"Say" by Ryan Cabrera

Ryan Cabrera broke away from his first band, Rubix Groove, to release his first solo album, "Take It All Away", in 2004. Produced by John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, the album spawned several charting hits:  the title track went to #15, the acoustic ballad "True" went to #18, and the third single "40 Kinds of Sadness" went to #47.

His sophomore effort, "You Stand Watching", failed to generate a major hit but managed to climb up to #24 on the Billboard Top 200. To switch things up, Cabrera changed his image for the third record, "The Moon Under Water". His sound didn't change much - he still churned out plenty of sweet pop rock songs - but the record stalled at #177.

"The Moon Under Water" deserved better. Not only did it contain "I Will Remember You", a song that got high profile airplay on TV in 2006, but lead single "Say" is one of the catchiest song he's ever done. Cabrera is now involved in a new project called Beyond The Sky for those keeping track.
