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.
Also, as I am one who abhors polls with no prize, I am offering a free BITE ME HAT and MITCH HANSEN BAND CD to a randomly chosen person from those who enter– all straight from TwilightTeez.com!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! the song i choose is my all time favorite!!!!! and my brothers!!!!!!!!!!!
June 28th, 2008 at 12:52 am
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 12:56 am
What a fun, great idea!
June 28th, 2008 at 1:05 am
Great idea!
I can think of a couple of songs that epitomize Twilight, I’ll go check out my playlist right now!
June 28th, 2008 at 1:05 am
That was cool.
June 28th, 2008 at 1:32 am
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 2:11 am
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 ^^
June 28th, 2008 at 3:27 am
Hmmm… I hope that my song is one of the top ten ^_^
June 28th, 2008 at 3:35 am
So this is round one. When is round two? I’m too impatient to wait until it actually arrives to figure it out.
June 28th, 2008 at 6:28 am
This is fun!
I submitted a really obvious one, but I don’t think it’ll get picked.
Good Luck to everyone!
June 28th, 2008 at 7:00 am
ohmygah.kalebiloveyou.
June 28th, 2008 at 7:05 am
Megan-
haha. me too. i didn’t go to sleep last night. it’s like 7:00 in the morning.
June 28th, 2008 at 7:14 am
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 7:44 am
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!
June 28th, 2008 at 8:55 am
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!
June 28th, 2008 at 9:16 am
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……
June 28th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Kaleb, is there a limit as to how many times you may suggest a song? (I have a few that all fit Twilight.)
June 28th, 2008 at 9:38 am
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!
June 28th, 2008 at 9:43 am
I just submitted another one. I think I’m going for the 3rd and last one.
June 28th, 2008 at 10:04 am
My song always reminds me of Bella/Edward’s relationship. If you listen to the words (esp. the chorus), you’ll totally agree.
June 28th, 2008 at 10:05 am
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
June 28th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Oops, i didn’t see the part where you can only do 3. I did five……
June 28th, 2008 at 10:48 am
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!
June 28th, 2008 at 10:57 am
i’ll have to do some serious research!! although i already suggested a song for the epilogue. does that count??
June 28th, 2008 at 11:32 am
I hope my song gets picked
June 28th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
I’m hoping my songs went through! I hope mine gets picked, too!
June 28th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
I just submitted one, I hope it gets picked!! Can’t wait to see the top 10.
June 28th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
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!!
June 28th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Love this idea!! So much fun, off to listen to my Twilight Playlist to find the best one !
June 28th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
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!
June 28th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Oh yay.
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?
June 28th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
[...] Enter Here: http://www.twilightguy.com/2008/06/28/pick-the-song-for-twilight/ [...]
June 28th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
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 
June 28th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
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?
June 28th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
The song i picked matches the book perfectly its called Here in your arms by hello goodbye
June 28th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
I picked the song Calling All Cars by Senses Fail. I fell it fits it perfectly!
June 28th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Lion – Rebecca St James
Perfect song anybody would agree once they listen to it!
June 28th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
This is for Keeps – the spill canvas!! that songs is flippin made for twilight. listen to the words, (totally edward and bella)
June 28th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Won’t let me submit.
But I think “Eat You Alive” by Limp Bizkit would be really good =)
June 28th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
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+an+angel_20064857.html
The Way It Is – Nicole Atkins

