Pick The Song for Twilight

June 28th, 2008 at 12:05 am by Kaleb Nation

I have been planning this for a while now, and as I near the last two weeks of reading Twilight, the time has come to open the polls!

Everyone knows the importance of the final song in a film, the one that plays during the credits. The purpose of this is to bring the film to a closing with a song that seems to represent the movie you just watched. As songs have been such an important part of each chapter post, I have decided to take a vote for what the final song for Twilight should be, in the opinion of all the Twilighters around the world!

The goal is to find a song that seems to represent Twilight (the first book) as a whole to you. You can nominate up to 3 songs, but you must submit them separately.

There will be two rounds. One, will be suggesting songs. The second will be voting on the top-ten of those suggested. I will post the song for Twilight when I write on the epilogue, with my final thoughts on the book.

Pick The Song For Eclipse (Round 1)

savannah

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! the song i choose is my all time favorite!!!!! and my brothers!!!!!!!!!!!

Natasha

I submitted my song, but I don't know if it'll be picked.
Best of luck for those that entered, I hope to see some good songs. :)

Audree

What a fun, great idea!

Claire

Great idea!
I can think of a couple of songs that epitomize Twilight, I'll go check out my playlist right now!

Michelle

That was cool.

I Punched A Werewolf in the Fa

I am pretty sure NONE of my choices will be in the top 10, but they're really lovely! I hope you get a chance to hear them some time Kaleb.

Megan

Yes I am awake at times of the night where NORMAL people sleep, but i needed to comment... i love this! =3 My song may be old and sortta sappy but i think the lyrics say it all ^^

Piper

Hmmm... I hope that my song is one of the top ten ^_^

Anonymous

So this is round one. When is round two? I'm too impatient to wait until it actually arrives to figure it out.

Jessie

This is fun!
I submitted a really obvious one, but I don't think it'll get picked.
Good Luck to everyone! :)

melissahope

ohmygah.kalebiloveyou.

melissahope

Megan-

haha. me too. i didn't go to sleep last night. it's like 7:00 in the morning.

Megan

Oooooh.
I'm the 13th commenter. Possibly a bad sign.
On top of that, I'm the 13th commenter and I'm the second one with my name.
I want to hear everybody's picks very badly. I didn't vote.
I am physically incapable of picking a song to represent a book. I pick songs to represent characters.

twilight22lover

i hope i win! i know a lot of people think the song i chose is a good twilight one, so maybe i will win!

Rachel

Thanks Kaleb, this looks like fun!
Anything Muse would be perfect, but I also really like the song Kepping Me Alive, by the Afters...check it out!

Annie

I can't wait to see what ones make it to the top ten! i really hope mine does, because it exactly tells you what edward is kinda feeling..... but it could also sorta work for new moon too......

Gill Pont

Kaleb, is there a limit as to how many times you may suggest a song? (I have a few that all fit Twilight.)

Carla

The song I picked seems like it was written for Twilight. I don't think it will make the Top 10, though. It's not that known.

GREAT idea, Kaleb! :D

Carla

I just submitted another one. I think I'm going for the 3rd and last one. :D

Anza

My song always reminds me of Bella/Edward's relationship. If you listen to the words (esp. the chorus), you'll totally agree. :)

Jen

I've always thought of Sound of Pulling Heaven Down by Blue October to be perfect for the credit song. I listen to it whenever I'm reading the end of Twilight

Ashley

Oops, i didn't see the part where you can only do 3. I did five......

KatRin

fun idea! I just spent like 30 minutes going through all my songs and looking up lyrics, then another 10 narrowing it down to three songs... definitely harder than I thought it was going to be! :P

fernanda

i'll have to do some serious research!! although i already suggested a song for the epilogue. does that count??

Tina

I hope my song gets picked :D

Dianne

I'm hoping my songs went through! I hope mine gets picked, too! :)

CullenCrazy

I just submitted one, I hope it gets picked!! Can't wait to see the top 10.

Morgan A.

I just submitted one! I think it's perfect for the whole book and i checked and it's on Stephenie's playlist too! I hope it gets picked!!

liz

I think songs that aren't in stephenie's playlist should make the final cut, I mean, come on! She already made the playlist so the obviously already represent the book, so why not go with something different.

Mara-Kate

Love this idea!! So much fun, off to listen to my Twilight Playlist to find the best one ! :)

Melinda

Oh. This is a FANTASTIC idea.
I love it.
But I have too many songs to choose from. This is going to be tough. I'm gonna have to think about this long and hard.
:)
Nice Kaleb!

