I'll admit it: I first found Tyler Hilton while watching One Tree Hill. He was Nathan's adversary for Haley's affections early on in the show. His character was a complete ass, but his singing was amazing. I loved his music. I recently picked up his Ladies and Gentlemen EP from iTunes. This is among my new favorite songs. I love the singing, the music, but I especially love the lyrics. I need to keep that spark of hope. Even in times like these.
Lyrics:
Sometimes you crawl Sometimes you don't even move at all Sometimes you pray Sometimes you don't have the words to say
Drop your baggage on my front door You don't have to carry it alone anymore
'Cause tonight ain't the end of the story Just keep turning the page Don't give into the heartache Don't give into the pain
This world will turn your way Baby one of these days This world will turn your way
Sometimes we fallSometimes we don't feel the crash at allSometimes we breakSometimes we've taken all that we can take
Lay your burden down by my sideYou know tomorrow that sun's gonna rise
But tonight ain't the end of the story Just keep turning the page Don't give into the heartache Don't give into the pain
This world will turn your way Baby one of these days This world will turn your way
(Keep feeling it, keep feeling it Don't give in, don't give into it)

And I found this live version from May 2010:
Who likes Kings of Leon?
And of course my favorite One Tree Hill song, "When the Stars Go Blue" (and yes I know it's a Ryan Adams song, I just really love this version):
