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.
In a Little While
Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there
In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there
In a little while
I will blow by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've know her since
Since you were a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by
My how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while
Slow down my bleeding heart
Man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the skys
He lives on starlets dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
The lyrics of Hanson's "In A Little While" speak about a promise of a reunion between two people who are far apart. The singer is certain that he will soon be with the one he loves, and the pain of being apart will no longer exist. "When the night takes a deep breath and the daylight has no end" - this line perhaps suggests the uncertainty that comes with being away from a loved one. The singer goes on to ask if the person he wishes to be with will be there, even if he crawls back to them. In the second half of the song, he speaks about a girl he has known since she was a little girl with Spanish eyes, and how she has grown up, and it's been "a little while." These lines indicate that the two have a shared past and history.
The song also touches upon the themes of dreaming and reaching for the stars, as referenced in "A man takes a rocketship into the skies, he lives on starlets dying in the night, and follows in their trail, the scatter of light." This suggestion of man's aspirations to achieve great things in life and the use of light as a metaphor for hope and motivation is quite potent. The chorus of the song repeatedly asks for the singer's bleeding heart to slow down, perhaps indicating a sense of anxiety, and the need to take things at a more leisurely pace.

In a little while
Soon, but not immediately
Surely you'll be mine
I will have you, without a doubt
In a little while I'll be there
I will join you soon
This hurt will hurt no more
The emotional pain will disappear
I'll be home, love
I will return to my love
When the night takes a deep breath
When the night becomes still
And the daylight has no end
When the day seems endless
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
If I come back weak and begging for forgiveness
Will you be there
Will you still be around for me
I will blow by every breeze
I will be unstoppable
Friday night running
Running towards freedom
To Sunday on my knees
Praying for forgiveness
That girl, that girl
The woman I desire
She's mine
I possess her love
And I've know her since
I have known her for a long time
Since you were a little girl
Since we were both very young
With Spanish eyes
Her eyes have a certain beauty
Oh, when I saw her
When I first laid eyes on her
In a pram they pushed her by
As a baby, she was pushed in a stroller
My how you've grown
She has matured and changed a lot
Well it's been
It has been a considerable amount of time
Slow down my bleeding heart
Please do not cause me any more emotional pain
Man dreams one day to fly
As humans, we all yearn for something more
A man takes a rocketship into the skies
We use technology to achieve our dreams
He lives on starlets dying in the night
He lives a life of glamour and excitement but it is unsustainable
And follows in the trail
He follows the path of others who have lived this life
The scatter of light
The remnants of their actions
Slowly, slowly love
Take things one step at a time, love gently
Slow down my beating heart
Don't make my heart race too fast

Algo que adoro de Hanson es la capacidad para hacer versiones llevadas a su fiel estilo musical... Hacen todas las canciones como si fueran suyas, eso es por su inconfundible sello. Me encantan y los admiraré siempre, son únicos y poca gente lo sabe. Merecen muchísimo mas de lo que tienen...