June 28th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
I submitted
Say Hi to Your Mom – Blah Blah Blah.
The eniter album Impeccable Blahs is about Vampires.
June 28th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Who Wants to Live Forever – Queen
(it’s beautiful and perfect for them)
June 28th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I like maps by the yeah yeah yeahs
June 28th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
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!!
June 28th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
beautiful love by THE AFTERS
PERFECT for the epilogue
http://youtube.com/watch?v=PLVNmvEqcUs
June 28th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
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…
June 28th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Deeper by Hanson
http://youtube.com/watch?v=PMUkX0Vx_kY
June 28th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
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…
June 28th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
I submitted one, but I’m afraid it’s already been submitted by someone else because it’s so popular and obvious. =O
June 28th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
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 =)
June 28th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
:O I submitted This Is For Keeps too!
I have a feeling a lot of people are going to submit that haha
June 28th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
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_Air
June 28th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
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
^^
June 28th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Haha yeah I just noticed that a couple of people submitted that song. lol.
June 28th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
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!
June 28th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
I just had to pick All Around Me by Flyleaf. The song just emulates the tension that is felt throughout the book.
June 28th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
KEEPING ME ALIVE by THE AFTERS!!!
i love that song, and anything Muse and I like the song Lion too
June 28th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
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?
June 28th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
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)
June 28th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
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. :]
June 28th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Huh I love Fall Out Boy, but I never pictured GINASFS related to Twilight or Panic either. Huh oh well
June 28th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers SHOULD NOT BE PICKED FOR ANYTHING! EVER!
I picked Wonderwall by Oasis. :]
June 28th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis would be perfect, too.
Whoa. Unbelievably.
June 28th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Kiss Me by New Found Glory
“Kiss me beneath the milky Twilight”
XD
June 28th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Wow. I’m so bored.
D
I keep thinking of things.
June 28th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Scratch that.
The New Found Glory version kind of sucks.
Sixpence None The Richer version of Kiss Me = so Twilight.
June 28th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
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.)
June 28th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
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!
June 28th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
So I entered my three, and I think they’re pretty sweet (not that I’m biased or anything).
Good luck picking!
:]
June 28th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
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
:]
June 28th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
1. “Lovers in a Dangerous Time” by Barenaked Ladies
2. “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer
3. “Accidentally In Love” by Counting Crows (?)
June 28th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
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.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
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&feature=related
June 28th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
My three were:
Prelude by Globus
Time Is Running Out by Muse
Into The Night by Nickelback
June 28th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
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
June 28th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Hey guys, I just found the (in my opinion) perfect song for New Moon:
Evanescene – My immortal
June 29th, 2008 at 1:01 am
http://www.myspace.com/kattingey
please listen to “Undone”
it’s a good song for Twilight
but the song is in Edward’s
perspective.
June 29th, 2008 at 1:17 am
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
June 29th, 2008 at 1:56 am
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)
June 29th, 2008 at 2:23 am
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
June 29th, 2008 at 3:07 am
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!!!:)
June 29th, 2008 at 3:13 am
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 =)
June 29th, 2008 at 3:15 am
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 )
June 29th, 2008 at 3:56 am
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!!
June 29th, 2008 at 4:16 am
Oh man you guys seriously miss out – assuming most of you live in the US or Europe.
)
Kate Miller-Heidke’s Space They Cannot Touch hands down! Sums up no only the books but Edward and Bella’s relationship nicely.
(Both her and I are Australian.
June 29th, 2008 at 6:14 am
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUCGwiuV1x8
It’s not rock but I think it could be a good song…So here’s my song pick!
June 29th, 2008 at 6:48 am
Sorry!! I picked more than 3!! I’m sorry I didn’t get to read that… I submitted more than three…. know I feel like I jerk, well, my most important three are:
Vampire Heart – HIM
Who Wants To Live Forever – Queen
Forever Young – Alphaville
June 29th, 2008 at 9:05 am
@angelique (#99): There were over 3,000 songs submitted in the first 24 hours. I don’t think that will all fit on a page, much less the list there will be by the end of the week
In fact, the reason the site was down earlier was because I’m only supposed to get a maximum of 150 emails an hour, and had exceeded it. Yikes! That was upped to 250 so there shouldn’t be any more problems.
Great picks so far everyone! Thanks and if you haven’t already, keep submitting them!
–K
June 29th, 2008 at 9:23 am
darkest love–jump little children (i love the live version the best)
read lyrics here:

