Hey There Delilah
被誉为世界异地恋之歌的经典. 歌词讲述女孩在纽约就读,男孩在异乡为梦乡打拼，彼此的信念坚定的感人故事.但真实却是另一种情境.
2003年歌曲作者Tom Higgenson经朋友介绍与纽约哥伦比亚大学Delilah相识, 并为是他见过最美的女人写下了这首歌曲,歌词很美,但Delilah此时已有男友,两人并无交集,所以这首歌其实给Delilah带来了困扰. Tom: “There was never anything between us. It was kind of funny — kind of sad, actually.The story of my life… I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I told her, ‘I have a song about you already.’ Obviously, there was no song. But I thought it was smooth.” Delilah: “It was so beautifully written”, she says. “There was pressure to live up to this ideal. I didn’t know how to be polite but, you know, ditch him.”
2005年Delilah大学毕业获社会学学士学位之时,歌曲正式发行,但沉淀了两年才在2007年大放异彩，从纽约一直唱红到全球，从夏天一直传唱到冬天. Delilah:“到处都能听到这首歌，有时我真想大声告诉人们这首歌写的就是我，但我又非常害怕让别人知道”,Delilah本人随后参加了这首歌格莱美的颁奖仪式. 2008年作为哥伦比亚大学体育管理的硕士的Delilah,落选全美田径奥运预选赛3000米障碍项目的选拔,北京奥运之旅未能成行.
