Exciting news!  MTV has just posted our music video for ‘By You’!  Check it out-

In addition to posting the video MTV also has an article about the possibility of ‘By You’ being on the New Moon Soundtrack. 

He’s arguably the most talented and popular of a collection of musicians who compose songs about Stephenie Meyer’s vivid “Twilight” universe. Yet, if you’ve only seen the “Twilight” movie, you may not be aware of Mitch Hansen. He’s hoping all that will soon change.

“It’s called ‘By You,’ ” the affable frontman of the Mitch Hansen Band told MTV News of his latest song and video, which he’s premiering with us and hoping to get onto the upcoming “New Moon” soundtrack. “It’s essentially from Bella’s perspective, and it’s kind of a very edgy rock-type song. It’s about ‘New Moon’ through her eyes, all that pain she felt. Then at the end it resolves — in a more happy place, I should say. It’s a very emotional song.”

Read the entire article here.  While you’re there make sure you leave a comment with your thoughts about the video and about the Mitch Hansen Band being on the New Moon Soundtrack.  (Hopefully Summit will drop by and get the message.) 

Special thanks to Larry Carroll for all his support!

In an attempt to keep Bella safe from the world of vampires, Edward leaves Forks. In “By You”, The Mitch Hansen Band brings that sense of loss and depression that Bella felt before you she turned to Jacob Black in Stephenie Meyers’ New Moon.

Some very talented Twilight fans sang an MHB cover song at a DVD release party in Puerto Rico this past weekend.   The song they chose was By You and it sounds great!  Here is the video.  They sing one of their own songs first called “Just Bite Me.”  By You starts after that.  I thought I’d share it with you for your enjoyment!

Have a great day and don’t watch Twilight too many times!

Mitch

Due to multiple circumstances including Stephenie Meyer’s love for “Jacob Black” and our debut CD “Endless Days”, we have updated the lyrics to the Twilight-inspired songs. Below is a preview of what is to come:

“Already Dead”

I need you the same
To keep me from going off the edge
Oh wait, its too late I’m
Already dead

“Stay With Me”

I see you and then it hits me
Its no wonder you Eclipse me
Everything I wanted has come true

“I Don’t Know”

Is it worth the price?
Will I make it past the pain?
Leave it all behind
Can I live an Endless Day?

“A World Without You”

My instincts took control, no thoughts of right or wrong
Believe me when I tell you that I thought that you were gone
I tried to think of how I’d start again
But a world without you is not worth living in

“The Last Thing”

Every decade I’ve lived
I didn’t know that I was waiting for you
Then out of nowhere you were there
Disrupting all I knew

“By You”

Wrapped in stone, felt at home
If only you knew that this hole
Was created by you

“She Is Brighter”

She doesn’t walk, she’s always prancing
Only when she isn’t dancing

“Jacob Black”

Don’t you see
You’re just a dog to me?
If you come near her again
I’ll eat you, too

“Number 3″

Here I go I’m on a roll
I want to know about you
Holy water, stakes in hearts
Tell me is it even true.

“Lullaby”

Something strange is happening
And I don’t know what to do
I haven’t felt my heartbeat in over 90 years
