Music is my Therapy

Song: Peace On Earth Artist: Hanson Such a beautiful song!! This one is a "Hanson original." I love that they wrote a song about the true meaning of Christmas, which is the birth and life of our Lord and Savior, the King of Kings, Jesus the Christ. And yet, they were still able to keep it upbeat and "rock n' roll" sounding without being too crazy and disrespectful to the subject matter. Hanson truly has outdone themselves with this album and I am so happy I have it in my Christmas collection! It was worth the year long wait! Do  you  know  the  reason  for   the  season? Do you know the reason for the season? How the heavens came down to the earth Bringing hope for all who will receive it A sacrifice that forever changed the world And the shepherds and kings They would sing out rejoicing And they fell to their knees When they heard the angel's voices Singing peace on earth Good will towards men There's a newborn king Born in Beth...

Song: Winter Wonderland Artist: Hanson A classic song with a Hanson twist! So much fun!! Now if it would only snow..... Sleigh bells ring Are you listening In the lane Snow is glistening A beautiful sight We're happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland Gone away, is the blue bird Here to stay, is the new bird He sings a love song As we go along Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say are you married We'll say no man But you can do the job When you're in town Later on We'll conspire As we groove by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we've made Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman Until the other kiddies knock them down Later on We'll conspire As we groove by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we've m...

Song: All I Want For Christmas Artist: Hanson HANSON   SLAYS   THIS   MODERN   CLASSIC!!!  Oh my goodness! The first time I listened to this cover of a most iconic song, I about screamed! It is  AMAZING!  It's  BETTER  than the Mariah version (in my most humble opinion). I  LOVE  the rock n' roll elements they added to it (there is a drum sequence in there that just kills me it's so great!). Hanson are musical, magical elves who bring Christmas joy and magic to everything they do!!  I  LOVE  THEM  SO  MUCH! An actual version of the studio recording! Whoo-hoo!! I don't want a lot for Christmas There's just one thing that I need I don't care about those presents Underneath the Christmas tree I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you, you, baby All I want for Christmas is you, baby I don't want a lot for Christmas There...

Song: Happy Christmas Artist: Hanson This song is so cute! It features their children and for some reason the sound of this song, be it the children's voices or the old "record" sounding sound (haha), it reminds me of John Lennon's  Happy X-Mas (War is Over).  It's such a sweet song and captures the feeling of Christmas in it's simplicity and purity. It's short and sweet and makes you feel like a kid again! Also, in the video below Taylor says "Think of it like a Muppet song, just like, sing it out obnoxiously!"  YES!!  This song totally makes me think of the  Muppet's  too! I love, love, love that Taylor said that!! You don't get to hear the children in this live version (obviously). But I like how is sounds with the boys and the crowd, super festive and fun! So happy Christmas So happy Christmas I love you all over again It may be years before you will ever know it The greatest Christmas gift is love In all the ways we sho...

Song: Someday At Christmas Artist: Hanson I have always loved this sweet song. And how appropriate it is for this year in particular! Taylor does such a beautiful job on lead vocal. I love the sound of the organ too. Very Hanson ;) This album is just  FULL  of different and unique Christmas songs. It's balanced so well and just so much fun to listen to! Merry Christmas to  US  Fansons! Someday at Christmas men won't be boys Playing with bombs like kids play with toys One warm December our hearts will see A world where men are free Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars When we have learned what Christmas is for When we have found what life's really worth There'll be peace on earth Someday all our dreams will come to be Someday in a world where men are free Maybe not in time for you and me But someday at Christmas time Someday at Christmas we'll see a land With no hungry children, no empty hand One happy morning people will share Our world whe...

Song: Please Come Home For Christmas Artist: Hanson Zac  KILLS  it on this song! Enough said! So good. These live versions have actually been really fun! It's like experiencing one of the Hanson Christmas concerts! Bells will be ringing this sad sad news Oh what a Christmas to have the blues My baby's gone I have no friends To wish me greetings once again Choirs will be singing "Silent Night" Christmas carols by candlelight Please come home for Christmas Please come home for Christmas If not for Christmas by New Years night Friends and relations send salutations Sure as the stars shine above But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear The time of year to be with the ones you love So won't you tell me you'll never more roam Christmas and new Years will find you home There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain And I'll be happy, happy once again Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain And I'll be happ...

Song: Til New Years Night Artist: Hanson Here's the classic Hanson rock n' roll Christmas song of the album! It reminds me of  Everybody Knows the Claus   in it's creativity and fast-paced beat. It's really fun to jam to while baking some holiday goodies (or working those goodies off on the treadmill ;) It's a perfect "Ike song" too, suits him well! I guess live versions are all we're going to get.... I got my invitation December 25 Split a taxi with an Eskimo to North Pole Drive Told the driver I don't wanna be late Can you go a little faster Drop me off at the gate I need a totty for my body 'Cause, baby, it's cold outside Knocked on the door, "Hello, Mrs. Claus." Ruby red lips like the Wizard of Oz Two wooden soldiers they're checking the list And everybody's dancing to the peppermint twist Gonna do it right, This ain't no silent night Once we get Santa on his sleigh, on his sleigh We p...
