*cough* im gonna kill myself edit: looking back on this a year later this was very insensitive of me to say so my apologies i just dont want to delete it bc im an attention whore
the guy who made this song said that Delilah and him were never dating he just saw her at a party and said she was the most beautiful girl he had ever saw. He was trying to impress her and said he wrote a song about her and she said oh really I'd liked to hear it sometime. When he left he was rushed to make a song and when he did it hit top 10 billboard music. Delilah already had a boyfriend,but agreed to go to the grammys as his date. I think that this is so cute that he did all of this for her even tho he knew she didn't feel the same way about him.

my dad used to sing this to me when I was younger and visited in the summer, always the night before I left again for my moms. Depressing shit. But hey, I live with him now! So it’s all good.
I'm sorry about that. Family problems suck. My dad would also cheer me up like that before I had to go back, depressing for me too. I hope you have a good day :)
Just spend all the time you can with him and be grateful that you have him while you do, I regret distancing myself from mine... and when I tried to talk to him again it was already too late. He was gone.
Hey there, Delilah What's it like in New York city? I'm a thousand miles away But, girl, tonight you look so pretty Yes, you do Times Square can't shine as bright as you I swear, it's true Hey there, Delilah Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely Give this song another listen Close your eyes Listen to my voice, it's my disguise I'm by your side Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me What you do to me Hey there, Delilah I know times are gettin' hard But just believe me, girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would My word is good Hey there, Delilah I've got so much left to say If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall We'd have it all Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me A thousand miles seems pretty far But they've got planes and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way Our friends would all make fun of us And we'd just laugh along because we'd know That none of them have felt this way Delilah, I can promise you That by the time that we get through The world will never ever be the same And you're to blame Hey there, Delilah You be good, and don't you miss me Two more years and you'll be done with school And I'll be makin' history like I do You know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there, Delilah, here's to you This one's for you Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me What you do to me, oh oh, woah, woah Oh woah, oh Oh
My girlfriend recently broke up with me. We had a long distance relationship. This was our favorite song and our dream was to live in NYC. We would go swimming, watch movies together with one word live the best life. She was amazing and i hate now that she is gone. I send her a voice audio telling her that I miss her a lot and I hope she comes back. We broke up bc her parents found out and they forced her to not talk to me. I love her and I will never stop loving her. My heart hurts a lot and I hope I get to see her one day 🤧 |~|~Update|~| : i found out that she lied to me. Her patents didn’t find out, she just wanted to break up with me. It does hurt that she lied, id rather have her tell me the truth even tho its gonna hurt. But i saw some videos of her laughing and happy in general. I promised her that I would do anything to make her happy even if i had to let go. I guess its what she wanted |~|~Update 2022|~| : i fully moved on from her and now im with someone that actually loves me gives me love that no one else has ever given to me. Crazy to think that i thought id never find the one but im sure i did this time. I want to thank everyone in the comments, i read every single one of them :). Thank you guys for being there for me when no one was
as someone in a long distance relationship, i feel that this song is something i can go to give me hope that our relationship is more powerful than the miles between us.
As somebody who tried and failed to maintain a long distance relationship, I wish you both the best. There will be times when the distance feels stronger than you, and that's okay because it will make you both stronger.
Daniel Rhodes he actually broke up with me last wednesday. he lied and cheated, and i have been having a very rough time with it. i wanted it more than he did. but thank you very much, and i wish you the best in finding the true person for you.
Phizzlas_ Soda_Brutha well jokes on I was born in the early 2010’s so basically I was watching Sesame Street and then a parody of Hey There Delilah ,and it was about the letter T ,and that song plus this song is stuck in my head
She's in Australia. I'm in Michigan. We met on my Discord server, but she's supposed to come here in June....I guess I'll leave an update. UPDATE 2/24/2021: Holy fuck. Well, since COVID happened, June didn't end up happening. We're still together (and madly fucking in love) a year later, and we are still making plans to meet! She already sent me a box of various items from her room a couple months back and I cherish it. Also I'm a chick lol EDIT: Okay holy shit I keep reading these replies and I wanna cryyyy I feel so bad that everyone thought she left (or died? Lol not if I can help it) We are still together and we're very happy together. I'm so sorry again for not coming back to update! 2.2k of you???? Wow. FINAL EDIT: I posted this comment in the replies but just in case it gets buried: I'm floored by your comments and interest in how we're doing! Long distance we've learned, is really hard, painful and stressful, but she's the only person I have ever met with such a beautiful kindness and spirit. She's shown me love over the past year that I can't say I ever expected, especially given the distance. Supporting me throughout my transition, constantly doing wonderful things for me, even from how far away she is. COVID fucked our world up for real. She still hasn't even started on getting her Visa, but we're not worried and we're not going anywhere. You all are really cool folks, you should join my Discord server: NZQh8Jpuqa (I'd love to meet y'guys) Also Whaylon hmu we can collab
What the absolute fuck, I've never met another American in a long distance relationship with a girl in Australia, really it's the peak of "long distance" and I get a lot of shit for it but wow another person. She's in Australia, I'm in Vermont.