Katie Beth

Oh yay. :-D I've been wanting to suggest one of those songs to someone (anyone!) for FOREVER. Let the voice be heard, whether it's ignored or not, right?

Deja

Wooo! Great Idea Kaleb... I hope my song gets picked it's always reminded me of Twilight.. he he it took me forever to pick a song because I was searching through my i-pod and every single song reminds me in some way of Twilight :) okay enough rambling great Idea once again :)

MoonStar

I love the tune I picked!!
The words just seem to fit Twilight =]

Kaleb, I love your posts, they're really funny yet insightful. Reading them makes me feel like I'm reading Twilight for the first time again - keep it up!!

~MoonStar

Christar

I submitted my songs, and I hope they're on the top ten! They're all amazing and I listen to them incessantly because of how eerily they fit Twilight.

Clair

submitted mine...but im so sure they wont make the top 10!
if anyones interested, they are:
everything by michael buble
even angels fall by jessica riddle
everytime we touch by cascada

Libby

I submitted a song--it's perfect for Twilight, from both Edward AND Bella's perspective (though probably mainly Edward's). But I guess we'll have to see what the top 10 are... I wonder what everyone else picked?

Jumana

The song i picked matches the book perfectly its called Here in your arms by hello goodbye

Katie

I picked the song Calling All Cars by Senses Fail. I fell it fits it perfectly!

Heather Cullen

Lion - Rebecca St James
Perfect song anybody would agree once they listen to it!

Stacey

This is for Keeps - the spill canvas!! that songs is flippin made for twilight. listen to the words, (totally edward and bella)

Kara

Won't let me submit.
But I think "Eat You Alive" by Limp Bizkit would be really good =)

twilightdew

It was hard coming with just three!

I think that "Here With Me" by Dido should make the top 10. Not only is it in Stephenie's playlist but I think that it would really work well as a closing song. I also submitted:

Maybe An Angel - Heather Nova
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At488lpq2DA
Lyrics: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/h/heather+nova/maybe...

The Way It Is – Nicole Atkins
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4pxn-xULNs
Lyrics: http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/nicole_atkins...

Keatyn

I submitted
Say Hi to Your Mom - Blah Blah Blah.

The eniter album Impeccable Blahs is about Vampires.

Tanit

Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen

(it's beautiful and perfect for them)

Ligia

I got a "THE VOTING FOR THE TWILIGHT SONG HAS MALFUNCTIONED. IT IS BEING WORKED ON RIGHT NOW." at the top of the page.
Did it submit?
Hands Down - Dashboard Confessional

Marianne

I like maps by the yeah yeah yeahs

jaqueline

I love the Twilight's playlist but i love much more my playlist of Twilight...
There´s so many songs for Bella and Edward's love that i can't believe that this kind of love is right there in so many songs... so i put two songs for u.. i think that Shooting star by Air traffic, Time is running out by Muse and Kelsey by metro station are awsome!!

catherine

beautiful love by THE AFTERS
PERFECT for the epilogue

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PLVNmvEqcUs

Debbie

i thought You're not alone by sasoin would work because it's tense in the beginning but it gets calmer and talks about how you're never alone, just like Bella and Edward even if they were to be seperated by thousands of miles... or that's just me...

Krystina

Deeper by Hanson

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PMUkX0Vx_kY

Alexandra

Ummm...it is really a hard one...There are so many songs that are out there and describe their relationship, however on the otherhand, it is so hard to get everything about their lives together. Some of the top songs I know are All Around Me by Flyleaf.

Alexandra

Ok, my other song is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. I think that this song is a mixture of Edward and Bella's POV...I think that everything but the chorus is Bella, but the chorus is Edward...plus I just really like this song, but I do think that it relates to Twilight alot...

Lissete [Frerard Addict]

I submitted one, but I'm afraid it's already been submitted by someone else because it's so popular and obvious. =O

Nikita

I really hope that mine makes it =) Beautiful Love by The Afters reminds me of how Bella and Edward look at each other throughout the book. AWESOME song =)

Mel

Here's one of the 2 songs I submitted

This Is for Keeps - The Spill Canvas

http://youtube.com/watch?v=W6xtBm4KUWU

The other is Good Looks, Bad Intentions by The Sunstreak, but I couldnt find a good one

Anna

:O I submitted This Is For Keeps too!
I have a feeling a lot of people are going to submit that haha

twilightdew

Have any of you guys heard of the artist Kerli? I just found her music just now and I think she is fantastic. You can hear it on her myspace at http://www.myspace.com/kerlimusic

I think that her song "Walking On Air" would be perfect for Twilight.

