aimless conversations: like an intermission where the band keeps playing

With You in Your Dreams (live)

SomethingGrey:
i've just heard it and..i love it. It just sounds so meaningful like..them singing it now, as opposed to on 3CG or MON..

It's just got so much emotion in it live, that I think..was partly there in the studio recordings, but comes out in full on the live version. And I love what they've done with it.

Great song.

faerieclaire:
it's beautiful acoustic. anything zac plays the djembe on gets me. i love the sound it adds.

freshspringroll:
i think i like the 3cg version best... maybe cos it was recorded nearer to the time they lost their grandmother. with getting the audience to sing the 'whoa-oh' parts on the UA tour, i think the song has lost some of its magic on me... i liked the way they sang it on the albertane tour though.

SomethingGrey:
I know what u mean about the woah's on the UA tour, i think id prefer it without them, but I do like it better now I think..it kinda shows that..although it was a long time ago, they still remember?..Which I think is important, it's nice to know the songs not been lost in the ether of 3CG and MON.

i'm the opposite. that song is so accessible, the story and the feelings in that song are something most of us here have probably experienced at one point or another. the idea that the fans can sing back, let hanson hear us, and relate, is almost like conversation, or a hug, just the knowledge that they know what we mean. it's the same reason why i love the way taylor gets the crowd to sing on 'this time around'.

zeus22:
It's gonna be on the DVD right? So we'll all get to hear the acoustic version.

faerieclaire:
it's the same reason why i love the way taylor gets the crowd to sing on 'this time around'. i love the crowd participation too. it adds a little something unique to the song. it's like they're opening up their music to us and letting the fans become a part of it too. for those few moments we're all connected by something magical. i adore "this time around" on ua. no one else i know seems to like it, but i absolutely love listening to it...the end...there's so much power there, it's beautiful.

fangirl:
there's so much power there, it's beautiful.

i cried the first time i heard the "fan participation" in the song (I spoiled the surprise and downloaded a lifebeat bootleg), and i love love love the ua version, the dvd one looks to be even better. you've gotta have a lot of trust to let that many people interpret your song and sing it back, and i'm glad that they trust us as fans like that.

oh, i'm a gooey girl today... *LOL*

I think that the "whoa oh"s in the Underneath version of WYIYD adds so much to the performance of it. I love how they sing it as well. They aren't being flashy with their voices, they're singing a song, an experience, a memory, a feeling. And they're letting themselves be cvulnerable to their fans and hear them sing like that. I love it when Isaac goes "You sing" and the audience responds "Whoa oh". It literally gives me chills up and down my body. It shows how great of a fanbase that Hanson has. How they can sing on key and also with passion. But it's like someone above said, how we sing it like we can relate to the song, because I'm sure we all canin one way or another.

My one gripe about the song is when that one girl yells "Zac, you're hot!" When I heard that upon my first listening of this version, my blood boiled because it ruined the song for that momeny. It ruioned a perfectly wonderful spiritual song. Hanson has great fans, but some need to be a bit more mature.

I ABSOOLUTELY LOVE THEM! I love it when the audience gets to participate in a song or in a show. It's so much more fun than just watching them perform 22 songs and then leave. It makes the experience so much better, in my opinion.

I loved it when Taylor split the audience in 2 for "This Time Aroundd". I love it when he's a dork and says that jumping up and down is a tricky move whenever they perform "If Only". I love it when Zac does the "woop! woop!" and the audience responds back with a "woop! woop!" before they go into "MMMBop".

SomethingGrey:
i know what u mean about the fan participation in WYIYD being like sharing things but..i dunno..i guess its nice that they feel they can "share" the song with the fans so to speak, but still, I much prefer it on This Time Around, with the 2 sections. That was great fan participation, and it just made me feel really happy reminiscing about Islington when i see it on the bonus DVD..

As for WYIYD being on the new DVD, I should expect it will be.. they can't put such a great version on the Japanese version of Underneath and not let anyone else hear it!

faerieclaire:
fan participation is hanson's one downfall live though. it's severely lacking. they're an amazing band live and i don't think you really get hanson until you see them up there on a stage, playing their hearts out. their intensity and passion on stage makes them phenomenal live, but that's the problem - they get up there and they're SO involved in their music, it's almost like they sort of forget the audience is there until the last two or three songs and then taylor's like "oh yeah" and runs all over the stage, trying to get us all involved too.

i know that probably sounds completely cynical and like i think it's a bad thing. i'm just highly amused by that. it's really like to them, there's no audience for 98% of the show. take that last 2% and multiply it and...wow. just imagine what their shows would be like then...

uzma:
LFA version is so heartbreaking, i think its the deep drumming, the sounds of a heart beating...

the jap version is really really nice, they're older, have more meaning and just play so softly and want to share the music with the audience, its such a touching feeling when you actually think about where the song came from, and the fact that they WANT us to sing along.

the part where ike says "you sing"...i cant help but mouth how he must look like saying that!!!! its a dream to see them play the song, i never ever in my dreams thought i would hear it, just staring at them singin it.... sniff sniff...

TresCerise:
I love this version, I am addicted to it. I am worried that it won't be on the DVD because it wasn't shown in the theater. But I love how the song has evolved over time. I love that is one of the songs they just keep singing.
