Imma be honest I knew them because of "Hey there Delilah" I heard one of their other song's once but I had no clue until basically just now that they were the same people that did well the song you were talking about in your video
I went to HighSchool with Delilah and ran track with her. She had beat so many track and field and cross country records in our state. She got a full scholarship to Columbia University in New York. I am a year younger than her so in September of 2001 when New York City was under attack, our biggest fear was Delilah's well-being and she did call and keep in touch with what was going on. She did train for the Olympics, but never made it past the trials. She is still a runner with a lot of achievements. This to say she's pretty famous in her own sphere. There is some inside baseball stories about Tom and Delilah, but I prefer to let the lore live on. It is such a beautiful song
If everything told on the internet is a lie, i wonder what we should believe. An average person that personally knew delilah definitely not gonna make a video of delilah's story and post it online. Delilah's clos3 friends surely aren't gonna reveal her private life.
I actually knew Delilah from high school-we ended up in the same creative writing class together, of all things. She was this powerhouse on the track team, always setting records and taking home trophies, especially in cross country. She ended up getting a full scholarship to Columbia, which was huge. I remember when 9/11 happened in her first semester; all of us back home were so anxious, but she kept in touch and let us know she was safe. She eventually trained for the Olympics, though she didn’t make it past the trials. She’s still a well-known name in the running world, though. There are even some funny stories about her and Tom that we used to share, but honestly, it’s nice to let those stay part of the mystery. Makes that song feel a little more magical, you know?
Wow! That is amazing because Delilah is so powerfully bittersweet that it just goes straight to your heart. I never thought they ended up together. Long distance relationships are hard enough for anybody, but almost impossible when you are that young, which just gives it a sort of tragic sincerity. That he could make it all up and sound so real shows what a gifted song writer Tom is.
Great insight on the song, thank you. It shouldn’t be as weird as it seems. Had Higgenson just explained that the second half of the song was a hypothetical ending to an inspired beginning, I’m sure it would have checked out.
I just cried to this song and was like WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR LOVE. I'm so glad you made this video lol as, it greatly explained a lot. It was also nice having someone to go through the surprise with. You know, when I found out it was all not in the name of true love. Lol but ya ty for making this video. How amazing this story is, have a nice/great day!
I'm so grateful for your video. I came across you after watching the short where Tom showed up to sing for Delilah Loya. Hearing the rest of the real story only endears me more and not only encourages me to look for his earlier albums, but also subscribe to you. To answer the question you asked the female at the end... I found it to be incredibly romantic and also simply poetic. I do understand how her boyfriend and his girlfriend may have felt. Still... he kept a promise. Much peace to you. ❤ 🙏
Love the song so so much and I always wondered what the story was about it, so thank you for making this video and I am now subscribed...you caught my attention immediately with this video 💯
Dude is a no-game simp, so he’s lucky she didn’t play him for half of everything and the royalties too. I mean, he was probably looking for love based off sight, and in a way I feel bad he never got to slam it; but hey, I’m sure there weren’t plenty of Delilah’s backstage, on the tour bus, and at the hotel to fill the void.
OMG why did you have to tell us. 😢😢 I always thought he wrote this song about the woman he loved and knowing he didn't even get to date her breaks my heart. This was my song.❤
Her and her boyfriend were harassed by fans for years. She tried suing to have her name removed from the song from so much unwanted attention. She only met the singer once
At the 4:00 mark, commenters be HARSHING on how he asks his girlfriend over to speak about the song. I appreciate the background on the song and wish Cameron and Hannah only the best. Because, that's what they mean to me. Oh, that's what they mean to me.
you got the whole thing wrong? she was creeped out when she kept hearing the song over the radios, elevator music, mall music, everything. Said it in an interview.
3:16 "and Tom says, 'No way.. me and my girlfriend just broke up..'" Maybe 'cause he spent all his time coming up with this amazing love song to A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GIRL..
they shouldve ditched the 2 and married each other... however... i lov how they can actually prove to the world that wow! girls and guys can b just friends... -_-
Delilah would have married him and since he told her she inspired the song, eventually she would have divorced him, took ALL THE MONIES he made on the song and left him broke and alone, maybe, with his guitar. It happened to Peter Frampton. He told his girlfriend/wife The Frampton comes Alive album was "INSPIRED" by her, she took HALF the monies from that monumental album in a divorce settlement.
...when you called for your girlfriend, I thought you were calling your cat, or dog in the picture 😊 however; thanks man for the reality of the awesome song ~ kudos too the author; Tom Hutchinson {the Metropolitan Chicago 5th Beatle} too ME, a very Beatlesque' lad/song
Wild that he fullfilled the prophecy, unfortunate didnt get together lol. Crazy he also made it out of blue, i am bit dissapointed its not based of real story because seems so authentic and real, very beatyfull song to. Atleast went to grammys together. Good vid.
