When Cubby was only about two years old, he used to LOVE to watch the video for "Say Hey I Love You" with me.
It's by Michael Franti and Spearhead, a group I knew nothing about then and still know nothing about, except for this one song. And this song never fails to make me happy.
The lyrics are pretty repetitive, but manage to drive home the point that a loving relationship with another person is the most important thing there is.
The video itself is a little too choppy for me--why does the camera have to cut to another shot every two seconds?--but it is still joyful, entertaining, and fun to watch.
Three things we could all use more of these days. Along with love. That, there can never be enough of.
Whether you like the style of music or not, go ahead and watch the video and see if it makes you smile. It always works for me.
It made me smile!

Yes, and it reminded me of the kids dancing to Billy Idol. So another smile!
ReplyDeleteSo now I've been listening to Michael Franti all afternoon and I feel like it's perfect for a sunny day that has a touch of gloomy on the inside.
ReplyDeleteKaren.: That is an excellent description.
