about

"Brutally funny and immaculately executed, Cambridge rapper / songwriter Diaz Grimm's (Ngāwhā, Ngāpuhi) new single 'Same Old Thing' could be the soundtrack to Aotearoa's forthcoming festival season. From the opening gentle guitar strums and vacuous inclusive words ("This one goes out to everybody who loves a good time") onwards, Diaz Grimm rattles off a seemingly endless list of painfully familiar on-stage clichés, leading the chorus "we love listening to the same old thing" — capped off with subtly searing artwork by Daniel Vernon (DARTZ). The self-described "world’s first indigenous CGI avatar rapper" launches his NZ On Air-funded double album Māui & the Sin on 28th November, along with an ambitious digital investment initiative (recently profiled over on The Spinoff HERE), and he's already got an infectious summer hit in the bag. Hit play on 'Same Old Thing'..." - Chris Cudby, UnderTheRadar.

lyrics

Counting all these sheep putting me to sleep
I know we love listening to the same old thing
When it’s you and I together, sing the same old song forever
Nothing feels better than the same old thing

Put your hands up in the air
Like you just don’t care.
Shed your empty tears,
Like you love being here.

Dance with me baby for no reason.
Loving you feel good in every season.
Break my heart if you say you’re leaving
Same old thing
Not complicated, not deceiving
Simple things that we believe in
From the morning till the evening
Same old thing
