Pick The Song For Eclipse [Round 2]

March 16th, 2009 at 7:46 pm by Kaleb Nation

Thanks everyone for the multiple thousands of songs submitted to help me Pick The Song For Eclipse! I assure you, I had a wonderful time digging through all the suggestions, especially when many pranksters suggested songs like There’s A Tear In My Beer by Hank Williams Jr. or Millionär by Die Prinzen (I have a feeling I know who sent THAT one in…) :D

Anyhow, I added up the top requested songs, and have put them in the voting box below. Please only vote a maximum of 3 times (I know, sometimes it’s hard to pick just one!). There are a few surprises amongst this list, though thankfully no one got too outlandish:

You can talk about what songs you’re voting for in the comments. That reminds me. Like with Round 1, I’m also giving away a prize to someone who comments here: one custom-made T-shirt from TwilightTShirts.com (you’ll even get to pick the design)! Good luck!

    Well I really liked "hold you in my arms" by Ray LaMontagne and actually it fits with the type of music Robert Pattinson likes to sing. It's an older song but it is great.
  • SammieLynn
    for me, there was no conflict on which to vote for. I love paramore, and i think that "Pressure" really is sort of about what bella is going through with having to choose between Edward and Jacob.
  • Skeeter
    I voted for Paramore, but The best song for Eclipse is totally "Another Heart Calls" by All American Rejects
  • edwardlover12
    I voted for secondhand seranade b/c i just think the song fits perfectly!!! And i am a huge fan of them :)
  • Megan
    I voted for Lifehouse because I love them and the song!
  • Allison
    Fall For You has the exact passion that is represented in every one of Edward's actions. I also voted for Pressure by Paramore because...it's Paramore.
  • Stephanie
    I love the song Fall For You by Second Hand Serenade
  • Katherine M.
    Pressure by paramore is the perfect song! thinking of you is also great!
  • Megan
    It bothers me that he got the name of Falling Away With You wrong... *twitch*
  • Kaitlyn
    I don't know if this is the perfect song for the whole book, but AT LEAST for the chapter "Monster" the perfect song is "Faking My Own Suicide" by Relient K. :D
  • Kaitlyn
    Thinking of You by Katy Perry is PERFECT! (might've been better for New Moon, but still..)
  • R.
    Thinking Of You really doesn't fit. In that song she's already lost the person she's talking to and wishes he'd come back. Bella never let Edward go and never actually dated Jacob. And when she was hanging out with Jacob, she really enjoyed that; she wasn't thinking of Edward the whole time, or deciding between them would have been easy!
  • Lori..
    I think it needs to be either Paramore or Muse,though I can't pick which one.
  • Lela
    it was hard to pick... but i think the katy perry song works the best
  • Jen
    Because I am a hermit, I don't know any of the songs! :(
  • Tash
    Whats Earth to Bella like?
  • Tash
    I totally agree with the people who are saying we are voting for ECLIPSE! not New moon, thinking of you goes perfectly with new moon but NOT with eclipse! I always think of fall for you at the end of new moon when edward proposes... im curious why do people think it fits for eclipse? Nobody falls for any one again as far as i can tell...
    I'm voting vindicated i think it captures edwards perspective perfectly ( thinking he is selfish for changing bella) but not only that, a lot of the characters struggle with thinking that they are not 'worthy' and this song feels like realizing that yes 'I am flawed but i am cleaning up so well' and a song of hope for the future it also ties in the impending wedding well.
    Falling a way with you is Perfect for jake at the end, love it.
    But why fall for you?
    and please not thinking of you! its not right for eclipse at all!
  • Liz
    Collide --- Howie Day...

    submitted it in the first round. It's just a beautiful song, which belongs with a beautiful book: Eclipse
  • Liz
    Collide --- Howie Day...

    submitted it in the first round. It's just a beautiful song, which belongs with a beautiful book: Eclipse
  • Becky
    I submitted my 3!
    Although it was hard to pick them, I feel like a let the other songs down and these comments are very pursuasive... *sigh*
  • Sarah
    I'm a little bummed my song didn't make it to the lightening round (Total Eclipse of the Heart, which was based off of Wuthering Heights, which Eclipse was based off of... how perfect is that? It even has ECLIPSE in the song!)

    But, alas, voting was still so HARD! All the songs picked were so good! :D

    I think they're all great :)
  • Kayp
    heres my vote :D
  • Lola
    Me thinks everyone should pick VINDICATED!!!!!!!!
  • Danielle R
    I voted for both Thinking of You and Fall for YOu cause i love both those songs and i think thye both fit the book perfectly in different ways!!!!

