LOL let me know why I was tearing up writing this? Delilah was a big part of me beginning my music journey and I feel like she has grown up and so have I as well. I thought It would only be right, two years later, to finish Delilah's story. I hope you enjoy!
Listen to the first "Hey It's Delilah" here: • "Hey it's Delilah" (Gi...
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! wouldn't be making music if it weren't for all of you and I mean it!!!

Lyrics (At least my best attempt not a lyrics maker ever so if you see a mistake comment a fix)
Hey, it's Delilah
Saw your show in the big city
It was great just catching up
And your girlfriend she’s so pretty
Yes, she is
I’m glad you finally done it
You made it big
Hey, it's Delilah
Don't you worry about my feelings
I’ve met somebody new
And he taught me about healing
I’m okay
I’m don’t blame you for all the pain
I love you the same
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, I’ve finally found peace
Finally found peace
Hey, it's Delilah
I’ve been working pretty hard
Someone’s got to pay the bills
I even learned the old guitar
You gave to me
He tells me that I play so sweet
I feel complete
Hey, it's Delilah
Sorry if I am a bother but
I just had to call to say
I ran into your mother in the store
She said your daughter just turned four
And you adore her
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, I’ve finally found peace
A thousand miles kept us apart
But finally, I've healed my heart
I'd let somebody in to fix my cracks
My friends they all are proud of me
And suddenly I got to see
All the baggage that I’ve unpacked
Listen, I can promise you
I’m still the girl that you’ve once knew
But finally, I’ve learned to love myself
Thanks for the help
Hey, it's Delilah
And next week I’m getting married
I just want to thank you for the weight you had carried
Just for me
Your no longer what I need
I just wanted to succeed
We had our shot and now we’re free
Now we are free
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, I’ve finally found peace
Finally found peace
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh whoa, oh
Oh, oh
almost all correct!! its “you made it big” instead of think and “i’ve healed my heart” instead of feel!!
@@jessricca I was so close but I've fixed it now I remember seeing the first song what feels like a eternity ago now and I saw this and I just smiled.
@@ZombieTK0 there is a really small typo in the third to last verse, it should be "you're no longer what I need" (thanks for writing down the lyrics for everybody)
Thank you!!!! Second part it should be “I don’t blame you” instead of “I’m don’t blame you” and the 7th part it should be “the girl you once knew” not “you’ve once knew”, and in the 8th part it should be “you’re no longer what I need” instead of “your no longer…”

the comparison to the lyrics from this version and the one two years ago is so insane. this version has so much acceptance and peace, whereas the last still had raw hurt. it’s like the process of breakup. you did an amazing job with these
At first you’re bitter and broken but after going through the stages of grief you become content with it all and just appreciate the fact that you experienced the person.
@@armandoarmijo9010 Pointing out a true feeling there
Ikr?
Gotta get people to react to this
The transition of the two ‘it’s Delilah’ songs makes my soul hurt only because I feel this whole heartedly, it’s bittersweet even when you know you’re happier and on the right path. Life is funny 🤷🏻♀️
We were in a long distance relationship. "Hey there Delilah" was our song. After our breakup, i found "Hey it's Delilah". It broke me, because how loudly it spoke to me. Hearing this song 2 years later is kind of perfect.. I have finally found peace
I know what you mean. It was also a song I liked while in a long distance relationship.
Just got out of a relationship that was long distance, i moved across the country to him for him to leave me a year later because he decided he didnt want a family out of the blue and couldnt be with me knowing i did. Fuckign broke me but this song really carryin me through..
@ZEPETO_Charlina-jp4kb Yes, I know.
I had a dream that Joe played me this song on his guitar 🎸

I audibly gasped when she said Delilah was getting married. I’m genuinely invested in Delilah’s journey of healing and self-discovery.
same😭
Samee
she just trying to give me half his stuff (:
The best part is when in the last chorus she changed from "what you did to me" to "what you do to me"
Sometimes, Love lasts forever.
definitely better than the real story of a guy in a band telling a girl who was already in a relationship that he already had a song in his head for her upon first meeting her.
