HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR HANSON!!

HAPPY 34TH BIRTHDAY TAYLOR HANSON!!!

 

Tay.......you're aging on us! Hahaha, but in all seriousness I love Taylor. He is truly such an incredible human being as well as a phenomenal and talented musician. I have so much love and respect for him and his brothers. I have always loved and admired Taylor's passion for music and what a confident performer he is. I love watching Taylor perform live (so far I've only had the opportunity to see him live via a computer screen but someday, mark my words, I will be there in person!). Taylor is someone who really cares about what he does. He cares about making good, quality music. He cares about people, especially his fans. Ugh, he's perfect!! ;) Taylor is just sweet and precious and passionate and talented and funny and a genuinely down to earth, humble good person. 

 

This is Hnet's "Weekly Picture"..... just look at how young they all are!! Is this not the most precious and adorable thing you've ever seen in your life!? Ohmygosh I love them so much!!

 

 

 In honor of sweet Tay's birthday I have to post one of my all-time favorite "Taylor" songs (and one of his newest. You can get this song on Hanson's Play EP available for instant digital download and for only $7 here! You won't regret it): Feeling Alive. The passion, the message, the instruments, the melody, Taylor's incredible voice.....all of these elements come together and create a masterpiece! This song gave me chills the first time I heard it back in May of 2016 and has left a lasting impression on my heart and soul. The words inspire and captivate me. This is truly a powerful song, so rare to find these days. Please listen and read through the lyrics. Let the words set you free! And may you feel truly alive!

 

 

 

I’ve never been a bleeder

Rarely a compete-r

I’m not the big boss

Always weighing the cost

 

I’m a man I’m not a ghost

I’m a guest without a host

My story isn’t sterile

Been on both sides of the barrel

 

I’m not beating my chest

Or claiming I’m the best

But tonight I know what I could be

 

Tonight I won’t stand still

Even if the cannons fire

I’m humble by your side

 

Tonight I won’t stand still

Even if we don’t survive

I’m humble at your side

 

And I’m feeling alive

 

Hey

 

Lift your hands up high

Reach up to the sky

Let voices sing together

Watch the sound multiply

 

Lift your hands up high

Reach up to the sky

Let voices sing together

Watch the sound multiply

 

Hey

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

And I’m feeling alive

Ooh ooh ooh

 

Don’t say that I’m a leader

Don’t call me senorita

Don’t offer me a light

I need someone who can fight

 

I’m not a champion

I don’t want to be superman

Never stood behind a cause

Or said “hold the applause”

 

I must confess

I’ve been a man without a quest

But I heard my gut say

It’s your time to play

 

So tonight I won’t stand still

Even if the cannons fire

I’m humble by your side

 

Tonight I won’t stand still

Even if we don’t survive

I’m humble at your side

 

So lift your hands up high

Reach up to the sky

Let voices sing together

Watch the sound multiply

 

Lift your hands up high

Reach up to the sky

Let voices sing together

Watch the sound multiply

 

Hey

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I’m feeling alive

Ooh ooh ooh

 

Nobody’s got the answers

So I’m changing my plans because

I’ve fallen on my face

While just standing in place

 

When it’s all said and done

If we’ve lost or won

I’ll know I am not a faker

I’m a “I know what’s at stake-r”

 

I’ve said

Just about

All I can say

There’s just one act left in this play

 

Play!

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

And I’m feeling alive

Ooh ooh ooh

 

So lift your hands up high

Reach up to the sky

Let voices sing together

Watch the sound multiply

 

Lift your hands up high

Reach up to the sky

Let voices sing together

Watch the sound multiply

 

Lift your hands up high

Reach up to the sky

Let voices sing together

Watch the sound multiply

And I’m feeling alive
