Lyrics:
Jurei mentiras e sigo sozinho
Assumo os pecados
Os ventos do norte não movem moinhos
E o que me resta é só um gemido
Minha vida, meus mortos, meus caminhos tortos
Meu sangue latino
Minh'alma cativa
Rompi tratados, traí os ritos
Quebrei a lança, lancei no espaço
Um grito, um desabafo
E o que me importa é não estar vencido
Minha vida, meus mortos, meus caminhos tortos
Meu sangue latino
Minh'alma cativa 
--------------
I swore lies and I walk alone
I take the sins
North winds don't move mills
And all I have left is just a moan
My life, my dead, my crooked ways
my Latino blood
my captive soul
I broke treaties, I betrayed the rites
I broke the spear, launched it into space
A scream, a rant
And what matters to me is not to be defeated
My life, my dead, my crooked ways
my Latino blood
my captive soul

World out of This World follows Chain Smoking Cigarettes as the second single released from Night Windows' upcoming sophomore LP, A Week or Two That Will Sorely Be Missed. Full album release date coming soon.

lyrics:
All that squirming from your seat 
All the eyes that eye you up from underneath 
The weight of the earth 
& the way we’re so reckless with all things precious. 

Today is here 
A little bit warmer 
Getting closer; trading places. 
Dreaming wildly a world out of this world 
A world to relieve us from 

All that aches from in between 
The commute to work & the way back to the house 
Constant reminder 
We’ve been treading water in the rising tide. 

We wade in fear 
Recount our miscomings 
Held hostage; another year. 
Dreaming wildly a world out of this world 
A world to relieve us from all that needs to be done: 

Spilled the coffee in that doorway 
Clean it up another day 
The exhaust fans been broken a few years now 
Holding out for another house. 
Let someone else worry about our to-do list. 
We’re moving out. 

Today is here 
Clouds in the way 
Facing a painting; half afraid. 
Is there really anyone anywhere else who’d know my name? 
Wildly, in a world out of this world. 
Pretend, that there is no end 
Until the end.

"Something About You" by Alex Siegel
official video: https://youtu.be/esDquTsTRqM

thought i had it on lock but there's something about you
took me straight to the top now i'm living without you
days are strange when you're gone
something's changed

i was doing alright when i was on my own
but the love on my mind wouldn't leave me alone
days are strange i got lost
in the rain
there's something about you, something about you
there's something about you, something about you

the lights that shine
on the boulevard
the flowers that grow in the yard
make it hard to walk away
make it hard to walk away
cause there's something about you
there's something about you
