about

This song was born from the feeling of pure loneliness, the desperation for another soul and the process of embracing your own company. Often we forget the importance of being okay on our own and the amazing things that can come from the time you spend with yourself. "Lonely for a while" is a slow and short song, with heavy emotions that reach you through the beautiful charismatic voice of Bruna. Its not a typical single but fits perfectly within the planned line up we have for our 1st album.

lyrics

come on inside
tell me about your night
sip from that glass of wine
filled with lemonade
'cause alcohol doesn't taste right

I put on your favorite song
take you by the hand
to the middle of the room
slip off your shoes
slide on the tile
forget we can't dance for a while

at 2 a.m.
you see how late it got
you find a place
to see your reflection on
and you notice
how alone you are
and you feel
how alone it is

you've been dancing
all alone
by yourself
in your room
but that's fine
you've been lonely for a while

about

alex and us Lisbon, Portugal

Alex, we think, is the ghost that keeps haunting us to create and play. Sometimes we opt to just fear it and hide. Ocasionally we are drawn to release stuff that hopefully other haunted souls can relate to.
All is fun.
