Do you listen to any other songs by the Plain White T's?

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

I thought Hanna was his cat the way he called her over🤣

The way he called his girlfriend over is pretty funny 😂

She's definitely pretty enough to have a song written about her 😮

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!

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.

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 💯

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 !!

I was waiting for a cat or dog when he called for his girlfriend 😂😂

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.❤

Why does Cameron talk to his GF like she’s a toddler? 😂 “okay, and what else did your teacher say buddy?"

Excellent commentary on one of my favorite songs... Thank you

Def love hey there delilah coz it brings nostalgia to me

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.

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

Very interesting topic for a video, I liked this very much, keep it up

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.

You literally just killed my entire childhood

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.

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... -_-

So what happened to her? Misleading title!

You forgot the part where she got a restraining order against him

Inspirations come at all angles

The response song is great to hey there Delilah

Why did you call your girlfriend like if you called a cat? How cute

A Grammy-caliber love song written about you isn’t scary, it’s just plain MAGICAL!

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.

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.

So, what happened to Delilah?

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.

Scary? She said scary? Oh gowd. Why these girls even ...

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 thought he was calling his pet and not his girlfriend but oh well it’s kinda cute ig

so...........................what happened to her?

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.

It's sad. I can remember every girl who took my breath away at first look.

Thank u for break the myth.

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..

0:51 the thought wasnt mutual. let me promise u that, bud.

Not me imagining that Delilah is his gf and they got marred and have kids and they’re so happy and perfect for eachother

Hannah is 100% a mail order bride 😂😂😂

If I was in her shoes I’d fall in love w him after that song

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.

…writes a song about your GF AND invites her to the Grammys!! Not to your Grammys house, to THE Grammys!!! 😤😤

What a Story.

The songs fame came arguabley from MySpace.

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.

Makes me think of Layla. Clapton. George Harrison. Pattie Boyd.

Really bro? Call her like a cat?? What do you have? Rent a bride?

Good story.

Definitely faster but you can still do better champion

Her teeth are brighter then my future good lord

Hannah come here girl! 😆

I’m scared

So she was bored when they met, lol.

Bruh that’s my name

Makes sense she’s sm prettier than him, she’d never date him

Passport bro 😂

Why did you call her like this?😂 4:06

She's Drake's muse right now... 🥴🙃🫠 lol

You talk about it being creepy and then summon your gf like she is cat or toddler now that’s creepy

? So did delihia sue, this is a law suit. Big $$$$$ . Tab. This is big money for her🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷

Bro simpin harder.

W friendzone

The ultimate simp.

This is so creepy 😂

:D

I sub and like, now you love me right. Say it. SAY IT!

The guy's a dork. Leave him.

W 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.

They should have been together
