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.

Shine on Forever
Same Difference Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm loosing my mind and I, never felt so low
Do you remember when we had it all
Do you see yourself inside, the image on your wall
[Chorus:]
I've gotta break out, what do you wanna see
The vision in my head, it takes me back where it used to be
Shine on forever, the picture is so clear
I've had the greatest moment, and the flashlight captures emotion
Shine on forever, when the colour fades to grey
I've had the sweetest memories, in my photo frame
I'm crashing and burning, someone throw me a line
What I had before is what I, looking to find
If your loosing your rhythm, put yourself in rewind
Go back to a place where you, are on a natural high
[Chorus:]
I've gotta break out, what do you wanna see
I wanna go back, just set your mind free
The vision in my head, it takes me back where it used to be
Shine on forever, the picture is so clear
I've had the greatest moment, and the flashlight captures emotion
Shine on forever, when the colour fades to grey
I've had the sweetest memories
In my photo frame, in my photo frame
Shine on forever, the picture is so clear
I've had the greatest moment, and the flashlight captures emotion
Shine on forever, when the colour fades to grey
I've had the sweetest memories
In my photo frame, in my photo frame
The lyrics to Same Difference's song Shine On Forever suggest a longing for the past and a desire to break free from the negative feelings that come with change. The song begins with the singer confessing that they are out of control and feeling low. They then ask if the listener remembers when they "had it all" and if they see themselves "inside, the image on [their] wall." These lines imply a longing for a time when things were simpler and the future was full of possibilities.
The chorus suggests that the singer wants to break out of their current situation and go back to a time when their mind was free. They mention a vision in their head that takes them back to where they used to be, suggesting that they have a clear picture of a better time in their mind. The second verse suggests that the singer is struggling to find their way back to the past and might need help. They ask for someone to throw them a line and help them get back to a natural high.
Overall, Shine On Forever seems to be a song about nostalgia and the desire to relive the past. It acknowledges the difficulties that come with change and the longing for a simpler time. The chorus suggests that it's possible to break free from negative feelings and return to a happier place in your mind, even if that place isn't a physical location. The song encourages listeners to hold onto their memories and the moments that make life worth living.
