Apart from being a popular teenage drama with an attractive cast, riveting storylines, and lifelong messages, "One Tree Hill" is best known for its incredible soundtrack. Music played a huge role throughout series, from having guest performers to having a fictional record label. Almost every song on the show was golden, but here is a list of some of my favorites!

1. "I Don't Wanna Be" - Gavin DeGraw

I feel as if it would almost be offensive if I didn't start this thread with this song. I have watched a lot of tv shows with a lot of different theme songs, but this one is by far my favorite. You can't deny how catchy it is and how it just gives you chills every time you hear it.

2. "Halo" - Haley James Scott aka Bethany Joy Lenz

I don't care what anyone says, this song is a bop.

3. "Never Let Me Go" - Florence and the Machine 

The scene that goes along with this song...oh, help me. I can't think of a better song that could have been playing during Nathan and Haley's reunion after Nathan was kidnapped. I can't listen to this song with hearing the words "hi, Hales."

4. "Dare You To Move" - Switchfoot 

Okay, so this is another Naley moment song, but can you really blame me? Naley is the superior couple.

5. "Missing You" - Tyler Hilton

Technically, this song is a cover. But Tyler rocks it.

6. "Solider" - Gavin DeGraw 

7. "In Love With A Girl" - Gavin DeGraw

I could probably put every Gavin DeGraw song on this list if I really wanted to.

8. "Secret Crowds" - Angels & Airwaves 

I'll tell ya, the CODA moments of the show usually had the best songs to accompany them with and this song was no exception,

9. "Get Down Tonight" - KC & the Sunshine Band 

This song is just a classic. It would be offensive if I didn't include it.

10. "Loaded Gun" - Tyler Hilton 

11. "What I Love About Your Love" - Jana Kramer 

As a huge country music fan, it made me so ridiculously happy when it got some representation in this show!

12. "Half Moon" - Blind Pilot 

13. "Long Gone" - Chris Cornell 

14. "When The Stars Go Blue" - Tyler Hilton & Bethany Joy Lenz

This song may have been the song that tore Naley apart, but it's still a bop.

15. "All In My Head" - Nick Lachey 

16. "99 Times" - Kate Voegle 

This song is so bad ass, just like Kate is.

17. "Wedding Dress" - Matt Nathanson 

18. "Reanimation" - Blackalicious  

There were a lot of dance moments in this show, but this was by far the best one.

19. "She Will Be Loved" - Maroon 5

20. "Calling All Angels" - Train

Iconic. Classic moment.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
