Sure, but why is Delilah's side a breakup song? The original says he'd "walk to (her) if (he) had no other way" it's a love song from the other perspective. Incredibly beautiful voice, but I find the angle perplexing.
@@Jochby77 maybe because it's been so long? Or, because this Delilah kinda strung him along but she saw he finally moved on and only then decided she wanted him back?
Jochby a breakup song? Bro you deaf ? Lmao its been so long that he ended up moving on and now that she’s settled in new york she misses him and is singing this
There's a version of this song that came out a few months before this one that is honestly so much better and makes a lot more sense. I implore you all to listen to it because it fits the original song so much better than this one does. th-cam.com/video/vygUjt9AHOA/w-d-xo.html
Fun Fact: The original was written for a girl Tom had a crush on that didnt feel the same. She still turned him down after the song was written and he now has to preform it at every concert
TH-cam algorithm came straight out of left field and recommended this wonderful rendition. Absolutely beautiful voice! I hope there is a moment in your day that makes it fantastic!
If any aspiring singers are looking for examples of what it means to 'connect' with the lyrics your singing, then this is it. Absolutely brilliant and fantastic production as well.
imagine her and the original singer did an online live session together like conversation/singy-songy version of this song. I bet that will be one beautiful rendition to an already beautiful song as it is.
I was 20 years old when this song came out. I’m 38 now, and it’s bittersweet to look back at that time with older eyes and think of all the lovers and friends I’ve had and lost. If you’re 20 now, enjoy it. Live it up. But pause, here and again, and really look at the people and places that are important to you. It will shock you how quickly they will disappear.
@@darkvikos8827 yes it does..hes cheating and talks about their future but she's telling him she knows why he is really gone and that there isn't a future where they are together.
From the comment section it looks like TH-cam algorithm woke up in 2024 and said, hey, same teams in Super Bowl as in 2020, same old guys running for president… let’s resurrect the top videos. Honestly don’t know how I missed this back then, but glad I heard it now. Lovely tone, lovely lyrics. 😊
@@_valstrax_8748 weird,you have Yuki in your name and did the - I have a friend named Yuki who does that a lot too,lol also Yuki is the name of my favorite manga character
It's funny you say that bro cuz the girl I used to think about when listening to this song completely ghosted me out of nowhere when I was most in love with her 😂😂
I started dating my Delilah in 2012. 800 miles away. I saw her once a month. We both had kids to raise as single parents. I moved to be with my Delilah 4 years ago. We’re going to celebrate our 2 year marriage this summer. It was worth the struggle.
So back when I was a kid (I'm 32 as I write this), I met a girl online. We fell as much in love as you can with someone you've never met, and for almost three years we talked every day, making plans to meet, all the things we would do once we were finally together. Life being what it is, we never made it happen, I went through some truly horrific things and we drifted apart. I thought about her for the first time today when I dug up a letter she wrote to me all those years ago, included was a copy of the lyrics to "Hey There Delilah", it was always "our song" and now I find this...It almost feels like I fell for her again, got my heart broken, and found closure all in four minutes. Thanks for this, thank you for the rush of good memories and thank you for helping me heal an old wound. Good luck to you with your career Ms. Ricca. Edit: Wow, didn't expect this much traffic. Thanks to everyone who took the time to like and reply. I appreciate ya'll.
Sad story. Long distance relationships are real....In the days of the dinosaurs and no internet I met a girl through a pen pal newspaper ad and fell in love. I broke up with my manipulative girlfriend even though I knew I'd never make it to the other side of the world to meet her. Our friendship grew into more over time. After a year and a half of writing and rare phone calls (AT&T had monopoly, charged $1-$4 per minute overseas rate depending on time and day, I was earning $4.10/hour a bit more than the $3.35 minimum wage.) I got my passport, got my ticket and got on a plane for the first time in my life...I still have the letters....I still have the girl...I married her while there at 20 years old, returned home without her (hardest thing ever) and filed for her visa. I waited 5 months before getting the first step of approval, after a few more months I discovered I had a distant relative at the embassy who helped finish the process. After 8 months total of being apart, she got on a plane for the first time in her life and joined me in a land strange to her, trusting I was truly the man she thought I was. We have been married 33 years, have 5 children, 5 grandchildren so far...she's the best thing that ever happened to me, and by God's grace we made it through the thick and the thin! At the time, people told me I was too young, I was crazy....
