Same Difference are siblings Sarah and Sean Smith from Portsmouth, Hampshire. Sean, 24, left home at the age of 17 to perform on cruise ships and has performed in a number of pantomimes, as well as an ABBA tour group. Sarah, 21, left home at 16 to attend the Italia Conti Academy, completing her diploma in 2007. Prior to appearing on X Factor, Sarah had already worked as a professional model and appeared on Nickelodeon TV show Genie in the House.
In early 2008 Same Difference toured the country as part of the massive X Factor Live tour. The tour visited packed arenas all over the UK, with the duo recreating their best loved performances from the show, receiving enthusiastic reviews from fans and critics alike.
Following the X factor tour, Same Difference went on to sign an album deal with Simon Cowell's label, Syco, and recorded their debut album with some of the biggest names in pop - Pete Waterman (Kylie, Steps, Donna Summer), Jörgen Elofsson (Britney Spears, Leona Lewis, Westlife), and Quiz/Larossi (Alexandra Burke, Pussycat Dolls, The Saturdays). Their debut single 'We R One' shot into the charts at 13, and was shortly followed by the album 'POP', which has so far sold in excess of 180,000 copies and been certified Gold in the UK.
Now with new management, a new record deal with PopLife Records and a new beginning, things couldn't look any better for Same Differece. International fans can look forward to the release of 'POP' in 2010, with a revised tracklisting featuring new songs. UK fans can look forward to the second album, which will be released in summer 2010.

Breaking Free
Same Difference Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
You know the world can see us
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe
We're breakin' free!!
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
We're breakin' free
Uhh-uhh-uuuhhh
Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling
Uuhhh, in our very souls
Very soul,oh-oohh
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So every one can see
We're breakin' free!!
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying,
So we're breaking free
We're breaking free
Uhh-uhh-uuuhhh
Yeah-Yeah
Ohh-ohh
Now's the time
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
Ooohhh,We're breaking free
Uuuhhh, yeah
More than hope
More than faith
This is true
This is fate
And together we see it comin'
More than you
More than me
Not a want, but a need
Both of us breakin' free
Soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free
Breaking free, yeah-yeah-yeah
Were runnin'
Oohhh, climbin'
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
Ooohhh, we're breaking free
Oh-oh-ooohhh
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
The lyrics of Same Difference's song Breaking Free talk about the power of believing in oneself and breaking free from the expectations and limitations imposed by society. The first verse talks about reaching for the stars and not being afraid to try if one truly wants to achieve something. It also acknowledges that people often perceive us in different ways than who we truly are, and this can create distance between us and those around us. However, love and faith can bridge that gap and give us the strength and courage to pursue our dreams.
The chorus is all about the exhilaration of breaking free and soaring high, beyond what we may have thought was possible. It talks about a connection so intense that it lifts us up and makes us feel alive in our very souls. The song also emphasizes the importance of taking that step, of reaching for something that may seem unreachable, of climbing higher and higher until we get to where we want to be. The final line of the song again reminds us that the world may see us differently, but what truly matters is believing in ourselves and in each other.
Line by Line Meaning
We're soarin', flyin'
We're rising and soaring, flying up high
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
There is nothing we can't achieve if we try hard enough, and we are breaking free of any barriers that may hinder us.
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
The perception the world has of us is not who we really are.
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts
We are growing apart until we are two separate entities, with no connection between us.
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe
The unwavering belief and support that you give me strengthens and empowers me to believe in myself.
Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Can you feel the momentum building and the feeling of being unstoppable just like a wave in the mighty ocean?
Connected by a feeling
Uuhhh, in our very souls
Very soul,oh-oohh
We are connected by a deep and unexplainable feeling entrenched within our souls.
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So every one can see
We are rising and ascending, rising to great heights so that everyone can see what we are capable of.
More than hope
More than faith
This is true
This is fate
And together we see it comin'
This moment is more profound and significant than mere hope and faith because it is fate, and we both can see everything happening together as it unfolds.
More than you
More than me
Not a want, but a need
Both of us breakin' free
This is not just your journey or mine, but it's a journey we both need to embark on together as we break free.
Were runnin'
Oohhh, climbin'
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
We are constantly pushing ourselves, running and climbing to reach to the destination where we can be our best selves.
Now's the time
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
Ooohhh, we're breaking free
This is the moment we've been waiting for, and we are breaking free of everything holding us back. We are breaking free to achieve our destiny.
