| Song by The Midnight | |
| from the album Vehlinggo Presents: 5 Years | |

Sometimes She Smiles[1] is a song by The Midnight. It is the fifth track from the compilation album Vehlinggo Presents: 5 Years.[2]
The song was written by Tyler Lyle and produced by Tim McEwan. It has a running time of two minutes and 39 seconds and is in the key of C major.
Aaron Vehling created the website Vehlinggo in 2014 originally to dive into the world of film and television music.[3] Over the years, Vehling started drifting into coverage about various genres of electronic music, including house, disco, and synthwave. He has interviewed and published content about many popular artists in the synthwave genre, including The Midnight. In 2019, Vehling celebrated the site's fifth anniversary by curating unreleased songs from various artists he has covered over the years into a compilation. The compilation, titled Vehlinggo Presents: 5 Years, was released on November 1, 2019.[2]
The Midnight contributed Sometimes She Smiles, a song originally by Tyler Lyle from the deluxe edition of his album The Native Genius of Desert Plants.[4] According to Lyle, the version produced by Tim McEwan that was included on the compilation uses a loop that was created around the time of the production of Days of Thunder, The Midnight's first EP.[1] In the digital liner notes for the compilation, Lyle shared the inspiration and meaning of the song:[5]I was living in Santa Monica, four blocks from the ocean. I’d been working a lot, but there wasn’t much happening with music. I left my fiancée in the apartment and took a walk to reflect on my momentary unhappiness. On a park bench at Ashland and Barnard Way, I wrote the lyrics — not intending it to be a song — to ‘Sometimes She Smiles.’ I think it was an unconscious drive to recalibrate the ‘Doing/Knowing’ part of me (that always seems to lead) with the ‘Being/Feeling’ part of myself (that I always seem to be lacking). Alternatively, it could just be a fictional conversation between me and my wife about my stubbornness. Either way, the bones that are breaking in his head are always mine, and the more evolved response (which is usually my wife’s) is just to smile — knowingly.
Lyrics
He spoke of the truth and how it might save her
And she spoke of the trees in Vermont in the winter
He said we must strive for faith through devotion
While she dreams of the smell of the Indian Ocean
He spoke in philosophical structure
She spoke of a vineyard, she spoke of her lover
When he does not understand
You can hear bones breaking in his head
When she does not understand
Sometimes she smiles
When he does not understand
You can hear bones breaking in his head
When she does not understand
Sometimes she smiles
He said reason is what separates man from the beasts
And she kissed him and put him at ease

Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live is the first live album by The Midnight. It was initially released on April 22, 2023, exclusively to independent record stores as part of Record Store Day 2023[1] before getting a widespread release on September 1, 2023.[2]
Background
On February 13, 2023, a short soundbite of Tyler Lyle from a live show was shared to the band's socials, with a cryptic date of February 16 given.[3] On that day, Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live was officially announced with a small trailer and was slated for release on April 22, exclusively on vinyl through independent record stores as part of Record Store Day 2023.[4] The songs on the album were recorded throughout various shows during The Midnight's 2022 tours in North America and Europe.
1300 copies of Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live were pressed across three different colors - red, white, and blue - with the color not being known until opening the record.[5][6] The album was promoted with a live acoustic performance by Lyle at Criminal Records in Atlanta, GA on the day of release.[7][8] It was hinted that the album would be made available again at some point in the future.[8][9]
On August 15, 2023, it was revealed that Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live would have a full release on all platforms on September 1.[2] Heroes was released as a single from the album on the same day and was accompanied by a corresponding live music video. In addition to vinyl, the album was also available in cassette form for the first time. The digital and cassette versions contain eight new tracks in addition to the eight included on the original vinyl release.