These lyrics are gold and your voice is heavenly and so soothing. I love everything about this. The thousand miles part is sad but really well played...

Listening to this song after the original is heartbreaking. Because the first song is all about hope, and the excitement of reaching your dreams with your partner. Then this song emphasizes the drift we have with people in our lives as we pursue our dreams, and sometimes the design of our future doesn't include the people we have in our lives today. Ultimately, he's already moved on to pay the bills with his guitar and Delilah is still waiting and wondering what went wrong.
I lived my life in acts, like a play. I said it was a gift to be able to move on and leave it all behind. As one thing ended, high school, college, first job (new town), first marriage, next job (new town). I always left people behind, never to contact them again. It was not a gift but a curse. I never wanted anyone to be too close. I miss a lot of those people and hope they are all well. So, I understand the drifting apart but, in my case, it was self inflicted. I am married to a wonderful woman and have 3 sons (23, 20, and 17) but I still think about all those people from my past. Friends, lovers, family I have left them all. I always wanted to remember them as they were but now I wonder what they have become. I am on no social media aside from my youtube ramblings and obviously under an assumed name. If you have someone you miss contact them now because you will always wonder.
@@atrioxfulminare2945 no, the secret is you start out life behind, so you gotta play keep up the whole time ;) dropping the ball is fine as long as you pick it back up in my book!
Ocean_ Breeze basically dude met girl on a cruise, thought she was beautiful told her he was gonna write a song ab her and she laughed it off, he did and it blew up and she still rejected him due to having a boyfriend
If the response stuck to the canon of this version and not the original background, I imagine it would be right after he broke up with his new girl and would go something like a 3am drunken ex text: "Hey there Delilah I'm alone and really horny Standing outside your apartment, do you still got feelings for me?"
there all just jealous 99% of the time people hate for no reason is because there jealous. There so shallow too. They can hate on some one from 2 person view. They don’t know what she’s been through.she’s gorgeous and way too smart to care about the haters. They need to get a life.
It might be about the fact that the original song had been about one sided love. The singer had wrote it about a real woman who didn't like him back and the dude was a bit of a stalker. The woman had been grossed out by the fact he wrote it for her.
This is such a beautiful song that shows a girls real feelings. If I had these words instead of anger, as a man, Id fall in love. Great Job!! Song should be a number one.
This is such a stark contrast with the “Hey it’s Delilah” that was recently created by Kalista Rowan that was a very happy response like you would imagine as an early reply to the original, whereas this one is a COMPLETELY different feeling of pain and loss, where Delilah lost her partner after he was forced to move on. Two different outcomes. Beautiful duality.
This is ART! The emotion is genuine and you can see that. You can have the most masterfully arranged notes and appealing lyrics, but without emotion, it is simply not art.
Okay but the concept of this is so heartbreaking. This couple become separated by distance, he calls and misses her, writes a song in his anguish, holding hope that they will reunite. But a decade passes and his life moves on without her. Then, the girl finally tries to call him, but he's no longer waiting by the phone. It's been years, he's moved on because he probably lost hope and thought she moved on. But she never did. This shit is fucking genius.
The original song was written about a girl he met once and she barely knew him. At least that’s what the band said when the album came out, they even admitted it was a bit creepy.
Brian sorkin I never knew that but that’s hilarious. That’s so pathetic from them. I like the guy above interpretation more though I really appreciated this song.
