Affiliation for Sound

"At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, that war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world. 6 billion souls. And sometimes, all you need is one." ----Peyton Sawyer, "Brave New World" (3.01)

One noticeable characteristic on Peyton's character is her love for music, specifically the rock genre.

Peyton is always seen in her bedroom, sketching on a pad in front of her 24-hour webcam while listening to what her boyfriend Nathan labeled as "loser rock." Her taste in music evolved through years of trying to find a soundtrack to fit her melodrama and angst. She listens to guitar-driven tracks with lyrics that speak about redemption. She's not swayed by the fads but considers her music like her art; a sacred choice to where her dreadful ideas about life's obstacles are coming in full-view. Her music symbolizes a lot about her. She has a broad CD collection, most are from her mother when she was still alive. She's fond of collecting different songs and putting them on CDs, labeling them by whatever nostalgic mood she is feeling that day. These are what she calls her "mix tapes."

You can never capture Peyton's personality if you erase "music" to the equation. Everything about Peyton Sawyer is art and music, sight and sound. She finds connection through music and like her art, she tries to use this connection to form alliances from the people she considers worthy of her attention. She's as selective to her music as she is selective of her friends. Peyton, however cold she may seem, is surprisingly passionate when she talks about rock music, as if it is her religion. She would describe every significant event in her life that was inspired by a song or an artist. She loves music and believes that it can change the world and a concert that would be performed for that same reason, can also save lives.

She thinks kids like her deserve to find that music because music, she believes, prepares us for the struggles and makes us hopeful and brave. It may be a little childish to have this kind of point-of-view but her dedication to this belief gives Peyton the power to inspire other young people like her.

This came to reality when she founded the club "Tric" and handled a lot of bands (List of performers) to perform for Tree Hill students and parents. She realized how much she enjoyed orchestrating concerts to a lot of teenagers so she expanded her vision as time went by.