June 29th, 2008 at 10:32 am
HOHO, fall for you by secondhand serenade!! its totally edwards view actually, but its really 100% edward’s view! and say it again by marie digby is 100% bella’s view, haha, which one to choose arh? (:
June 29th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Alrightt i just submitted The Spill Canvas song which i really hope gets picked! Every time i hear it it’s like hearing Edward’s thoughts, it’s perfect
ahhh i cant wait to see which one wins!
June 29th, 2008 at 11:19 am
I voted for Bliss by Muse.
There are so many to choose from…argh! Confused!
June 29th, 2008 at 11:21 am
I picked:
Cascada-Eveytime We Touch
DHT-Listen To Your Heart (slow)
DJ Sammy-We’re in Heaven (slow)
I can’t wait to see what songs win!!
June 29th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Okay, I know it’s not really a song, but it’s just the first I can think of when Twilight is mentioned, since it’s used a place in the book. Sorry… -.-
June 29th, 2008 at 11:33 am
i think everyone will agree with me when i say that there are way too many perfect songs for Twilight to just pick one. anyway, i just randomly submitted:
1. This Providence “My Beautiful Rescue”
2. Dashboard Confessional “Screaming Infidelities”
3. Switchfoot “Learning to Breathe”
everyone interprets this book differently, and each person takes something different away as an individual. these were just some random songs i thought of. also good is Red Jumpsuit Apparatus “Your Guardian Angel”…
PS. Twilight Fans are the best people in the world!!!
June 29th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
omg i swear if anyone actually looks at the song and the lyrics it fits this book perfectly word for word!!