An ex boyfriend dedicated me Hey There Delilah because I was moving to another city, he played the guitar as well. We broke up a few months later but each time I hear that song it brings me back to the moment we were sitting there, listening to that song in my farewell. It reminds me of him, playing the guitar for me. Now I found this song and DUDE IT HITS REEAALLY HARD
Emma C. - I just read her lyrics. They are kind of creepy. They aren’t together any more and she’s calling him multiple times, following his social media posts and “runs” into the guys father, etc. Not exactly a stalker, but it’s definitely someone who should move on and stop bothering that guy lol
it took 3 years for me too to find this masterpiece. there is no morning, no evening and especially no night without this exact performance. literall chills. thank you so much💗💗💗
Oh, Hey Delilah (basically my response to the response, ig) oh hey, Delilah good to hear you writing back I'd started thinking you'd moved on I'm not sure how i felt about the thought of that Guess i was sad oh hey, Delilah i wrote you a few more songs and if you wanna take a listen I'll pick up all of your calls And play them all We'll stay up till the break of dawn You'll song along [oh, you still get to me oh, you still get to me (x2)] you still get to me oh hey, Delilah i heard you're doing just fine got the job you always talked about left waitressing behind you've got it good you've built the life i knew you would i knew you could oh hey, Delilah I've met girls while on the road and they're all smart, they're all attractive but they never match your soul cause you're divine I'll wait for you and take my time cause you're still mine [oh, you still get to me oh, you still get to me (x2)] i know that it's been way too long I'll play some shows closer to home and wave at you from up there on the stage all the guys still laugh at me cause i can never let you be but they don't feel this way about any girl I've traveled round the world and back but you're still on my mind's one track and I'm not sure if you still feel the same so I'll just say hey there, Delilah been a long time since we talked and I'd be down to share some stories I'll pick up if you'd just call I'm by the line just hit me up if you've got time just know that you'll always be mine I'm glad to hear that you're alright Oh hey, Delilah, I'll be fine

If the response stuck to the canon of this version and not the original background, I imagine it would be right after he broke up with his new girl and would go something like a 3am drunken ex text:
"Hey there Delilah I'm alone and really horny
Standing outside your apartment, do you still got feelings for me?"
Delilah 11 years later: sorry just saw your message, my cousin had my phone
🤣
Lmao
Delilah left him on read for 11 years. What a player
Or like sorry my phone was dead
furthermore she complains about him having a new girl, although she ghosted him xD
I didn’t know how much I needed this version of the song until now! Love it!
Hey there Delilah why’d it take you 15 years to answer
and now we wait
you might wanne look up the original, this is not an answer. unless you have no clue what communication is. this is infact a crappy dub.
@@StalkinU no its not crappy
She broke up with her boyfriend.
I’m confused i just thought it was a joke? Made me laugh if it wasn’t my bad
"A thousand miles is pretty far but nothing breaks my heart enough than watching you forget each part of us". Wonderful.
"Nothing breaks my soul and heart"
As a professional listener, I would just like to say this was perfect to listen to.
Update : It is still perfect to listen to. :) :) :)
As a fellow professional listener, I echo your sentiment.
As another listener, I too agree that this made a very pleasant listen.
@@njiraknott394 I second that, fellow humans.
Professional listener? I like it. Where do I sign up? :)

How am I just now discovering this?! I love it, such a hauntingly beautiful rendition!
I don't get why 3.3k dislikes.. This girl is clearly singing her heart out.. I hope she's happy in real life. Because she deserves it..
Anyone who puts themselves out there(sings in public!) gets my vote. 👏👍
Some people are black holes of negativity and will hate on everything
it might be because of the lip syncing? I have seen a couple comments irritated about that.. that’s the only thing I can think og
there all just jealous 99% of the time people hate for no reason is because there jealous. There so shallow too. They can hate on some one from 2 person view. They don’t know what she’s been through.she’s gorgeous and way too smart to care about the haters. They need to get a life.
It might be about the fact that the original song had been about one sided love. The singer had wrote it about a real woman who didn't like him back and the dude was a bit of a stalker. The woman had been grossed out by the fact he wrote it for her.
She literally sounds as if she cried terribly. It hurt listening to this version so much. I'm happy youtube recommended this to me. :')
I can agree with you on that one
so you both like watching people that are sad ?!
@@7MB4 sadists or masochists hard to decide
See you guys in 5 years when yt recommends this to me again
Just got it today lol maybe it will be back in 5yrs
Hahaha best comment I've seen in a while
got mine today. see you all in 5 years.
This comment is used so many times that it has become annoying
Odd that this was recommend to me like the same day... maybe it's saying something? 😏
This is such a beautiful song that shows a girls real feelings. If I had these words instead of anger, as a man, Id fall in love. Great Job!! Song should be a number one.
This is such a stark contrast with the “Hey it’s Delilah” that was recently created by Kalista Rowan that was a very happy response like you would imagine as an early reply to the original, whereas this one is a COMPLETELY different feeling of pain and loss, where Delilah lost her partner after he was forced to move on. Two different outcomes. Beautiful duality.
I like this one better. I'm a sucker for poetically written tragic love stories.
Cole Allen he was forced to move on cause she waited 15 years to respond
@@matewhatthefuck6516 I concur.
Very well said
Agreed.
