The first time I heard this song I thought it was a Budweiser commercial. It is a Pete Rose song, in my opinion - love it or hate it.

Tom Higgenson and his band base the video and the original "heartfelt" story on what they called a true case: a man (singer and composer Higgenson) who is involved with a beautiful woman in a far away city from his new New York City home. However, the songwriter-bandleader-composer-performer, the lead singer of the Plain White T's "He'll be making history" and "[paying his bills with his guitar]" wrote a song is in fact about a man who lived in New York City who followed a woman around in a case of pathetic unrequited infatuation. Himself. There is no relationship. There is just a dream. Oh well. At least The Plain White T's had a Number One song, made the TODAY show and if they win the Grammy, Higgenson's object of lust, an American candidate for the Olympic 2008 Beijing Cross-country running team who "wants to put a face on track and field" - well, the dude is a prophet. He already has made history. Not sure about those bills, though.

If you listed to the lyrics and the delivery of same, you can hear how desperate a loser the singer is at least doing a great job of pretending to be. What is the speed trick - he wrote the song when he was in a deluded good mood. He plays in the relaxed, natural, comfortable space with an acoustic guitar - completely stripped down as the metronome with which he is recording (yet removed on the final track) is something upon which the guitar "This Bud's For You" vamp plays its ultra-stripped down "harmonies". This is this year Grammy entry that reminds one of last year's song also sung as a male unrequited plaintive whine by James Blunt's "You're Beautiful". The speed and the music are reversed! last year's song by Blunt was at the speed of loneliness - 82 beats per minute - and the harmony and melody had enough energy to make a song. A lonely song. This piece by the unrequited "stalker" Higgenson (his own story) gets over at the speed of orgasm, ultimate relaxation: natural, 104 beats per minute. See the graphs and then the BPM lists which you can easily pull from the dropdown screens above. hard to find a song *near* 104 bpm that doesn't reek of self-comfort that is laid back and humble - breezy confidence.



This song had 100's of VERY strong opinions online. I reprinted , with applicable names changed to protect the innocent, some of 1000s of wild ravings about this song of self pity disguised as deluded infatuation. As I noted, it is a Pete Rose song. We like to feature those on this page. To be frank, this Pete Rose song arose when my wife-then-fiance said she *actually liked* this song. I said to her - "but there's nothing there." But that is the beauty of music - "music" is just noise that satisfies some people's brain as ear candy - that's high music. Then there's that music that of which you do not even know the style - NOISE! Yet, while we can close our eyes, and over half of the neurons devoted to sensory input in human are eye or optically related, we react in the most raw form and emote in the most raw form with our *ears*. You know what I mean.

note: someone wrote it to inform me that the wikipedia post that I had cut & pasted a few months ago - I did it *especially* because the comment seemed so out of place - that Moody Blues' NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN has anything to do with any racist element anywhere in the world. That post has been edited - and not to say I told you so, but those who take wiki seriously or ever have are making a mistake - it is an almanac, not a fact sheet.

Here is some of the best of the web upon which I crossed in looking for what the actual tempo of HEY THERE DELILAH was. That I could not found, hence the above. It does not make what is below any less interesting - a variety of opinions from the web. Thanks everyone!

Eminem's Best: "Stan," speeds of the original Studio version with Dido and the live 2001 Grammy Awards Elton version, sampling the song "Thank You"


The speed graphs compare two versions of the Eminem song Stan. The song was recorded originally with Dido singing the musical verse first, Eminem then going into verse. When the song was recorded at the 2001 Grammy Awards with Elton John playing piano and Dido's musical and vocal part, Eminem went into the first verse before Elton sang his first musical verse, as Dido. Hence, the red Elton comparison line on the chart on the top does not begin until after a twelve bar piano improvisation in A minor.

An excellent article on the song Stan may be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_%28song%29.

Dixie Chicks, 'The Long Way Around,' Grammy nominee for Album of the Year--meanspeeds and meanemotions of each of 14 songs on the album



The Dixie Chicks are in the running for a Grammy for Album of the Year with their 2006 release ‘Taking The Long Way.’ Of note is the end song, “I Hope,” sung at a seed that is reflective of loneliness. Enter: a la Foreigner’s I Wanna Know What Love Is, song speed covered last year and archived and available by clicking to your right or searching above: The Never-seen-ya-before, Never-see-ya-again 50 and more Africa American choir for chorus #2. Also: My Favorite Year, sung at the meanspeed range of of bittersweetness (77-78) beats per minute, indeed is a tear-jerking song reminding me of Tears In Heaven and Anka’s Times Of Your Life. These—songs that look at the entire sweep of life and dare you not to become emotional. Also: The song Silent Houses takes John Lennon’s favorite speed—he was known to listen to A Whiter Shade Of Pale, a song in this speed range, on his headphones in an 8 hour loop—and many of his best known songs: same speed: Hey Jude, Let It Be, Imagine. Here, the Dixie Chicks use the identical graceful speed range with a strong a banjo in the midrange, and lay down a groove that has drive, power, acceleration—it rocks, which is not easy at this speed, or else, as they say: everyone would be doing it. The elemental speeds for all 14 songs on this album:

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL by James Blunt--plaintive wail of unrequited love-at-first-sight?



A Grammy nomination for Record of the Year is the song by James Blunt called You're Beautiful, a love song based on a familiar story.
In the song, even though the singer was "----ing high" and the woman about whom he languishes was "with another man/but [he] had a plan," he shares a moment with a woman. Oh boy—one of those glances that will last a lifetime, "until the end," though since he only passes her on the train, chances of meeting again: not very good!
Ok: so it is a plaintive wail, as if to say, Come back and fulfill that "moment" (whatever that means)—come on—if someone is so Love At First Sight that they burn in your memory until "the end"—that line really is in the song.

Anyway, the speeds of the look into my pain YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL are:
meanspeed=82.0 beats per minute
meanemotion=loneliness
meanspace=0.732 seconds per beat
meanphase=1.37 beats per second
meanpitch=349.87 hertz, 3 cents higher than F4=349.228 hertz, 97 cents lower than F..4/Gb4=369.994 hertz.