I love how the lyrics transition from "it's what you DID to me" to "its what you DO to me." It's a perfect representation of how no matter how much we move on, some people will always mean the world to us. Very small but very impactful detail.
Wow that's exactly what I was thinking. It's true- once you truly love someone there's no going back. They'll still have that effect on you even if it's small.
I think that line was directed to her fiancé. He brought her the peace. She already stated in the beginning her fiancé taught her about healing.
Better words are yet to be spoken, 'well said' to you 2 years later
The sequel I didn’t know I wanted but definitely needed
The perfect comment. Well done, Erick.
"You're no longer what I need
I just wanted to succeed
We had our shot and now we’re free
Now we are free"
This song is amazing.
That part got me.
Comment is old but maybe you’ll rediscover this song with it anyway, she actually says “I just want you to succeed” sounds a lot like wanted but thats what I hear and I think it makes it even better :)
Its,I just want YOU to succeed..🙂
I love the sparkle in her eyes. She looks so happy and fulfilled!
Funny, but I see more a settled peace in her eyes
It looks like she's just smiling through the pain and holding back tears
I grew up with the original song and I can say that after listening to this song my life is complete.

Uiîl lmk l mom s to xo🤩👍 3:54
this turned such a big smile on my face. I remember watching your first "hey it's delilah" version when I was going through a harsh break up and I would listen to it on repeat. Now 2 years later I've also moved on from that relationship and found peace :) love this version. amazing character development.
Bro. I think you might be Delilah
My daughter is having relationship trouble so I played her both videos in order to help her feel better. It calmed her down. Such sweet lyrics and story in both.
I wish I had a mom like you
Thank you
this was the song that started it all for me i heard it randomly last year and now here i am i so proud of jess!
Same
Upload ur version as a tribute bro
same, youtube recommanding this, and you find gems like this.
been subbed ever since
The difference in the amount of pain and a slight hint of jealousy changing from the video two years ago to now it’s just it really brings Delilah story to life
This song is the reason I started following…here we are two years later!!! Watching you grow as an artist has been an absolute pleasure! Great job love you❤️❤️
Same
i think alot had that video recommanded.. that is how i stumbled on this channel.
Same here!
Yup. Her first "Hey It's Delilah" helped me through my own healing from a bad breakup, and sh*t... these lyrics are so satisfying, for both my heart and its journey.
This is def the case for a lot of us, it is for me
Lyrics like this show how a song doesn't have to be super vague and all-encompassing to touch people's hearts. Nowadays you rarely get a person's name in a song, let alone details like learning the guitar you borrowed from an ex, because everything has to be "relatable", but in reality those songs are just bland, whereas this one is so deeply moving. It's like the music industry has forgotten our capacity to empathise with stories that aren't quite the same as our own. Glad we can still find gems like this
Incredibely well said
"You're no longer what I need."
Hits different in this song. It feels like healing and accepting, not something bitter and painful.
Jessica you are a genius ❤️
I felt it in my gut!
Exactly. This tells me you cant heal by going back to the thing that broke you in the first place.
Speak for yourself
I know, why so much drama? There was hope and love in the original.
Don't usually comment, but I wanted to share my story, if anyone cared .
Almost 7 years aro, I met this guy in highschool. We were in the same music band, and he helped me so much. I was very shy and insecure about my singing, and did not felt legitimate to sing . He was so sweet and, I owe him the confidence and passion for music I still have, even tho it has became painful to even play music.
