    I forgot about this song, and after something like 12 years, today I remembered it again. and this version was the only one I knew, I think I put the very same video into the CZcams converter as I remember the red lettering. Im so so glad I found it!

    I love this version so much more than whats in spotify. The slowed, well enunciated words conveyed a million feelings more than what they simply meant. You could vividly see the story, the regret, the heartache of the storyteller. It painted another side of the story. What if Samson knew and forgave Delilah afterall while quietly accepting his fate as he held her close asking her to come to bed and that everything will be alright. The lines uttered by him "You are my sweetest downfall" is soo complex, the twisted kind of love that fades into sorrow. This song was just a masterpiece beyond its time.

    I always imagined that the line "and the Bible didn't mention us" was her wish, that they never had the falling out and she was able to just be with him, no big story worthy of being in a holy book, just two people in love. I think it's beautiful. Also this version is my favorite ❤

    You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth I have to go, I have to go Your hair was long when we first met Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of Wonder Bread And went right back to bed And the history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads But they're just old light, they're just old light Your hair was long when we first met Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red Told me I was beautiful And came into my bed Oh, I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light And he told me that I'd done alright And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of Wonder Bread And went right back to bed Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one And the history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first

    This was the first version I heard way back in 2010. I was going through an emotional metamorphosis of sorts(I also love the newer version, but this one is much more raw), when I'd listen to it. Id think of a gloomy, rainy day in a dank studio apartment in NYC, playing this on a piano. Amazing how time flies.

    first, i thought Delilah was the one regina's portraying but i realized, the one singing is Delilah's servant whom loved Samson first before Delilah, and she's the real one who cut Samson's hair because Delilah ordered her for she can't cut it herself. unfortunately, her love for Samson is not noticed and her name is unknown.

      nah, in an interview, Regina said that it was all just metaphor. The song was abt her "Samson" who suffered cancer, that's the reason of the hair loss. "he ate a slice of wonder bread" - medicines that "Samson" is taking "I cut his hair myself one night" - she decided to cut/stop the apparatus keeping him alive "we couldn't bring the colums down" - they could not fight the cancer together Regina is such a genius to have used Samson in the bible as the metaphor or basis for this whole song. Its so deep
