Story behind the song
New version (2007) of a song written and recorded in my university years (1979-84) when thoughts in the late night often drifted awy from the text books. It seems I do remain the same.
Lyrics
Outside it's still a rainy day The drops here on my window reflect the street light just like a glittering mosaic They could be stars upon a foreign heaven And in the middle of the night there's just the ticking of my watch to tell me we're moving on and on in time but for ever and ever remain the same It's been a long and lazy day All the things I should have done are left untouched, but it seems I rather just sit down and think of everything to come some day. They say I keep dreaming all too much 'bout things I wouldn't have to care about, and I must confess: I guess they're right But looking back on the past I've remained the same Then when I look around myself I get a feeling I'm no longer present I see it all like on a screen where everything appears so clearly for me Stopped at a painting on the wall Oh, did it always look that silly way? I just never noticed it before though of course it has always remained the same For each new day that comes around I have the hope I'll get a little wiser Life is to learn about yourself And all the rest is there to bring new questions Upon an unlaid path we walk until we reach the point of termination And on that day I'm sure we'll find throughout a lifetime a man remains the same remains the same

Hi Claes, Listened to your song "Remains the same". So true my friend! The basic elements are always the same. But time and ideas changes us all bit by bit. Strange things from yesterday will be the standard tomorrow. Sometimes it's easy to believe .... Your song is quite special my friend, like your style! Allt the best, Svante / Clubsville
