2002年，在O-Town解散之後，Ashley Parker Angel独自一人来到洛杉矶寻求发展。在自己创作了多首歌曲之後，Ashley开始爲自己寻找制作人。有了之前在O-Town发片的经历，Ashley Parker Angel已经完全有能力自主选择他想要合作的对象。2004年，Ashley最终选择了与Da' Family Entertainment旗下的Blackground唱片公司正式签约。与此同时，随著电视台真人电视节目的流行，MTV台与Ashley接洽，想要以他重新进入音乐界爲题材拍一部名爲"There and Back: Ashley Parker Angel"的节目，而Ashley Parker Angel痛快地接受了这次邀请。
2006年1月，《There and Back: Ashley Parker Angel》开始上映，再现了Ashley Parker Angel爲了重新发行专辑而在幕後所付出不懈努力的场景。2006年5月，Ashley Parker Angel的首张个人专辑《Soundtrack to Your Life》终於与歌迷见面。在本张专辑中，Ashley不仅一改昔日的流行曲风，而且还亲自参与到专辑所有12首歌曲的创作当中，获得了评论界和歌迷的一致好评。在发行後的第一周，《Soundtrack to Your Life》以7万2千张的单周销量排在本周Billboard 200专辑榜的第五位。
中英文歌词
there's an empty room full of memories,
心里有间空房子，装满了回忆
and everywhere i look,
以及装满了我曾看过的每一个地方
it's where we used to be.
那是我们曾经常去的
it's like a photograph,
就像照片
a moment froze in time,
冰冻了那些瞬间
i'm staring at your face,
我凝视着你的脸庞
even when i close my eyes.
甚至当我闭上眼了
oh oh, where'd you go?
你去哪里了？
i thought you'd never leave,
我以为你不会离开
oh oh, should you know,
你知道吗？
how much you mean to me.
你对我意义重大
oh oh, where you are is where i wanna be,
你去的地方，也是我想要到达的
so, it's a shame that you'll never really know.
然而很遗憾你不曾了解
i wish i could go back,
我希望我能够回到过去
and be with you again.
能够再和你一起
'cos there's so many things i should have said,
因为有那么多的事我该告诉你
when i had you listening.
当你听我诉说的时候
as close as we were then, as far as we are now,
就像以前一样亲近，像现在一样遥远
as much as this won't change a thing,
就像那些都不会改变
you've got me calling out...
而你唤起了一切回忆
oh oh, where'd you go?
你去哪里了？
i thought you'd never leave,
我以为你不会离开
oh oh, should you know,
你知道吗？
how much you mean to me.
你对我意义重大
oh oh, where you are is where i wanna be,
你去的地方，也是我想要到达的
so, it's a shame that you'll never really know.
然而很遗憾你不曾了解
now was it ever meant to last?
现在就意味着永远吗？
the candles burned from yesterday,
（就像）蜡烛一直从昨天燃烧到现在
the past is over, gone ahead
燃烧过的就结束了，而剩下的继续
and watch the glow just fade away.
然后，它的光亮渐渐消逝
i can't run to catch my breath,
我无法奔跑去追逐我的呼吸
i can't hide to see what's left,
我无法掩藏无看还有什么留下
the places,the boats the dreams the tears
那些地方，那些船，那些梦想和眼泪
all disappeared...
都消逝了