We were close , or I thought we were . He made me feel special, appreciate and considerate. I still play our moment together in my head and they are still vivid even after all this time . But suddenly, he completely stopped talking to me. Without any reason that I'm aware of . From making my heart flutter and butterfly in my stomach, to a sharp pain everytime I saw him
When I graduated , all the music bands did a concert . When came the time for his band to perform ( we were no longer in the same band ) , it was unbearably painful and I chose to go home. Even tho I knew it would be the last time I will ever see him. And indeed it was . And it was tearing me from inside to walk away, knowing that I would never see him again, and that we never said goodbye.
I've heard from a mutual friend that he moved to the other side of the world to become a professional musician. I've also heard that he was doing amazing and starting to get recognized for his talent . I also know he has a girlfriend and I saw posts he did about her . Those posts are so sweet and he seems to be completely in love.
I will never talk to him again, and yet I will never forget him. I look for him in every new person I meet and I remember him in every song i hear. Probably in a couple of years, he will come back home as a successful musican to do a concert . And I'll be the first one clapping, because I am so proud of him. I wish nothing but the best for him. But I wish I was part of his best. I am unable to fall in love again since him.
Sorry for the rent. And thanks to whoever read this
😭😭😭
You deserve you be loved with someone, don't limit yourself from the new love that maybe waiting for you. You deserve to be loved not just loving someone
HELL YEAH
How are you?
This seems like the perfect closure to what seemed like a one-sided love story that would never end. I’ve reached this stage myself not too long ago. Thank you for putting my thoughts and feels into words.
Do you have the lyrics?
Damn. I thought the first one was sad but the lines
*Don't you worry about my feelings
I met somebody new
and he taught me about healing*
just wrecked me. Thank you for giving us the happy ending we didn't know we needed.
this was the song that brought me to your channel. hey its Delilah was so amazing and this version is absolutely beautiful. i love how it tells a story of two separate lives and i just love it so much! i hope it comes out on spotify! 🤞🏼much love to all! 💚💚💚
Same here
Your singing is genuinely calming to me, i've had a rough year and this is my peace. Thank you. Its what you did for me.
I hope my ex fiancee hears this, Hey There Delilah was our song. I hope she found happiness in the end, despite me. Anyone still aching for their former partner, aren't you glad you got to love them even if it didn't last? Our time on earth is short, be happy for the love you had, look forward to the love you will find, and don't judge others by your pain. May God bless you each and every one
i like the sentiment, but your username.. :D
@@captainjoy8976 "I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant, it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."
I wish my ex could have some kindness if I ever pop in his mind , but he seems to have erased me. He told me to get over someone you have to believe they were a horrible person, so thats probably what I am.
@@personplant9046 the way I see it, everyone always puts the blame/responsibility on someone else because they aren't able to accept their own faults. We control our own lives, and rarely are things ever black and white but we always try to see them that way. Dont go letting someone else's issues bring you down to their level, that is a dark and lonely road. Shine like the sun, be the light in this dark world lest the darkness consume you too. My advice is to find who you are, work on yourself, love yourself, and never lose hope. Best of luck to you
@@born2bemurderous thank you very much for your kind response. I really appreciate it. Your comment gives some more perspective to think on. Once again thank you and take care
Wow okay I got CHILLS at these lyrics. So insightful and heartfelt and wise. And so sweet! It seems to be the story of Delilah finding closure and growing and moving on. Love this!! Thank you for making such beautiful music, I can’t wait to follow where you go from here! 💖
"We had our shot now we are free".. Damn that part hits me hard everytime. Absolutely beautiful
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Those lyrics are everything.
I’m so glad Delilah is doing a lot better after 2 years. ❤️
i'm actually crying listening to this, this is so beautiful.
Edit : 3 months later still crying to this
Still crying ?
@@Trafficfromsky yessir
Me too
edit: 4 months since last edit, no one cares still
@@FuxkChewy still?
Don't know if I've ever started crying so quickly into a song before.
Both versions made me tear up, sounds like your pulling from your own emotional experience, if not, even more impressive. Thanks for sharing!