This sends pure chills down my spine and brings tears to my eyes. (YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS NEXT PART.) I was a really lonely kid. My parents were spilt and I never got to talk to my dad and my nanny (grandma). They were heavily influential in a bad way, and I had alot of trauma because of my father. My mom was abusive. Her boyfriend always made me feel terrible. My brother was abusive. We lived with her boyfriends grandparents. They were very old people and really cared about their house being a certain way. His grandma would always want to look through our closets and our room for some reason, and we had no privacy. Yet I always felt safe in that house. Their outside dogs, (Sassy, Bo, Hershey, and the neighbors dog, aka her sons dog, Sweets.) would always keep my company. I cannot even begin to explain how many days I spent outside with those dogs. The hours just passed like seconds. They were some of the best days of my life. One day our dog ran away with Hershey and they knocked up. She had a litter of six puppies. We had to keep them in a kiddie pool cause we could have them running around. We also kept them in a bin when they got big enough. It hurt me so much after awhile because in the middle of the summer, we had to keep them outside in a dog cage with bricks pressed up againts the entrance so they couldnt run around on the porch. It was so hot in there and they were suffering in the heat and I couldnt do anything. The first day I saw a certain puppy I knew he was mine forever. I named him Herc. (After Hercules Mulligan. Hamilton thing.) I loved that dog with all my heart. Everywhere I went he was right there with me. But the other dogs were killers. One day his grandma forced us to put the puppys in a cage outside so they wouldnt be on the porch. I knew they weren't safe immidiately. I hated every second of it and I held Herc so close to me to the point I was crying and screaming that I wasnt putting him in that cage. Either way they made me. A few weeks passed and one day my mom came outside and her face just dropped. She said "Is that what I think it is.." ..One of the puppys was killing Herc. I instantly dropped to the ground and everything felt like everything stopped. My heart just broke. I was screaming that it was his grandmas fault and everytime I said something my mom hit me, but I wouldn't stop. I couldn't bear to see his body. But for some reason I walked over there to see his stomach wide open and his poor lifeless body on the ground. It hurt so bad. My mom and brother put his body in a suitcase and burried him. I was hugging Sassy and crying my eyes out. It felt like she understood. Like she knew how I felt. Her head was lowered onto my back like she was hugging me back. My mom and brother were laughing the entire time they burried him and making jokes about it. I couldn't stand it. I cried so much that day. A few months later we left that house. When we left, our neighbor (His grandmas son) took sweets inside and never let her out again. Either she passed and they didn't tell anyone, (they never talked with us or anyone else really) or she just stayed inside. A few months after that, Bo went missing. I'm guessing he was killed because he never came home to me. I know how weird this sounds, but those dogs were family to me. Actual family. It felt like they were my parents, and they taught me alot. Hershey taught me trust. It didn't take alot to gain his trust, but he hated everyone else. He didn't like people very much, and never came around me or anyone else but my moms boyfriends grandpa. His owner. That dog was a brother to me. He protected me. Sassy was my mother, in a weird way. At the same time she was also my companion. I can't put this into words well. She just always was there like a mother. We had an insane spiritual bond. Sweets was just Sweets. She was an amazing and loving dog. Bo was my father. Again this is also hard to explain so I'll skip that. But again, spiritual bond. When I played with those dogs, when I roamed around on his Pop's land, I didn't feel human. It's like time completely stopped. I didn't feel pain, fear or sorrow. I felt at peace. I felt no emotions. I just felt free. The best memory I have of Herc was a night we drove to the store. I was holding Herc while my brother was holding Ace, one of the puppys he liked. Herc was alsep. It felt so peaceful. Ace got taken to a good family by one of his grandmas other sons. Once Herc died, I made a promise I would protect the second runt of the bunch. Her name is BB. I swore I wouldnt let the same thing happen to her that happend to him. You might be wondering why I'm saying all this, but Herc always had a liking to a small bear that my moms boyfriend had on his shelf. When you clicked the button on its foot, a little LED would flash and it would spin a rose around singing this song. This song means the world to me and it brings back so many memories that I hope I never forget. I'm putting this comment here so that not only will I have it forever, but so other people can hear their story. I never want them to be forgotten. Rest in peace, Bo, Herc, Possibly Sweets, Little Hershey (Puppy), Ganon (Puppy, killer), Boss (Sweet dog that Ganon killed). I'll miss you all, and I hope one day we all get to meet again.
this was amazing to read. dogs have a connection to us like no one could. i am truly so sorry about Herc ( I love the Hamilton reference btw ) and about your abusive family. I hope you and BB stay safe and you are able to find some peace and happiness.
@Will Some people are just horrible like that but we have to go on for the ones that actually care for us. We gotta think of all the memories were going to look back on one day and smile at.
*screams while aggressively crying* DELILAH I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT BY THE TIME THAT WE GET THROUGH THE WORLD WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAAAAAME AND YOURE TO BLAAME
Something just hit me. I used to listen to “Hey There Delilah” nightcore version before and ofc the original but as time went on, I now almost always listen to slowed and reverb versions of my once happy songs. Kinda hit hard for me but I like slowed and reverb more, the lyrics are more emphasized and amazing 🥺💗
When my ex boyfriend broke up with me, I could hardly get out of bed. I couldn’t think about him without crying. My guy best friend knew how sad I was so he convinced his mom to come pick me up. We went on a long drive to a mountain about an hour from our house, singing this song at the top of our lungs. I’m so grateful to have a friend like him. He’s the best thing to ever happen to me. Just felt like sharing. Hope this wholesome story made someone smile. 💗
My uncle recently passed and he used to like this song. this has helped me release the emotions that are held deep inside behind all the "I'm ok"s as the "oh its fine"s. You put on a brave face when someone talks about it with you but when your alone, the mask just fades away and you're left with a person who has a dam inside of them. They feel the amount of pressure on the dam. When you're finally alone, the dam falls into a million pieces. The tidal wave of emotions floods your face with tears. You cry, and cry, and cry. When the flood is passing through, it takes happiness, goodness, and bubbliness with it. You're left empty, with absolutely nothing. You continue crying until there is nothing left. You sit there with absolutely nothing. You hide sad and afraid. But then, you remember a good memory. Then you keep remembering all the happy things that you've done together. And you remember, this isn't how they would want you to be, sad. They would want you to remember the good things you've done with them. They would want you to be happy. With or without them. You would sit there reminiscing all the good things that happened. All the happy memories. And you remember, they are in a better place now. They don't have to suffer. You miss them but they would want you to move on. They know what's best for you.
