So this week’s music poll is all about Edward! Last week we openned the poll on the ultimate Bella New Moon song and with over 7000 votes in the poll the song on top was Haunted by Kelly Clarkson.
So this week I am asking which songs remind you of Edward in New Moon. And I am just going to say this up front Hate Me by Blue October is a given. It won’t be included in the poll just like My Immortal for Bella wasn’t included.
So here is what you need to do, leave a comment containing the name of the song you think represents Edward most in New Moon. In order for the song to be considered for the poll please leave a link to the song lyrics or video.
Please do not post the lyrics in the comment box. If a post contains full lyrics(anything more than 4 lines) it will be deleted.
Thanks for undertanding and start posting! Just a reminder this is just for fun and has nothing to do with the New Moon soundtrack in any way.
Here are a few of the ones I think of: I Wish th Best for You by Emerson Hart (for the goodbye scene) Too Late by Fisher (Edward’s overall feelings)
Be My Escape
Apocalypse Please – Muse
sorry this is the the link.
that was awesome…i can absolutely see that reflecting Edward’s pain
I think the band Copeland’s entire album You Are My Sunshine fits the Twilight Saga. Whenever I am reading I have to listen to it. I can’t listen to anything else. The sound of it, the lyrics, the mood…everything about it fits these books.
For Edward’s song in New Moon I say:
Copeland-The Grey Man
their song ‘Should You Return’ is totally Bella in New Moon..I know I am late, but just for you…you should check it out!
“i can’t live” by justin G.

“Goodbye My Lover” by James Blunt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2I0UHcrWoo
PERFECT lyrics for Edward!!!
i so totally agree. “i saw the end before it began”.
what an amazing song, and so apt.
I’ve listened to a lot of these songs and this one just fits perfectly. Love “good bye my lover” for Edward’s song!!
i agree “i know your smell. i’ve been addicted to you.”
or same mistake also by james blunt-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdJOUZgeKV0
“dont but the promises cause there are no promises i keep…Look at the stars fall down. And wonder where did I go wrong.”
Uninvited by Alanis Morrisette has always reminded me of how Edward wanted to stay away from Bella.
Also, In Your Arms by Stanfour
I forgot links. In Your Arms by Stanfour
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqWvs7ogBuY
Uninvited by Alanis Morrisette
I thought of that song too!
Here is the link for the song I said earlier.
Copeland-The Greay Man
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lw_ZOMY3pY
love that song, it´s awesome and it got me depressed, i like that kinda thing and what else than depressed and lost is there for edward, anyway..
I listen to “Hate Me” by Blue October all the time and I can just see the words running through Edward’s mind as he runs away from Bella, but I think it works well with his entire mindset.
I just watched your link and this song is so good. At the end when I relized his mom died I cried because someone just died in my family today and it reminded me of how I never talked to him that much and now he is gone.
ih
the reason by hoobstank
I love this song too! It does go good with the book too! I just listened to it the other day I’m surprised that I didn’t think of that! Good thinking!!
PERFECT!!
OMG! The Reason by Hoobastank is absolutely perfect! Every single lyric in the song suits Edward and the song is brilliant!
~Tracey
The reason….perfect!
that song is perfect!
i was listening to it the other day and is absolutely an “edward” song, the lyrics fit and the melody is good too
i personally love the chorous:
“I’ve found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you”
just love it
I forgot links. In Your Arms by Stanfour
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqWvs7ogBuY
Uninvited by Alanis Morrisette
I just listened to Stanfour…it’s BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks for sharing.
You Could Be Happy– so a theme song for when he’s in South America. Makes me want to cry.
Oh my God I love this song, by Snow Patrol, they are my favourite band and they are from Belfast, as I am too which makes it even better!
I love Linkin Park-What I’ve Done, for when Edward is standing under the clock tower about to step out into the sun!
I like “What I’ve Done” by LP as well…here is Marie Digby doing the cover, which I also like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otdEhyGrujQ
Yes, that is a good one too.
“You could be happy, I won’t know. But you weren’t happy the day I watched you go.”
Justin Guarini; I Can’t Live.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfyDo433chs
This might me a given because it was written for New Moon, but it is for after Edward thinks that Bella is dead….
I REALLY didn’t want to nominate another Kelly Clarkson song but every time I hear “already gone” I think Edward…
“I want you to know
It doesn’t matter where we take this road
Someone’s gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn’t have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I’m already gone”
I totally agree
I love that song. Totally agree.
I think that “Already Gone” by Kelly Clarkson is perfect for Edward. I know its Kelly Clarkson but it really is an amazing song. Check it out.
Here is the link.

