Track of the Week: “The Same” by Allison Weiss

Allison Weiss is a talented musician and songwriter who has caught my attention recently. “The Same” is from her new album “New Love” that was released in October.

This song is about the thoughts that run around our brains. Her lyrics mostly describe sad or depressing thoughts, such as what someone wants to change about themselves. The main point of the song is that no one is alone in feeling less than perfect; everyone wants to change something, and everyone is the same.

The music for this song is very simple, which I enjoyed. That way, Weiss’s poetic lyrics have the spotlight. One of my favorite lines in the song is “We all have feelings we can’t explain, we’re all a little bit the same.”

Weiss’s angelic voice with the truthful lyrics makes this song so great. It’s about something real, something people struggle with. The song reminds people they are not alone, and sometimes that’s all people need.