If you're interested, the lyrics are at http://www.seekalyric.com/song/Kerli/Walking_On...

Minh Thu

I don't thing mine will make the top 10.

I submitted three.

Alicia Keys - Never Felt This Way
Anastacia feat. Eros Ramazzoti - I belong To You
The Mitch Hansen Band - Flower In The Shade

^^

Mel

Haha yeah I just noticed that a couple of people submitted that song. lol.

Smay

There are so many songs you could say are perfect, it's so hard to decide. Luckily, just incase a moment like this came along, I have a Twilight songs list on iTunes haha!

Annette

I picked Lion by Rebecca St. James.

It sounds like it was made for Twilight. Here's a Twilight video to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hky4ZnuAwRY

Brittany

The second song I picked is more so from Edward's point of view, so I suppose it's more for Midnight Sun. But the first song I picked is definitely from Bella's point of view. :-) One of my favorite artists.

Lisa

I just had to pick All Around Me by Flyleaf. The song just emulates the tension that is felt throughout the book.

Violet

heh. i guess im not the only one whos made a twilight playlist...(:

unknown soldier -- breaking benjamin
ginasfs -- fall out boy
when the day met the night -- panic at the disco.

AMAZING SONGS!

and no offense to any jonas brothers fans, but if one of their songs win, im going to shoot something.

Amy

KEEPING ME ALIVE by THE AFTERS!!!
i love that song, and anything Muse and I like the song Lion too

Kelliann

Don't kill me but I picked "As I Am" by Miley Cyrus.

SIMPLY because it reminded me of how sometimes Bella isn't in the best of moods or even presentible but Edward takes her all in anyway. He loves her as she is! Get it?

Ashley

I picked:
1. Cascada - Everytime we touch
2. The Used - All That I've Got
3. Goo Goo Dolls - Before It's Too Late

3.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybEQzxtiRh4&feature=related

Abbie

What an awsome idea!!I submitted 2 songs that I thought she be it. Don't know if they will be picked but I thought I'd suggest them anyway.

Desiree

I have never heard a more suitable song than "I'm Still Here" by John Rzeznik. EVERY single time I listen to this song I immediately think of Twilight. (Edward more specifically =P)

Lauren

yeah...
There are WAY to many songs
i could pick out for Twilight.
so... :] i'm not going to get started typing in those songs,
because i won't be able to stop.
:]

check out my youtube page if you would like. thanks. :]

and i will be emtemely angry if
a jonas brothers song or miley cyrus song gets picked. :]

Mel

Huh I love Fall Out Boy, but I never pictured GINASFS related to Twilight or Panic either. Huh oh well

Heather cullen

cum on Myley cyrus? what kind of load of crap is that and jonas brothers great way to ruin what could be a great song and represent the book with artist as bad as them *throws up* Now listen to these: Lion- rebecca st james or aqualung- strange and beautiful

Hannah

Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers SHOULD NOT BE PICKED FOR ANYTHING! EVER!

I picked Wonderwall by Oasis. :]

Hannah

Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis would be perfect, too.
Whoa. Unbelievably.

Hannah

I'M BACK!
Stop This Song and My Heart by Paramore are also PERFECT!
It's so hard.
I CAN BE YOUR SUPERMAN! Eminem! LMAO. Jaykay.

Hannah

Kiss Me by New Found Glory
"Kiss me beneath the milky Twilight"
XD

Hannah

Wow. I'm so bored. :DD
I keep thinking of things.

Hannah

Scratch that.
The New Found Glory version kind of sucks.
Sixpence None The Richer version of Kiss Me = so Twilight.

