THE SAME PARTY

Every December, lights go up,
the same old scene,
Red wine on ice,
and the evergreens.
You walk through the door,
it’s like time just stops,
We’re back to that moment,
we’re back on top.

CHORUS:
THE SAME PARTY,
but it feels brand new,
Every year’s a chance
to look back at me and you.
We laugh and we dance,
forget who we’re supposed to be,
At THE SAME PARTY,
where you and I are we.

I remember the first one,
under mistletoe's sway,
We promised forever,
then life got in the way.
Year after year,
through smiles and tears,
This party’s the one thing
that keeps us near.

Maybe this time,
we’ll win the fight,
Take what is wrong
and make it right.
Underneath the chandeliers,
Whisper all the hopes
that defeat our fears.

CHORUS:
THE SAME PARTY,
but it feels brand new,
Every year’s a chance
to look back at me and you.
We laugh and we dance,
forget who we’re supposed to be,
At THE SAME PARTY,
where you and I are we.

So here’s to next year,
and the next dance,
Here's to giving us both,
maybe one more chance.
Because at this party
through the holiday cheer,
We find the love lost
in the rest of the year.

So I’ll meet you next year,
same time and same place,
In this very crowd,
I will look for your face.
Because it’s THE SAME PARTY,
for us more than it seems,
It’s where we live out
our forgotten dreams.

CHORUS:
THE SAME PARTY,
but it feels brand new,
Every year’s a chance
to look back at me and you.
We laugh and we dance,
forget who we’re supposed to be,
At THE SAME PARTY,
where you and I are we.

From the first two lines, I thought you were talking about the Dems!
But no, it's another ray of joy and hope which is what this song totally conveys!

@billwhite51 4w

love that bass tag at the end. i dont think ive ever heard you get this close to an EDM piece, but I can see that dancefloor filled with ex couples celebrating their non-anniversaries . really good dance rhythms happening here.

Beautiful upbeat song, Jerry, start away grabs the listeners and take them to the cool party. Dance time. Fun time. Good time. Beautiful vocals, playing, instrumentation and atmosphere. Rock and roll. Energetic. Dynamic. Wonderful.

@sunfire 4w

Fun and upbeat. I like how this one is reflective but with energy that makes you wanna move those feet. Creative idea, it's the same party but it feels brand new. I like it and the words are descriptive which is good. Enjoyable sounds and vocals too.

@cindyrella 4w

Fantastic idea and that chorus is mighty fine! I think I might laugh or dance! Awesome song!

@sbs 4w

Like how you sing that first line of the chorus “the same party.” Those notes are repeated in other phrases. Really digging the vocal delivery of this melody overall. So pro! I feel like dancing at this party - lol!
