"All the Same" came first on the Australian band Sick Puppies' self-titled EP, then a year later led off their 2007 album Dressed Up as Life as its first single. It's a power ballad that builds from a hush to a heave, the guitars swelling behind a vocal full of bruised feeling.
The song got an unexpected second life through the Free Hugs Campaign: the first of its 3 videos simply follows Juan Mann, the Sydney man who started it, and the second mixes his hugs with footage of the band live. The third tells a stormy love story, and ends with the band playing on in the rain. It reached No. 8 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, and the radio edit trims parts of the second and third verses.
