Strong Enough to Break by Hanson

Just ripped the Best of Hanson: Live and Electric CD this past holiday season during some down time and listened to this song for a couple of times today during my commute to work. I'm really impressed with this brothers, from tight drumming and Beatlesque vocal harmonies (not really Beatlesque, but I can't think of a word to describe how good their vocal harmonies are). The band's just amazing. For the Live and Electric album, the bass player does an awesome job as well. Makes me want to be a sessionist!!

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

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

Deeper by Hanson

One of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite albums.Michelle Branch does guest vocals! Awesome!!!

She moves like a tender kiss
And I can't stop feeling
She soothes with her tenderness
And I can't stop feeling
I even don't even know her name
But I can't stop feeling
She says that she feels the same
And I can't stop feeling
And if you let me try to tonight
You just might see that I'm

Falling deeper and deeper and deeper in love
And I'm feeling more and more and more and more and more alone

She turns chaos into art
And I can't stop feeling
A touch and I fall apart
And I can't stop feeling
I'm sounding like an old cliche
And I can't stop feeling
I love her in a thousand ways
And I can't stop feeling
But if you let me try tonight you just might see that I'm

Falling deeper and deeper and deeper in love
And I'm feeling more and more and more and more and more alone

Every simple notion is poetry in motion
Can't you see it's pushing me over the edge
This wrecking ball you're holding
Could crush the heart you've stolen
I give you my devotion all over again
And if you let me try tonight you just might see that I'm

Falling deeper and deeper and deeper in love
And I'm feelin' more and more and more and more and more alone

Get Up and Go by Hanson

Yes... I am a fan of Hanson, but not since their mmmbop days. I was awestruck by 'Penny and Me' from their Underneath album and decided to go for it since it was available at a discount. Never was I expecting to encounter this collection of songs, from a band once marketed to compete with boybands. Get Up and Go is one of the catchiest songs I've heard from a while. Hanson is a lot better than most rock bands out there, and i now regret missing them when they hit the Philippine shores.

She plays guitar with her fingertips
She'll play your heart with her tender lips
She'll work it out until she makes the tips
And it's alright, yeah it's alright

Holding her tight in late December
I look in the stars and I remember
She doesn't mind when you offend her
And it's alright, yeah it's alright

Just a girl like you, and maybe just a
Just a guy like me, maybe we
Could take a walk on the wild side
Take a look and see

Get up and go

Just a girl like you, and maybe just a
Just a guy like me, maybe we
Could take a walk on the wild side
Take a look and take a look and go

Get Up and Go

What could I give when you've got all you need
And she looks at me like all I want's a little free
Every time I look at you it makes me see
That it's alright, yeah it's alright

We'll get away be in love we can make it better
All I need's a little time for us to get together
Happiness is just a step away
When it's alright, yeah it's alright

Just a girl like you, and maybe just a
Just a guy like me, maybe we
Could take a walk on the wild side
Take a look and see

Get up and go

Just a girl like you, and maybe just a
Just a guy like me, maybe we
Could take a walk on the wild side

Take a look and take a look and go
Ooh oh, ooh oh, won't you go
Ooh oh, ooh oh, won't you go
Ooh oh, ooh oh, won't you go

Take a look and, take a look and go

Seems like love has always found a way
But there's only so many hours in the day
All that I know is that you're here with me
And it's alright, yeah it's alright

Won't you tell me that you need me so bad
'Cause you are everything I've never had
Every time I look at you it hurts so bad
And it's alright, yeah it's alright

Just a girl like you, and maybe just a
Just a guy like me, maybe we
Could take a walk on the wild side
Take a look and see

Get up and go

Just a girl like you, and maybe just a
Just a guy like me, maybe we
Could take a walk on the wild side
Take a look and take a look and go

Get up and go
