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, โMMMBop.โ Their 1997 album Middle of Nowhere (the bandโs 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 groupโs subsequent major effort, This Time Around showcased the brothersโ 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 Billboardโs Independent Album Chart and has since been noted as one of the biggest-selling independent albums of all time. The single โPenny & Meโ reached #2 on Billboardโs 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 โUnderneath: Live & Electricโ 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 โGreat Divideโ 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.
Never Love Again
Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've memorized each line
The way you hold your head when you're smiling
Gets me every time
Though you take my breath away
There's one thing I have to say
I'll never love again
I tore up all the letters that you wrote me
I packed up all your things
But I can't stop myself from hoping
When the telephone rings
It's funny how I feel this way
And all that's left to say
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
If I had won the world
And angel wings unfurled
And came down by my side
I'd give it all away for just a single day
That I could use to change your mind
So when I see you next time
Please don't cause a fuss
Cause I still haven't told all my friends
About the two of us
All of this is yesterday
And all that there is left to say
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I will never love again

Line by Line Meaning
Just a simple conversation
I had a basic conversation with you
But I've memorized each line
I remember every single thing you said in that conversation
The way you hold your head when you're smiling
Your smile's posture makes me feel so hypnotized
Gets me every time
I can't resist the way you smile, it captivates me every time
Though you take my breath away
You're so stunning that it takes my breath away just seeing you
There's one thing I have to say
I need to tell you one important thing
I'll never love again
I will never fall in love after what happened between us
I tore up all the letters that you wrote me
I ripped every note you wrote for me
I packed up all your things
I gathered all your belongings
But I can't stop myself from hoping
Despite what you did, I still have hope
When the telephone rings
I wish that it was you calling me
It's funny how I feel this way
It's ridiculous how I still feel about you
And all that's left to say
There's nothing else to say
If I had won the world
If I had everything in the world
And angel wings unfurled
And if I had wings like angels do
And came down by my side
And landed next to me
I'd give it all away for just a single day
I'd give up everything for a day with you
That I could use to change your mind
That I could take to convince you to come back
So when I see you next time
Next time we meet
Please don't cause a fuss
Don't make a scene or draw attention
Cause I still haven't told all my friends
I haven't informed all of my friends yet
About the two of us
About our past relationship
All of this is yesterday
Our relationship was in the past
And all that there is left to say
And this is all I have left to say
I'll never love again
I am confident that I will never fall in love again after everything
I'll never love again
I will never fall in love again
I'll never love again
I have completely given up on love

This is beautiful and its a true gem to hear Tay sing in a different key. It goes to show the amount of range and talent he has. Once again, Hanson nailed it!

At first I thought this was Zac singing. Tays voice is similar to Zacs voice with this particular song