Tom didn't get Deliliah doesn't mean you won't make it with your crush. Just take out your guitar and shoot this song to her. Any girl is bound to have butterflies all around, hearing it, imo. Best Wishes.
this voice he uses to call his girl? I thought for sure he was calling his cat and it was a joke. so he used his cat voice to call his girl? or his sister is sitting on his lap which is more probable.
there are unfortunately other wills in the game than the will of God. the will of her own, the will of satan, the will of yours, etc. if there was only the will of God, no angels would have been fallen, or no souls would be in hell right now!
Do you listen to any other songs by the Plain White T's?
Not really
Imma be honest I knew them because of "Hey there Delilah" I heard one of their other song's once but I had no clue until basically just now that they were the same people that did well the song you were talking about in your video
Hehehe! I thought so tooooo 😅
Me too!
Our time now slaps!!!!!!!

My wife went to Columbia, I was stationed out in Hawaii. And this song played all over
@juliagulia6955 SHE looks old like a grandma
Liar liar pants on fire lol
Anything is possible when you lie

I thought Hanna was his cat the way he called her over🤣
😅😂🤣😭😩
For real
Me three 😂
Exactly what I thought 😄
ME TOO!!😂😂

this was my mother's favorite song she was always singing the verse "what you do to me" sadly my mother passed away in 2012 miss her terribly.
My mother passed away in 2011, I know the feeling ♥️
She's definitely pretty enough to have a song written about her 😮
Who? Delilah or Hanna?
Great insight on the song, thank you. It shouldn’t be as weird as it seems. Had Higgenson just explained that the second half of the song was a hypothetical ending to an inspired beginning, I’m sure it would have checked out.
Why does Cameron talk to his GF like she’s a toddler? 😂 “okay, and what else did your teacher say buddy?"
my gf is my babygirl too 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Excellent commentary on one of my favorite songs... Thank you
A Grammy-caliber love song written about you isn’t scary, it’s just plain MAGICAL!
I was waiting for a cat or dog when he called for his girlfriend 😂😂
So who else listens to the song right after watching this?
Love the song so so much and I always wondered what the story was about it, so thank you for making this video and I am now subscribed...you caught my attention immediately with this video 💯
If he & Delilah had kept on with each other for a little time & she had asked where was her song, I believe not weird at all.
I just listened the song and story for the first time. I was about to go dig the info on it, saved a lot of time man. Thanks !!
You literally just killed my entire childhood
Dude is a no-game simp, so he’s lucky she didn’t play him for half of everything and the royalties too. I mean, he was probably looking for love based off sight, and in a way I feel bad he never got to slam it; but hey, I’m sure there weren’t plenty of Delilah’s backstage, on the tour bus, and at the hotel to fill the void.
So what happened to her? Misleading title!
OMG why did you have to tell us. 😢😢 I always thought he wrote this song about the woman he loved and knowing he didn't even get to date her breaks my heart. This was my song.❤
You forgot the part where she got a restraining order against him
Did she really??
this was an old rumor from when the song got popular. This clearly hasn’t happened
Her and her boyfriend were harassed by fans for years. She tried suing to have her name removed from the song from so much unwanted attention. She only met the singer once
This can’t be proven unless you have sources, which Im having trouble scouring for on google
At the 4:00 mark, commenters be HARSHING on how he asks his girlfriend over to speak about the song. I appreciate the background on the song and wish Cameron and Hannah only the best. Because, that's what they mean to me. Oh, that's what they mean to me.
Hahaha thank you ❤️
you got the whole thing wrong? she was creeped out when she kept hearing the song over the radios, elevator music, mall music, everything. Said it in an interview.
That’s what I said isn’t it? She was creeped out because she didn’t even know him
@@CameronExplores ohhhh sorry, I was watching both yours and another video and the other one said that she loved the song. That's my blunder, sorry.
So, what happened to Delilah?
Very interesting topic for a video, I liked this very much, keep it up
I just can’t get over the fact that this dude was calling to his girlfriend like a dog with a little high pitch squeak come here
3:16 "and Tom says, 'No way.. me and my girlfriend just broke up..'"
Maybe 'cause he spent all his time coming up with this amazing love song to A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GIRL..
Omg that “Anna come here, heeeere” I was like oh his dog is fawning or cat is being bossy. Then a human appeared and I laughed my ass off. 4:15
Def love hey there delilah coz it brings nostalgia to me
Why did you call your girlfriend like if you called a cat? How cute
they shouldve ditched the 2 and married each other... however... i lov how they can actually prove to the world that wow! girls and guys can b just friends... -_-
Makes me think of Layla. Clapton. George Harrison. Pattie Boyd.
so...........................what happened to her?