    I hope i win a shirt!
  • Ptttsshh. As if I'll tell which song I voted for ;) It wouldn't be fair to all the other songz.
  • Oh, and also,
    Will anyone tell me what song got the most votes for Round One?? :)
  • The songs are great,
    and the comments are funny to read :)
    I LOVE ECLIPSE :) Really, I lvoe all of the Twilight books. It's hard to pick just ONE song from the list :)
  • Stephanie
    OMG! All the songs I love for this book are on the list! How will I choose???
  • luisa=D
    i voted 4 fall for you by secondhand serenade

    it fits perfectly
  • luisa=D
    i voted for fall for you

    i just fits soo perfectly!
  • DreamingEternal
    okay. I love "thinking of you" by Katy Perry -- but only as a New Moon song. It doesn't really fit for Eclipse.

    I voted for "Fall for You". It's sucha sweet and touching song and Eclipse was such a sweet and touching book (my favorite in the series). Edward and Bella are sort of falling in love with each other all over again and learning to trust each other after Edward comes back from leaving her. Now that they know they can't live without each other, many of their previous reservations and misgivings are gone.
  • Renee
    I <3 voting for songs. Secondhand Serenade!

    I don't have a twilight tee yet :( It'd be cool to own one.
  • Roxanne
    Yeah CONTEST!! Twilight shirts are so cool! I already have a twilight logo one, but I could have another one!:)
  • Delacy
    I voted for:
    Pressure-To me, it fits Bella, Edward, and Jacob
    Broken-Fits Jacob
    All Over You-Fits Jacob

    To me, Thinking of You fits New Moon a lot better than Eclipse, but just my two cents. :)
  • Morgan
    I voted for Thinking of You and Fall for You. They're both SO
    perfect!!! Thinking of You
    especially, because of the whole love triangle thing!!!!!
  • Mop Top
    KATY PERRY ALL THE WAY!!!!
    IT'S SOOOOO PERFECT!!!

    can't wait for the 21st by the way!
  • Ciera
    O jeez, this was a hard choice. You have to love the music gods Muse and Paramore. But there were some other top contenders here as well!
  • Stephanie
    One word: Paramore! I LOVE them! And that song is PERFECT for bellas perspective! (: (:
  • Amalia
    I have never heard a lot of these songs, but now I just bought them of iTunes:) It was so hard choosing one, but I did it:D
  • Wow. These are all very good songs to choose from! I was having a hard time choosing between Muse, and Secondhand Serenade...
    I ended up choosing Secondhand Serenade, Fall For You really fits the book. :)
  • Suzie
    Earth to Bella fits best,
  • Stella
    I voted for Collide...just because I really love that song!!!
  • Emilie
    Of course i am voting for
    ' Fall For You' by SecondHand Serenade it is the most amazing song ever!!!

    love itt <3
  • Erin
    I chose Collide as my first choice, I think it just shows how Bella was feeling with her relationships between Jacob and Edward.

    I then voted for Vindicated because Bella finally realises she loves Jacob too.

    And I was going to vote Pressure for the my last one, but even though I love Paramore, this just reminded me more of New Moon than Eclipse.
  • MUSE.
  • Alicia
    When I left comments earlier, I had just read a comment that said that Thinking of You wouldn't b there choice 4 Eclipse, but it would b 4 New Moon. So um... I left a comment about what song I would choose 4 New Moon. I know. I feel very stupid. But my choice 4 Eclipse would have 2 b Collide. I think it would b a really good choice 4 Eclipse!
  • Gabbie
    Woo! Secondhand Seranade!!!!!!

    Kaleb pleeeeease give me a T-shirt?
    (Yeah I know this is not the most dignified & mature post but I've just gotten through a 24 hour day & I'm exhausted...)
    Pick me pleeeease???
  • idreamofedward
    Vindicated is perfect for Eclipse! But it's so hard to choose!
  • Lynnae
    My choices were Muse, Lifehouse, and The Spill Canvas.

    I have to say, though, I'm still very disappointed that no one nominated "Jessie's Girl". It's PERFECT! And it even includes "moot point". :)
  • Emily Shewcraft
    Awesome! I was really hoping that Paramore would make the second round ... and it did! =D

    Too bad Imogen Heap didn't though...
    *sadness*


    So yeah. I voted for Pressure by Paramore. Great song. (And that was one I suggested for the first round. =] Yay!)


