Final Episode, New Music Video!

Jul 19, 2019 | HANSON

This is our fifth and final week of the Real to Reel video series.  We have been working our way through the new In Real Life EP track by track, and we have reached the end.  "Better Days" makes the climactic conclusion to the EP, and just like so many HANSON songs before, it sees the hardships of this moment, but looks to the future and the hope for better days to come.  We will be sharing the final episode of the Real to Reel EP today as well as posting the music video for “Better Days” on YouTube, because we want everyone to get excited about what comes next for HANSON. We are already writing and prepping for a new project called Against the World, and with any luck, we will be able to tell you when and where you can get it before the end of the year.

This may be our last week for the Real to Reel video series, but next week we will begin diving into the making of the In Real Life EP sharing fly on the wall footage with Hanson.net members from the writing and recording throughout July and August. More soon!

Isaac Taylor and Zac

I know that bar in the video must be in Tulsa but the scene could have been shot just about anywhere here in Wisconsin.  (...I spied the PBR and Miller signs...)  Love the song and the video.  Thanks for all of these,...they've been great!

LOVE THIS SONG!    This song grabbed me the very first time I listened to the ep and it is still my favorite today.  The video is great - i am guessing that the guys/ gals in the bar are true regulars and friends of Isaac, Taylor and Zac (at least it looked that way).

Thanks guys for a great video series, truly enjoyed it and I am looking forward to hearing these songs live on stage!  

Hint, hint - Better Days at the Maryland State Fair :-)

It's SO happy! So much momentum built up to this last track and in the song! sort of reminds me of bluesy/rocky/orchestral "Give a Little" vibe! Love the cello addition! This EP is the best!!

I think the music videos and real to reel footage for the latest EP are making me like the songs even more than I did before.  Each one gets better.  Hearing the storyline and details behind the lyrics, along with the visuals, creates more power and emotion unique with each song than just listening.  Bravo guys.  I’ve enjoyed this series very much.

Sad its the final but yay there is more to come! Such an awesome song and video! I feel like all five videos were made in one day. Is that true? It's been kind of like "A Day In The Life" of Hanson. Waking up and off to work in "Compromise". We use our ideas and others to come to a common ground. "Worth The Wait" is being alone with our personal ups, downs and journey. Making it all work out in the end.  In "The Ballad of Seymore Better Times" we are looking at someone else's impulsiveness, risk taking and learning and recovering from mistakes . We are inspired by Seymore and use it in our daily lives. Zac has a little Seymore in him! It's good to laugh and have a fun person to be around. In "Reading Your Mind" we wind down after work with loved ones. We are ourselves with our close circle. It's unconditional love and we feel they will love us forever. Finally in "Better Days" we meet up with our friends and let lose. We also meet new people. We unwind and reflect from the day. Its all "In Real Life". It was nice to see what Hanson does in their daily lives. I'm glad to see its not all hard work and there is time for play. Isaac, the cello playing is beautiful and moving. Great pool playing guys! I love Andrew's laugh! It's contagious! I saw him having fun on stage in Springfield!

I listen to the EP every day. Today, coming to work, I felt infected by a very strong energy listening Better Days. Gratitude for feeling so good.