This one popped up in my recommendations. It hurts. Been over 2 months and I still think about her every day. The distance got to be too much, the words she said that made me cry the most were, “maybe in a different universe we make it”. I wish I was in that universe.
Andrew C tbh im not not into guys at all but i dated this guy back in november and tbh it still fucks with my head sometimes but ive met this girl her parents r homophobic and she lives in georgia i live in ny she told me to listen to this and said if me and her end up shes wants it tp be our song she makes me happy so thats good but it will get better i promise she probably wasnt that good for you their r always better girls out there or guys out there just keep ur head up and keep smili stay strong you got this 💛
My mom used to sing this song when she was pregnant with me.....now she abused me and i have no mom for mothers day.....yep i'm fine. Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REPLIES💕💕💖
my older brother always played this for me on his guitar every night, ever since i was little. now that i'm in highschool (and he gave me his guitar) i play it on my own, and i get so happy whenever it comes on :")
Imagine this. You’re in a car with your closest friends. Its 2009. You’re driving to the party, when this song plays. You sing it through. When it gets to the good part, you all sing powerfully. You slowly feel a tear running down your eye. You’re having the time of your life. :’)
why does this make it seem like the original version is him when he’s like kinda young in his teens having his first love and the slower version is of him a little older on to someone else who he finally thought would be the one and he’s in that “this is my final love” phase realizing that it’s not true just me? okay 😂
I know nobody cares but this song makes me cry so much. Like it was just a really big part of my childhood and I can remember listening to it on the ride home at 10pm from being out all day at soccer games and the mall and just enjoying life and I just remember when my siblings and I got along and when my family was good. And last year me and my friends basically made it “our song” and now we’re so distant and don’t get along that much and I just wish it could all be fine again. I want to redo everything. But I know I can’t and that’s what hurts
Song hits different when its New Year's Eve, our one year anniversary, and the most amazing girl you've met is a grade under, your going off to college within the next year, and your parents are pressuring you to go away from home for college... I know long distance doesn't have to a bad thing and can be in some ways really good for a relationship but man... shits hard.
there was a very small list of songs that hit me as a child. - sweet escape - hey ya - glamorous - hey there delilah this was the one that stuck on me like glue, and to this day it's still one of my favorite songs. everyone has that song that is their childhood, and this is mine. i was only 4 or 5, but this was everything to me back then.
this song makes me really really sad or a sort of melancholy happy happy, kind of like when you think of something sweet but you dont have it... theres no in between
we probably aren’t talking about the same one because even as a band kid I can’t tell keys for shit, buuut there’s another snazzy version that @april.twentieth posted; it sounds spooky and it’s really cool ☺️
So ik this song is about a long distance relationship and actually i'm in one now and its going...okay. But that's not the point. i want to share some of my youngest memories with someone that will read. I remember being in my moms small red Toyota just driving. She would put on this song and she would be sweetly singing me the lyrics, me dancing in the backseat. I really love my mom. She made me so happy even when the world was falling apart around me, Now that I'm older, i realized what happened to me and my family back then I don't want to get into it bc it's kinda a sensitive topic but, she made me really happy when the world around me fell apart. I haven't seem my mo in three weeks bc me and my sisters had to fly out so we don't catch COVID-19 (she works in the hospital) so things are kinda hard now. I hope everyone is safe.
This was our song but I still have hope :) Edit: today we met up and cuddled for a few hours Edit: he sang this for me over FaceTime today Edit: he’s not worth it
I love how slow this one is, it gives you time to calm down and listen to the lyrics. Compared to this one the original just sounds rushed (don't get me wrong it's a cute song either way lol)
i wrote this for someone ignore it hey there cornelia whats it like back there in belguim im ten thousand miles away but tonight you look so pretty times square can't shine as bright as you i swear it's true hey there cornelia don't you worry about the distance i'm right there if you get lonely give this song another listen close your eyes listen to my voice thats my disguise im by your side oh, it's what you do to me! oh it's what you do to me~ what you do to me... hey there cornelia i know times are getting hard just believe me girl some day i'll pay the bills with this guitar we'll have it good we'll have the life we planned we would my word is good hey there cornelia i've got so much left to say if every simple joke i said to you would make you so happy i'd tell them all even more in love with you i'd fall we'd have it all oh it's what you do to me oh it's what you do to me oh it's what you do to me oh it's what you do to me ten thousand miles seems pretty far but they've got plains and trains and cars i'd swim to you if i had no other way! our best friends make fun of us and we'll just laugh along because we know that none of them have felt this way cornelia i can promise you that by the time that we get through the world will never ever be the same and we're to blame hey there cornelia you're the best and don't you miss me half a year and then high school and we'll be making history as we do you know it's all because of you this ones for you we can do whatever we want to hey there cornelia heres to you this ones for you oh it's what you do to me oh it's what you do to me oh it's what you do to me oh it's what you do to me oh ohh, ohh ohh oh... oh oh... wo-oah... were both in year six, high school starts in year seven here and we're gonna meet after year twelve, can ou blow this up so i can see it in seven years?
