Bethany Joy Galeotti - Leaving Town Alive

Another song from Bethany, who plays Haley James Scott in One Tree Hill.

I wish this song had been around when I was growing up, I now realise it is ok to make mistakes. And I still make them. :-)

One Tree Hill is back... and it's all so different

Season 7 started last week on E4. Even though there is now no Lucas and Peyton :-( I still found myself totally gripped by it and wanting to watch the next episode.

Feel this By Haley James Scott (Bethany Joy Galeotti)

One Tree Hill is still one of my favourite TV programmes and Season 7 will soon hit the UK, although I'm not sure I like the fact that Hilarie Burton (Peyton) and Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) have gone. I've been watching a bit of the old stuff on E4 recently, and for some reason I have even Sky+'d some even though I have them all on DVD. Weird.

One Tree Hill Quote "Why won't you ever just let me all the way in?"

I thought today I'd watch a bit of One Tree Hill and I picked a random disc and a random episode and it was Nathan and Haley's wedding. Tear jerker bit is the scene with Lucas and Brooke and key quotes from this scene are:

Brooke Davis: "A kiss always means something"

Brooke Davis: "How about how you show it? I am not pushing you away, Lucas, I am holding on for dear life. But I need you to need me back, okay? Why didn't you tell me about the kiss? And why didn't you call me while you were away? And why won't you ever just let me all the way in?"

Lucas Scott: "Please don't be mad, Brooke".

Brooke Davis: "I'm not mad, Luke. I'm not mad".

*wipes tears*

Halo - Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley James Scott, One Tree Hill) A song from the show

I never promised you a ray of light, 
I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday, 
I give you everything I have, the good, the bad. 
Why do you put me on a pedestal, 
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below, 
So help me down you've got it wrong, I don't belong there. 

One thing is clear, 
I wear a halo, 
I wear a halo when you look at me, 
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so 
you wouldn't say so, if you were me 
And I, I just wanna love you, 
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you 

I always said that I would make mistakes, 
I'm only human, and that's my saving grace, 
I fall as hard as I try 
So don't be blinded 
See me as I really am, I have flaws and sometimes I even sin, 
so pull me from that pedestal, 
I don't belong there. 

One thing is clear, 
I wear a halo, 
I wear a halo when you look at me, 
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so 
you wouldn't say so, if you were me 
And I, I just wanna love you, 
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you 

Why you think that you know me 
But In your eyes 
I am something above you 
It's only in your mind 
Only in your mind 
I wear a 
I wear a 
I wear a Halo 

Voiceover by new character Samantha Walker, her essay on how she felt about Quentin's death.

"Quentin Fields was a basketball player. He was also a son. A brother. Somebody's teammate. Somebody's friend. I never knew Quentin Fields and I guess now I never will.

Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you weren't you anymore? If you were suddenly gone how would your world react? Whatever you imagined was wrong. There's nothing romantic about death. Grief is like the ocean: it's deep and dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the night. Quiet. Persistent. Unfair. Diminished by time and faith and love.

I didn't know Quentin Fields but I'm jealous of him because I see how his absence has affected the people that did know him so I know that he did matter to them. And I know he was loved. People say Quentin Fields was a great basketball player. Graceful. Fluid. Inspiring. They say on a good night it almost seemed as though he could fly. And now he can"

Also in Haley's class when she asks who wrote a "we will miss you" note on Quentin's desk she takes the marker pen away from the culprit and writes her own message;

"He who does not weep does not see"

From Les Miserables.

One Tree Hill last night

So One Tree Hill last night kept us waiting to see just who was the funeral for...Quentin. At the end you see young hopeful basketball player Quentin getting shot at a petrol station. Poor Jamie who has grown ever fond of his new role model, and had made Quentin a cape just like the one he has.

Lucas and Peyton return with their engagement news to find a badly bruised Brooke who does not tell them about the attack at her store and instead says that she fell down the stairs. Brooke turns to the only person she knows who can help her, Deb. Brooke is now unconfident and is out for revenge for what happened to her. It's not clear if the attack has anything to do with her mother as the designs that she was just about to put forward were stolen during the attack. Of course her mother wanted those designs and she's a mean piece of work and nothing is beyond what she would do to get them. Deb a little bit side tracked by Jamie having seen her kissing Skills earlier in the day, arrives at Brooke's request to meet her and is totally shocked by the state of Brooke. Deb is told everything but is asked to not tell anyone about what really happened. Brooke asks if she still has her gun, and asks if Deb will show her how to use it. Of course with all the trouble with Dan she knows about revenge and the need for protection.

Speaking of Dan, he is still being kept hostage but now Carrie knows he doesn't have long left and was on the list for a heart transplant (his beeper went just as he was hit by her car!) so her plan for setting him up as the kidnapper of Jamie is now not looking promising.

Nathan and Haley are told by the doctor that Nathan's back might hold out for a few years but he could put himself back into a wheelchair for the rest of his life if he overdoes it. Nathan tells Haley he wants to be a husband and father before playing basketball, but basketball is all Nathan knows? He can't give it up? Can he?
