Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's

We're having our first chilly, misty, gray mornings here in the Northwest, and I find myself reviewing the summer just gone by...In the fine self-indulgent tradition of bloggers everywhere, I'll be posting my meaningless musings on whatever-the-hell-I-feel-like Right Here to be enjoyed by, like, no one, but that's okay. My choice for Love Song of the Summer is this one: Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's. The backstory behind this song is that there really is a Delilah, a beautiful girl who's training for the Olympics in some equestrian event. Apparently, she and lead singer Tom are still just friends. But really, I think his approach was sound: Guys, take note--write a song to a girl, release it as a single, and have it become your breakout hit. Chicks love that shit. Just saying. So if you haven't, or even if you have, check out the song...so sweet.
