I didn’t actually believe that Hanson were in my city
until they took the stage at Casino Nova Scotia last night and began
to play. The surge of energy of live Hanson music came flooding back to me, my
heart bursting with joy when they started ‘Waiting for This.’ The energy in the
Schooner Showroom last night was incredible—we screamed and sang along and
today I barely have a voice. I missed out on meeting the boys but managed to
make eye contact with them during the show and exchange a few smiles. These guys
are incredible when it comes to connecting with their audience and engaging
their participation. We all jumped up and down so much that at one point, the
floor literally started to shake. When Zac sang the Beatles ‘Oh Darlin’ my
heart melted right to floor. He held a note that made me hold my breath. If
smiles could kill, well his would be deadly.
Only at a Hanson concert do I let loose the way I did
last night, and it’s the one place where I can dance like crazy and not care
about what I look like. It was so cute how Isaac was smiling at my dancing—I
love it when they acknowledge the enthusiasm of the crowd. Their passion fueled ours and I could tell how amazed they were by our energy. I can’t
begin to describe to you how freeing it was to run out into the aisle and dance
and sing with all that I had. Nothing else mattered the whole time they
performed, it was though every worry and care didn’t exist. The sad part about
this is that time disappears in the blink of an eye. That’s why I made sure to
soak it all in, to let the music seep through my veins and pour into my heart. I didn’t get the chance to get a picture with
them this time around, but they are coming back next year and there will always
be other opportunities. I’m grateful that I had the biggest wish I made this
year granted, just to see Hanson live despite impossible circumstances. Being given
this gift means that my struggles haven’t been for nothing and gives me hope
for better days that wasn’t there before. Hanson’s music lifts up my heart and
makes it soar. Last night gave me a peace that I haven’t felt in a long time. I
only hope I can hold onto that peace for a little while.
Thank you Hanson, for giving me yet another night I won’t
forget. Thank you for renewing so much within my spirit. I hope you know the
magic you create and the fire you light in all of our hearts. I can’t wait
until you visit our corner of the world again.
