about

''All the same'' is a pop-rock song with a slight West African influence. The song was written after hearing an interview with West African guitarist and songwriter Habib Koite who was explaining that when he went on tour to many places, no matter where it is in the world, most people ''are the same'
The song is about whats connects us as humans rather than the differences.

lyrics

I saw an old friend and we got talking
He's out on the road every day.
visiting so many different places.
People of many colours, creed, and race.
He said 'I've come to learn the differences in culture.
Where the pace of life moves differently in time.
Some will dance to forget their troubles.
Some will strive to toe the line.

Underneath apparent differences, we go to.
all that's beyond what status names.
To understand what joins us together.
is the very thing that makes us all the same.

we feel hurt when we're faced with misfortune.
And closeness when a lover is a friend.
When cut we all bleed the same colour.
and find peace when war is at an end.

Underneath apparent differences, we go to.
All that's beyond what status names.
To understand what joins us together is the very thing that makes us all the same.

Was so good to see you, my old friend.
We all need some rest from time to time.
Go on back home to your family to re-address the balance in your life.

We all have our place that we call heaven.
That we experience in many different ways.
Experience it joins us together.

It's the very thing that makes us all the same.
