Marking one year since Russia started a war with Ukraine, country singer Brad Paisley released "Same Here," a new song featuring a sound bite from a conversation he had with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"On this one year anniversary of the invasion, I'm reminded of the ways we are all so similar," Paisley, 50, wrote Thursday on Instagram. "Here is the first song available from my new project. This is 'Same Here'. Featuring Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy."
Paisley's first song since 2021 is an acoustic guitar ballad that references universal themes, including traffic, "left-coast cliches" and bars "where you buy each other beers and solve all the world's problems." But it also includes a verse referring to Ukraine's comedian-turned-leader and the plight of his people.