-Invincible by Muse
-Love will come trought by Travis

Monster lyrics
His little whispers.
Love Me. Love Me.
That’s all I ask for.
Love Me. Love Me.
He battered his tiny fists to feel something.
Wondered what it’s like to touch and feel something.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the window…
That night he caged her.
Bruised and broke her.
He struggled closer.
Then he stole her.
Violet wrists and then her ankles.
Silent Pain.
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the windows.
I will.
Hear their voices.
I’m a glass child.
I am Hannah’s regrets.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down.
Murder ears with pillow lace.
There’s bath tubs.
Full of glow flies.
Bathe in kerosene.
Their words tattoed in his veins.
then there is this one:
Blackout by muse
don’t kid yourself
and don’t fool yourself
this love’s too good to last
and i’m too old to dream
don’t grow up too fast
and don’t embrace the past
this life’s too good to last
and i’m too young to care
don’t kid yourself
and don’t fool yourself
this life could be the last
and we’re too young to see
or this one, which i have a feeling will be popular:
Animal I Have Become lyrics
I can’t escape this hell
So many times i’ve tried
But i’m still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)
I can’t escape myself
(I can’t escape myself)
So many times i’ve lied
(So many times i’ve lied)
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can’t escape this hell
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)
i hope they will be picked!
June 29th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
I submitted mines..I hope mines make it up to the top ten..
Song: Angels
By: Within Temptation
June 29th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Well I already know one song that will be in the top ten…
This Is For Keeps-Spill Canvas
It is DEFINATELY a perfect choice. But I have no idea about the other nine. This will be very exciting.
Great idea Kaleb!
It doesn’t suprise me that you reached the maximum emails in an hour!!
Keep up the amazing work!
June 29th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
this is such a vamptastic idea!!!
i made twilight, new moon, and eclipse playlists on my ipdo (the songs r the 1s from stephenie meyer’s website) but the 1s i submitted r just songs i love tht arent from the website but i still think they r good twilight songs and i relly hope they make the top ten!!! oh and good luck to all!!!
June 29th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
my favorite is This is for Keeps by The Spill Canvas- the lyrics are so perfect
hopefully it gets top 10 at least
June 29th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
i submitted I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith…it always reminds me of how Edward may feel when he’s w/ Bella.
June 29th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
My three?
Collide-Howie Day
Crazy For This Girl-Evan and Jaron
Moment-Aiden
I hope they get picked!
June 29th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
I just started reading Twilight, too… I finished it in 2 days =)
My pick is Thunder – Boys Like Girls because the lyrics are so good(this is just a small part):
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you’re unlike any other?
You’ll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don’t wanna ever love another
You’ll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Yeah I’m walking on a tightrope
I’m wrapped up in vines
I think we’ll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain
June 29th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
I actually put “Beautiful Mess” by Jason Mraz as my first choice.
You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man then lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy, humble but you’re greedy
And based on your body language and shoddy cursive I’ve been reading…
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jasonmraz/abeautifulmess.html
June 29th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Well since w’re now all sharing what we chose, mine was:
“Crashed” by Daughtry.
Listen to it. It fits SOOO well!
June 29th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I had a bunch of songs that I are very Twilight-ish. But, I guess I based my picks on the lyrics and the music. Twilight seems like a very ROCK book. hehe.
My picks:
1. “Battle of One” by 30 Seconds to Mars
2. “Rangers” by A Fine Frenzy (not a Rock song, but eh)
3. “Drive There Now” by The Almost
June 29th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Oops! I had a bunch of songs that I THINK are very Twilight-ish. LOL
June 29th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
“Crashed” by Daughtry:
I was moving at the speed of sound.
Head spinning, couldn’t find my way around, and
I didn’t know that I was going down.
Yeah, Yeah…
Where I’ve been well it’s all a blur.
What I was looking for, I’m not sure.
Too late and didn’t see it coming.
Yeah, Yeah…
Chorus:
Then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could’ve been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can’t walk away.
Somehow, I couldn’t stop myself.
I just wanted to know how it felt.
Too strong, I couldn’t hold on.
Yeah, Yeah…
Now I’m just trying to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened.
Where we’re heading, there’s just no knowing
Yeah, Yeah…
Chorus
From your face, your eyes
Are burning to me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.
Oh, just what I need.
Chorus
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can’t walk away.
June 29th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
my picks are waaay awesome
starting with taking back sunday’s make damn sure cause it’s just perfect for it!! u know it xD
then Angels and Airwaves’ Breathe cause it’s a perfect love song and and it fits perrrrfectly!! please try to check out those lyrics!
June 29th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Has anyone suggested anything from the Mitch Hanson Band yet?!
Seeing as those songs are actually BASED on Twilight. it only seems reasonable to suggest some:P
June 29th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
haha i’m sure about a gajillion people already picked it, but “time is running out” by muse is just perfect.
like…”the scientist” by coldplay and “lullabye” by billy joel.
June 29th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Hayley Westenra – Dark Waltz
June 29th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
haha I know the songs I picked aren’t going to be the most popular, on account I know some pretty random music that people don’t list to, but Oh well.
June 29th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
i hope mine get picked!
they are:
Collide – Howie Day
Seventeen Forever – Metro Station
Fall for You – Secondhand Serenade