I am in a LDR and my boyfriend lives in NY and I live in Florida. He is the best person that has ever walked into my life. I love him so much. We have been together for a year and he always tells me, "I love you and nobody could ever change that. You are all I want and need. We might be hours apart but that won't change a thing." It is also really funny because in 2 years I will be done with HS and I dream about finally meeting him. So far he has sent me this really pretty necklace and I keep it as a reminder that even though we are miles apart, it isn't impossible. On top of all of this he is my first true love. The type of love where I am **sure** I want to be with this person for the rest of my life. So to anyone in a LDR: Don't let anyone tell you , "It won't work out." Because half of the relationships where people date and live down the road from eachother don't last for a month 😂 By week 2 they have, "Together forever." In their bio. I do advise though ALWAYS stay safe in a relationship if it is LD. Don't ignore the red flags.
You don’t have to read this part it’s just a sad story So last year I had this friend group with 2 people so 3 of us let’s calm them person 1 and person 2 we were best friends we were always laughing and crying we were always there for each other until one day they both became really toxic they were toxic before but I didn’t notice they would twist my words tell lies about me have other people threatening me but the worst part was I knew they never cared about me I still have them chances I loved them after a whole school year of toxic friends I finally let go of them and met the best person In my life she’s awesome and she actually cares but I am still crying about the people last year I know have social anxiety and am scared to talk to people My advice lisen to your gut feeling if you don’t feel good about a person then drop them
Windi Galaxy lost my closest friends to toxicity , always putting me down and pushing me further away from them, when all I wanted to do was make memories and have fun, I’m lucky to have one real friend, I would rather have that one friend then all those fake ones that were not good for me, trust me it gets better bro❤️
Michael Campbell aww thx it’s just so hard to move on even after all the hard this they put you through I have amazing friends now but it’s hard to move
I’m in New York City!! It’s beautiful here it’s for my birthday and I brung my friend and we sneak out at 3am and blast this song while skateboarding 🥺 it’s a vibe
Omg...I remember when I was 8 and I was jamming out and... When I was 13 last year I went through my first heart break and this song was with me... *-Oh just what you do to me...-*
This song hits hard because everyone I’ve asked out rejects me. Everyone I know things that I’m worthless and a loser because nobody ever will like me the way I want to. I only want to give them the world. It’s to the point now that I am scared to ask people simple questions, say hello to people, and feel that I need to put up a facade that I’m ok.
I want you to know that, you will one day meet the one and you are not worthless you are amazing. And you are NOT a loser. I’m only 11 but I hope this helped you a bit.❤️💕
someday you're gonna meet the right person who is never gonna make you doubt about your worth and she/he will be willing to give you the world aswell, have a good day/night

Oh no that might be a sign of... ya know but I hope not, well its been 1 month thou, how are u guys doin??
She always leaves me on opened.
SAME GIRLIE
the guy who made this song said that Delilah and him were never dating he just saw her at a party and said she was the most beautiful girl he had ever saw. He was trying to impress her and said he wrote a song about her and she said oh really I'd liked to hear it sometime. When he left he was rushed to make a song and when he did it hit top 10 billboard music. Delilah already had a boyfriend,but agreed to go to the grammys as his date. I think that this is so cute that he did all of this for her even tho he knew she didn't feel the same way about him.
Wow🌌

my dad used to sing this to me when I was younger and visited in the summer, always the night before I left again for my moms.
Depressing shit.
But hey, I live with him now! So it’s all good.
I'm sorry about that. Family problems suck. My dad would also cheer me up like that before I had to go back, depressing for me too. I hope you have a good day :)
I envy that, my Dad doesn't even wanna know me anymore for some reason.
@@x67th I feel you. I'm sorry about your dad
Edit: I mean I know how you feel, that's what I meant to say
Ask him to sing it again
Just spend all the time you can with him and be grateful that you have him while you do, I regret distancing myself from mine... and when I tried to talk to him again it was already too late. He was gone.
Hey there, Delilah
What's it like in New York city?
I'm a thousand miles away
But, girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes, you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear, it's true
Hey there, Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there, Delilah
I know times are gettin' hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there, Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'd just laugh along because we'd know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah, I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there, Delilah
You be good, and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be makin' history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there, Delilah, here's to you
This one's for you
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me, oh oh, woah, woah
Oh woah, oh
Oh

My girlfriend recently broke up with me. We had a long distance relationship. This was our favorite song and our dream was to live in NYC. We would go swimming, watch movies together with one word live the best life. She was amazing and i hate now that she is gone. I send her a voice audio telling her that I miss her a lot and I hope she comes back. We broke up bc her parents found out and they forced her to not talk to me. I love her and I will never stop loving her. My heart hurts a lot and I hope I get to see her one day 🤧
|~|~Update|~| : i found out that she lied to me. Her patents didn’t find out, she just wanted to break up with me. It does hurt that she lied, id rather have her tell me the truth even tho its gonna hurt. But i saw some videos of her laughing and happy in general. I promised her that I would do anything to make her happy even if i had to let go. I guess its what she wanted
|~|~Update 2022|~| : i fully moved on from her and now im with someone that actually loves me gives me love that no one else has ever given to me. Crazy to think that i thought id never find the one but im sure i did this time. I want to thank everyone in the comments, i read every single one of them :). Thank you guys for being there for me when no one was
I hope she comes back to you, maybe someday. All I can tell you is that true love never dies. ❤
I hope you get back together with her❤
i know she will be back
damn man, if it was meant to be then it will work out. I've been with mine for 4 years and we broke like 3 times. Give her time.
Nishtha Shukla i hope so too :(
This comment section is wholesome everyone is sad and lonely together in this lil community
agreed
agree ):
The whole comment section was about long-distance relationship.
as someone in a long distance relationship, i feel that this song is something i can go to give me hope that our relationship is more powerful than the miles between us.
