Hey There Delilah

From Wikipedia:

Time magazine named “Hey There Delilah” one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at #7. Writer Josh Tyrangiel called it “an intimate love song that’s damn near universal”. Tyrangiel praised the Plain White T’s for managing to make another “aching guy reaching out to distant girl song feel fresh”, singling out singer Tom Higgenson’s otherwise imperfect voice and “nasal delivery [for making] the nearly-comic sincerity of the lyrics seem completely genuine.”[7]

The song is a 2008 Grammy Award nominee for Song of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

I think “Hey There Delilah” is one of the most beautiful, pure songs about young love I have ever heard, 2007 or otherwise. Each time I hear it I can’t believe how it affects me, and you all know I am encrusting very rapidly here.

Not a bad song at all, but reminds me a lot of Green Day.
