to be around 6.8 million in July 2014.

Laos traces its history to the kingdom of Lan Xang, which existed from the 14th to the 18th century when it split into three kingdoms. In 1893, it became a French protectorate, with the three kingdoms—Luang Phrabang, Vientiane and Champasak — uniting to form what is now known as Laos. It briefly gained independence in 1945 after Japanese occupation, but returned to French rule until it was granted autonomy in 1949. Laos became independent in 1953, with a constitutional monarchy under Sisavang Vong. Shortly after independence, a long civil war ended the monarchy, when the Communist Pathet Lao movement came to power in 1975.

    When I Close My Eyes

    by: Lizz Wright

    When I close my eyes, I can almost taste you
    I can't face you, you're still too strong
    And it's no surprise, I can't erase you
    I tried to replace you but it all went wrong
    'Cause seeds don't crawl off the mountains
    And they don't fall, fall from the tree
    And they don't drop, not when you're counting
    Or maybe that's my sweet philosophy
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    When I close my eyes, I dream about you
    Tell me how to, tell me how not to
    Grab on to something new
    I looked my fate past through
    But instead I keep on holding on
    I keep holding on when I close my eyes
    I think about you, I just can't let you go