As somebody who tried and failed to maintain a long distance relationship, I wish you both the best. There will be times when the distance feels stronger than you, and that's okay because it will make you both stronger.
Daniel Rhodes he actually broke up with me last wednesday. he lied and cheated, and i have been having a very rough time with it. i wanted it more than he did. but thank you very much, and i wish you the best in finding the true person for you.

She's in Australia. I'm in Michigan. We met on my Discord server, but she's supposed to come here in June....I guess I'll leave an update.
UPDATE 2/24/2021: Holy fuck. Well, since COVID happened, June didn't end up happening. We're still together (and madly fucking in love) a year later, and we are still making plans to meet! She already sent me a box of various items from her room a couple months back and I cherish it.
Also I'm a chick lol
EDIT: Okay holy shit I keep reading these replies and I wanna cryyyy I feel so bad that everyone thought she left (or died? Lol not if I can help it)
We are still together and we're very happy together. I'm so sorry again for not coming back to update! 2.2k of you???? Wow.
FINAL EDIT: I posted this comment in the replies but just in case it gets buried:
I'm floored by your comments and interest in how we're doing! Long distance we've learned, is really hard, painful and stressful, but she's the only person I have ever met with such a beautiful kindness and spirit. She's shown me love over the past year that I can't say I ever expected, especially given the distance.
Supporting me throughout my transition, constantly doing wonderful things for me, even from how far away she is.
COVID fucked our world up for real. She still hasn't even started on getting her Visa, but we're not worried and we're not going anywhere.
You all are really cool folks, you should join my Discord server: NZQh8Jpuqa (I'd love to meet y'guys)
Also Whaylon hmu we can collab
What the absolute fuck, I've never met another American in a long distance relationship with a girl in Australia, really it's the peak of "long distance" and I get a lot of shit for it but wow another person. She's in Australia, I'm in Vermont.
Oh my god are you literally the same person as me what the fuck even is this, I'm also a music producer, I'm shook
Omg please update us when it happens
waiting for updates 👀 hope soon you both get together
You better not forget to update us
This sends pure chills down my spine and brings tears to my eyes.
(YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS NEXT PART.)
I was a really lonely kid. My parents were spilt and I never got to talk to my dad and my nanny (grandma). They were heavily influential in a bad way, and I had alot of trauma because of my father.
My mom was abusive. Her boyfriend always made me feel terrible. My brother was abusive.
We lived with her boyfriends grandparents. They were very old people and really cared about their house being a certain way. His grandma would always want to look through our closets and our room for some reason, and we had no privacy. Yet I always felt safe in that house.
Their outside dogs, (Sassy, Bo, Hershey, and the neighbors dog, aka her sons dog, Sweets.) would always keep my company. I cannot even begin to explain how many days I spent outside with those dogs. The hours just passed like seconds. They were some of the best days of my life.
One day our dog ran away with Hershey and they knocked up. She had a litter of six puppies.
We had to keep them in a kiddie pool cause we could have them running around. We also kept them in a bin when they got big enough.
It hurt me so much after awhile because in the middle of the summer, we had to keep them outside in a dog cage with bricks pressed up againts the entrance so they couldnt run around on the porch. It was so hot in there and they were suffering in the heat and I couldnt do anything.
The first day I saw a certain puppy I knew he was mine forever.
I named him Herc. (After Hercules Mulligan. Hamilton thing.)
I loved that dog with all my heart. Everywhere I went he was right there with me.
But the other dogs were killers. One day his grandma forced us to put the puppys in a cage outside so they wouldnt be on the porch. I knew they weren't safe immidiately. I hated every second of it and I held Herc so close to me to the point I was crying and screaming that I wasnt putting him in that cage. Either way they made me.
A few weeks passed and one day my mom came outside and her face just dropped.
She said "Is that what I think it is.."
..One of the puppys was killing Herc. I instantly dropped to the ground and everything felt like everything stopped. My heart just broke. I was screaming that it was his grandmas fault and everytime I said something my mom hit me, but I wouldn't stop.
I couldn't bear to see his body. But for some reason I walked over there to see his stomach wide open and his poor lifeless body on the ground. It hurt so bad.
My mom and brother put his body in a suitcase and burried him.
I was hugging Sassy and crying my eyes out. It felt like she understood. Like she knew how I felt. Her head was lowered onto my back like she was hugging me back. My mom and brother were laughing the entire time they burried him and making jokes about it. I couldn't stand it. I cried so much that day.
A few months later we left that house.
When we left, our neighbor (His grandmas son) took sweets inside and never let her out again. Either she passed and they didn't tell anyone, (they never talked with us or anyone else really) or she just stayed inside.
A few months after that, Bo went missing. I'm guessing he was killed because he never came home to me.
I know how weird this sounds, but those dogs were family to me. Actual family. It felt like they were my parents, and they taught me alot.
Hershey taught me trust. It didn't take alot to gain his trust, but he hated everyone else. He didn't like people very much, and never came around me or anyone else but my moms boyfriends grandpa. His owner. That dog was a brother to me. He protected me.
Sassy was my mother, in a weird way. At the same time she was also my companion. I can't put this into words well. She just always was there like a mother. We had an insane spiritual bond.
Sweets was just Sweets. She was an amazing and loving dog.
Bo was my father. Again this is also hard to explain so I'll skip that. But again, spiritual bond.
When I played with those dogs, when I roamed around on his Pop's land, I didn't feel human. It's like time completely stopped. I didn't feel pain, fear or sorrow. I felt at peace. I felt no emotions. I just felt free.
The best memory I have of Herc was a night we drove to the store. I was holding Herc while my brother was holding Ace, one of the puppys he liked.
