For me its ‘Falling Slowly’ by the Swell Season! Heres the link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CoSL_qayMCc&feature=related
“Make this go on forever” by Snow Patrol
It captures the emotions of the series in one beautiful song…
Everything by Lifehouse
You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You are everything
You calm the storms
You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won’t let me fall
You still my heart
And you take my breath away
your guardin angel by rja
your call or a twist in my story by secondhand serenade
falling away with you by muse
all so perfect!
Lion rebecca st james MUST LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any muse song, Twilight by Vannessa Carlton and I really like the song Keeping Me Alive by the After, i couldnt find a good youtube video so look it up!
i agree, your call by secondhand serenade….just listen to the lyrics! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPqNImjK0_Y
hyper chondriac music- Muse (New Moon)
Strange and beautiful – aqualung
this is for keeps by the spill canvas,iris by the goo goo dolls,godspeed -anberlin(the cullens) ,make this go on forever-snow patrol and angels-by within temptation
I too vote Time is Running Out by Muse. I was never really a Muse fan, even after I read Twilight, but I really liked this song, and it got me into a lot of their other music. I think it captures the intensity of the second half of the book brilliantly.
My Immortal – Evanescence
this is for keeps lyrics,this song is my main twilight song for sure
The streets are dark, my pulse is flat-lined
as I’m running to you
You sit completely unaware of what I’m about to do
The air is thick with tension much like when we are together
My fangs are aching as I’m pondering about you and I forever
As I round your corner
I am nervous that you won’t be my lover
I knock three times and hope that my pale complexion won’t blow my cover
You answer the door with your innocent face
Would you like to leave this human race, tonight?
Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we’ll live our infallible love
My brain is pumping an unusual secretion of lust
Your eyes are softer now
and your chin, it drips a bloody color of rust
I am raising up the stakes of this round, I am playing for keeps
Oh, would you like to leave this human race, tonight?
Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we’ll live our infallible love
Follow me into the sea
We’ll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town
We’re both better than this, it’s not worth being down
Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we’ll live our infallible love
Follow me into the sea
We’ll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town (eternally)
We’re both better than this, it’s not worth being down (eternally)
I Vote for
ALL AROUND ME – FLYLEAF
i was going to post that songs but
people already posted it so i guess ill just vote for it
i ♥ that song
I’m thinking Breath by Breaking Benjamin….
It can kind of be from both Bella and Edward’s prospective
Oh wait! That song (^^^) would be better suited for New Moon. Sorry
Your Guardian Angel- Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Also for some reason I think of Twilight when listening to Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen. Not really sure why…
All Around Me- Flyleaf
Calling You- Blue October
and a lot of songs by the Beatles have a Twilight- esque feel
My suggestions:
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
Here With Me–Dido
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y95-VipidR0
Lyrics: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/dido/here+with+me_20040488.html
The Way It Is–Nicole Atkins

OH!
Leave Out All the Rest- Linkin Park
is a realllyyy good one. Very Twilight.
The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars i think its a great song and its just got that vampireish feel to it!!!
I chose “The Last Remaining Light” by Audioslave. It’s kind of a downer song, but it’s like Bella’s perspective on how she wants to be a vampire and Edward’s struggle with who he is and how he doesn’t think he has a soul…
“And if you don’t believe the sun will rise,
Stand alone and greet the coming night,
in the last remaining light.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UZ-2QAeN24 and the lyrics are listed in the description
http://youtube.com/watch?v=yZIummTz9mM
/\ /\ Leave Out All the Rest /\ /\
Some of its Edward some Bella and I think a little bit of Jake…
Whatever it takes, by Lifehouse. I’m pretty sure it was written based on Twilight. It has to be.
i defenietly agree with either icky vicky or megan becuase those sound like the book. but i also think that if there is a theme song for NEW MOON it should be NO AIR by Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown.
Sixx:A.M. – Life is Beautiful Lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPzXBh38h6Q
i also think this one would be great! kinda dramatic and not the same life is beautiful as first suggested
pretty much any Muse song goes along with twilight, and anytime i hear secondhand serenade i think of twilight. AAAHHHH! There’s too many to choose from!
