FEBRUARY LOVE SONG #20
Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah"
This seems like the classic romantic moment. A musician likes you so much that he or she decides to write a song about you. There are only a few romantic acts that would top that in my opinion. Unfortunately, there is no happy ending for "Hey There Delilah." While it is certainly a cute love song about loving someone, even if it's a long distance relationship, the singer and the girl do not actually get together. According to Genius, Delilah DiCrescenzo is for whom this song is written. She met the lead singer of Plain White T's (Tom Higgenson) while home on break from school in New York City. Higgenson told her he would write a song about her, and showed up a few months later with a CD that included the track "Hey There Delilah." The song was so popular that it was nominated for a Grammy, although it lost. And, while the world now knows that this love song did not work in terms of getting the girl, that doesn't necessarily mean it can't work for you. Enjoy today's selection!
