23rd Hour shares “Same Things”
Written by Sherry-Lynn Lee of 23rd Hour
It was recorded at Phase One Studios and it isurrently being featured in the Apple Jazz Radio Station and racking up thousands of plays.
Sherry-Lynn provided us with the story behind this lovely track:
“I was inspired to write this song about a friend of mine who was in an interracial relationship and her family strongly disapproved. It was a difficult time for her. It was hard for her to know that her relationship was causing her family anxiety, but at the same time, she was very upset by the fact that her family, the people she grew up with and loved, could make such racist comments. The other issue was, how does she talk about that to her love without making him feel bad? Without giving him reasons to hate her family? Should she worry about hurting her family when they were clearly in the wrong? That’s what the verses are about. The pre-chorus goes “maybe it’s right to think we deserve better”, meaning we deserve the right to be in love with whoever we choose. The chorus emphasizes that we can be very compatible despite apparent differences.”
