Not the Same

Liner Notes

About the Song

"Not the Same” is a song written by Lauren Lucas and Lisa McEwen for anyone missing someone during the holidays. It’s for when Christmasy doesn’t feel very Christmasy.

The track, produced by Brandon Adams, features a laid back, retro soul groove and gospel harmonies. Think if Allen Stone and Maggie Rose had a musical love child, this track would be it.

If you’re in the holiday spirit, then it’s the perfect addition to your holiday cooking or dinner playlist.

If you’re experiencing grief this holiday season, the song can’t promise to make the holidays any easier, but it can keep you company.

There’s one less stocking on mantle

I’m signing cards without your name

The neighbors down the street are having their party

I don’t want to, but I’ll go anyway

It’s not the same

It’s not the same

It’s not the same

Since you’ve been gone

The Santa photos are faded

But the memories are evergreen

I guess I'll get the boxes from the basement

But you’re not here to light the tree

So it’s not the same

It’s not the same

It’s not the same

Since you’ve been gone

Now it’s nothing but silent nights

And long cold days

Since you’ve been gone, it’s not the same

Yeah, it’s nothing but silent nights

And long cold days

Since you’ve been gone, it’s not the same

It’s not the same

It’s not the same

It’s not the same

Since you’ve been gone
