Gov’t Mule releases “Same As It Ever Was” single

Gov’t Mule has released a new single called “Same As It Ever Was.” The song is from the band’s upcoming album Peace… Like A River out June 16th, which is available for Pre-Order.

“‘Same As It Ever Was’ is such an opus, an expansive piece. It goes in all these different directions, but lyrically and conceptually it makes sense to be the opening track,” said Warren Haynes. “Life throws challenges at you when you least expect it, but in some ways, the disruption of the lockdown period is no different than what could happen at any given moment. We’ve all dealt with what in some cases seem like insurmountable hardships, but in my lifetime, the pandemic is the first time that the entire planet went through it together. The whole message of the tune is we’ve come a long way, but now we’re on the other side and life is normal, life is good. Same as it ever was.”
