Hey There Delilah
被譽為世界異地戀之歌的經典. 歌詞講述女孩在紐約就讀,男孩在異鄉為夢鄉打拚，彼此的信念堅定的感人故事.但真實卻是另一種情境.
2003年歌曲作者Tom Higgenson經朋友介紹與紐約哥倫比亞大學Delilah相識, 並為是他見過最美的女人寫下了這首歌曲,歌詞很美,但Delilah此時已有男友,兩人並無交集,所以這首歌其實給Delilah帶來了困擾. 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大學畢業獲社會學學士學位之時,歌曲正式發行,但沉澱了兩年才在2007年大放異彩，從紐約一直唱紅到全球，從夏天一直傳唱到冬天. Delilah:“到處都能聽到這首歌，有時我真想大聲告訴人們這首歌寫的就是我，但我又非常害怕讓別人知道”,Delilah本人隨後參加了這首歌格萊美的頒獎儀式. 2008年作為哥倫比亞大學體育管理的碩士的Delilah,落選全美田徑奧運預選賽3000米障礙項目的選拔,北京奧運之旅未能成行.
