More about this title

About the Composer: Tom Higgenson

Tom Higgenson is the lead singer and primary songwriter of The Plain White T's, the alternative rock band behind the 2006 hit "Hey There Delilah." His songwriting balances introspective lyricism with melodic accessibility, qualities that have made his compositions appealing across multiple musical contexts. Beyond his work in rock, Higgenson has collaborated with arrangers and music educators to adapt his material for choral ensembles, bringing contemporary songs into the rehearsal room.

Why we love this

Andy Beck's arrangement captures the intimacy and emotional directness of this beloved song while making it genuinely singable for mixed choirs. The SoundTrax accompaniment gives directors a professional foundation to build against, freeing rehearsal time for blend and interpretation rather than learning harmonies by ear.

What to expect

Warm and contemplative, with a folk-influenced simplicity that feels honest. The song's strength lies in its quiet intensity—a conversation between two people rendered in harmony, captured with sincerity rather than spectacle.

Who it's for

Mixed choirs looking for contemporary repertoire that connects emotionally with singers and audiences alike. This arrangement works for high school and community choirs seeking approachable material that doesn't sacrifice musical substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vulnerability of the melody against the harmonic support; this piece lives in restraint, not volume. Resist the impulse to push the dynamics.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment strategically during early rehearsals to establish the harmonic framework, then gradually reduce its use to develop your singers' independence.
  • Shape the phrasing to match natural speech rhythms rather than metronomic precision. The conversational quality of the lyric should guide your interpretation.
  • Pay attention to how the arrangement handles the moment when both voice parts enter together; clarity and rhythmic lock are essential there.

How to use it

Program this alongside other contemporary pop arrangements to show the breadth of modern songwriting, or pair it with acoustic or folk-inspired pieces for a cohesive set. The accessibility and recognizability make it particularly effective as a closer or finale that leaves audiences feeling connected to your choir.