Herc was alsep. It felt so peaceful.
Ace got taken to a good family by one of his grandmas other sons.
Once Herc died, I made a promise I would protect the second runt of the bunch. Her name is BB. I swore I wouldnt let the same thing happen to her that happend to him.
You might be wondering why I'm saying all this, but Herc always had a liking to a small bear that my moms boyfriend had on his shelf. When you clicked the button on its foot, a little LED would flash and it would spin a rose around singing this song. This song means the world to me and it brings back so many memories that I hope I never forget. I'm putting this comment here so that not only will I have it forever, but so other people can hear their story. I never want them to be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Bo, Herc, Possibly Sweets, Little Hershey (Puppy), Ganon (Puppy, killer), Boss (Sweet dog that Ganon killed). I'll miss you all, and I hope one day we all get to meet again.
this was amazing to read. dogs have a connection to us like no one could. i am truly so sorry about Herc ( I love the Hamilton reference btw ) and about your abusive family. I hope you and BB stay safe and you are able to find some peace and happiness.
@@annasmelle Thank you so much. 🖤 Currently trying to get out of the situation. BB is a lil derpy but shes amazing lol. Your words mean alot to me.
Reclusion I’m glad and I hope you do get out, and who doesn’t love a derpy dog 🖤
god bless i wish u every good thing ever
@Will Some people are just horrible like that but we have to go on for the ones that actually care for us. We gotta think of all the memories were going to look back on one day and smile at.
2:37 hit me hard 😔
same🥺
*screams while aggressively crying* DELILAH I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT BY THE TIME THAT WE GET THROUGH THE WORLD WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAAAAAME AND YOURE TO BLAAME
J W me 🤕🤚🏻
I changed your likes from 69 to 70
that part gave me CHILLS.
Something just hit me.
I used to listen to “Hey There Delilah” nightcore version before and ofc the original but as time went on, I now almost always listen to slowed and reverb versions of my once happy songs. Kinda hit hard for me but I like slowed and reverb more, the lyrics are more emphasized and amazing 🥺💗
2:16 this part slowed down🥺💙
My real name is Delilah, and I was born and lived most of my life in New York. This song kinda fits me
When my ex boyfriend broke up with me, I could hardly get out of bed. I couldn’t think about him without crying. My guy best friend knew how sad I was so he convinced his mom to come pick me up. We went on a long drive to a mountain about an hour from our house, singing this song at the top of our lungs. I’m so grateful to have a friend like him. He’s the best thing to ever happen to me.
Just felt like sharing. Hope this wholesome story made someone smile. 💗
Aww thats so cute 💗💗
I dont want to ruin a friendship but marry him

I‘m crying in the club rn
Lmao why
r/woooooosh
*plays no crying in the club or whatever its called*
ure in a club?
Crying in the club looks like a dream now
This is just what I was looking for. Thank you!
My uncle recently passed and he used to like this song. this has helped me release the emotions that are held deep inside behind all the "I'm ok"s as the "oh its fine"s. You put on a brave face when someone talks about it with you but when your alone, the mask just fades away and you're left with a person who has a dam inside of them. They feel the amount of pressure on the dam. When you're finally alone, the dam falls into a million pieces. The tidal wave of emotions floods your face with tears. You cry, and cry, and cry. When the flood is passing through, it takes happiness, goodness, and bubbliness with it. You're left empty, with absolutely nothing. You continue crying until there is nothing left. You sit there with absolutely nothing. You hide sad and afraid. But then, you remember a good memory. Then you keep remembering all the happy things that you've done together. And you remember, this isn't how they would want you to be, sad. They would want you to remember the good things you've done with them. They would want you to be happy. With or without them. You would sit there reminiscing all the good things that happened. All the happy memories. And you remember, they are in a better place now. They don't have to suffer. You miss them but they would want you to move on. They know what's best for you.
This one popped up in my recommendations. It hurts. Been over 2 months and I still think about her every day. The distance got to be too much, the words she said that made me cry the most were, “maybe in a different universe we make it”. I wish I was in that universe.
Andrew C tbh im not not into guys at all but i dated this guy back in november and tbh it still fucks with my head sometimes but ive met this girl her parents r homophobic and she lives in georgia i live in ny she told me to listen to this and said if me and her end up shes wants it tp be our song she makes me happy so thats good but it will get better i promise she probably wasnt that good for you their r always better girls out there or guys out there just keep ur head up and keep smili stay strong you got this 💛
Girls right?
My mom used to sing this song when she was pregnant with me.....now she abused me and i have no mom for mothers day.....yep i'm fine. Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REPLIES💕💕💖
i hope you’re okay :( things will get better. stay strong
I hope you are ok please stay safe and be strong
i was dating a girl who lived in new york and this was our song..
we broke up.
sunnie subliminals stay strong:/
F
Damn Delilah
lol
Shit ok
Suicide doesn’t stop the pain,” “It gives it to someone else.”
my older brother always played this for me on his guitar every night, ever since i was little. now that i'm in highschool (and he gave me his guitar) i play it on my own, and i get so happy whenever it comes on :")
Childhood memories. 2008, 2009… beautiful times.
This song encapsulates the teen years so damn deeply.
It's evergreen!
this 100% describes my feelings rn :/
Can you start a Spotify please 😂 need this on my playlist
Roxanne Holmes i can definitely try!!
@@slowedjams upload this one please
Commenting so I don’t forget to check later lol
PLEASE
@@AL-vq1mz well we'll probably never get this
Imagine this.
