Say Hi is a Seattle-based indie rock band. Formed by Eric Elbogen in Brooklyn 2002, Say Hi's albums are mostly recorded at Elbogen's home, with him playing all of the instruments and providing vocals.
Eric Elbogen was born in 1976 and grew up in San Fernando Valley, California. He attended UCLA. He then moved to Brooklyn, New York and formed Say Hi to Your Mom in 2002.
He plays a Fender Jazzmaster guitar.
On tour, friends accompany Elbogen as his backing band.
Their fourth release, Impeccable Blahs, was written almost entirely about vampires, though Star Trek is also mentioned. The song "Angels and Darlas" is a reference to Angel and Darla from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff Angel both created by Joss Whedon.
With the release of their fifth album The Wishes and the Glitch, the band shortened their name to "Say Hi". This was done because the earlier name reflected an aesthetic that no longer matched the band's tastes.
Say Hi recently covered The Violent Femmes "Kiss Off" for American Laundromat Records charity CD "Sing Me To Sleep – Indie Lullabies" which releases worldwide on May 18, 2010.
I wish I could spy on you
See inside your brain
Take away the pain
I wish I could spy on you
See inside your brain
Take away the pain
Sittin' here
Thinkin' 'bout things
Wondering what will be (what will be)
So confused
Feel so used
Am I being screwed
Am I screwing you
Say hi
Hi to me
'Cause I'm dying not to feel a thing
Say hi
Hi to me
Cause I know I made you feel used
I wish I could spy on you
See inside your brain
Take away the pain
It's just a small case of paranoia
I do enjoy you
Especially when your pants are on the ground
What will be
Oh maybe
Take a look at me
Say hi
Hi to me
Cause I'm dying not to feel a thing
Say hi
Hi to you
Cause I know I made you feel used
Say Hi
Hi to me
Cause I'm dying not to feel a thing
Say hi
Hi to you
Cause I know I made you...
Sitting and thinking
About those days
When we spent running around
In circles
Was it worth it
I ask myself this everyday
Why I'm staying so long
We're not together now
And I'm happy when you just stop to say hello
Say hi
Hi to me
Cause I'm dying not to feel a thing
Say hi
Hi to you
Cause I know I made you feel used
(I can't stop the rain from falling)
Say Hi
Hi to me
(I can't stop my tears from dropping)
You never did it
You couldn't say hello
(I can't stop the rain from falling)
Say hi
Hi to me
(I can't stop my tears from dropping)
You never did it
You couldn't say hello
(I can't stop the rain from falling)
(You'll never ever be alone)
(I can't stop my tears from dropping)
(I can't stop the rain from falling)
(You'll never ever be alone)
(I can't stop my tears from dropping)
When you know
When you go
You'll never ever be alone
(I can't stop the rain from falling)
(I can't stop my tears from dropping)
(You'll never ever be alone)
When you know
When you go
You'll never ever be alone
When you know
When you go
