We scored an interview with Lindsay Wolfington, music
supervisor for One Tree Hill.
One Tree Hill Newsletter: What makes a song or
album One Tree Hill-worthy? What qualities do you look for in a song (moodiness,
minor keys, provocative lyrics)?
Lindsay Wolfington: We definitely have a sound. Travis's "Reoffender"
was on our soundtrack -- that was our first cliffhanger, and that's been
the model for what our cliffhanger songs are like. It's a very lush sound
[featuring] guitars, piano, and multiple instruments. The words we use
are usually heartfelt. At the end of every episode, we use a song over
a montage. We call that our coda song. In music, that's the summing up
- the ending. Those songs capture the tone of the episode. Usually soaring,
often bittersweet.
OTH Newsletter: We received a question from a fan: "I wanted
to ask, will there be a soundtrack to the show every season also? Because
the songs are so great and I don't know the names and bands, so I was
just wondering if there would be [another] soundtrack."
Lindsay Wolfington: There will be a second soundtrack
this year that will coincide with a Peyton storyline. We would love to
do a soundtrack each year, but that is decided year by year.

Chicago pop-punk/emo band Fall
Out Boy will make an appearance on OTH this fall! Check
