Hey there Delilah~就是白樂團



我也想對你唱這首歌~~~T-T

在2007年12月時的某一天上班開車途中
電台主持人討論了一個話題"你希望對方能唱哪一首歌給你"
而女主持人就說要聽到"Hey there Delilah"
女主持人說她聽到這首歌會感動不已

這首歌在我上班途中也播了好幾次
這是"Plain White T's"(就是白樂團)第四張專輯的其中一首最紅歌曲,
並且在2007年底奪下Billboard排行榜冠軍
這首歌內容是在描述男主角對在遠方念書的女方無盡的思念
並且有很多很多話想跟女方訴說.

Plain White T's並不是一線團體
算是地下樂團
並且在獨立唱片公司出過四張專輯
2000年 Come On Over
2002年 Stop
2005年 All That We Needed
2006年 Every Second Counts
最後在2007年的7月出了"Hey there Delilah"的EP
這對地下樂團來說是非常難能可貴
這團體是來自chicago
而主唱Tom是在高中時期因為喜歡打鼓
而開始他的音樂生涯

下面是這首歌的中文翻譯
