HAPPY HANSON MONTH!!

-
I can't believe I haven't said anything about this here yet but guess what!?!?
 
I AM GOING TO HANSON DAY 2017!!!
IT'S REALLY HAPPENING!!!
 
As you can see, my blog has been "Hansonized" in honor of Hanson Day (May 6th), Hanson Day 2017 (May 18th-20th) and because Hanson is launching a worldwide tour beginning this June "THE MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE WORLD TOUR" celebrating 25 years as aband! 25 years! They're as old as me! The fact that I get to go be a part of such an iconic and HUGE year for Hanson (celebrating the 20th year of MMMBOP!) is just so exciting!!
 
From now until May 17th (the day I fly out for Hanson Day!) I am going to dedicate each and every single one of my posts to my boys, Hanson! I want to celebrate them while also helping get myself ready for my Hanson Day weekend by listening to their music all month long :)
 
So let's kick things off with my all-time most favorite Hanson song ever:
 
Strong Enough to Break
 
I can't believe I haven't posted this song yet! This song resonated with me the first time I heard it. I fell in love with it because I related to it so personally. To me, this is a song about overcoming. Whatever obstacle or trial you are facing in your life, you can overcome. You can be strong enough to break a bad habit. You can be strong enough to break an addiction. You can be strong enough to break a fear. I love, love, love the lyrics! They are so metaphorical and are just the perfect descriptions of the battles and difficulties we all face while trying to "overcome." For me, I am trying to overcome fear. Anxiety. Depression. This song inspires me! This song is my go-to anthem in the face of my fears! I will love this song forever! It has imprinted itself on my heart. It's message is one that I have applied to my life and that I desire to share with anyone who needs it, which is EVERYONE! Please enjoy this incredible song. I hope it touches you the way it has me.
 
 
I don't feel myself today
Just a figure in a big monopoly game
Struggle is the price you pay
You get just enough just to give it away
I'm sinking but I'm floating away
Throw me a line so I can anchor my pain
The fabric is about to fray
The fabric is about to fray

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

Been running through my mind today
Scenarios to add to your hypocrisy
No one ever takes the blame
But everyone is searching for a cure to the pain
Nothing ever seems to change
Oh, nothing ever seems to change
We just play like broken records in a deaf man's charade

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

Carry on just a pawn and the same old song
I'm still holding on

The fabric is about to fray

Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately

Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh, I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
 
I really hope they play this song at Hanson Day!! I want to hear it live!!

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

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 their enth
