Singles from Say Hello to Sunshine
  1. "Bitemarks and Bloodstains"

Say Hello to Sunshine is the second and final studio album by American rock band Finch, released on June 7, 2005. This album signaled a sharp departure from the band's last release, What It Is to Burn. Say Hello to Sunshine introduced a harder, gritty sound, with more screaming and a less of a alternative rock sound compared to earlier songs such as "Letters to You".[2] The album received mixed reactions. Some were disappointed, having been expecting a similar sound to their previous, whereas others embraced the change in direction. The album was produced with Jason Cupp (The Kite-Eating Tree, The Valley Arena), who also produced the band's self-titled EP.

In 2006, Finch announced an indefinite hiatus[3] - this resulted in Say Hello being regarded as the last release by the band. However, in late 2007, the band officially ended their hiatus and have since released a new EP in July 2008. They then split up again in 2010, in the midst of creating their third album.

It is believed that all the album's songs were written about an anonymous bullied teenager from South Hill, Virginia who developed Schizophrenia and later committed suicide (sometime in late 2004)[citation needed]

Say Hello

"Say Hello" is a 2005 single by the house music duo Deep Dish. It was originally included on the group's 2005 album, George Is On. The song's vocals were provided by singer Anousheh Khalili.

The song became another popular hit for the group, topping the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in the US and peaking at #14 on the UK Singles Chart. It also became a minor hit in Australia, peaking at #40. Although not as popular as some of their other singles, the song is still highly regarded by fans of the duo.

"Say Hello" was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Dance Recording at the 2006 ceremony, losing out to the song "Galvanize" by The Chemical Brothers featuring Q-Tip.

In addition to the Deep Dish album, the song can be found on the compilation albums Now That's What I Call Music 61 as well as David Guetta's Fuck Me I'm Famous Vol. 2.

    Say Hello To Sunshine

    by: Finch

    Below the Earth,
    Flies and serpents,
    Fire and brimstone.
    Remove the backbone,
    Say hello to sunshine,
    Wake up you're baptized.
    The temple is made,
    Something to believe in,
    It's something to me,
    The evidence is all we taste.
    Under the skin the heart is pumping.
    What brought you to this?
    You watched me use this (useless)
    Focus on the picture,
    Lose sight of the vision.
    The temple is made.
    Something to believe in,
    It's something to me
    The evidence is all we taste.
    Man makes changes, man wants everything.
    Man makes changes, man wants everything...
