A lot of things can happen in ten years, many births, many deaths graduating from 3 school...alot of things but how can i summarise the past 10 years?? who ever would have thought that I would still be following hanson 10 years later, still acting like im 12?
ITs crazy to say that these boys/men have become my life but its true. I follow them like its a religion. I work for them without being paid, i pay them 40 dollars a year to be apart of the elite and in the fanclub. my aunt said it best when she said i was crazy because i am. Why have i let this happen to my life? Oh yeah i remember, when those boys/men come out on stage and u hear the opening chords of Great Divide or In a Way or any song, there's this rush of energy that really unless you are there, you wouldnt understand. Knowing that everyone of those people in that room are there for the same reason, is an incredible feeling.
many people think im crazy because of all that i do for them. i run the NJST and the DEST, i drive for hours on end to go to a show and those hours on end, arent even at a normal hour, most of the time its like 4 in the morning. and its not so much fighting for the front, it more liek hanging out with the friends that i only see at shows...10 years ago today, the album that changed all of our lives was released, It has been great being a fan for me these past 10 years, it has enabled me to meet many of my bestest/closest friends. I still cant believe that one song about a made up word brought us together. I luv u guys and i hope you have a great day...Thanks for the 10 years of memories...heres to another 10 years!
Here's some quotes that remind me why i am a fan:
"No one really knows what MMMBop means, its about relationships. And those people who are there till the end. You guys are our MMMBop" -Taylor Hanson
"bands like hanson come around once in a lifetime. every time i listen to them i feel like i am in on the biggest secret, that i'm one of the lucky ones who understands what so many people fail to hear. they never cease to amaze me. i know that as long as hanson keeps producing music, i will always be a fan. it's the greatest craziness i've ever known."
Don't tell us we don't have a clue because you are scared that the melody is in our veins. Don't tell us to stop chasing because you have no tour bus to follow. Don't tell us to stop dreaming because you realized you never took the time to fall in love with anything but yourself. Don't tell us we aren't serious because we will show you the brands on our skin. Don't tell us to grow up because you didn't have a silly orange CD to help you through your adolescence. And last but not least, don't tell us we won't survive because we'll all tell you that the music lives. The music lives.
You never forget your first love, whether it was the boy next door or the triple-brother act from Tulsa, Oklahoma, called Hanson.
itz days like today that make being a fan completely worth it. we wait days, weeks, months, and even years, just to get new music. we get teased and tormented for going to best buy and buying the latest cd, but we just shrug it off. we may get upset, but we never show it. but in the end, when i am the one in my room listening to the newest hanson cd, and i have a smile as big as the world on my face, i'm the one that won. im the one who feels happier than ive ever felt. the fact that one band can affect someones life so completely is amazing. so thank you. thank you for being the constant that makes me happy.
so they say...watch me bleed
"Music is about life and emotions and I want people to really, really feel that. I'll be satisfied when I feel like I know I've affected somebody, changed somebody, and they walk out going, 'ah shit that was good,'" -Taylor
"Music cant disappear. Music is the soundtrack of peoples lives. It guides you, it carries you, it helps you through the hard times. It's indispensable." -- Zachary Hanson
Our fans have so much love for us...so I can say if you want to find real love,look in the hearts of our fans and you'll definitely find some there.~Zac Hanson
some people put us through HELL for liking hanson. they look down on us for being
true to something that is important to us. we get teased and tormented, but we
still stand up for what means the most to us. our college roomates make fun of us
to all their friends. our highschool classmates call us babies and tell us to grow
up, but no matter what we stay true. hanson is more than just a band, its a
something. a something that has changed each and every one of our lives in more way
than we can ever begin to explain. so if we walk away from you when you start to
tease us, just remember, that in the end, a hanson fan always wins, because we have
eachother. we may want to kill eachother just to get close to one of the guys, but
no matter what hanson fans win because in the end we have each other and this band... We wont go down..
"to our fans, thank you for all the countless hours spent in line, miles traveled to different cities, states and countries and for showing something true in a world void of passion." - Hanson
Thank-you Ike, Tay and Zac for ten years of music, of something to believe in and turn to when things arent good. Thank you for that silly orange cd that helped define who i am and what i believe in, thank you for giving me the best friends a girl could ask for...
And so they say....I could never let you go after all that youve been to me....
*ha bet u all thought i was gonna say "and so they say watch me bleed"
