I recently began reading the syndicated radio star Delilah's book called "Love Matters." Her book is full of reasons why love matters. She is sappy, I know, but I have grown to appreciate hearing the personal stories from her listeners and her wise commentary.
If you are not familiar with her, Delilah is the host of a nighttime radio show broadcasted across all of North America and known for her mesmerizing voice that tells stories about love and loss as she then chooses sappy love songs accordingly. Delilah is not perfectly in tune with her own love story, she has even been divorced three times in her life and still has not found "the one" she explains, but listening to other's experiences is fulfilling to her.
She has deemed herself the "Queen of Sappy Love Songs" and has been said to say her show is a "safety zone where listeners take off their armor, slip into a comfortable cardigan, sit around the electronic hearth and share their secrets."
In her book Delilah writes of her favorite love stories over the years including "The joyful reunion of a widow with her first love thirty-eight years after giving birth to their child, "A young woman's agonizing decision to renounce the love she found while working at Ground Zero in the aftermath of 9/11," and "A poignant encounter with a "Christmas angel" during one man's holiday rounds as a professional Santa.

Ok so maybe I am fellow sap, but I absolutely love Delilah. Listening to her stories over the years has made me more of a hopeless romantic for sure. Her back story is very funny however, she kinda sounds like a hypocrite when you think about, like her whole premise is a sham, but I love her still and often listen to her show when I can't sleep lol.
ReplyDeleteI love Delilah and I am no sap! I think that she is sweet, endearing, and a good reminder to never give up until you are happy. She is a change of pace from yelling and those shows that offer you a chance to complain about something.
ReplyDeleteLate at night, when driving home, she is a calming voice; although, her show might not help a person stay awake while driving, it provides a little bit of "music TLC" that we all need every once in a while.