This version feels like reading a heartbreaking Novel alone in a park
If Delilah has replied, maybe Annie will finally tell us if she’s ok.
and Sylvia won't be too busy to come to the phone
Lmfao😂😂😂
I think she was hit by a smooth criminal 😂
@@nivay.s1098 imagine if that was a movie, it would be a thriller
if so maybe Stacy's mom knows she's got it goin on and and the guy realized Jessie's girl isn't worth it.
Took TH-cam 3 years to finally recommend Delilah's response
Guess it's better than 13 more years
Not only are the lyrics amazing but I think her voice fits the vibe of the original. Am I the only one?
No, definitely not 😊
Yes 🙌🏽
Yes you are the only one I hate it
Not really in the context of the original they’re still together
No 😊
"Please tell me why you never call"
Me: I mean it has been 13 years...
*crickets chirp in the background*
😐
What do you mean
@@kelseyalexander325 The original song "Hey there delilah" was written 13 years ago, this song is the reply to that song.
@@whartanto2 reply by someone else which makes it odd
Hey be nice she doesn't know they don't have her new cell number XDD
Aw. This is actually perfect. Had chills the whole time
You might be coming down with the virus
I totally relate to this comment
Same!! But I’m in a freezer
Same... didn’t expect that voice 😱😍
Might wanna get that checked out
This is ART! The emotion is genuine and you can see that. You can have the most masterfully arranged notes and appealing lyrics, but without emotion, it is simply not art.
Okay but the concept of this is so heartbreaking. This couple become separated by distance, he calls and misses her, writes a song in his anguish, holding hope that they will reunite. But a decade passes and his life moves on without her. Then, the girl finally tries to call him, but he's no longer waiting by the phone. It's been years, he's moved on because he probably lost hope and thought she moved on. But she never did.
This shit is fucking genius.
it is ...
contemporary romeo and juliet
You get it...
The original song was written about a girl he met once and she barely knew him. At least that’s what the band said when the album came out, they even admitted it was a bit creepy.
Brian sorkin I never knew that but that’s hilarious. That’s so pathetic from them. I like the guy above interpretation more though I really appreciated this song.
If you are acting out the pain, then you're a great actor.
If the pain in your eyes is real, then I'm sorry you had to experience that.
Im not the only one that has seen it!
Absolutely...going through the same thing. She’s amazing isn’t she? Damn.
Hurt is fine
I just can't stand feeling apathetic
@@tieember9596 this.
This
Plot Twist: This is a prequel to the original and after he’s done with the one girl he writes “Hey There Delilah” as a response years later.
I appreciate that twist. Makes me feel better. Couldn't believe they didn't get back together as they should
I like this a lot.
Damn. Fresh lyrics with all of the nostalgia hitting. Well done.
An ex boyfriend dedicated me Hey There Delilah because I was moving to another city, he played the guitar as well. We broke up a few months later but each time I hear that song it brings me back to the moment we were sitting there, listening to that song in my farewell. It reminds me of him, playing the guitar for me. Now I found this song and DUDE IT HITS REEAALLY HARD
I hope you’re doing ok
the song is ab a stalker lmfao
Do you miss him?
@@emma4443 it kind of is. just read the story
Emma C. - I just read her lyrics. They are kind of creepy. They aren’t together any more and she’s calling him multiple times, following his social media posts and “runs” into the guys father, etc. Not exactly a stalker, but it’s definitely someone who should move on and stop bothering that guy lol
Someone should duet with her, so they're singing both songs.
Yessss!
Wait this isnt tikotk 💀
I'd love to lol but it won't happen hey there Delilah is a pretty song
Omgggg agreeeedddd
I would but I can't sing :) well I could try
POV: You're checking the comments in the "what you did to me" parts because thats the only lyrics you already know
You cheeky bastard
Omg yessss
Shut up
what sorcery is this???
