Degrassi 1001

What A Girls Wants, Pt. 1

Original Air Date: July 19, 2010

Times We Had by The Camels
This song reminds me of high school, and one kid in particular.  It kind of stuck in my head, and when the time came to open the doors of Degrassi once more, that kid was all I could think about.

Kindergarten by Zeus
The backing band for Jason Collett for a while, these musicians form a really great band.  Though we would have preferred hearing a feature use because they’re so good, we expect nothing but good things to come from Zeus.

Take It For Granted by illScarlett
We had this song in the running for the Degrassi New York special, but this spot turned out to be better.  IllScarlett, one of our must-place bands for this season, were all really into the placement.  I love the shot of the red mustang as this song is booming.

Never look Back by Zach Berkman
Another great artist to come out of Cherry Lane, Zach’s music came out just in time for the Season – and his voice, lyrics and music was just a terrific fit with what we were doing.

The One by Black Mustang
A darker song, these Australians had this song featured over Vanderbilt Prep’s establishing shot.  We’d had this song in our scope for a while and were happy to have found a home for it.

Hand To Hold by Adaline
Adaline holds a special place with us, we just love her music.  This song was actually a demo and almost never saw the light of day, until Adaline herself felt I should hear it, just for fun.  I was instantly moved and was sold right away, I had to find a place for it.  The following week, this scene appeared and in my mind, it was the only song for the spot.  Low and behold it became somewhat Fiona's theme music.  In one of the verses, Adaline sings "love takes no prisoners, and some die alone", and her voice wavers softly, and I had to capture that moment in the show.
