Question: What would you say was the inspiration for you when you wrote "This time around"? Was it just one idea or a bunch of things you felt at the time? Thanks love ya~sheri

    HANSON LIVE: Taylor: Well the song is a song about dying for what you believe in and not giving into opression and fighting for what you believe in. There's a lot of thoughts that went into that song. It's obviously not about the exact experience we had but it covers a pretty broad subject.