You’re in a car with your closest friends. Its 2009. You’re driving to the party, when this song plays. You sing it through. When it gets to the good part, you all sing powerfully. You slowly feel a tear running down your eye. You’re having the time of your life. :’)
Imagine😭😭😭
Why 2009
Stop
Stop it
I don’t wanna cry right now man
great now i can’t listen to this song without thinking about delilah from “you”.
Alef finally someone said it
oh my goddddd when i saw she died my heart fuckijgn DROPPED
ok this hits different 😔
Krisha Gandhi yee🥺🤚🏻
i dont mean to be that person..
but im pretty sure thats tokyo, not new york.
no clue :/ probably xd
For some reason it gives me Evangelion vibes
it's def not New York lmao
no one really cares, its the song i came for
🍌🐟 ???
I will never forget this song it's honestly my most favorite song and nothing could ever change that
why does this make it seem like the original version is him when he’s like kinda young in his teens having his first love and the slower version is of him a little older on to someone else who he finally thought would be the one and he’s in that “this is my final love” phase realizing that it’s not true
just me? okay 😂
I'm high asf and this makes total sense lol..I feel
No yeah i get it, like cavetown vibes
@@candacesmith6494 bro that's exactly what i thought XD i love cavetown his music is just very relatable (to me)
I love that I never thought of that before!
This is perfect
I know nobody cares but this song makes me cry so much. Like it was just a really big part of my childhood and I can remember listening to it on the ride home at 10pm from being out all day at soccer games and the mall and just enjoying life and I just remember when my siblings and I got along and when my family was good. And last year me and my friends basically made it “our song” and now we’re so distant and don’t get along that much and I just wish it could all be fine again. I want to redo everything. But I know I can’t and that’s what hurts
i love u for this
2:16 this is where imma need the boys to join in, damn this song seems eternal
This is our song...well it was.
"Forever and always", at least, until the first bozo with some pretty words came along.
Am i bout to cry? Stay tuned.
Edit: less than 2 minutes in and sobbing
Song hits different when its New Year's Eve, our one year anniversary, and the most amazing girl you've met is a grade under, your going off to college within the next year, and your parents are pressuring you to go away from home for college... I know long distance doesn't have to a bad thing and can be in some ways really good for a relationship but man... shits hard.
After listening to slowed songs all night, this is the one that hit different
This song will go down as one of the best breakup songs
there was a very small list of songs that hit me as a child.
- sweet escape
- hey ya
- glamorous
- hey there delilah
this was the one that stuck on me like glue, and to this day it's still one of my favorite songs. everyone has that song that is their childhood, and this is mine. i was only 4 or 5, but this was everything to me back then.
imagine being in a long distance relationship and you dedicate your relationship to this song and then in the future, you name your daughter delilah
this song makes me really really sad or a sort of melancholy happy happy, kind of like when you think of something sweet but you dont have it... theres no in between
listening to this song every night. how i wish i can hit the like button a thousand times 💖
childhood song.. n my fav time of being young:(
I’m trying to find the version used on TikTok that’s in like the key of A Flat
Theres a 11 second clip on youtube just put in post malone after the song name unfortunately its just 11 seconds
It's hella good, they should make a full version ❤️
Liam the Marching Band Guy yo i could probably just make it for you, if you wanna dm me on insta i’ll see what i can do?!
we probably aren’t talking about the same one because even as a band kid I can’t tell keys for shit, buuut there’s another snazzy version that @april.twentieth posted; it sounds spooky and it’s really cool ☺️
Fellow ling ling??
harmonizing with this in your rome in the dark is a whole nother vibe
This used to be my song when I was like 6😂 damn how time flies
The beginning is beautiful
So ik this song is about a long distance relationship and actually i'm in one now and its going...okay. But that's not the point. i want to share some of my youngest memories with someone that will read.
I remember being in my moms small red Toyota just driving. She would put on this song and she would be sweetly singing me the lyrics, me dancing in the backseat. I really love my mom. She made me so happy even when the world was falling apart around me, Now that I'm older, i realized what happened to me and my family back then I don't want to get into it bc it's kinda a sensitive topic but, she made me really happy when the world around me fell apart.
I haven't seem my mo in three weeks bc me and my sisters had to fly out so we don't catch COVID-19 (she works in the hospital) so things are kinda hard now. I hope everyone is safe.
this is so comforting
This was our song but I still have hope :)
Edit: today we met up and cuddled for a few hours
Edit: he sang this for me over FaceTime today
Edit: he’s not worth it
this song should have been my childhood omg
This songs reminds me of all the people that aren’t in my life anymore, whether it’s cause of them or me. I am so lonely :(
This song just hits for covid right now. The distance between relationships and friendships is a big stresser. Stay safe everyone.
*n o s t a l g i a* 🥺
This song just reminds me of a really early cold morning in a busy city but that day it isn't that busy with a sunset haveing a great time.🙃
Ikr
I’ve only recently found this song but I feel like it connects with me from way back
i still remember where i was and what i was doing when i first heard this song and it makes me feel so warm and happy to think about
I love how slow this one is, it gives you time to calm down and listen to the lyrics. Compared to this one the original just sounds rushed (don't get me wrong it's a cute song either way lol)
this is somehow more beautiful than the other and a lot more heartbreaking. amazing what reverb and a slower tempo can do with a song
My sister is named after this song. My parents heard it in an Applebee’s and decided it was gonna be her name.
the feeling that ran through my body listening to this i-
i wrote this for someone ignore it
hey there cornelia
whats it like back there in belguim
im ten thousand miles away
but tonight you look so pretty
times square can't shine as bright as you
i swear it's true
hey there cornelia
don't you worry about the distance
i'm right there if you get lonely
give this song another listen
close your eyes
listen to my voice thats my disguise
im by your side
oh, it's what you do to me!
