Hey there Delilah - Cover by sumit

Hey there Delilah - Cover b... Lyrics & Chords

Hey there Delilah
What’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true

Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me.

Sumit,

You have a nice voice but it’s pretty shaky, unsure if it’s the voice or the recording.

keep singing more, and explore better recording setups. I am sure, both of these will make a huge difference!

You have a good voice Sumit. Sing more confidently and it will sound much better. You can also try reducing the reverb in your english numbers so that your voice sounds sharper.

Sumit you have a wonderful voice ….agree with some of the above comments ….the reverb took some sharpness of your voice ….nonethless enjoyed it ….would you attempt “O Donna” when time permits ….love that oldie.

Give you full stars.

Very good. This style seems to be your forte.
A little instrumental refrain in between a couple of verses might add to the beauty is what I can suggest.

u put a smile on my face :)… reminded me of garfunkel’s voice from simon and garfunkel. just keep goin with your singing bro. dont take all these comments into consideration. i dont think bob dylan had the most beautiful voice nor has mick jagger. if u have a message to deliver across, and u do, thats the most beautiful thing in the world. keep goin strong! later now.

Looking for a Miracle Man???

Agree with miracle. I think your voice is very fresh, personal. The most important part of this song is sincerity and your voice conveys that so well. I am sure your Delilah would get blown away with this song.

Well done Sumit. I am glad you covered this. This song is apt for your voice. Did you play the guitar too?

Anyway, here are some pointers to improve:

1. Expressions could have been way way better. This song is all about the lyrics and I felt proper emphasis was not given to words.

2. When you end certain lines, you need to extend the ending notes a little more.

3. Reverb was too much.
