Say It Again
Santana · Beyond Appearences [1985]
When you tell me bout the way
You feel
It really makes my day
I just love to hear you say
Chorus:
Say it again, say it high say it low
Say it again, so the whole wide
World will know
Say it, that you're still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me
You know it sounds so sweet
It just knocks me right up off of
My feet
To hear you talk that way
I just love to hear you say
Chorus:
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when
Say it again, that our love will never end
Say it, that you're still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love...
Bridge:
I hear the echoes in my mind
They're calling to me all the time
I hear those voices start to sing
Again and again
Instrumental
It gives me such a thrill
When you tell me bout the way
You feel
It really makes my day
I just love to hear you say
Chorus:
Say it again, say it high say it low
Say it again, so the whole wide
World will know
Say it, that you're still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when
Say it again, that our love will never end
Say it, that you're still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me
Say It Again

Released on the 1985 album Beyond Appearances, the track showcases the guitarist's ability to blend rock foundations with contemporary pop sensibilities. This era marked a shift toward a more polished, radio-friendly sound as Santana sought to reinvigorate his discography following a period of experimentation. The recording highlights his signature melodic phrasing and emotive tone, maintaining the Latin rock identity that defines his extensive body of work. While the album itself faced mixed critical reception, this single stands as a testament to Santana's enduring adaptability and his continued influence on the rock genre. The song remains a notable song in his catalogue, reflecting the artistic direction that would eventually lead to his massive commercial success in the following decade.