I first heard “hey it’s Delilah” only a few months after I broke up with my boyfriend of nine years. I’ve been having an extremely hard time lately with loneliness. So oddly enough for like the last two weeks I rediscovered Delilah and have been listening to it daily. This version just made me bawl my eyes out. Gave me hope that I will be okay. Thank you. 🖤
This is absolutely stunning, I’m smiling ear to ear due to this masterpiece. Thank you. Your writing is truly astounding
The slight cracks in your tone, the smile that stays on your face, this song just feels so real. It's truly amazing to listen to this as it feels so grasping. It adds to a cliffhanger story of a song, and it has all the emotions of someone making peace with a Past lover after they broke their heart. I absolutely love this!
this is going to make my day for sure. ive been having a tough couple months 🙂
Stay strong. You are not alone. We’re here for you
@@Hitsujikai thankyou 😢
No mater how rough life can get, never give up!
There are always people around to help, even if you might not even know them💕
Stay strong🙏
how are you doing now ?
@@6TheDa6rkOne6 thankyouu nice person! 🙏🏻
The turned four line brought a tear to my eye. My daughter is three, and this version hit me tight in the feels.
My mind and voice recalls the original rendition of this and just hums or sings some of the verses. I'm so happy to see a sequel, what happened to Delilah in the time period. I'm glad she's happy and married.
I cried listening to this. Nice work.
ive cried listening to both versions and I would love if this was added to your Spotify too
One of my favorite songs,its how life went for me
Wow just wow! Thank you! This version is so much better! It’s so encouraging!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🩷♥️🫶🏻🤟🏻🥰
SHE DOES IT AGAIN FOLKS!! I hope this goes more viral than the Omicron variant
I love that you took a simple song we all loved as teenagers and made it into a beautiful 3 part story. I'm actually tearing up over this song because of how beautiful it is and what you did with Delilah's story.
IS THERE A PART THREE? WHEEERREE?
@@GaryKimballlol the original
Your aura and voice have a slight resemblance to Dolly Parton... Absolutely magical.
Totally thought the same!
I hear it. Such heartfelt sound and real voice resonance
I always loved Hey there Delilah, so to hear this, that was like if they didn't work but they lived their own lives and were happy... It's so heartbreaking.
My best friend from high school and I listened to the original song constantly. I was crazy in love with her, and she was oblivious. She didn't have the best home life, and all of our friends just knew we would end up together and turn her life around. To buy into that stuff but we were in HS and believed it all. She dated around, and I stayed there as the friend for as long as I could. She had a bad break up that sent her down a bad path. Drinking, drugs, etc. Never graduated high school, and we grew apart. I grew up quickly after high school and started dating some wonderful women. They didn't last, and in between each serious relationship, my old friend and I would grow a little bit closer and closer. She had a kid or two at this point, and I wasn't ready to be a father figure. Regardless, we could never get it figured out or make it work. It wasn't meant to be, I guess. I met my wife and we've been together for 13 years. Meanwhile, my friend has been married twice and has two kids from two different guys. Last we really talked she was still making bad decisions, and after nearly a decade of watching her make those decisions, I just couldn't do it anymore. I haven't talked to her since and I always felt like I let her down and deserted her. I find myself occasionally checking her FB and IG and it seems like she's finally found what she needed. She's doing well, bought her own house and dating, what seems to be, a great guy. There are so many lines in this song that hit hard and make me think of her. I'm so happy for Delilah and H if you're reading this I'm happy for you too.
I was listening to the first version back in 2020, when me and the first man I've ever loved had to separate, in spite of the love we shared. Getting over him was a really long and painful process, it took me a lot of time to be able to accept it, but I did it. I proved it to myself a few weeks ago and this 2.0 version arrived just on time. You have no idea how much this means to me, it's just perfect, thank you!
this version made me cry. so beautiful Delilahs evolution and discovering her inner peace after heartbreak.
