Stories

Hanson · This Time Around [2000]

When we were young stories were told

That I would kiss you sweet like

People said there was a connection between us

Oh



Now that we're older stories are told of how I'll hold you tight

Whenever I see those people I tell them they were right



Stories will be told from when our children are young until they're old

Oh

About our endless love

We must have been a blessing from above



Stories will be told

Oh

Until we're old

Stories will be told until the end of time



Stories will be told until we're old

Stories will be told until the end of time



Until the sun won't rise

Oh

Let me tell you mine

Oh

Let me tell you mine



It all started on seventy seventh street when we were just thirteen

I had no cares at all until I saw you from the corner of my eye

It changed my views

It changed my whole life



Stories will be told from when our children are young until they're old

Oh

About our endless love

We must have been a blessing from above

Oh



Stories will be told from when our children are young until they're old

Oh

About our endless love

We must have been a blessing from above

Hanson's 'Stories' appears on their 2000 album This Time Around, marking a significant evolution in the trio's sound following their massive mid-90s breakthrough. Moving away from the pure pop-rock of their earlier hits, the brothers embraced a more mature, alternative rock aesthetic during this era. The track reflects the group's continued experimentation with heavier instrumentation and introspective songwriting, showcasing their ability to adapt while maintaining their signature harmonies. This period of their discography represents a deliberate shift toward a grittier musical identity, distinguishing it from the polished production of their debut. As part of a broader catalogue that includes enduring classics, 'Stories' stands as a testament to the band's longevity and willingness to explore new sonic territories within the English rock genre.
