Your Entertainment Now 
I’m hoping “October Road” is my kind of show. I need something to fill my “Thursday’s at 9 o’clock” slot.
Help. I’ve seen the preview of it –what’s the song they play at the end of the preview? It’s lady singing..something like–somewhere, some … you’ll be long gone.
D’Ann, Pink sings that song!
What is the song they play on the preview for the show, someone on here said it is by Pink, but what is the title?
Thanks for chiming in, mosh with the name of the artist.
D’Ann and tiffany:
The song is indeed by Pink. It’s called “Who Knew” and it’s from her current album titled I’m Not Dead.
You can listen to a brief clip of it through Amazon.com’s CDNOW section here. (Simply scroll down the page until you come to the “Listen to Samples” section and click on the appropriate songs “Listen” link.)
Take care everyone!
what is the song they play at the beginning when all the guys are saying good bye to nick
What is the song they play when Nick is looking around his hometown!? I really like it….
The episode was loaded with songs, here is the full list along with an iTunes link for those songs available from that service (click the title of the song to purchase the song or listen to a sample).
In alphabetical order (by Artist):
Boston – “Don’t Look Back”
Collective Soul – “The World I Know”
Crowded House – “Weather With You”
Dan Zweben – “(Vampires) This Old Life”
David Byrne – “Glass, Concrete & Stone”
Devin Powers – “You’re All I Want”
Gin Blossoms – “Lost Horizons”
REO Speedwagon – “Take It On the Run”
Thin Lizzy – “The Boys Are Back in Town”
Three Dog Night – “Shambala”
The Vines – “Homesick”
Thanks for the info about the promo song! “Who Knew” is probably the best song I hear from Pink in years. Loving it!
I loved the show, especially the music. It was kind of eerie hearing Boston’s “Don’t Look Back” after the suicide of Boston singer Brad Delp in the last couple weeks
Thanks sooooo much RussT.C.!!! You’re the greatest! Smile!
i know this is so random but i just saw the promo for six degrees coming back and just as bridget moynihan’s character is getting proposed to there’s a song playing, a womans voice, and all i heard was “ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah…” if someone has this promo or knows the song please let me know!! thanks
omg! october road is an amazing show with incredible music!!!!! soooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!! …i want to find that devin powers song, but i cant find it anywhere :( …but yeah..AWESOME SHOW! :D
Hey, fann. If you notice, I did briefly discuss the return of Six Degrees in this post, so questions pertaining to either show are welcome. :)
If you’re talking about the promo spot that aired during Thursday nights episode of Grey’s Anatomy, the name of the song in that promo is “Love Will Come Through” from Travis. Click this link to be directed to the iTunes site to listen to the sample.
The song was actually used in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy this season. That’s how I recognized it so quickly.
i would also like to know the name of the song from the six degrees promo. it is not the travis song though.
Hmm, sorry then. Did the promo air during Grey’s Anatomy Thursday evening?
it aired during october road
Yeah, sorry. I didn’t keep my recording of October Road on my DVR as I decided to watch it semi-live (skipping the commericials). I didn’t notice the promo during the show.
Was it the same promo, just a different song? Because the promo that fann is talking about jives with the one I seen during Grey’s. The proposal bit is in it, and the song being played is “Love Will Come Through”.
Hopefully someone else who seen the promo can help out.
I meant to write down the song that was playing at the end credits last night and I have now forgotten as I sit here at work this afternoon….Someone please help! :-)
It’s an 90’s or later classic that I know and recognize. Just can’t seem to think of it now..
Just found it…POISON! :)
Hey everyone – go to http://www.tunefind.com. All music that is played on our favorite shows! yes.
it was a womans voice, just singing “ahh..” her voice getting higher like right after/as a guy showed the ring to bridget moynihan. i believe it aired around greys anatomy.
Yup, that’s a great resource, Trish.
What happened? I set my DVR to record Six Degrees last night, and all I got was the last half of a movie with Minnie Driver. Anyone else get pre-empted? Or did everyone get the return of Six Degrees? I have been waiting sooooo long. Hopefully it just got delayed ’til next week.