Like a lot of rest of the comments, this song was the one song that started my following. Great then, great now. Nice nostalgia feeling here to keep me remembering good times when I need it even if its just a song and a singer. With that said, you were and continue to be a superb-beautiful singer, keep it all up! It's nice to see you hopefully happy whilst singing, feelin the feels
I love both this and the first version you made, but this one gets me teary every time I hear it. The lyrics is so beautiful
❤
A wonderful catch-up story, to the song that introduced me to you
I love it!!!
♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉
I’m completely invested in this series
Still so enchanting and lovely. This song (along with several of your other songs) ended up on my top songs of 2021 playlist on Spotify, because I listen to it so often. You look stunning, BTW, Jess.
no matter when I listen to this, I always cry
Can't believe it's been two years I'm more than tearing up right along with you ♡♡♡
Couldn't help but cry the moment you started singing. So amazing
Wow this was really cool! We got to see the closure of the heartbreak, not something we get to see all that often. Plus it's cool to see your growth as an artist! Keep it up!!
The eyes contribute to so much of the emotion.
This was so beautiful! Didn't think you could top your first Delilah cover/remix. But Damn if I couldn't be more wrong. Someone contact 'Plain White Ts' and make sure they see this version. I believe they saw the first. But now it's grown up, and I think they'd love it.
They should definitely bring you on tour, if they still tour. They sing 'Hey there Delilah' then you come out and sing 'Hey its Delilah.' It would be epic and I would die to see that show.
Why am i crying listening to this🥺
Wow, this one is a great follow-up to your original! It doesn't compromise the first one at all but instead completes it! It kind of gives me Dolly Parton vibes in how it's so raw and real. Loving it, loving it. God bless you, and keep up the great work!
Grief, acceptance and finally finding the Peace. So brave.😇
Your voice has aged like fine wine!!Lots of love from India, Gorgeous Jessica
This song and its predecessor definitely remind me of "Taxi" and "Sequel" by Harry Chapin. Beautiful work, beautiful singing!
I came across this song a month or so ago and I fell in love. You’re as gorgeous as your beautiful voice and I can’t wait! Don’t let anyone hold you back from realizing your potential & talent❤️
Good gosh. How did i miss this for this long.
i love this version🥺❤️
Tell me why I'm in tears rn. This is the most beautiful I've heard in years
Her facial expressions match the tone of the lyrics in each version. It’s breezy in my bedroom, I’m not crying you’re crying
the lyrics🥲🤧, i can feel the pain and sadness, though we have to move on with our lives.
I love this version so so much. Will it ever be on Spotify?
This is such a great example of how a breakup is like😩!!!!!!
This is amazing good job😄
I never saw part one and youtube algorithm brought me here tonight. I have to tell you I bawled my eyes out! Wow. The story, the comparison, the message, the delivery. Delilah, I am very proud of you too. And Jessica, you've got a gift. This is gorgeous!
This made me cry. My ex.. sang deliha to me. We had an age gap relationship and I never felt comfortable but I never loved someone so whole heartedly. I loved him so so so much... and let him down..along with myself.. I let myself down and lost him. Your voice is beautiful. You are beautiful and thank you for sharing your gift.
Kind of want to share my brothers story, because I guess it’s kinda fitting. My brother was in the 7th grade when he met this girl, they fell in love pretty quickly. It was his first girlfriend, and they were on and off until he graduated high school. They were really toxic, broke up then got back together. She messed with him a lot, and he started self medicating with drug abuse and alcohol abuse. Their mutual best friend died in a car crash (she was a year younger than them and a junior.) Then, we moved from the forgotten state and small town, to a tropical area in Florida. He started making 1 grand every 2 weeks straight out of high school as an intern for digital dentistry. He fell in love with a co-worker, and now they’re having a baby girl named Delilah. His ex is getting married now too, and he’s moving back to our small town to raise his kid, show his girl where he’s from, and find peace within his heart. They’ve both come so far. She’s taking therapy consistently for her childhood trauma, taking anti-depressants. My brother had a long and brutal recovery, but his fiancé saved him, and he rarely drinks. He’s going back to school to support his kid. Sometimes, you might not end up together, but you grow from each other.
