....the theme for this month's GPP Crusade.
My confession of an obsession is with the song Hey There Deliah by Plain White T's
After the last GPP crusade (Make Some Noise) I just couldn't get this song out of my head - thanks Gillian. I started to become obsessed and listened to the song repeatedly on YouTube.
I looked up the band on iTunes but that wasn't satisfying as you only get short snippets of their songs.
I listened to them more on YouTube. I emailed Gillian about them. I asked my friend's husband who is involved in the music industry about them. I listened to them more on YouTube. I then looked up other songs of theirs and had a listen on YouTube. I then went to a few Music Stores and enquired about them, if any of their CDs were or will be released over here. After a few stores I found someone helpful who said that their first CD was to be released out on the fifteenth.....YIPEE!!.... and after a small deposit I secured myself a copy!
Yes, I now own Every Second Counts and have played it LOUD in the car and at home, even now as I type this entry! My four year old sings along to Hey There Delilah, and my six year old likes Out Time Now.
Here's the video that got me obsessed...Enjoy...
ursula - love this story! too funny that the cd wasn't even out yet when that single was such a big hit. thanks for sharing your crush with the team. (you know i love that it's music!)

That's a neat song, I think I have heard it a couple of times, it sounds familiar. It's awesome you didn't have to wait that long to find it... lucky you!

Doesn't a song stuck in your head drive you crazy? Well, if it has to happen, this is a good one to hear all the time. Hey, Ursala, you've been tagged for the middle name game. Check out my latest blog post where you are tagged. http://sallyt.typepad.com

And now because of your mate Megan I have a crush on Paolo Nutini... can't sleep anymore because his songs are racing through my head... I am in luuurrrrrvvvveee. I am sure lots of gorgeous 20 year old men (I am not going to say boys) would fancy a 39ish year old spunky chick like me (take that smirk off your face, missy)... a crush... how did that happen!
