Description Edit: Okay, somebody was kind enough to help me out here. Turns out this was another song Hanson sung, but didn't write. Because it's on the Take the Walk EP album I'm not gonna take it off the challenge. I'm actually not one-hundred percent who wrote the original, because so many people have done it. Somebody told me it was John Pagano, so that's what I'll put.

Man, dA is really slow lately...not the site, but the people. I mean, I know people had exams and everthing, but seriously. I hope everyone's okay. I feel alone here lol.

Alternative title: "What I love about him"

That was the original title, coming from Hannah's perspective obviously. But then I wondered if I could match a Hanson song to it so it could go towards completing the theme challenge, and I decided on the song, "Change in my Life" off of Hanson's album Take the Walk EP.

It's a song that I liken to the change in my life that Aaron brought along, so I knew I'd definitely do a picture for it featuring one of the twins and the change their true love brought them, but for some reason I think it fits Elianaron more than Aranelion.

Think about the major changes to Elianaron's mindset after he meets/falls in love with Hannah. His wild personality settles down until it almost disappears, even though he still loves to have fun. I think she changes him, for the good obviously, more than Camillia changes Aranelion. However, I think Aranelion changes Camillia more than Elianaron changes Hannah, not saying that all four of them aren't affected somehow, just some more than others.

But I think if you want one of the biggest changes of one of my characters from their loved one, I think Delilah is the big winner...Hidama gives her such strength and courage.

Err yeah, enough of that. Here are the lyrics to the song.

Standing cold and scared on top of blue hill.
There came one moment, when I lost my will.
I pray for mercy please Lord take me away.
Give me sunshine, when I only see grey.

The best out of hold on me can't be denied.
And the changes didn't come easily.

Don't you know, I've been lonely,
Been cheated, been misunderstood.
I've been washed up, and put down,
And told I'm no good.
But with you I belong,
'Cause you help me be strong.
There's a change in my life,
Since you came along.

Now I don't mind working, so hard everyday.
And I don't pay no mind, to what people say.
'Cause after all the pain I've been through,
I've give up everything just to love only you.

All my life I held my head bent in shame.
But now I've found you, and with you I am made.

Don't you know, I've been lonely,
Been cheated, been misunderstood.
I've been washed up, and put down,
And told I'm no good.
But with you I belong,
'Cause you help me be strong.
There's a change in my life,
Since you came along.

Now a man gets crazy when his life is all wrong.
And a heart gets weary where it doesn't belong.
When the road gets rocky Lord you've got to keep on.
Let the new light come shining on through.

Don't you know, I've been lonely,
Been cheated, been misunderstood.
I've been washed up, and put down,
And told I'm no good.
But with you I belong,
'Cause you help me be strong.
There's a change in my life,
Since you came along.

This song is sung entirely A Capella, (for those of you who aren't music savvy that's just voices with no instruments), and the blending of their voices is just...beyond awesome. Zachary actually carries the lead vocals, I mean, the melody, for most of the song, while Tay and Ike sing the upper and lower harmony, Tay obviously on upper and Ike on lower harmony.

Anyway, this song screams Elianaron, (well, it also screams Aranelion and myself, but work with me). I've never mentioned it but Elianaron is actually born not breathing, and Armundae has to get him breathing again, so Elianaron has things working against him from the very beginning.

He and Aranelion are both persecuted, and are lonely even though they have each other. The chorus sums up the negative side of their lives perfectly. But as I said before, when Elianaron meets Hannah, (in two different ways depending on whether it's in "Wandering to Love" or WoLaD) she still has a major impact on his life. So yeah, that basically sums up the picture.

I had the idea for the pose, again, before I thought of putting it to "Change in my Life" It occured to me that I have never drawn Elianaron and Hannah together, save for the Wedding Series picture, which I found pretty sorry XD I got a new brown sharpie yesterday and had the perfect excuse to do the picture. Problem is Hannah's brown fur should be lighter. The marker might be good for Lairen though.

But yeah, adorable eh? ^^ *waves ElianaronxHannah banner*

Now to see if the dry spell goes away and the comments come back. My other new pictures feel neglected

"Change in my Life" Song and Lyrics (c) John Pagano

Actually, that song wasn't written by Hanson, though I've seen them perform it in person. I believe the original artist was John Pagano: "Change in My Life"

Yikes, you know, now I remember them talking about it being a spiritual song talking like they hadn't written it.

...

Well, I think I'll keep this on here anyway, since they did sing it and it was part of the Take the Walk EP album. Although I've refrained from using songs I know were written by someone else, I don't think there's any point to remove it from my challenge list, since I already did it.

Thank you for letting me know!

No problem! Nah, I was only referring to the "Change in my Life" (c) Hanson, cos it isnt. But no biggie. I'm just glad you did this piece, because I didn't know what the song was called. I typed the lyrics I remembered into Google and yours was the only thing that popped up! :3

ReverseTheEclipse In reply to doodleallday [2009-03-15 01:17:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes, and I fixed that now ^^ I still mentioned that it's based off of their rendition of it. I really appreciate the help ^^

lol really? I'm not surprised. I was trying to find the lyrics under the name of the original artist and couldn't find them.

See, at the last concert I went to, Charlotte, NC last October, they sang it and mentioned it was a spiritual song, and I kinda had the idea that they didn't write it, but never had a name or anything *shrug*

But yeah, I won't be doing songs like "In a Little While" and "Optimistic" that they only sing at concerts. I'm keeping this song because it's part of the EP ^^

And it sounds so beautiful! I love that song ^^

PS: I was TOTALLY at the Charlotte, NC performance. Unfortunately, I could hardly see the stage, save for when a couplea ladies had my friend and I hold their barstools at the back tables on the upper level. I remember that song specifically and loved it. My friend Brandon ducked out behind Amos' during the 2nd opening act and hung out with Isaac for a little bit. Apparently Isaac had a paci in how mouth, bout to put his behbeh to bed. :3

Aww man seriously? I have pictures from the Walk in my gallery ^^

I was at the right side on the first floor. Me and two of my friends were up against the bar about two rows from the front. We could see Taylor really well but I was sad because I wanted to see Zachary.

But towards the end some people moved around and I got to see Zachary playing during Watch Over Me and Rock N Roll Razorblade. I was so happy! I even got to shake Taylor's hand as they were leaving. It was beyond awesome ^^

That's awesome! LOL! I've had a celeb crush on Zac since "MmmBop" was on MTV back in 1996/97. Saw them first at the "Albertane Tour", but missed them every time they came to CLT after that, unfortunately. I became obsessed with Doc Martens bc of Zac, too. (6 pairs!) Saw their showcase in London @ the Doc Marten factory. It was awesome, lol.

Zac has always been my "sweetie" The first time I saw them was when they were in Charlotte in 2007. If you look at my desktop screenshot on my front page you'll see a picture I got taken with him that day ^^ The original is in my gallery too...in the Hanson photos folder.

I also saw them in Myrtle Beach on May 6th in 2008. The thing is, you know May 6th is Hanson Day in Oklahoma because of Middle of Nowhere being released that day right? Well, May 6, is my birthday! So I got to talk to all three of them and they all wished me happy birthday. I've always felt so special having my birthday on May 6th ^^ That was the best birthday I've ever had.

I always spend most of my time with Zac on Walks

That is so cool that you got to see them on the Albertane tour! ^^
