HAPPY, HAPPY HANSON DAY!!!

Today is the "birthday" of the most incredible band in the entire world, HANSON! 18 years ago today Hanson's Middle of Nowhere came out, May 6, 1997. And in an MMMBop, they changed everything!
 
 
Being an extremely new fan to a band that has been around longer than half my lifetime, I am continually amazed and my admiration and genuine love for this band and the incredible music they have created over these past 18 years just grows exponentially. They are a true success story in my book.

I am thankful every day to have come across this fantastic band. Never knew watching TV could be so inspiring ;) I was watching an episode of Cupcake Wars one day when I saw three, cute brothers come out as the guest judges. I was so impressed with them, I looked them up and I was hooked! They are now a huge part of my life! And I couldn't be happier :) I mean, have you been reading this blog? More than half of my posts have been Hanson related. Their songs have changed my life in a way. (Check out my post I did for Hanson Day EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO TODAY!!)

Today I took my dog out on his daily walk and listened to two songs from each of the Hanson albums:
 
Middle of Nowhere
 
1. MMMBop (of course!)
 
Snowed In (yes, I was listening to Christmas songs in May....don't judge me!)
 
 
This Time Around
 
1. This Time Around
 
Underneath
 
1. Underneath
2. Strong Enough to Break
 
The Walk
 
1. The Walk
 
Shout It Out
 
1. Waiting for This
2. Musical Ride
 
Anthem
 
 
Music Made for Humans (FAN CLUB 2014 EP)
 
1. On the Road
2. Panic in the Streets
 
 
I chose each of these songs 1) as the featured track title of the album it was named after and 2) an additional song that I just love a whole lot. It was really tricky narrowing that selection down!
 
Listening to these songs in order, from their oldest album to their most current music was so awesome! It just really shows how far they've come and that they have yet to disappoint.
 
I also spent the day cleaning my disaster of a room and listening to *NEW* Hanson songs I had never heard before! 18 years of music requires a lot of catching up! My favorites include: Make Believe, Lay Me Down, Hope it Comes Soon (this one is my favorite!), I Almost Care, & Coming Back for More.
 
I love this band. More than words can adequately express. Thank you for everything Hanson! Keep rocking!
 
The song that started it all....
 
 
I was literally hooked in an MMMBop ;)
 
1997 - FOREVER!
 
 
FANSON 4 LIFE!

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w...

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan...

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In thei...