“This Is For Keeps” by the Spill Canvas
“Starlight” by Muse
“Life in Technicolor” by Coldplay (this one doesn’t have lyrics, but I think the music speaks loudly enough!)
Youtube links:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dARJ-NK2x1g (not a music video, but it has the song in the background!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-c94VVU7zc
I Rock Your Soul by Elisa sums up the Twilight Saga really well… http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=v3JZUKcnb7s It reminds me of all of the talk of souls. I believe Edward has one. Anyway, the lyrics kind of, in my interpretation, go back and forth between Bella and Edward’s perspectives… BELLA…
woops… correction!
I **think** Rock Your Soul by Elisa sums up the Twilight Saga really well…
i agree with
“Your Guardian Angel” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
and
“Calling You” by Blue October
my suggestion
“Fall for You” by Secondhand Serenade
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bxJAiV-YF3Q
i love this f******* song so damn much
I’m a bit old school, but “You’ve Really Got A Hold on Me” by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. From both points of view – remember that neither was really fond of the other when they first met.
But I also agree with Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls!
There are so so so so so so many and I really love Iris by Goo Goo Dolls and All Around Me by Flyleaf.
I tried to pick a song I don’t think many people would’ve known about (but I didn’t read through all the comments so someone may have already suggested it). I chose Someone to Die For by Jimmy Gnecco Feat. Brian May off the Spiderman 2 Soundtrack. Here is the YouTube link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ombS-Wp4AI8
Oh wow ~~~ what about:
“Sing For Absolution” by Muse
or
“Vermillion Pt. 2″ by Slipknot (the acoustic version ~~ it’s gorgeous!!)
“Chills” by Nina May–a virtually unknown band.
The style of this song carries such an intense Twilight vibe. Please, no biased opinions.
I chose Here in your arms by hellogoodbye,
I’m gonna have to disagree with a lot of you… This Is For Keeps by the Spill Canvas just really irks me. I don’t know what it is about the song… maybe that its just too “hey I’m a vampire” for me? I don’t think it’s Edward’s style whatsoever. But, I do agree with everyone who chose 18th Floor Balcony by Blue October. Fantastic song!
My vote: Endlessly or Hysteria by Muse.
“Breakable,” by Ingrid Michaelson
I stopped walking and couldn’t stop smiling when I heard this.
It was as if she wrote this song after having read Twilight.
It’s perfect.
I also really like Here in Your Arms by Hellogoodbye. The lyrics are really simple and nice and basically just sum up Twilight.
Here’s the link to a fantastic youtube video for “Breakable”
Check it out – it makes your heart smile.
I love:
Hospital Bed Crawl by The Hush Sound or
This is for Keeps by The Spill Canvas
I have to say, “Lullaby” by The Spill Canvas.
I agree with everyone who says Lion by Rebecca St. James…I just listened to it for the first time, and it’s PERFECT.
but the one i submitted to Kaleb was Brighter Than Sunshine by Aqualung.
I think it basically sums up the relationship of Bella and Edward, and it leaves the watcher feeling content with the end of the movie.
=]
Oh! I have a lot of songs that are great for Twilight! Just not one that’s good for the whole book…
Eyes Of A Stranger by P.O.D., I thought, fit really well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cwnXEULVOo
Uhm. Twilight by Vanessa Carlton fits well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsEeV5rb-2I&feature=related
Broken Wings by Flyleaf fits a little bit in the beginning.
How My Heart Behaves
by Fiest
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E3P5DQSoQI
or
You are Mine
by Mute Math
ok so i have three that i can’t pick from but one of these has to be it!!!!!
1. stolen- dashboard confessional
2. your guardian angel- red jumpsuit apparatus
3. all around me- flyleaf
and they go in that order
“Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)” by Billy Joel.
I’m so glad Stephenie included this song in her playlist for Twilight. Every single word fits perfectly.
