• I admit that less than a month ago, this Say What You Need To Say song by John Mayer (also known as Say by John Mayer)played on my mind. I’m lucky to have first heard this song by the late 2008/early 2009 timeframe when I heard it play on a Norfolk Virginia radio station and there was a time I had heard this song play in the end credits of a film/movie starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.
