Say Hey (I Love You) by Michael Franti & Spearhead
It's the summer of 2009 and shortly after one year of marriage I returned to Minnesota from Peru to take care of business back home. Being separated from Marianella was no fun, particularly as I stayed at our house in St. Paul with basic cable and the stress of taking care of various tasks in a short period of time.
What buoyed me through those weeks was the omnipresence of this joyous, heart on the sleeve song--like a silly teenager in love, I recall playing it through a phone call with Marianella one afternoon as a connecting point in our time apart. I'm not saying that I sang these lyrics--"Hey, I'll be goin' today, but I'll be back home around the way"-but I'm not saying I didn't.
