All The Differents

When all your hopes have been betrayed
and there's nothing left to save you but your fears
I'll be here

to take the pain upon myself
and still I'll smile well knowing that life is
deadly bliss

for after night must come a dawn
when all the tricks of night are gone
into the day and back to night
as from all wrongs emerges right

and so the cycles ever pass
like young bare feet o'er broken glass
the cause of suffering, cause of life
revealed within a single sight

and as we see we understand
reality dissolves to sand
till all the differents seem the same
the difference being in the name

Bruce Notes:
This song was written around 1981. It was another attempt to write something approachable. During this period, I was constantly trying to find ways to write rock music without incorporating all of the standard rock elements. The one that seems to be the hardest to do without is the rock drum set. Classical music existed for hundreds of years without a drum beat. The trick is to have something moving at any given instant so that the beat is constantly defined. The opening section of this song is one of several examples in this collection where the drum set is notably absent.

R. Mageddon Notes:
1978, some nice wordplay. Another cheerful examination of life. Contains one of my favorite lines depicting the bloody feet of children. Rock on.
