Song: Thinking of You
Artist: Hanson, MMMBop (1996) & Middle of Nowhere (1997)

 About a year after Boomerang, the boys were back at it recording more music and honing their musical abilities with another demo album MMMBop. Recorded in late 1995, MMMBop (the album) was released March 17, 1996. This album contained the original versions of MMMBop, Thinking of You and With You in Your Dreams which would all later feature on Hanson's debut album Middle of Nowhere. 

Today, you get to "hear" the evolution of the song Thinking of You.

Have you ever stood outside a picket fence
You can see through
But you can't get to the inside, oh
You sit there and wait
I look at you and anticipate
What we could be and what we could do

Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time

I'm carrying this heavy load
Don't know what to do
The only thing I know
Is I'm in love with you
Fly with the wings of an eagle
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you

Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time

No matter how high, no matter how low
I'll be thinking of you, oh
No matter what I do, no matter where I go
I'll be thinking of you, oh
No matter how high, no matter how low
I'll be thinking of you, whoa oh
No matter what I do, no matter where I go
I'll be thinking of you, oh
You'll be on my mind, oh

Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Oh

 Fly the wings of an eagle
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Oh
You'll be on my mind all the time
Oh
You'll be on my mind
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Check out this Evolution of With You in Your Dreams I did two years ago!

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...
