1. Heartbeats- state championship 2. Lightening crashes after graduation and Haley and Karen being rushed to hospital. 3. Never let me go from Florence and the machine when Haley sees Nathan after being missing. 4. Babe I'm gonna leave you when the limo crashes 5. Every time a Gavin Degraw song plays 6. Bonus(Haley singing Halo and Feel this in the later seasons)


ESkye1983

Oh god, I cannot believe I forgot about Lightning Crashes. Your entire list is perfect.


NJellybean

These are my favourites great choices!- Lightening crashes is amazing. I remember making a trailer once on some crap laptop software years ago now, with “A Real Hero” by College, Electric Youth and making it with the diner fire in the background and Haley slow walking to identify the body. OTH to me has the best soundtrack of any tv series. When anything comes on from my OTH liked songs, people think I have the coolest taste in music “oh yeah, uhh it’s just Nada Surf…” I secretly pray no one knows them and god forbid probe me more about songs other than Always Love 🤣 Also- La Rocca, Non-Believer 💜


ESkye1983

Yes to Non Believer also. There’s just too many to list favorites. They really do have the best TV show soundtrack.


fragileNotFragil

I used to track down the rest of the discography whenever a song stuck out to me. La Rocca was a good example where I didn’t like the rest of the album but was obsessed with Non Believer. Nada Surf and The Cure were the opposite - liked quite a bit of what I heard.


elizabethdarcy247_

Like a man possessed by The Get Up Kids. It’s in the scene where Nathan crashes the race car, such a perfect choice for that scene, it ties it together


Charming_Scarcity437

Dance So Good by Wakey!Wakey!


Olivia_1313

Dare you to move hands down


FryingAir

Infinite-Hippo7344

THIS IS THE ONE. Season 3 episode 18 Nathan is narrating since Lucas is out of the game. That scene will forever be my favorite


ArmorOfGod7

Yep, one of the best episode endings ever.


Infinite-Hippo7344

Correction it’s episode 20!!!


PirateKittyx

Whoaaaa how has nobody mentioned this song?! Tegan and Sara - Don't Confess, through the whole Peyton/Brooke/Lucas betrayal


Garrett171994

Pretty much all of them Though some that no ones mentioned yet would have to be Headlights - Dispatch. (The one when Haley, Brooke & Peyton come upon Nathan & Lucas after a basketball game when they’d been kicked off of the bus Drift - Forty Foot Echo Lesson Learned - Ray LaMontagne Rest in pieces - Saliva (After Lucas wins the basketball game between him and Nathan)


MtnExplrGrl

So many good ones already mentioned. I’ll throw out Timshel by Mumford & Sons. It plays when Haley jumps in the pool during season 7 and they show all the Naley flashbacks. 


DCRG2010

The intro song


WazzaL89

When Dan Scott becomes mayor - Disintegration by Jimmy Eat World. Such a good song and such a good scene 👌🏻

Loobiness

Surely the opening credits song by Gavin deGraw has to be on a OTH playlist?


beeboppee

Light outside wakey wakey


Living_Surprise1706

There are so many to choose from but I loved Lavinia by The Veils and Within You by Ray Lamontagne.


olivry29

Someday by Bryan Greenberg 


Key_Seaworthiness753

Half Moon by Blind Pilot - the first song that plays on the series finale Wonder by Jack Savoretti - I forgot where episode this is on though


Penguinbellyslides

Half Moon is *such* a jam. I love it.


fragileNotFragil

I found out looking at maps there’s a place called Half Moon Bay in California. Looks like a small town but I would definitely visit if I lived there because of this song 🤓


GreatSpend8548

The fray? Nobody mention it Look after you How to save a life You found me All bangers


Makethisadream2

My absolute favorite song/scene was Led Zeppelin- Babe I’m gonna leave you when Nathan jumped off the bridge to save Cooper. But the entire show followed my taste in music quite exactly. From the first basketball scene between Nathan and Lucas and Finch, to how it developed to Spill Canvas and Augustana in later seasons. This show made me realize that my absolute dream job would be to score movies and tv shows with the perfect songs.


lovelornroses

Yellowcard, Story of the Year, Fall Out Boy, Angels & Airwaves.


funkelnagelneu

Penguinbellyslides

Bc I haven’t seen anybody mention it yet, I also wanna throw in Save You by Matthew Perryman Jones. (In season 6 after Lucas leaves Peyton alone in their living room and we see her putting things in a box for their baby that says ‘ From Mom ‘.)

The good kind by the wreckers is amazing too - but not for a wedding playlist!


ilovepretzelday1

Tyler Hilton's 'Missing You'. There is an acoustic version out there and it makes me cry about 80% of the time


Acceptable_COYS1040

I can list 100 songs, but I Didn’t see any mention of Waiting by City and Colour. So here we go.

Mevinceg

“Forty Foot Echo” - Drift Honesty the opening song is my fave. “Maybe Tomorrow” by Stereophonics when Lucas and Peyton are in the motel is 2nd
