Have you ever heard a song on TV or in a movie and thought, "Hmmm, I'd sure like to buy that." I do all the time, only the majority of the time I can't find the name of the tune or even an artist. I rely on hastily thrown together and rarely updates fan sites for such things and, usually, they're missing some sort of crucial bit of information which prevents me from finding the song. Except today, that is.
I first heard this song in an episode of The OC. I checked every fansite I could find and, even though most of them were great, none seemed to be able to name this song. It also wasn't on any of the OC Mixes the show would put out every season. I was heartbroken. The tune was haunting; a mix of folky guitar with melodc, layered vocals. I had to have it.
Flash forward two years to this morning. I was laying in bed, idly enjoying some Friday Night Lights I had downloaded a few weeks ago. BAM, the songs pops up again. This time the fansites were more generous and identified the song as "Eyes" by Rouge Wave (it's great, by the way. You should all listen to it).
Anyway, this is a rather long way of suggesting that IMDB or some similar site cataloging movies and TV add a song section to clear up this problem for me and anyone else who likes music. The soundtracks for these shows are planned out long in advance and there's no reason they couldn't have accurate, up-to-date info. So, come on, IMDB, help me out?