Tears of an Angel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ude1PQEa0DA
The song is amazing and the link to the video is just as good. Watch it.
This song best represents his feelings when he is gone and away from Bella and goes trough so much turmoil.
I agree. That song definitely for me sums up Edward. Especially when he is away.
it´s just beautiful and yeah, it fits
I think untouched is also perfect for Bella.
Away From Me by Evanescence
Earth to Bella Part 1 by Incubus
Yes! Earth to Bella is awesome!
here are my choices for Edward….Dear God-Avenged Sevenfold, Almost Easy- Avenged Sevenfold, Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow- Bullet for my Valentine
Hate Me – Blue October
Duh
Quiet-Rachel Yamagata
yes racheal is soo good!
The Scientist by Coldplay
Yes! That song is 100% Edward right there at the end of New Moon!
Yeah, the Scientist is a good one, too.
Yes! This song is perfect for Edward.
http://www.absolutelyrics.com/lyrics/view/paolo_nutini/white_lies/
White Lies by Paolo Nutini. To me this song says everything Edward wanted to say but couldn’t say to Bella when he left her in the woods. Also, His voice reminds me a little bit of Robert Pattinson’s.
JAZZ love P.N. he is a great artist good song twifriend.I also like that he is still unknown not as popular as l.park. and cold play..
Map of the Problematique – Muse
Your Guardian Angel
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6416616473198016556
The Scientist By Coldplay
http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/coldplay-lyrics/the-scientist-lyrics.html
omg i love this song most deff the scientist is the perfect edward song
all coldplay songs r very pretty and fit new moon very well
There are a couple of songs by Justin Hines, which illustrate Edward’s feelings in ‘New Moon’. Doing what’s best for the one you love by leaving them.
“Wish You Well” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgngckp6UkQ
and “Say What You Will” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6xqtu60sHc
Sing For Absolution By Muse
This one is sad.
http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/muse-lyrics/sing-for-absolution-lyrics.html
:{
That is my absolute favorite for Edward.
It’s very sad, as you mentioned. A perfect depression song for Edward. Makes me think of him every time.
Far Away by Nickelback reminds me of what Ewdard and Bella are going through.
The Scientist by Coldplay
sounds of pulling heaven down by blue october
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMz8yD-H0Tg

sing for absolution by muse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOoL9lyATcg
sorry by the jonas brothers (if jonas brothers or any other disney type star make it on to the real soundtrack ill be pissed, twilight is stuff like paramore, muse, linkin park not pop but still think song works for it, and its the only acceptable pop song for it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-7X07VFgFs
and
move along by all american rejects would be good for bella
I think Far Away by Nickelback would be great !!
“From a Shell” by Lisa Germano
here’s the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3viH8-tOijw
it reminds me of Edward when He’s away from Bella..i don’t know why but it does…i’ve been reading the lyrics over in my head all flipping day!
~Kris Cullenz
GAH! the link didn’t work…

H.I.M. “Funeral of Hearts”

(the official video from the band in HD along with the lyrics playing in the vid.)
Prodigal by One Republic, for Edward’s leaving in the forest and then being gone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95dq75ZS53U
Lyrics:
http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Prodigal-lyrics-OneRepublic/061A3CF4B4D2AEA8482573950016245D
I like this song and lyrics it fits very good..:)
Yes! not a single phrase that doesn’t tell his story…his shame at running, wanting Bella to move on, fearing she won’t, fearing he’ll cave and come back. Absolutely perfect!!
“I’ll take everything from you, but you’ll take anything, won’t you.
Run away like the prodigal, don’t you wait for me
So ashamed but I need you so, and you wait for me”
Run away, run away for you…”
that was perfect. i’d never heard that song before, good choice.
-dear god by avenged sevenfold
“A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
Hope is hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP8P1_7PJoM
-Everything by lifehouse
“Find Me Here

-baby you wouldnt last a minuteon the creek by chiodos
“Let’s just stop,

And just walk away.”

