Or maybe all the discussion over twi-tracks is really inspired by Ms. Meyer herself, since she and Seth have done us the great kindness of adding playlists to her www with tunes that filled her days and nights while vampires and werewolves and dorky teen girls evolved and took shape in her mind. Music is clearly a driving creative force behind Stephanie, so it's no wonder why we all seem so up in arms over song choices to set the tone for her on-screen creations.
So I've had a number of songs in mind over the last few months for New Moon, songs which i feel lyrically and atmospherically capture the moment. First we need to consider, what KEY scenes are absolutely (ya'd think) going to make it to the big screen for book 2. Then sit and whittle down from the gazillion options what songs fit best in each scene. So having done this, here's my humble opinion.... and I really hope at least some of these make it in there.
SCENE 1 - Intro... Well, I don't see any reason why the Black Ghosts "Full Moon" can't be repeated for the intro credits. I feel like that song is basically the theme for the entire saga now.... but I haven't really thought about it much.
SCENE 2 - Bella's Birthday. Not entirely sure an actual SONG would fit this scene, but maybe some original instrumentals, or Bella's Lullabye soft in the background.
SCENE 4 - The End (Bella's meltdown in the woods). Evanescance "Immortal Beloved"
There simply is no other choice, to feel the scene from Bella's perspective. But what about Edward in this scene? How it must have been tearing out whatever inkling of a soul he had left to walk away... so for his theme track, if there had to be a second choice, I've considered Breaking Benjamin's "Evil Angel"... yes, a slightly edgier version of this downward spiral, but still lyrically fitting. What do you think?
Hold it together, birds of a feather, Nothing but lies and crooked wings.
I have the answer, spreading the cancer, you are the faith inside me.
No, don't leave me to die here, help me survive here.
Alone, don't remember, remember.
[Chorus]
Put me to sleep evil angel.
Open your wings evil angel.
I'm a believer, nothing could be worse, all these imaginary friends.
Hiding betrayal, driving the nail, hoping to find a savior.
No, don't leave me to die here, help me survive here.
Alone, don't surrender, surrender.
[Chorus]
Put me to sleep evil angel.
Open your wings evil angel.
Fly over me evil angel.
Why can't I breathe evil angel?
or maybe another BB track, "Unknown Soldier", is a better choice?
Border line, Dead inside. I don't mind, Falling to pieces.
Count me in, violent Let's begin, feeding the sickness.
How do I simplify, Dislocate - the enemy's on the way.
[Chorus:]
Show me what it's like To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.
Full of fear, Ever clear. I'll be here, Fighting forever.
Curious, Venomous, You'll find me Climbing to heaven.
Never mind, Turn back time. You'll be fine - I will
get left behind.
[Chorus]
Holding on too tight. Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.
It only hurts just once. They're only broken bones. Hide the hate inside.
Oh.
[Very quiet voice:]
Forever ... one
I'll be fine
[Chorus]
Holding on too tight. Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind
To be continued...
