Synopsis!
"Say You Love Me" is the 3rd song released by Simply Red (Band) from the sixth studio album.
"Blue" (1998) was the sixth studio album by Simply Red.
The album includes five cover versions: "Mellow My Mind" from the 1975 Neil Young album Tonight's the Night, two versions of the frequently-covered "The Air That I Breathe" written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood, the Gregory Isaacs hit "Night Nurse", and "Ghetto Girl" by Dennis Brown, from whom the band would cover another song in 2003. New versions of previously recorded Simply Red songs also appear here: "Come Get Me Angel" is a re-written version of the 1996 single "Angel", and "Broken Man" was first released as a B-side in 1987.
"So Jungiful", found on the Japanese edition of the album, is a jungle remix of "So Beautiful" from the band's previous album, Life.
About Song!
As the title suggests, Simply Red's sixth studio album finds Mick Hucknall in reflective mode pondering the vagaries of fame, love and friendship. On "Say You Love Me" he likens himself to a grain of sand, being blown all around the world. "What I think of it?" he asks himself, "Oh it's so-so." Such ambivalence towards the day-job may have something to do with the failed relationship that had preceded the recording of Blue. The strains of touring, said Hucknall, made it impossible to find a suitable life-partner. Such domestic unrest, though, acts as a fine creative lubricant, and ballads such as "Love Has Said Goodbye Again" and the Gerschwin-tinged "Someday In My Life" rank as two of Mick's finest vocal performances. In fact, only the soaring funk of "To Be Free" truly evokes the carefree stridency of the band's earlier albums. Blue is the sound of man approaching 40 and pondering his options.
.....Lyrics.....
Being one of those grains of sand
I get blown all around the world
And what I make of it
Oh I don't know
What's the meaning of it
Oh I don't know
I've been around so many times
That the worlds turning in my mind
What do I think of it
Oh it's so so
What more can you be than the things they say you've been
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me
Just say you love me
I never ever realised
It's so easy to make you cry
But did I break a bit
Oh I hope no
Have you forgot about it
Oh I hope so
But you never ever wonder why
In every single pair of eyes
There is a hunger in it
Or it's soul dies
What more can you be than the things they say you've been
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me
Come on now darling, say you love me
Oh yeah, please please say you love me
Come on say you love me.....End
I love it! That's so awesome song!