-Hate that i love you by rihanna ft neyo
“But you won’t let me
You upset me girl
And then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forget (that I was upset)”
A Modern Myth – 30 Seconds to Mars.
Especially when Jared starts singing/shouting the “goodbye”s at the end. I can really feel Edward’s angst when he’s walking away from Bella.
Please look it up. The lyrics are somewhat simple, yet relevant, but the song is heartwrenching.
You’ll be glad (or sad, given the context) that you did.
Lyrics:http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/30secondstomars/amodernmyth.html
Just listened. POWERFUL. I teared up.
Good choice! Awesome song! Fits perfecty with the “goodbye’s” and silence at the end!! Love it!!
Hate Me-Blue October
deffinetly number one.
and when he comes back i think Lullaby(Goodnight My Angel)-Billy Joel
it works because everything he is saying is what he tells Bella at the end.
a song that i forgot to add for Bella’s song is Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol
it works for Bella to Edward, and Jacob to Bella.
Also The Birthday Massacre’s “Remember Me” They have dont two versions of this song. Both have the same lyrics though.
This link is for the first version with the lyrics in the info
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A7zWFiFXWw
This link is for the official version but the lyrics don’t accompany the vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7Y0MGeJsXQ
Its hauntingly beautiful. Almost like if Edward wrote a song after he left, this would be it. Just sang by a woman lol.
*plz ignore the ‘dont’ in the first line there! sorry, i just made my post very confusing! eek.
Definitely ‘The Scientist’ by Coldplay.
Goo Goo Dolls – Sympathy
The style of the song isn’t as dark as Edward’s should be but the lyrics describe Edward’s struggle and apology to Bella in such a good way.
Jeff Buckley “Lover You Should’ve Come Over”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq9R9Iu4EEs
Listen to the whole song.
Hands Down. This is the song. I would love to hear Robert sing it.
Agreed, this is an awesome song!
Oh thats a good suggestion plus Rob doing a cover would be awesome too!
Swim- Jack’s Mannequin, woulda been a perfect song for Bella, yea pretty much perfect. It’s very New Moon!
Hate Me- Blue October is most awesome for Edward and also Sing for Absolution-muse!
Sing for Absolution is perfect, cuz he asking her to forgive him.
and i know many have said it, but the reason by hoobastank is good.
Sound of Pulling Heaven Down by Blue October is good, too.
Almost Lover is pretty good, too.
I think “Bruised” by Jack’s Mannequin is pretty fitting. At least the chorus is anyway. xD The chorus expresses how much Edward wanted it to be a clean break between them but both of them still felt pain.
I think “Who I Am, Hates Who I’ve Been” by Relient K also works.
who i am hates who i’ve been doesn’t really work because it implies he likes who he’s become which…yeah, no, not really.
i totally agree, Bruised really fits if you look at the song as a whole. it was my New Moon song for forever
Jack’s Mannequin – Lonely For Her
link: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858548963/
Jack’s Mannequin – Bruised
link:http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858548766/
Hours pass and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there
I swear I didn’t mean for it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised
Yes!!! Bruised would fit well!
I’d Come For You Nickelback
site:http://music.yeucahat.com/song/53351-I-d-Come-For-You~Nickelback.html
Verse:
I cant believe I said I’d lay our love on the ground
But it doesn’t matter cause I’ve made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.
I really like the song Second Chance by Shine Down…every time I hear it I think of Edward leaving……
Update….here’s a youtube video for Modern Myth that is Twilight themed. I haven’t watched it but I hope it’s good
”Goodbye My Lover” by James Blunt is perfect in my mind.
”I Thought She Knew” by NSYNC (cheesy I know, but the words mean alot)
I got two.
Bring me to life-evanescence
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_4s-FvVuUE
andd
circles-hollywood undead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmqz9046jwQ
i think the second one is more fitting.
the shadow of the day by linkin park
it talks about how edward feels about leaving bella and his reflection of how that will make her feel
Leave ot all the rest linkin park. the sad break up scene. heres the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfoMoW9Bhcw
Leave Out All the Rest fits but it was on the Twilight soundtrack so I think it is associated with Twilight already.
hoobastank- the reason
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3w5R9huWfs
its old school but i think it goes well with edwards changes and feelings
Agree with this totally! It mas the one I first thought of to represent Edward!