    Oh, and by the way...

    *insert comment here*
    There. I'm entered.
  • Nancy
    :)
    I liked Thinking Of You by Katy Perry and Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional... but I really think they fit 'New Moon' rather than Eclipse more.


    It's cool though :) great job summing up the top 10 songs!
  • fall for u all the way!!!!! the song is PERFECT for eclipse!! i just started commenting on this hilarious website yeterday b/c of the prize, but i luv commenting and seeing wut other people think.... anyways, FALL FOR U!!!!!! (i luv this site about as much as twilight!!! its amazing!!!!!!!) :)
  • MsKittyCullen
    Ugh. This sucks.
    I didnt like any of the songs.
    So I just went for Fall For You.

    Yea, im in a bad mood. I cant comment much on anything today :(
  • Madeleine
    I voted for:
    1) Thinking of You. One of the first times I heard the song, I thought it would be perfect for Twilight.
    2) Falling Away From You--the lyrics fit
    3) Broken--I was surprised how well I could associate this with the series.

    But yeah, there are many of these songs I could connect to the series as a whole, but not specifically Eclipse.
  • Heather Dawn
    Loved MOST of the songs. Hadn't heard a lot of them, since most of my time lately has been spend reading :) I chose to go with Katy Perry, because the words just fit the most, out of all of them. Even though it's not my favorite song, it fits this portion of the story the best. Thanks Kaleb!
  • Gianna
    as much as i love thinking of you,muse,and fall for you i chose pressure because a)i love that song b)i love paramore and c)its PERFECT for Eclipse!!!i never thought about it b4 but it is lol!!
  • Mindy
    I heard the Katy Perry song after I had already submitted my choices. It is just perfect!
  • kim
    i voted 3 times! once for collide by howie day and twice for fall for you by second hand serenade. that song goes great with the book....google the lyrics! it's almost as if it was written for this book!
  • gaia
    I think that brpken of the lifehouse is the best song for this book ...that song is beautiful
  • Nela
    That was a really hard decision! I think a lot of those songs would have been better for New Moon. But I made the choice to go with Pressure - because Paramore is my favorite!! - Collide and All Over You! : )
  • Amanda
    Earth To Bella all the way! I think it is perfect for this book.
  • VT
    Broken or Pressure are my 2 picks.
  • Traci
    dashboard confessional. definitely.
  • Katy0
    Good picks, I haven't decided what to vote for yet.
  • Jenna
    ugh I do not like Katy Perry's voice..

    Definitely "Fall for You"!
  • Sasha
    I loved that paramore song, for some reason I had never heard it. can't wait to see which one wins! <3
  • Kat
    and yes thinking of you and the others are more new-moon kind of songs..!
    collide vindicated and fall for you..go brilliantly with eclipse.!
  • Kat
    well..!!
    iLOVE fall for you and collide..they just seem to be PERFECT..!!.
    and then Vindicated is awesome..!!
    THat is my three votes.!!
  • Ashley
    i love the choices! collide was a really great one, and pressure... still deciding on my third choice, i'm thinking Muse though. can't wait til you start on Breaking Dawn!!!!!
  • I chose Thinking of You by Katy Perry. I loved the original music video, but the new one with the kid from Kyle XY is okay too. Both of them made me cry. Haha.

    I'm craving bacon. Yummmy. But I'm at school and should be paying attention to my criminal justice class, so yeahh...
  • Theo
    Vindicated all the way baby!!!!
    The lyrics are PERFECT for Eclipse.
    :)
  • I voted for Broken by Lifehouse. The lyrics are absolutely perfect for the last few chapters of Eclipse.

    I also voted for Collide, because that song always fits with the Twilight series. :)
  • Ashley A.B.
    I voted for Vindicated :)
  • Johanna
    For me, 'Thinking of You' is more New Moon...
    'Falling away from You' is the best, but also 'Vindicated' :)
  • Karlee
    Gah! You guys got me! Pressure is wayyy better for Eclipse.
    I revoted.
    Thinking of You is more New Moon.
  • Karlee
    'Thinking of You' got my vote. I think it would have also fit New Moon very well though.

    4 more days till the DVD of Twilight!! Anyone else scream when the commercial comes on???