And, to add on, their distance really was 1000 miles apart and it’s been 2 years.
This cover reminds me so much of the book “it ends with us” omg currently bawling 🥺
I don’t think you realize how much healing these two versions have actually been for me. You’re so talented. I love these genuine moments of expression we get to see that isn’t tainted by the big industry. Keep it up kid ❤
I just found out that these responses to the original exist. This is my favorite overall, by far.
Thank you.
Going through a breakup, the past two weeks have been really tough. Hearing this song gives me hope and makes me feel much lighter. I don't hate my ex anymore. Thank you, Jessica. You are an angel ♥
i hope the pain eases soon, take care, i love you!!🤍🤍
Me finds a new talent girl singing and it's satisfying to listen to you sing
Sometimes I just enjoy listening to ppl sing while I'm trying to distract me of my thoughts
Beautiful! You've captured the multi-year journey many of us have been through! Thank you for finishing her story.
I love this song so much. I love that loving yourself and being at peace was highlighted so beautifully!
You look so excited and happy to sing it, and yet it looks like you can still immerse in the bittersweet lyrics, goosebumps, love it, don't ever stop making addictive music for us please :D
I believe this is the best version .
I somehow feel this is even more personal than the first one. I've been following you for over two years and I feel like Delilah isn't the only one to have found peace. So have you. Wish you all the best! If you are really getting married I couldn't be happier for you
Why am I sitting here on Wednesday morning sobbing?! This song brought out all the feels!
This song is just amazing, i listen to it every single day and can't get tired of it
this is just..beautiful. the 'she told your daughter just turned four and you adore her' made me tear up and 'hey it's delilah and next week i'm getting married' just had me done. she sounds so happy and so glad that he now has this little being that he loves and adores and then saying 'listen to this, i have some happy news as well, i'm so exited!' this is just sounds so pecfect. They all moved ot, found their happiness, talk about life of the other one with such a joy.
Love these versions you do, can't wait for the next one in a couple of years again hehe
I was just looking back over a self improvement schedule from a year ago where I saw how well I'd done back then and felt something along the lines of "Oh see! You can do it!"
But as if it'd been said by someone I really want to be proud of me
Right when the feelings from this beautiful song hit and man do I feel good now
Thank you kind stranger, I just do not have words to describe how good that made me feel.
And big respect for the understanding and growth you show in these two little songs.
We're all on our way haha
I remember when I first started watching your covers. You had less than 10,000 subscribers. Within a few months you were over 100 thousand subscribers. I've loved all your covers and originals including this one. I look forward to seeing more covers and originals and watching you climb the charts.
❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️
This song made me a jerk a tear but it’s beautifully written
This delilah trilogy songs would be perfect script for a love thriller movie.You're brilliant Jessica.
What’s the third song “ triology “
You probably won't see this but this song is beautiful and so are you. Keep being amazing
I can’t even believe how much you’ve changed, this channel has grown, but your voice and this song still reminds me of where I was in my life when I heard it. Thank you and congratulations ❤️
Very wholesome spin on the whole thing!
That made me cry...
Hard to match the original, but you pulled it off babe...Beautiful
Thank You🤗
Damn you look so different from pt 1, happier. ❤❤❤ I’m so proud of the progress
You've done it. You made a song turn into a history from beginning to a (beautiful and peaceful) end. I'm not crying, you are
Out of nowhere I just start absolutely bawling my eyes out 😭😭😭😭 what have you done to me?! 🤣
Wow that was so beautiful!!!
Now we need a tv series called ‘Delilah’ directed by Jessica. I’m too invested now
Her first version made made me cry but now im okay with it too 😅 thanks
