    I went to HighSchool with Delilah and ran track with her. She had beat so many track and field and cross country records in our state. She got a full scholarship to Columbia University in New York. I am a year younger than her so in September of 2001 when New York City was under attack, our biggest fear was Delilah's well-being and she did call and keep in touch with what was going on. She did train for the Olympics, but never made it past the trials. She is still a runner with a lot of achievements. This to say she's pretty famous in her own sphere. There is some inside baseball stories about Tom and Delilah, but I prefer to let the lore live on. It is such a beautiful song

      If everything told on the internet is a lie, i wonder what we should believe. An average person that personally knew delilah definitely not gonna make a video of delilah's story and post it online. Delilah's clos3 friends surely aren't gonna reveal her private life.

    I actually knew Delilah from high school-we ended up in the same creative writing class together, of all things. She was this powerhouse on the track team, always setting records and taking home trophies, especially in cross country. She ended up getting a full scholarship to Columbia, which was huge. I remember when 9/11 happened in her first semester; all of us back home were so anxious, but she kept in touch and let us know she was safe. She eventually trained for the Olympics, though she didn’t make it past the trials. She’s still a well-known name in the running world, though. There are even some funny stories about her and Tom that we used to share, but honestly, it’s nice to let those stay part of the mystery. Makes that song feel a little more magical, you know?

  • @brucetidwell7715
    @brucetidwell7715 11 месяцев назад +8

    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'm so grateful for your video. I came across you after watching the short where Tom showed up to sing for Delilah Loya.
    Hearing the rest of the real story only endears me more and not only encourages me to look for his earlier albums, but also subscribe to you.
    To answer the question you asked the female at the end... I found it to be incredibly romantic and also simply poetic. I do understand how her boyfriend and his girlfriend may have felt. Still... he kept a promise.
    Much peace to you. ❤ 🙏

    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.

    I really feel sorry for the guy. Never put a woman on a pedestal, she can then only look down on you. This girl has done nothing more for the guy than to be pretty, slim and exist. He wrote the song of his lif for her. Made her famous and she friend zoned him. That's why nice guys always finished last with beautiful girls. Guys don't make this mistake!

    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.