    Woot T-Shirts! Kaleb I love you.
  • Sammy
    hey everyone ! who wants to win a t-shirt? Hmmm . . . ME :)

    <3
  • Dryden
    Tryna win a t-shirt. :)
  • Kristina
    I love hearing the "theme song" for the books. I usually end up buying them on itunes, if I don't already have it :)

    *comment*
  • Jen
    Comment :D
  • Becky
    While I like a lot of them, Broken and Collide are actually my 2 favorites. :)
  • Kristin
    I chose thinking of you and vindicated!
  • ruthie
    i haven't heard the one by katy perry..but omg..the others, so hard to pick from. ended up voting for 'fall for you' though. i just love secondhand serenade.
  • Brogan
    I chose 2. I chose Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade... It reminds me of Jacob more than Edward though.... Especially the line "You always thought that I was stronger
    I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start." Because Jacob thinks that with Bella making the decision to become a vampire means that his plan failed.

    I also chose Vindicated.

    I don't actually think that "Thinking of You" by Katy Perry fits... I LOVE the song though, but when Bella kisses Edward, she's NEVER thinking about Jacob. She sort of just stops thinking altogether. So yeah... That's my opinion.
  • YetAnotherTwilightFan
    This was my first time voting in one of these! That was hard but I did it! I voted!!! :)
  • Sam aka "nessiecullen"
    Despite the reaction to my vote from round 1 on the chat, I STILL believe milkshake is the best song for eclipse despite it lack of presence in round 2.
    Think about it:
    "My Milkshake Brings all the boy to the yard" - Bella defo brings a lot of boys to her yard including Jacob, Edward, and various school chums like Mike Newtown ( who pwns them all with his epic butt shaking in the movie)

    And yes this song has a large amount of sexual undertones in it- but so does this book. Bella really came out of her shell and tried to go home base with poor prudish Eddy... :D
  • Shyan
    I picked falling for you because it's such a good song and it fits really well too!
  • Mariana
    THINKING OF YOU BY KATIE PERRY IS TOTALLY "NEWMONISH", IT DOESN'T GO WITH "ECLIPSE" AT ALL
  • Hayley
    I picked Fall For You. It is my all time favorite song ever!
  • yep, some of those songs are more "New Moon-type".
    it is hard to choose (good thing we can vote 3 times!)
  • Mariana
    EVERYONE!! REMEMBER WE ARE PICKING THE SONG FOR "ECLIPSE" NOT FOR "NEW MOON"
    SO DON´T CHOOSE ONE THAT FITS THE "NEW MOON" BELLA & JACOB RELATIONSHIP!
  • Rachelle
    vindicated, Vindicated, VINDICATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • its so hard to choose! :D
  • Darci
    Vindicated.

    Hope dangles on a string
    Like slow spinning redemption
    Winding in, winding out
    The shine of it has caught my eye

    And roped me in
    So mesmerizing
    So hypnotizing
    I am captivated
    I am

    Vindicated
    I am selfish, I am wrong
    I am right, I swear I'm right
    Swear I knew it all along
    And I am
    Flawed
    But I am cleaning up so well
    I am seeing in me now
    The things you swore you saw yourself

    So clear
    Like the diamond in your ring
    Cut to mirror your intention
    Oversized and overwhelmed
    The shine of which has caught my eye
    And rendered me so
    Isolated so
    Motivated
    I am
    Certain now that I am

    So turn
    up the corners of your lips
    Part them and feel my finger tips
    Trace the moment for forever

    Defense is paper thin
    Just
    One touch and I'll be in
    Too
    Deep now to ever swim
    Against the current
    So let me slip away
    So let me slip away
    So let me slip away
    So let me slip against the current
    So let me slip away
    So let me slip away
    So let me slip away
    So let me slip away

    My hope
    dangles on a string
    Like slow spinning redemption...
  • Kristen
    I love the song Broken by Lifehouse, and it was so perfect. I didn't even think about it at first, but it really fits well. :)

    So, are you sad to see this book end, or super ready to get to Breaking Dawn?
  • alexis
    i didn't know any songs except for 4. i picked earth to bella.i thought the millionar song was nice. the video was interesting...:)
  • Jennifer
    I absolutely love the songs choices! I picked my 3 but I truly hope "Vindicated" wins. I think it the best for everyone in the book.
  • Fall for you!!!!!! the line is perfect 'this is not what i intended. i always swore to you i'd never fall apart. u always thought that i was stronger. i may have failed but i have luved u from the start" u guys all no it fits, dont even lie.... :)