June 29th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
How about Fear by Sarah McLachlan.
Youtube it. It fits perfectly! Seriously!
June 29th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
I chose to enter:
1) Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls
2) This is for Keeps by The Spill Canvas
3)Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis
Peronally I think the song ‘This is for Keeps’ by The Spill Canvas is the best representation of Twilight. It sounds like it was written for the book. It’s scary how good that song is, and I hope it will be a popular choice.
June 29th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Whoa, I submitted All Downhill From Here by Amy Kuney. It’s a fairly recent song, but it just sort of ends Twilight but gives you the gist of the sequels; hence the title: “All Downhill From Here.” It’s an amazing song, and I hope it makes it!
June 29th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
I beg to differ; i’d be totally pleased if Jonas Brothers got picked
idk about their new songs
but Please Be Mine by Nicholas Jonas is amazing! now shove that down your narrow-minded asses (which in your case are equivalent to brains)
listen to it! it’s the shit! :]]
June 29th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
OMG!! the song i picked is my all time favorite!! and my best friends too!!!
i entered:
Lion – Rebecca St James
June 29th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I thought the song “This is For Keeps” by The Spill Canvas covered it pretty well. A few things strayed from the type of vampire Stephenie describes, but the desire for blood, eternity, and love is all there. Great Song. Hope it wins.
June 29th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
I chose Meg and Dia’s ‘Monster’
When I heard that song i was like…this was made for twilight. The lyics go perfectly with for the entire series.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlEiNmVX82Y
June 30th, 2008 at 12:05 am
[...] Don’t forget to keep suggesting songs if you haven’t already! The nominations end this weekend and voting begins the same day! Just [...]
June 30th, 2008 at 12:33 am
Woot! I am confident that my song will do well
I submitted “Human” by Jon McLaughlin.
June 30th, 2008 at 6:46 am
I think mine represents New Moon more so than Twilight…
June 30th, 2008 at 7:27 am
I have T H E perfect song for New Moon. I think you guys would agree at least a little bit.
Far Away – Nickelback
I love that song and I think it totally makes sence for New Moon. I wish he was on that book already. (:
-Alexa
June 30th, 2008 at 7:30 am
I changed my mind. That song is perfect for the whole series. (:
June 30th, 2008 at 9:46 am
I think Lullaby by The Spill Canvas fits very well.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:35 am
I submitted Lion by Rebecca St. James
June 30th, 2008 at 10:49 am
The song I picked is No Fear by The Rasmus. It pertains to Bella if she were to pick the vampire way =)
Lyrics: http://artists.letssingit.com/rasmus-lyrics-no-fear-zvmg11b
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuC6a15QPSI
June 30th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Hero/Heroine and Seventeen Forever are great songs for Twilight too!!
June 30th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Wow This is a brilliant idea! i already did my 3 and just like everbody else i totally think these 3 songs work…only 1 has been mentioned before so i hope you pick mine!
thanks for the gud posts
June 30th, 2008 at 11:49 am
OOohh, some great songs here.
We can’t decide on the top song to suggest. Lots to choose from!
We have a Twilighters Anonymous compilations here:
http://twilightersanonymous.com/index.php?option=com_mojo&cat=7
Ill repost once we decide!
June 30th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I’m a bit confused. The winning song will the one that has the most “votes” or submissions? Aren’t you choosing based on your own opinion Kaleb? I submitted a song I found on YouTube and the first time I heard it I immediately thought of the Edward/Bella love story. Should I post the youtube link here?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX0y93bIEdY
(hope that was ok. don’t want to break any rules.)
(well, I DO want to break rules, but I don’t wish to upset you, Kaleb, with rulebreaking at this time.)
June 30th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Here’s one of the songs I submitted. I think it could be the way Edward thinks of himself sometimes:
Wanting
Watching
Debating on which way to run to
Haunted by voices
Craving someone to run to
I haven’t lost myself in a long time
I never tried to care when I wanted to
I just wanna be part of something
I just wanna be real like you
Sometimes I feel like a monster
And times I feel like a saint
I’m on my knees
You’re my favorite disease
Silent warnings
Tell me that I’ve let things come undone
Show me
Teach me the way to heaven
‘Cause no other way can
I haven’t lost myself in a long time
I never tried to care when I wanted to
I just wanted to be part of something
I just wanted to be real like you
Sometimes I feel like a monster
And times I feel like a saint
I’m on my knees
You’re my favorite disease
Closer
Closer
Closer to you
I need to be closer now
Closure yet
Closer to you
Every step I take
Sometimes I feel like a monster
And times I feel like a saint
I’m on my knees
You’re my favorite disease
And I love to way you kill me
Love the way you heal me
Sometimes I feel like a monster
And times I feel like a saint
I’m on my knees
You’re my favorite disease
And I love to way you kill me
Love the way you heal me
I love the way you kill me
I love the way you heal me
I love the way you kill me
I love the way you heal me
I love the way you kill me
I love the way you heal me
I love the way you kill me
I love the way you heal me
June 30th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Oh, yeah- it’s “Favorite Disease” by Thousand Foot Krutch.
June 30th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
I picked:
Morningside-Sara Bareilles
the first line is PERFECT! love the music!!!
Time Is Running Out-Muse…yeah yeah yeah…I know everyone picked that song…couldn’t resist
Twilight-Vanessa Carlton…lyrics and mood are perfect!!!
June 30th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
OME… i think that this is a great idea Kaleb. the songs the are picked are really great and i think they should be picked because they really explain twilight…
Thunder- Boys Like Girls
Shadow of the Day- Linkin Park
The Diary of Jane (acoustic)- Breaking Benjamin
http://youtube.com/watch?v=mXuxRWXisUQ
June 30th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
THIS IS FOR KEEPS – THE SPILL CANVAS!
There is NO better choice.
“Eternity will never be enough for me…eternally we’ll live our infallible love…”
June 30th, 2008 at 5:07 pm