Jessica

gees!!
Kaleb this isthe best idea ever!
I hope at least one of my songs gets picked!!

my 3:
Collide - Howie Day
Clair de Lune - Debussy
Sleeping Sickness - City and Colour

GAH! everyone has such good ideas though:P

Erin

I've only submitted one song because it is pretty much the sweetest love song I've ever heard in my life. Seriously. It will definitely be the song I dance to a my wedding one day :)

Ben Folds - The Luckiest

Kari

Soooo didn't anyone think of Hysteria by Muse??? I mean, I thinks its awesome. Anything by Muse would fit, to me. I LOOOOVE Iris by Goo Goo Dolls. One of my top fave. songs of ALL TIME! Oh and CITY AND COLOUR ROCK! THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME AND KNOWING THME!!! I love sleeping sickness!!! Great Idea Kaleb! I hope some awesome ones make it.(Hopegull they're one of mine.) :)

KatRin

oo all those songs are good! i picked seventeen forever by metro station, the best thing by relient k and best mistake by jamisonparker :]] i dont think any of them will make it to top ten but theyre what i think of when i read twilight!

ohh and whats with all the jonas brothers hate, yo? im not a huge fan or anything (i own 2 of their songs) but i think its fun/nice to rock out to pure bubblegum pop once and while :D

Faith

Wow, what a vamptastic idea! I chose a couple of songs, but I doubt they would make the top ten. Well, a girl can dream...
Good luck to the winners, 'cause I really want to know what the top song is!

Mel D.

So I entered my three, and I think they're pretty sweet (not that I'm biased or anything).

Good luck picking!
:]

Mel D.

Oh, by the way, I picked:

Nothing Like You and I by The Perishers
This is For Keeps by The Spill Canvas
and
Gotta Have You by The Weepies

:]

Monica

1. "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" by Barenaked Ladies
2. "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer
3. "Accidentally In Love" by Counting Crows (?)

Christar

Since everyone else is saying which ones they picked, I gotta repost and say the three I picked.

1. This Is For Keeps ~ Spill Canvas (BEST SONG FOR TWILIGHT!!!!!)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=AYSh1Qf1D1o

2. All Around Me ~ Flyleaf
http://youtube.com/watch?v=e6Q6322m1to

3. I'm Lost Without You ~ Blink 182
http://youtube.com/watch?v=c_XugQ-xYok

I personally think "This Is For Keeps", is the best choice. With "All Around Me" as a close second.

rachel

This could be a lot of fun. Music is so incorporated in all of her books. It's only logical to have a contest of the number one song!!!

guys check out this song by death cab for cutie "I'll follow you into the dark":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfBw0IWwO5U&...

Miara

My three were:
Prelude by Globus
Time Is Running Out by Muse
Into The Night by Nickelback

Lia

Dude those are cool songs, but I chose:
Loves Me Not by t.A.T.u
All About Us by t.A.T.u
Whispers In The Dark by Skillet

Jessie

Hey guys, I just found the (in my opinion) perfect song for New Moon:
Evanescene - My immortal

Desiree

http://www.myspace.com/kattingey

please listen to "Undone"
it's a good song for Twilight
but the song is in Edward's
perspective.

Stacey

okay, i second the "i will follow you into the dark." but i want to put a link to "This is for Keeps" - by the spill canvas, it is flippin amazing!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kqOt6SyRxoQ

Katie

Will the top ten picks be the ones most submitted or will they be selected by you personally? (I would rather it be the second, if you ask me, but no one did) :P

ally_kl

I've never been one for self-promotion but when I read the end of Twilight, this song that I wrote back in 2006 was playing in my head the whole time. It's on my purevolume:

http://www.purevolume.com/themeeffect

Lynn

Wow!!!! I bet I could find TONS of songs that go with Twilight!!But why only 3?? Well I guess that means I'm gonna spending a LONG time finding 3 that I think fit the best. Well wish me luck cause I'm gonna spending hours looking for the PERFECT songs!! Which I will do later today 'cause if I don't got to bed soon then I'll end up staying up all night and parents wouldn't like it if I did THAT again (the first time was also twilight related). Go Twilight!! :) So goodnight (or morning) I'll pick my songs later!!!:)

angelique

It will be nice if we could see the whole list of the submissions, not only the top ten ^^
But anyway, I'm impatient to see chich songs will be picked =)

angelique

By the way, I submitted Bitter Sweet Symphony by the Verve, it's not really Twilight but I think it fits for a end (plus the sentence always is "I can't change" lol differents meanings )

Lisa Cullen

I love The spill Canvas (Lullaby) He is so sweet and caring in this song it is exactly how Edward is, telling Bella he is here to protect her and she is safe he will kiss her then sing her to sleep Wow I think it is so perfect plus The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (Your Guardian Angel) sings about how he will never let her fall and he will stand up for her forever how he will be there for her through it all no matter what!
and finally Blink 182 (I'm Lost Without you) a song about how now they have found each other the worst fear is being apart. Yes all really good for Twilight!!
