Michael Franti: “When I first wrote that song I had a very complicated chorus for it. I was in the streets of Brazil and I was singing the song for people with my guitar. I realized the only part they understood was the “I Love You” part. So I ended up just repeating [sings] “I love you, I love you, I love you.” That melody really caught on and soon kids were dancing and singing. So we ended up going back to Brazil to make the video in the same way that I had written the song on the streets of Rio de Janeiro.”

Here is their uplifting music video, “SAY HEY (I LOVE YOU)”…