June 30th, 2008 at 6:22 pm

June 30th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
I have over 2,000 songs to look through and I am excited! There are so many possibilities.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Your Guardian Angel-Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Too Far Gone- All American Rejects
Rainy Monday- Shiny Toy Guns
Different parts of the songs reminded me of dufferent characters and certain parts of the book.
June 30th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
I chose
1. all around me – flyleaf
2.hero/heroine – boys like girls
3. lion – rebecca st. james
all these songs have lyrics that match twilight perfectly although hero/heroine is more for midnight sun
July 1st, 2008 at 2:38 am
Okay, so I skimmed through really quickly, but WHY IS NO ONE MENTIONING RELIENT K????
Missy Higgins I can understand (On A Clear Night, just the whole CD is amazing – BUY IT PEOPLE) ’cause she’s Australian, but come on! The Best Thing, I Need You, and Must Have Done Something Right by Relient k… Though I picked another instead of the last one – Breathe by Angels & Airwaves… though I haven’t seen anyone pick A & A either… jeez, I’m alone here!
July 1st, 2008 at 3:20 am
THE SPILL CANVAS – THIS IS FOR KEEPS
LISTEN TO IT
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR TWILIGHT
plus its an awsomeeeeeee
July 1st, 2008 at 4:21 am
I have a bunch of awesome New Moon songs, but oh well. Good luck, guys.
July 1st, 2008 at 4:24 am
Wow, guys, I know this has nothing to do with Twilight (sort of), but don’t you think Viva la Vida by Coldplay is a perfect song for The Host?
July 1st, 2008 at 5:38 am
Não sei que música escolher!!
Este livro é tão… PERFEITO!!
Não há uma música que o defina !
Mas vou tentar encontrar uma.
^^*
July 1st, 2008 at 5:41 am
OOOPS!
Almost forgot.
I wrote the comment in portuguese, my mistake.
I was saying that this book is so PERFECT!!
I don’t know if I can choose one song that defines it.
I’m searching for some songs and I won’t give up!
XOXO, Rita Junot (PORTUGAL)
^^*
July 1st, 2008 at 6:10 am
Well, imagine that there is not one song that truly makes justice to the book (by the lyrics) we could choose instrumental songs
^^*
July 1st, 2008 at 9:29 am
Opening stanza for When You Say You Love Me, by Josh Groban.
————
Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I’m falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can’t move.
At times I can hardly breathe.
———–
I feel that this song best represents the first book Twilight because the book is really about the love story between Edward and Bella.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:21 am
You kids are cute picking the Jonas Brother’s and Miley Cyrus but let’s be serious… This book is obsession, lust, mystery and mayhem and the music needs to be deep, dark and far away from the top 20. I mean “Bleeding Love”?? There is no chance in forks that a pop song will be picked. If it’s not a Muse or Linkin Park song then it may certainly be something that Hasn’t hit the mainstream (If Alex lives up to her name!) and if it HAS to be maintream, Flyleaf gets my vote.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:17 pm
I picked these 3:
Iris-goo goo dolls
http://youtube.com/watch?v=SsK90GWBVLY
Twilight- vanessa carlton
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gbhb5MS7RZM (yeaa i know lots of people picked it..but its an awesome song!!)
andd..
monsters-matchbox romance
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hwsO44O5_KY
i don’t know i just think it fits how edward feels… or actually like how they are vampires.. here is a part of the song:
Oh, what’s come between you and me?
Look right through me
I’ll let it go
I can’t help this feeling anymore
I won’t go anywhere
Maybe you’ll see me
[ohhhhhhhhhh yeah]
We are
We are the shaken
We are the monsters
Underneath your bed
Yeah
Believe what you read
We are
We are mistaken
We are the voices
Inside your head
Yeah
Believe what you see
July 1st, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Emily (#164)- the problem with Relient K is most of their songs are too happy and they don’t have any dark side to it, except for I Need You, which is a song about him needing God (they are a Christian band), so that wouldn’t exactly work (“When my hopes seem to dangle
somewhere just beyond my reach,
You say You’ve heard my prayers
and read my words there on the beach.”).
Allaboutthemusic (#172)- That’d be cool if a song by Flyleaf was up there. I’ve been listening to them ever since they were just some Christian band from Texas whom no one had heard about.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I think most people are only picking songs that reflect twilight well, but not thinking about THE END CREDITS which is what this song would be used for.
Like, Time is Running out by Muse is an amazing song. And we all know Stephenie loves Muse. But it isnt a “credits” kind of song. You know?
Anyway that’s just my opinion..
July 1st, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Phil Collins- Sussudio
