1. A pop … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists which have used the name Hanson
1. A pop rock group from Oklahoma, United States
2. A funk rock group from the United Kingdom active in the 1970's.
1. Hanson is an American pop rock band from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Isaac Hanson (born November 17, 1980) pianist and vocalist Taylor Hanson (born March 14, 1983), and drummer and vocalist Zac Hanson (born October 22, 1985). Their work has spanned many different genres, including rock, blues, folk, and pop. They are most noted for their Grammy-nominated 1997 hit single, “MMMBop.” Their 1997 album Middle of Nowhere (the band’s third recorded album and first major studio album, also nominated for a Grammy) was met with critical acclaim and went on to achieve multi-platinum status. The group’s subsequent major effort, This Time Around showcased the brothers’ considerable talent and artistic growth, receiving wide critical acclaim for its bluesy/classic-rock and soulful pop harmonies. The album failed to repeat the commercial success of Middle of Nowhere however, only achieving gold status. The album has since been considered a trend-setter and precursor for such acts as Michelle Branch, John Mayer, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Vanessa Carlton and Eisley.
After many promotional and artistic conflicts with Island/Def Jam, Hanson split from the label in 2003 and started their own label, 3CG Records. In 2004, they released their third major studio album, Underneath, independently. The album reached #1 on Billboard’s Independent Album Chart and has since been noted as one of the biggest-selling independent albums of all time. The single “Penny & Me” reached #2 on Billboard’s Top 200. Like This Time Around, Underneath was well-received and well-reviewed for its more mature classic rock/pop sound.
The band continues to have a dedicated fan base and Internet presence, and recently completed a tour of college campuses, showing a documentary, Strong Enough to Break, made about their struggle to form their own label and release Underneath. The documentary http://www.last.fm/music/Hanson was also shown at the Hollywood Film Festival in October 2006.
A live album (The Best of Hanson; Live & Electric), recorded in Melbourne on the Australian leg of the “Underneath: Live & Electric” tour was released in October 2005.
The band released of their fourth major studio album, The Walk in North America on July 24th, 2007. They have released a second documentary, titled Taking The Walk as a continuation of their struggles and successes of writing, recording and producing their own album. After spending some time in Africa, Hanson released a single “Great Divide” for World AIDS Day, with 100% of the download proceeds going to the Perinatal HIV Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa.
During the making of The Walk, Hanson made a trip to Africa to record some tracks with the African Children's Choir. They were so inspired by their experiences there that they have since teamed up with TOMS Shoes--a california-based company who donates a pair of shoes for each pair sold to a child in poverty who does not have shoes.
In order to raise awareness for this charity and the daily things we take for granted, as well as small and impactful ways to help those in need, Hanson organizes one mile barefoot walks before each of their shows. As of 10/30/08 they have walked a total of 100 miles together with their fans. They are donating $1 for each person who walks with them to one of 5 causes to help children and monthers in Africa battling AIDS and poverty. The fans are invited to organize their own walks and Hanson will also donate a dollar to whatever cause they are walking for. The goal is to Walk around the World and as of 2/4/2009 have walked 19,236 miles and have 5,666 to go.

Hanson released their 5th studio album entitled "Shout It Out" on June 8, 2010. Leading up to this release they performed all of their albums at 5 sold out shows at the Gramercy Theater in New York City.
2. Hanson is a funk rock band formed in 1973 by reggae musician Junior Marvin. The group released two albums - "Now Hear This" (1973) and "Magic Dragon" (1974) before disbanding in 1974.

Yeah
Yeah
Whoa
Whoa
Well I can't take this any longer
No
Well I'm not getting any stronger
I don't know how to feel this anymore
You can't tell me what you want
After all that you've done for me we can't make it all undone
But can't you see that
I don't know what to think and ou can't tell if we're dreaming
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know what I'm feeling
We just need space for breathing
I wish that I could just let this go but I'm thinking that I don't know
I've had these thoughts a thousand times before
I'm up against a wall I can't ignore
I wish you didn't feel so good to hold
'Cause then it wouldn't be so hard to know
You can't tell me what you want
After all that you've done for me we can't make it all undone
But can't you see that
I wish I could tell you
(I wish I could tell you)
That everything was gonna be alright
I just want to love you so maybe I can let this go
You can't tell me what you want
After all that you've done for me we can't make it all undone
But can't you see that

The lyrics of Hanson's song "I Don't Know" tell the story of a person who is confused about their feelings towards someone they have a complicated history with. The song starts with the singer saying that they can no longer take the situation they are in and that they are not getting any stronger. They express their confusion by saying "I don't know how to feel this anymore." They feel like they need space to breathe and figure things out, but they don't know how to get there.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the singer doesn't know what to think or feel because of the complicated situation they are in. They say that they wish they could let go of their feelings and move on, but they are unsure of what they are feeling. The song ends with the singer still saying "I don't know" which emphasizes their confusion and uncertainty.
The song's lyrics are relatable to anyone who has gone through a complicated situation with someone they care about. It captures the emotional turmoil that can come with wanting to move on from a situation but not being able to. The repetition of "I don't know" throughout the song also adds to the feeling of confusion and uncertainty.

I love Isaac's voice! He is so amazing! No matter what one you are talking about, It's hard to say, "they need more songs" becasuse they know exactly who should sing them. Not sure how to explain it but I think Isaac needs more songs to sing...His voice is so amazing.
@reignmarieodaniel
Yes! Me too! 👏🏾💜

@jeremybuddle1924
This was a B-side of the 2nd "If Only" CD single in 2000, but really it is better than most bands' A-sides! Great band and really good song.
@christinaFaith84
I honestly don't remember this album or B-side. I had a lot of horrible things happen around the same time. I played this thinking "what album is this on?". I had a hard time until about...today I'm still struggling. Death od my husband, meet a new man, he does drugs, now he's in prison and Im alone with a kid. ...Hanson is what makes my life seem even a little normal. I love this song.
