[ stay away stolen adventure ]

I watched the One Tree Hill rerun on ETC for the third time today. "I'm feeling the Road Mix," Peyton says near the end of the episode. You'll know why when you read the lyrics (or download the songs). It makes people (namely me) feel One Tree Hill-y - I want to go on a road trip to some remote town with my friends. Well, who knows, maybe someday I will.

Of course this episode started with the opening theme I Don't Wanna Be by Gavin DeGraw, which was on my favorites even before I really started liking One Tree Hill.

I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately

All I have to do is think of me and and have peace of mind

And then around the time Peyton and Lucas er, make out, Dashboard Confessional's Stolen comes on. Part of why I really really love One Tree Hill is the music. Other than the story, that is. And the characters.

Stolen is Dashboard's first single from their new album, Dusk and Summer (lovely name!). I remember being surprised to see it on the episode cause I'd just seen the video on MTV. Anyway, here is why I love the song:

We watch the season pull up its own stakes and catch the last weekend of the last week

Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced, another sun-soaked season fades away

Plus there's my favorite LSS line: "I watch you spin around in the highest heels/You are the best one, of the best ones/We all look like we feel/You have stolen my heart".

Near the end of the episode I heard some familiar music, when they're driving back to Tree Hill. I searched the lyrics and found it was called Stay Away by The Honorary Title (I am so favoriting this one). I got Gerard to search for it, downloaded it once I got to the internet cafe, and listened to it over and over again.

No, I can't dance less it's slow or sad, to a song that's far less obvious

You using me, do it slowly, make it last until I have to go

Love the meaning, or, story behind it, too. Read the rest of the lyrics and you'll know. By the way, I did say I recognized the music, didn't I? Once I got out of the cafe, I realized where I had heard it on before. Cycle Six of America's Next Top Model! The ending creds, I think.

No actually, I am getting quite confused. See the next song I got from One Tree Hill is The Adventure by Angels and Airwaves (also on my current favorites). I saw it on a YouTube vid made by an OTH fan. She did her own opening credits for season five. It sounded nice, and familiar too, so I downloaded it.

Now I'm listening to both songs, and it's not that they sound similar, cause they're both great, but I can't tell which is from ANTM and which is from OTH. I think both. So let me clear it up: this is just what I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, or do your own research.

The Adventure is on Season Four's ending creds. Stay Away is on the episode It Gets the Worst at Night, in which they go to Honey Grove.

On the other hand, ANTM Cycle 6 has Stay Away as its ending creds, and The Adventure on the part where they show the season's winner, Danielle. You know, the one where they airbrush all the other contestants away, leaving America's Next Top Model front and center.

That's as far as I remember. I hope I'm not mistaken, because I can almost swear I'm right. Anyway, we've been delayed far too long, and here's The Adventure by Angels and Airwaves.

I wanna have the same last dream again, the one where I wake up and I'm alive

Just as the four walls close me within, my eyes are open up with pure sunlight

Also the song that inspired the series creator, Mark Schwahn, is One Tree Hill by U2. It's actually about the place in New Zealand, but the song is great! Now I really appreciate the genius of Bono.

The sun so bright, it leaves no shadows, only scars carved into stone on the face of earth

The moon is up and over One Tree Hill, we see the sun go down in your eyes

The lyrics are really lovely. People from NZ said that it felt like home, and that it felt like loss (Bono wrote this for his friend Greg Carroll, who was killed by a drunk). Also that it couldn't be more poetic - a lot of hidden meanings. No wonder Mark Schwahn was inspired.

FIN.

i am loving the song when the stars go blue, therefore it is my layout for now. ask me later and it'll be different. :) i'm proudly pinay (with a little spanish and chinese descent on the side), and proudly bedan. this beloved blog of mine has been up since the eighteenth of february two thousand and six, but i have made other blogs before that. i write purely to let my feelings out and/or to keep my memories. someday i'm going to write a novel, but right now i'm concentrating on growing up.
