Hanson Month 2020 Day 5

Song: River
Artist: Hanson, MMMBOP (pre-fame album) & Live From Albertane (1998)
A quick throwback song! This song first appeared on one of Hanson's pre-fame albums (MMMBop, 1996). The boys polished the song up a bit and then released it again on their Live From Albertane (1998) album. It's actually quite good and catchy (and I was just reminded this song existed thanks to youtube) so I decided I should share it before moving on to This Time Around.

Definitely don't get the beginning and ending of this video (what in the actual heck!?) but I do find it funny that Weird Al is in this and then collaborated with the boys years later in 2010 in their Thinkin' Bout Something video!
Lately we've been talkin' 'bout who we are
Seems we don't know anymore
And all this time that we've been thinkin'
At night I've been dreamin' about you

And I know you don't believe me when I say
I'll love you 'till the end - forever and a day

And I guess we'll never know
(Never know)
Exactly where this river's gonna flow
And I guess we'll never understand
(Oh)
Until we reach that promised land
So I guess we'll
I guess we'll never know

Well people say that we're sweethearts
They say nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
Well I don't know about you
But this thing we're going through
Is tearing me in two

And I know you don't believe me when I say
I'll love you 'til the end - forever and a day

And I guess we'll never know
(We'll never know)
Exactly where this river's gonna flow
And I guess we'll never understand
(Understand)
Until we reach that promised land
So I guess we'll
I guess we'll never know

We've had our highs and lows
But we let our feelings flow
Into the sea
Well these feelings come and go
But if we let our feelings show
This river just might flow to you and me, yeah!

I guess we'll never know
Exactly where this river's gonna flow
And I guess we'll never understand
(Understand)
Until we reach that promised land
So I guess we'll
I guess we'll never know
We'll never know
Yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa...



Original version (1996)

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...
