“Say Hello” by Deep Dish
The general idea upon which Deep Dish’s “Say Hello” is based is simple enough in its lyrical presentation. And what the vocalist is basically saying is that luck, or let’s say chance, is unpredictable.
Or stated otherwise, a golden opportunity can emerge at any time. However, it is not going to “say hello” while ‘walking by’.
So it is arguable that what is being put forth, comprehensively, is a notion like opportunities having to be seized while ripe, even if they materialize unexpectedly, as in fact they often do.
Was “Say Hello” a single release?