omg i just checked and you are right
it took 3 years for me too to find this masterpiece. there is no morning, no evening and especially no night without this exact performance. literall chills. thank you so much💗💗💗
Her facial expressions had me expecting her at any moment to cry whether intentional or not well done and love the creativity of this take on the song
I agree I would love to have a voice like her’s I sound like a dying rat 🥲
Oh, Hey Delilah
(basically my response to the response, ig)
oh hey, Delilah
good to hear you writing back
I'd started thinking you'd moved on
I'm not sure how i felt about the thought of that
Guess i was sad
oh hey, Delilah
i wrote you a few more songs
and if you wanna take a listen
I'll pick up all of your calls
And play them all
We'll stay up till the break of dawn
You'll song along
[oh, you still get to me
oh, you still get to me (x2)]
you still get to me
oh hey, Delilah
i heard you're doing just fine
got the job you always talked about
left waitressing behind
you've got it good
you've built the life i knew you would
i knew you could
oh hey, Delilah
I've met girls while on the road
and they're all smart, they're all attractive
but they never match your soul
cause you're divine
I'll wait for you and take my time
cause you're still mine
[oh, you still get to me
oh, you still get to me (x2)]
i know that it's been way too long
I'll play some shows closer to home
and wave at you from up there on the stage
all the guys still laugh at me
cause i can never let you be
but they don't feel this way about any girl
I've traveled round the world and back
but you're still on my mind's one track
and I'm not sure if you still feel the same
so I'll just say
hey there, Delilah
been a long time since we talked
and I'd be down to share some stories
I'll pick up if you'd just call
I'm by the line
just hit me up if you've got time
just know that you'll always be mine
I'm glad to hear that you're alright
Oh hey, Delilah, I'll be fine
STH that’s amazing bro this needs to get shared
Amazing
this is all making me cry 😭 why is it so sad
Thx guys ❤️
@@nzen8848 idrk lol. I have an easier time writing when I'm sad or angry, so that's how most of my work comes out
Her voice is so smooth. She’s not trying to force volume or pitch or tone, just letting it come out naturally.
It's pre recored thats why it looks so natural
Paul Hawksworth I don’t think so
@@moldzillam261 I think Paul Hawksworth maybe right sir...1min 44 secs, she closes her mouth but a sound is still produced on the mic.... Defo sang before and put over the video...
@@moldzillam261 There are also backing vocals, but I don't see other singers with her :D
Gyuszi Kovács yeah, now I believe you.
Beautiful. Brought me to tears. 57 years old. So much emotion in your voice.
She actually looked like she was going to start crying
I thought so too
That’s how you know if the music hits you emotionally even if it’s not about you personally
this hit my soul so differently honestly like was not expecting this
Amazing voice! Please sing more often.
I read your comment and thought nothing of it and 40 seconds in..holy shit 😍
fr though
Am I the only one who hurts everytime I listen to this melody? The lyrics just speak directly to my soul. It hurts to love an impossible love.
Yes.
it fucking kills to love an impossible love.
I cried big fat tears while listening to it on repeat 😭😭😭
Naw it hit me especially when i heard the response with the same melody.
I feel that.
When your crush leaves you on read but decides to respond 15 years later.
Username a fat L
Sharon J Define L
It’s been 15 years? ...Now I feel old hahaha
13*
Black lives matter
So I’m not the only one who got this in their recommendation
Also she legit sounds like an angel
@chez421 He just said that she basically has a beautiful voice. And you here writing an entire history book.
@Rachael HUMPHREY wtf dude
You ever hear something and it’s just too nice to stop listening
Yes and it wasn’t this.
zeissvc1 cool story
@@zeissvc1 lol
zeissvc1 how?
No
I find myself being back to You singing the song again and again. Thank You for for it! It is pleasure to hear and see You singing it. Blessing
"I'm broken and i feel so small I'm in withdrawal" touches my soul

You can tell this chick means it. She's missing somebody for real.
Not to mention she's obviously incredibly talented.
True
Agreed
Now I wanna know what happened to this beautiful girl... who hurt you?!
Who hasn't missed someone?
I will murder whoever hurt her
Now they we need to combine the two songs to sound like it’s a conversation
Why isnt this pinned ontop ? Someone give this man what we all want rn
Yess I was just thinking that yes yes yes
YESSSSSSSSSS
This.
and then you end it with Hinder's Lips of angel
Omg such a beautiful voice
"Sorry, didn't realise my phone died" - Delilah's excuse for the past 13 years
Probably a Samsung toast.
Epic 🙏
The original is one of my heart songs. Finally hearing Delilah singing back mends one of the age old cracks in me. Thank you, beautiful voice.
She changed the lyrics and the meaning so much. Yet it’s still so close
Her shirt appears to be grey, not a plain white tee.
Omg...
I don't get it
Wow. 👏👏👏 I needed this today... thanks! (not sarcasm I promise)
Yah i dont get it too😭😂🤦🏻♂️
@@leonardvalenzuela9276 Hey There Delilah is by the Plain White T's
This gave me the chills. Pure and simple as can be but grabs you by the heart.