I'm surprised he didn't shake a box of treats when he called Hannah over. LMFAO
Kind of an interesting side note, Jessica Ricca has a fantastic version of Hey there Delilah written from Delilah's perspective.
I always thought this song was about the DJ on the radio named Delilah. The nationally syndicated program.
Never any romance?? Probably on the surface but deep down, he knows thst might was frickin MAGICAL
Scary? Ever heard of love at first sight, or romance? You younger people are terrified of life, i feel sorry for you.
I thought he was calling his pet and not his girlfriend but oh well it’s kinda cute ig
Why girls love to be petted ?? 🙄 Saw 3 more girls above commenting the same about how cute it is .
@@arnoldschwarzenigga2268 who said I like to petted and that I’m a girl? Your confusing dude.
It's sad. I can remember every girl who took my breath away at first look.
Delilah would have married him and since he told her she inspired the song, eventually she would have divorced him, took ALL THE MONIES he made on the song and left him broke and alone, maybe, with his guitar.
It happened to Peter Frampton. He told his girlfriend/wife The Frampton comes Alive album was "INSPIRED" by her, she took HALF the monies from that monumental album in a divorce settlement.
U don’t know that
People can be so ungrateful...
Not me imagining that Delilah is his gf and they got marred and have kids and they’re so happy and perfect for eachother
...when you called for your girlfriend, I thought you were calling your cat, or dog in the picture 😊 however; thanks man for the reality of the awesome song ~ kudos too the author; Tom Hutchinson {the Metropolitan Chicago 5th Beatle} too ME, a very Beatlesque' lad/song
Thank u for break the myth.
Scary? She said scary? Oh gowd. Why these girls even ...
If I was in her shoes I’d fall in love w him after that song
Inspirations come at all angles
I always wondered what happened to the woman who was mentioned in the song Dahlia
The response song is great to hey there Delilah
Wild that he fullfilled the prophecy, unfortunate didnt get together lol. Crazy he also made it out of blue, i am bit dissapointed its not based of real story because seems so authentic and real, very beatyfull song to. Atleast went to grammys together. Good vid.
Being a nice chic i went ahead and liked 👍 subscribed ✅ but am curious to see what other contents have . 😊 Lol
I always the song was all about the nighttime radio personality Delilah😂
Tom didn't get Deliliah doesn't mean you won't make it with your crush. Just take out your guitar and shoot this song to her. Any girl is bound to have butterflies all around, hearing it, imo. Best Wishes.
Check out EZ Band version of Hey There Delilah they made into a spanglish version of it and it's great
…writes a song about your GF AND invites her to the Grammys!! Not to your Grammys house, to THE Grammys!!! 😤😤
Definitely faster but you can still do better champion
Next video I’m kicking in the turbos 😎
Really bro? Call her like a cat?? What do you have? Rent a bride?
Yeah like 10 of them
Hanna blink your eye if your being held not under your control..
Great song
The songs fame came arguabley from MySpace.
You talk about it being creepy and then summon your gf like she is cat or toddler now that’s creepy
Guess the joke went over your head
She's Drake's muse right now... 🥴🙃🫠 lol
Good story.
Makes sense she’s sm prettier than him, she’d never date him
So she was bored when they met, lol.
Why did you call her like this?😂 4:06
Kinda reminds me of the bible story of samson and delilah 😊
Idk why lol...its just the first time i heard the name delilah lol
Her teeth are brighter then my future good lord
I’m scared
I felt better about the song before watching the video 😢
Passport bro 😂
Why why why Delilah.
This is so creepy 😂
Drake got me curious
What a Story.
Calling your gf over like she’s a cat is still a little more cringe than some guy writing a song about some girl tbh 😹
@@Fanzindel Maybe that’s why she broke up with me 😂
@@CameronExplores shhheitt i hope you got through it and move on😢
don't be like me stuck in the love past for 7 years
Hannah come here girl! 😆
2024: Delilah reports him for doxing and sues him for invasion of privacy, he’s cancelled by Twitter then prosecuted for stalking.
? So did delihia sue, this is a law suit. Big $$$$$ . Tab. This is big money for her🤔🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷
W friendzone
I sub and like, now you love me right. Say it. SAY IT!
LOVE U
@@CameronExplores a beautiful friendship has been formed!
Bruh that’s my name
Bro simpin harder.
The guy's a dork. Leave him.
Lmao
The ultimate simp.
:D
W rizz
or L rizz?
this voice he uses to call his girl? I thought for sure he was calling his cat and it was a joke. so he used his cat voice to call his girl? or his sister is sitting on his lap which is more probable.
I was calling my girlfriend, it was just a joke 😂
They should have been together
there are unfortunately other wills in the game than the will of God. the will of her own, the will of satan, the will of yours, etc. if there was only the will of God, no angels would have been fallen, or no souls would be in hell right now!
and also im brave enough to say that they, also, would be together