is the most dazzling song for Twilight.
~Twats!! ftw~~~
July 1st, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I am all for secondhand serenade-”vulnerable”. i love it. oh and if you’ve read new moon check out the song “broken” by secondhand as well. amazing. it even has a line that says “in the light your face it glows like a thousand diamonds.” haha meant to be
July 1st, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Iris by the Goo goo dolls is perfect for Edward and Bella
July 1st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Meg & Dia’s “Monster” would be a perfect choice i think. The lyrics and just the whole slightly angsty mood of the song give you the chills. Perfect vampire love song.
July 1st, 2008 at 7:33 pm
okay so there’s a song i think works great for New Moon, from Edward’s perspective, when he decides to leave Bella.
Matchbook Romance: Tiger Lily
we drive tonight,
and you are by my side.
we’re talking about our lives,
like we’ve known each other forever.
the time flies by,
with the sound of your voice.
it’s close to paradise,
with the end surely near.
and if i could only stop the car
and hold onto you,
and never let go (and never let go)
i’ll never let go (i’ll never let go)
as we round the corner
to your house
you turned to me and said,
“i’ll be going through withdrawal of you
for this one night we have spent.”
and, i want to speak these words
but i guess i’ll just bite my tongue,
and accept “someday, somehow”
as the words that we’ll hang from.
and i (i..), i don’t want to speak these words.
’cause i (’cause i..), i don’t want to make things any worse.
and i (i..), i don’t want to speak these words.
’cause i, i don’t want to make things any worse.
why does tonight, have to end?
why don’t we hit restart,
and pause it at our favorite parts.
we’ll skip the goodbyes.
if i had it my way,
i’d turn the car around and runaway,
just you and i.
and i (i..), i don’t want to speak these words.
’cause i (’cause i..), i don’t want to make things any worse. (any worse)
and i (i..), i don’t want to speak these words
’cause i, i don’t want to make things
and i, i don’t want to make things any worse
and this next song is perfect for Eclipse, from Bella’s perspective (though kinda Edward’s too), when the two are discussing doing the “dirty deed”…if you know what i mean….
Secondhand Serenade: Vulnerable
Share with me the blankets that you’re wrapped in
’cause it’s cold outside
its cold outside.
Share with me the secrets that you’ve kept in
’cause It’s cold inside
its cold inside.
And your slowly shaking finger tips show
that your scared like me so
lets pretend we’re alone.
And I know you may be scared
and I know we’re unprepared but I don’t care.
Tell me, tell me what makes you think that you are invincible.
I can see it in your eyes that you’re so sure.
Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one that’s vulnerable.
Impossible.
I was born to tell you I love you
isn’t that a song already?
I get B in originality.
And its true, I can’t go on without you.
Your smile makes me see clearer
if you could only see in the mirror what I see.
And your slowly shaking finger tips show
that your scared like me so
lets pretend we’re alone.
And I know you may be scared
and I know we’re unprepared but I don’t care.
Tell me, tell me what makes you think that you are invincible.
I can see it in your eyes that you’re so sure.
Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one that’s vulnerable.
Impossible.
Slow down girl, you’re not going anywhere.
Just wait around and see
maybe I’m much more.
You never know what lies ahead.
I promise I can be anyone
I can be anything.
Just because you were hurt
doesn’t mean you shouldn’t believe I can be anyone, anything.
I promise I can be what you need.
Tell me, tell me what makes you think that you are invincible.
I can see it in your eyes that you’re so sure.
Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one that’s vulnerable.
Impossible.
sigh…..keep up the great work for song suggestions, everybody!
July 1st, 2008 at 8:47 pm
my choice:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1m9ljPydSY
July 1st, 2008 at 10:39 pm
I put Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls :]
Maybe it’s just me haha
You guys have some good song ideas though! =)
July 1st, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Well, I’m old sorta . . . 34. So, I’m a TwilightMom, of sorts. My pick is from my teen years – “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel.
July 2nd, 2008 at 9:58 am
I chose “Heaven Forbid” by the Fray, but some of you guys have much better suggestions.
My favorite suggestions (from the comments so far):
The Perishers – Nothing like you and I
The Afters – Beautiful Love
July 2nd, 2008 at 10:03 am
Also! I really like this song (from Bella’s POV)
Breathe Me- Sia
I didn’t submit it though, as I don’t think it is right for the end credits- but it could probably go somewhere else.
July 2nd, 2008 at 2:15 pm
I like mine…obviously that would be why I submitted it…
“I’ll follow you into the dark” that’t just what Twilight is about [:

