So Called Plan recorded two demos (in 2003 and 2004) and played gigs in Finnish punk clubs. At this point the band's music was melodic skate punk.
As the band had been playing together for a while, they started to expand their musical style over the limits of traditional punk rock. The music was still clearly punk, but it had elements of heavy metal, synth pop and even classical music in it.
During 2005 So Called Plan experienced big changes. The band signed a record deal with Finnish Hype Records, whose album distribution is made through Playground Music Scandinavia. At this time the band's guitarist Jussi had to start focusing more on his future career, whish resulted in him leaving the band. Fortunately So Called Plan found a new guitar player very soon, when an old friend Sauli Sipilä joined the group.
The debut album, Suburbian Symphony, was recorded during fall 2005. A video of the song Right Direction was also filmed. The first single got released in February 2006, and the whole album on March, 15th.

Same About The Sorrow
So Called Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anything Is Possible
This So-Called Miracle
CHORUS/INTRO:
It's gonna take a miracle
To give up my hope and get on with my life
Oh that mystic moment
A split-second stop
And with this miracle
Comes unwanted reality
'Cause this so-called miracle
Has turned into a tragedy
VERSE:
Baby, what ever did I do
To make you not only turn away
But turn, oh so far away
Never considering turning back
VERSE:
I need you to know I'll never smile
Until we reconcile
I know now that that won't happen
Somehow I'll try and cope
But I just can't get out of my head
That glimmer of hope
Everybody tells me I need time away from you
But your the only thing in my world
And that's the last thing I wanna do
CHORUS
VERSE:
Baby, whatever did I do
To make you not only go away
But twist every word I say
To make the tables turn...
VERSE:
You're sayin' I'm the one who's at the core
Yes, I'm the one who glanced at the door
But you're the one who turned the handle
Tried to burn the candle at both ends
At both ends you lead me
On and on and on
You really, really took me
Now you've left, my mind is gone
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
It's easy to give advice
When your heart's not in it
But the best thing for me to do is let go
But somehow I get lonely
It's hard to stand and face the crowd
Doin' a one-woman show
The song "Same About the Sorrow" by So Called Plan is about the emotions and struggles that come with heartbreak. The chorus indicates a feeling of hopelessness and a desire for a miracle to help the singer move on from the pain of the breakup. The lyrics suggest that the so-called miracle the singer had been hoping for has actually turned into a tragedy, indicating that perhaps the singer had been holding on to false hopes. The verses express the singer's confusion about why the relationship ended and her struggles to cope with the aftermath. The bridge highlights the difficulty of letting go and moving on, even when it may be the best thing to do.
Line by Line Meaning
It's gonna take a miracle
I need something supernatural to happen
To give up my hope and get on with my life
To lose faith and move on is unthinkable
Oh that mystic moment
That fleeting, unexplainable moment
A split-second stop
A sudden pause in time
Of my heart
Of my emotions and being
And with this miracle
With this unlikely event
Comes unwanted reality
Comes a harsh truth
'Cause this so-called miracle
Because this supposed miracle
Has turned into a tragedy
Has become a heartbreaking disaster
Baby, what ever did I do
Darling, what have I done
To make you not only turn away
To cause you to leave and not return
But turn, oh so far away
But to go so far away that you cannot be reached
Never considering turning back
Never thinking of coming back
I need you to know I'll never smile
I want you to understand that I will never be happy
Until we reconcile
Unless we mend our relationship
I know now that that won't happen
I have accepted that it is impossible
Somehow I'll try and cope
Somehow I'll attempt to deal with it
But I just can't get out of my head
But I cannot stop thinking
That glimmer of hope
That tiny spark of optimism
Everybody tells me I need time away from you
Everyone advises me to have a break from you
But your the only thing in my world
But you are all that matters to me
And that's the last thing I wanna do
And that is what I want to avoid
You're sayin' I'm the one who's at the core
You are accusing me of being the problem
Yes, I'm the one who glanced at the door
Yes, I am the one who considered leaving
But you're the one who turned the handle
But you are the one who opened that door
Tried to burn the candle at both ends
Tried to have it all and got burned out
At both ends you lead me
You led me on and on
On and on and on
Unceasingly
You really, really took me
You really had me
Now you've left, my mind is gone
Now that you're gone, I'm lost
It's easy to give advice
It is simpler to offer counsel
When your heart's not in it
When you don't have feelings invested
But the best thing for me to do is let go
But what's best for me is to move on
But somehow I get lonely
But I still feel alone
It's hard to stand and face the crowd
It's challenging to face everyone
Doin' a one-woman show
Being all by myself
