"Window and the Watcher" was the first single from Final Conversation of Kings, the Butterfly Effect's third album, released in September 2008, a record that pushed the Australian band toward a more progressive rock sound than they'd tried before. The writing and arranging are credited to the band as a whole: Clint Boge sings lead, Kurt Goedhart plays guitar, Glenn Esmond bass and Ben Hall drums.

Forrester Savell produced, engineered and mixed it, and even sang backing vocals alongside Tyrone Noonan, who adds piano, electric piano and analog synth. Willie Eager's vibraphone and Bob Schultz's trumpet push the palette further out. It turned out to be the band's last album for 14 years, until IV in 2022.