Can ABC grows some B-lls and Renew 6 degrees, Put the Nine on Saturday. Instead of showing first run shows twice a week, Greys Antaomy ets. The networks wonder why people swith to cable stations, when NBC, CBS ABC, kill shows that are good by playing them twice a week, way to many re-runs and its not even June!
Plus nevr giving shows time to grow and audience.
to fann and dsj – I was dying to know the song you were looking for as well. I finally found it. It is called “Put your records on” by Corinne Bailey Rae. Hopefully this is the same song you were looking for. You can find it on itunes.
I too heard the promo and I know the song you are thinking of but I can’t come up with the title or artist either. It’s not Corinne Bailey Rae… it’s older than that — at least several years old… starts with just piano and I think the first words might be something like “Let me tell you” or “Let me show you”, or something like that… and then on the chorus she has a long note that goes ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah something or other (so-ti-do-so-ti-do mi do), kind of almost with a little yodel/break in the voice as it goes up. I wish you could look up songs by melody somehow!
I finally remembered what that song was from the Six Degrees promo — the woman’s voice with ah-ah-ah… It’s “In This Life” by Chantal Kreviazuk! Whew, there, now I feel much better!
I totally love October Road!! It’s my new favorite show after Grey’s Anatomy. I absolutely love it!
What was the song they were playing while everyone was a the BBQ on tonights episode? It was just before the kid was hit by the car.

WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE SONG PLAYING WHILE THE 2 GIRLS WERE SITTING IN THE BAR AND THE ONE GIRL WAS THROWING THE SHOTS OVER HER SHOULDER??
Check this link to TuneFind. The site is pretty good at listing the songs appearing on an episode.
When is Devin Powers Coming out with a CD!!!! my friend and i love the song from october road, “Your all i want.” where can we find that CD or song! it is driving us crazy, (mostly her).
Does anybody know that song that was playing on a couple commercials for October Road that had something about “they say it’s a wonderful life” I know that’s not much but I can’t seem to find it on the show’s website. It’s a male’s voice and has an alternative sound to it
Hi!,
Anyone have the songs played on Six Degrees unaired episodes? I see those episodes are finally available online since they’ve cancelled this amazing show! :(
I saw episode 9 – sedgewicks – there are four great songs – i wrote down few lyrics but couldn’t catch the songs/find them on google. Would appreciate your help!
here are the lyrics:
1. song 1 – max’s parents get together: “and the mountains look so high…..i don’t believe”
2. Damien and the new girl at her apartment — “i just fall to pieces when you laugh my whole world eases
cross my heart and …
….big brown eyes”
3. max’s parents spend the evening together — “you gave me your secrets and heaven above….
do you want me now do you want me here”
4. at sedgewick’s bar — couldn’t catch any words.
Thanks!

hi can anyone tell me how did they come up with the title “october road”? whats october road? (the only october road i know is a band)…
No date yet Jenna. All we know is that it’ll be a midseason replacement, which means it’ll return sometime after the fall season, perhaps in January or later.
So October Road will be showing a second season??? I sure hope so!!
Is “October Road” coming back? I really hope so I miss it!
does anyone know the name of the song in the new october road promo? I heard these two lines in it, but not sure what it is…”so far gone” and “here comes the rest of our lives” Thanks!
The name of the song in the trailer is Best Days by Graham Colton, I believe.
Graham Colton – Best Days is the song on the new promo for october road…. here comes the rest of our lives
Loved the season opener! Does anyone know the artist who sang “I love New York” or where I can find it?
Hey L. TuneFind.com is a great site that tracks songs on television shows.
Here’s the October Road page.
I’m trying to figure out the song on the November 26th episode, that played when Nick saw that Hannah was engaged and walked away!
yes i watched the season premiere and LOVED the song at the end! Who knows !?
It’s “Fool for you anyway” by Foreigner. Great song!
L — The New York song you heard on the season premiere of “October Road” was “New York Groove” by Ace Frehley. It is a very old song by the KISS member.
whats the song thats playing in “” at the beginning and when hannah and the boys are eating in the tavern? i really like it. please help me!! thanks
the title of the episode is the most recent called “once around the block” when hannah punches Big Cat’s ex wife.
DONT END THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
I love October Road, I am not much of a TV watcher but I make sure I am home every Monday Night to watch it! I want to know when the NEXT SEASON starts? I can not find any details!!
