If I can be honest, last week was a roller coaster, with some of the highest highs and inspiration to some of the super stressed lows. There’s a lot happening and while some is good, some not so good, some exciting and some stressful. I get it, that’s life, but I needed something to carry me through.
On Tuesday, I ran across this acoustic cover of Hanson’s “MMMbop” and the 10 year old fan in me just had to listen.

As the week progressed and I felt my stress rise or like I needed something to help lift me back up, I took a blast to the past. To my childhood and one of the first bands that I really remember taking me to another place with music. It sounds so cheesy, especially consider the fact that I was maybe 8 or 9 but my love for music really started to grow during this time. That’s not a part of my past that I can (or necessarily even care to) forget.
Tell me does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll

Now, admit it – were you a Hanson fan?
What do you need for yourself today?
P.S. It should be known that in order to find some throwback photos (obviously not from my Hanson days), it required some MAJOR nostalgia. 🙂

Not familiar with that band, but I remember when I was younger listening to Jimmy Eat World’s song The Middle when I wanted to run away, I was 12 or something and it convinced me to come back home. Oh the times when I was young. Sometimes you just gotta do you until you’re ready

OMG I loved Jimmy Eat World! One of my good friends is still as much of a fan of them as ever!
Love this version of the song! It still gets me moving. Thanks for taking me back. 🙂

Absolutely! 🙂
I LOVED them! I grew up on a tiny island who was a few years behind in the music news, so I was a little older and still loved them. Oh man what a trip down memory lane! Thanks for that 🙂

Girl just as long you got some Hanson in your life! 😉
While I wasn’t into Hanson, I took care of twelve girls ages 7-17 while they were all obsessed. So, I introduced them to Backstreet Boys.
I agree. Sometimes listening to music can take me back to a simpler time (or, at least it seems more simple because I’m already through it).
I was never really into hanson but ALL of my friends were so I feel like I was by default.
MmmBop plays daily at work LOL but I am liking the new version much better!

I love this and I absolutely agree. I love busting out the 90’s and 2000’s music channel on Pandora. Things are so intense and stressful these days, a little bit of joy always helps. 🙂