I am so stoked for Breaking Dawn! I’m literally counting the hours! But the song I picked is called Lullaby, the the Spill Canvas. You guys should really listen to it! It’s absolutely perfect, every single word!

That was really hard to choose! After a while I came up with this:
1. Long Time Coming by Oliver James
2. You’re My Angel by Switchfoot
3. Every Time We Touch(slow version) by Cascada
At least I’m not the only one who chose number 3! It’s comforting to know that I’m not crazy!!!
Another song I really like but didn’t submit is First Time by Lifehouse

1. Jesus Christ by Brand New (More fitting for New Moon I suppose- In Edwards Perspective)
2. As Lovers Go by Dashboard Confessional. (A really great song thats a story, except in Edward and Bella’s case the rolls are reversed)
3. Thick as Thieves by Dashboad Confessional. (This is definitely Bella Talking to Edward.)
” If there’s a crime we’ll keep it secret
For there’s only trace amounts left in your blood
You may be a sinner
But you may be justified” <–Little snipit, its chock full of relivant lines, as are the rest.
Really just check out some of the lyrics, they are all really beautifull, especially Jesus Christ. I know I have some investigating to do myself.

Personally, I think Twilight by Vanessa Carlton makes the most sense in relation to the novel. It reminds me of how everything about Bella changed from beginning to end:
“I will never see the sky the same way,
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday,
And I will never cease to fly if held down,
And I will always reach too high ’cause I’ve seen twilight…”
Read all of the lyrics at LetsSingIt.com to understand precisely what I’m talking about.
However, I’m going to have to agree with others on Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, if the song I chose is not top ten. It gives the gist of Bella and Edward’s relationship.

….but isn’t the song supposed to be about the book as a whole? Hmmm, indeed it is. Haha.

those songs are great! the song ‘fall to pieces’ by avril lavigne reminds me of chapter 27 of eclipse. & ‘keep holding on’ reminds me of new moon. Im not going to say one for twilight, because u guys said all of them (:

wouldnt the piano solo from Corpse Bride be a lovely choice for bella’s song?
July 5th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I picked Seventeen Forever and Hero/Heroine for the top ten.

I wanted to submit Twilight by Vanessa Carlton, but I did’nt make it in time.
Colors by Crossfade would be the best song for new moon, though.

how about stop and stare by one republic?
July 9th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
what about “comatose” or “whispers in the dark” by skillet?..
i relle think those songs would be good for twilight

I run a music/tv website and I love things like this so thanks for doing it. I did a twilight vid a while back so it isn’t that great but I have gotten some great feedback on it and I used “Uninvited” by Alanis Morrisette, I am not a huge fan of her new stuff but if you think about the lyrics and the enchanting dissonance of the chords in the song it seems to link straight to the mood of the book, you can watch it here, feel free to comment it, I appreciate feedback. I am working on a new vid now to “All Around Me” so I chose that in the vote, but “Uninvited” is a great one!

Two great songs for Twilight are “Running Away” by Midnight Hour, and “Your Guardian Angel” by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

The song “Vampire” by The Last Hour would be kick ass in the movie! Hopefully we will be hearing it in New Moon =)

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But
he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous
websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!
