The radio station I regularly listen to just aired "Hey There Delilah" and I listened to it all. The song is OK (nothing I would buy, though) and there is one part that seems very familiar, but I don't know from which song. The part I am talking about is "A thousand miles seems pretty far[...]And you're to blame". Any idea? Maybe "Dust In The Wind"? No, definitely not.

I've got it! Dolly Parton's "Jolene".

I heard this song many months before it was released (or so I remember unsure.gif ) but I still like it, even now.

wtf? wassat.gif

The lyrics to those songs are nothing alike.
Sebastian Mares
Not the lyrics, the melody. Jolene is only slightly faster. But as I said, only the "A thousand miles seems pretty far[...]And you're to blame" part.

No matter how many times I play those two songs I cannot hear Jolene in the melody but that is probably just me.

Well, no idea. If I listen to

I find it similar to

It does have a similar style to dust in the wind. I'm not sure about big boob's song though.
