renewal...

There's something about renewal... whether it's the silly relief of renewing an almost overdue movie or the relief of renewing a friendship or a sense of self... it always brings something with it. Right about now I'm a little overworked and seeking renewal. But good news came this week when the tv executives confirmed One Tree Hill has been renewed! Ok so a silly sense of renewal, but brought relief just the same.

I have watched OTH from the beginning. I think my satisfaction has been well-documented through this blog over the years. I thought this season actually turned out pretty good despite the absence of my favorites Lucas and Peyton. I grew to like Quinn and Clay but this also means... SPOILER alert... the season 7 finale left me hoping they really didn't kill them off after just one season... I'm praying for a speedy recovery for both of them.

Earlier this week I posted one of the song's from the finale, "Almost Everything" by Wakey Wakey. During the last eight minutes of the show, there was this haunting song that I kept trying to google during the finale but could never find it. Turns out the song is "Carry You Home" by Nashville Skyline... Nashville Skyline is a collaboration between OTH creator/writer/director/producer Mark Schwahn, and musicians Matthew Ryan, Michael Grubbs, Courtney Jaye, and Dallas Green. They wrote the song for the purpose of the finale making it perfect.

I found the last eight minutes of OTH with the song in the background... just a warning it gives away the entire episode so be prepared if you haven't watched it yet... Should you care less about OTH and just feeling curious about the song you can listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXx0GCzrDM8

However... I do feel like the storyline makes the song mean that much more...
