Ever Lonely
Hanson · Live From Albertane [1998]
And I'll be here for you
All you've got to do is call
Said I'm always waiting here for you
All you've got to do is keep on trying 'til your call gets through
And for so many years I have been your friend
We've been through everything time and time again
But I want you to know that I still believe in you
All you've got to do is keep on trying 'til your call gets through
Well if you're ever lonely you can call on me
And I'll be here for you
All you've got to do is call
Said I'm always waiting here for you
All you've got to do is keep on trying 'til your call gets through
You got to keep trying even though the road gets hard
You got to keep going on even though he broke your heart
And if you ever need a friend I will be here for you
All you've got to do is keep on trying 'til your call gets through
Well if you're ever lonely you can call on me
And I'll be here for you
All you've got to do is call
Said I'm always waiting here for you
All you've got to do is keep on trying 'til your call gets through
Ever Lonely
Hanson's 'Ever Lonely' captures the band's signature blend of pop and rock during their formative years. Recorded for the 1998 live album Live From Albertane, the track showcases the brothers' tight harmonies and energetic stage presence. While best known for their massive hit 'Mmmbop,' which also appears on this recording, Hanson consistently delivered polished performances that balanced youthful exuberance with sophisticated songwriting. This live rendition highlights their ability to connect with audiences through dynamic instrumentation and vocal interplay. The song remains a testament to their early discography, reflecting a period where they were establishing a distinct sound within the English-language pop landscape. It stands as a notable song in their extensive catalogue of recordings from the late nineties.
