| Michael Franti And Spearhead – Say Hey (I Love You) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Awesome! When I think about this song, my feelings are: This is a song that boils it all down to the basics: I love you, I love you, I love you It's a song that, to me, focuses the attention on loving others. The first verse is actually kind of strange, if you think about it: I say hey, I be gone today But I be back around the way Seems like everywhere I go The more I see, the less I know But I know one thing, that I love you I love you, I love you, I love you "Hey, I'm gone but I'll be back" sounds like an apology. And then the rest of the verse is so humble (When I travel, it just reinforces my sense that I'm ignorant). Why so humble and apologetic? And then, shortly after: "But I don't want to write a love song for the world I just want to write a song about a boy and girl" So, it's a regret that love is so complicated, and that he would even need to write a song encouraging people to love other people, other nations, since that should be a/the guiding philosophy all the time |

| I like this song because it is straightforwardly a "gay song," and yet anyone can enjoy listening to it and can sympathize. | |
