Music Video

Hey There Delilah was directed by Jay Martin. It was first seen on MTV on May 11, 2007. The video was filmed in Chicago but had the feel of New York City. It has a unique layout messaging out a busy yet dramatic effect. There are three boxes that show different scenes but the video is consistent with the girl in the city and with Higgenson singing in a room playing his guitar.

Trivia

Reviews

The video is very unique. It has a poor lighting though. Some of the scenes especially the ones in the city are very dark. The video is very uninteresting, it has nothing special to offer. -Mimi 01:00, 31 July 2007 (PST)