oh it's what you do to me~
what you do to me...
hey there cornelia i know times are getting hard
just believe me girl some day i'll pay the bills with this guitar
we'll have it good
we'll have the life we planned we would
my word is good
hey there cornelia
i've got so much left to say
if every simple joke i said to you
would make you so happy
i'd tell them all
even more in love with you i'd fall
we'd have it all
oh it's what you do to me
oh it's what you do to me
oh it's what you do to me
oh it's what you do to me
ten thousand miles seems pretty far
but they've got plains and trains and cars
i'd swim to you if i had no other way!
our best friends make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because
we know that none of them have felt this way
cornelia i can promise you
that by the time that we get through
the world will never ever be the same
and we're to blame
hey there cornelia
you're the best
and don't you miss me
half a year and then high school
and we'll be making history
as we do
you know it's all because of you
this ones for you
we can do whatever we want to
hey there cornelia
heres to you
this ones for you
oh it's what you do to me
oh it's what you do to me
oh it's what you do to me
oh it's what you do to me
oh ohh, ohh ohh oh...
oh oh...
wo-oah...
were both in year six, high school starts in year seven here and we're gonna meet after year twelve, can ou blow this up so i can see it in seven years?
best of luck to you
this made me ugly cry
I am in a LDR and my boyfriend lives in NY and I live in Florida. He is the best person that has ever walked into my life. I love him so much. We have been together for a year and he always tells me, "I love you and nobody could ever change that. You are all I want and need. We might be hours apart but that won't change a thing." It is also really funny because in 2 years I will be done with HS and I dream about finally meeting him. So far he has sent me this really pretty necklace and I keep it as a reminder that even though we are miles apart, it isn't impossible. On top of all of this he is my first true love. The type of love where I am **sure** I want to be with this person for the rest of my life. So to anyone in a LDR: Don't let anyone tell you , "It won't work out." Because half of the relationships where people date and live down the road from eachother don't last for a month 😂 By week 2 they have, "Together forever." In their bio. I do advise though ALWAYS stay safe in a relationship if it is LD. Don't ignore the red flags.
I can only see vague nostalgic images I can’t explain but in my head they make perfect sense.
yoo this song hit different w a long distance relationship
it does,,
it rlly do
this song makes me cry...
*guitar part starts*
Me: this sounds pretty good
*guy starts singing*
Me: *dies in - Omg this is amazing*
This was my grandad's favourite song... I miss him so much 😭
Hey I know you posted this comment 3 months ago, but I hope you’re doing okay.💕 Stay strong love.
Oof I need this...
stupid bitch same
This song reminds me of him, he spams me telling me how much he loves me he sang this to me before, I’m glad god blessed me with him 💙
You don’t have to read this part it’s just a sad story
So last year I had this friend group with 2 people so 3 of us let’s calm them person 1 and person 2 we were best friends we were always laughing and crying we were always there for each other until one day they both became really toxic they were toxic before but I didn’t notice they would twist my words tell lies about me have other people threatening me but the worst part was I knew they never cared about me I still have them chances I loved them after a whole school year of toxic friends I finally let go of them and met the best person In my life she’s awesome and she actually cares but I am still crying about the people last year I know have social anxiety and am scared to talk to people
My advice lisen to your gut feeling if you don’t feel good about a person then drop them
Windi Galaxy lost my closest friends to toxicity , always putting me down and pushing me further away from them, when all I wanted to do was make memories and have fun, I’m lucky to have one real friend, I would rather have that one friend then all those fake ones that were not good for me, trust me it gets better bro❤️
Michael Campbell aww thx it’s just so hard to move on even after all the hard this they put you through I have amazing friends now but it’s hard to move
Same. Like at least i had 1 friend that’s not toxic. Sadly he died
this song get’s me in my feels
i love you wish u the best new sub
This song hits different blasting in the shower early in the morning 💕
when your name is delilah and you hear this all the time and it’s your all time favorite song 😳
Sup fellow Delilah
Dude on my birthday one of our friends FaceTimed from the sound booth of a Plain White Tees concert at work and this was sung to me backstage
I’m in New York City!! It’s beautiful here it’s for my birthday and I brung my friend and we sneak out at 3am and blast this song while skateboarding 🥺 it’s a vibe
This song has the ability to make me feel less alone in this world and it’s honestly amazing
listening to this for a year day 9 :) lets hope i dont forget
Omg...I remember when I was 8 and I was jamming out and...
When I was 13 last year I went through my first heart break and this song was with me...
*-Oh just what you do to me...-*
This brings back memories 💖
i’ve been taught that soulmates just aren’t a thing ;)
this is my favorite song and the fact that some amazing person slowed it down makes it so much better.
This makes me sad :(
Same idk why:(
this song is the best 👁
Amazing😍
I’m only 11 and I still love this song , I can relate to this .
I’m 11 too, and this is my favorite song.❤️
2:36 man that hits different 🥺
he doesn’t miss me or think of me the way i do.
aubry. vega then he doesn’t deserve you-it gets better 💕
This song hits hard because everyone I’ve asked out rejects me. Everyone I know things that I’m worthless and a loser because nobody ever will like me the way I want to. I only want to give them the world. It’s to the point now that I am scared to ask people simple questions, say hello to people, and feel that I need to put up a facade that I’m ok.
I want you to know that, you will one day meet the one and you are not worthless you are amazing. And you are NOT a loser. I’m only 11 but I hope this helped you a bit.❤️💕
someday you're gonna meet the right person who is never gonna make you doubt about your worth and she/he will be willing to give you the world aswell, have a good day/night
