Great song by a very talented artist. To everyone who said his pitching was off, I agree. He went flat here and there, but he was sitting very awkwardly and reaching forward with his neck to get close to the microphone. As a singer I have learnt that these little things make a massive difference.
watch him live singing this in 2016 and come back to this one, this one is much better, this song is supposed to be sang by someone with a teeny voice so i guess its good he got that puberty vibes
I really love this song despite how long ago this song been played. I am a mother of four and my youngest child's name is Delilah. She's perfect just the way she is and wouldn't change anything to have her. :)
Hey there, Delilah What's it like in New York city? I'm a thousand miles away But, girl, tonight you look so pretty Yes, you do Times Square can't shine as bright as you I swear, it's true Hey there, Delilah Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely Give this song another listen Close your eyes Listen to my voice, it's my disguise I'm by your side Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me What you do to me Hey there, Delilah I know times are gettin' hard But just believe me, girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would My word is good Hey there, Delilah I've got so much left to say If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall We'd have it all Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me A thousand miles seems pretty far But they've got planes and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way Our friends would all make fun of us And we'd just laugh along because we'd know That none of them have felt this way Delilah, I can promise you That by the time that we get through The world will never ever be the same And you're to blame Hey there, Delilah You be good, and don't you miss me Two more years and you'll be done with school And I'll be makin' history like I do You know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there, Delilah, here's to you This one's for you Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me What you do to me, oh oh, woah, woah Oh woah, oh Oh
Lovely. This song has that same feeling as Iris, was kind of nice and more special when it wasn't mega popular in the beginning. Still brilliant though, just more mainstream popular is all.
I named my guinea pig delilah. I saw here and said "hey there" Delilah was the next natural response. It's not meant to be offensive because I love the song and the name.
Bravoooo!!! Beatuiful, beautiful.. this song makes me cry! And now i know the story about this song one special guy sings me this song i love the video,, ^^
I've posted this comment before, This video got 11 dislikes and it has the guy who wrote the song and plays the guitar professionally!!! Some folks are just going to give negative comments no matter what!!!
I wonder if Delilah found it weird that some guy that was just her friend wrote a song about her that's one of the most heard of songs in history that most people take as a long distance romance. *shrugs*
