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
Nothingman – Pearl jam
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl5sbwmvldo
Perfect!!
wow – really good choice…not too emo or stereotypical either!
this one is so edward…
That is actually the song I picked at the top! Love that song
BME
that a really good one its like not actually saying anything about his being a vampire or anything but its like the underlying concept its really good
DEFINATELY
A Modern Myth~~ 30 Seconds to Mars.
So aching, especially at the end!
Great choice, make sure you check it out!
“In My Arms” by Jon Foreman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKUb3Xnhwdo
for Bella and Edward’s plane ride back from Italy.
Van Morrison “I’ll Be Your Lover Too
Van Morrison version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sku3nagv9Xs
Robert Pattinson version:
Also one of his own songs Never Think.This song is awsome yet sad
Better As A Memory – Kenny Chesney (country, I know…but the lyrics are amazing)
By Myself – Linkin Park
Why – Secondhand Serenade
Stockholm Syndrome by Muse
Stockholm Syndrome by Muse
It is what I think of when Edward is reunited with Bella
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/muse/stockholmsyndrome.html
“Second Chance” by Shine Down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAcwdrIG6yw&feature=related
“Angels on the Moon” by Thriving Ivory
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8zJqP092DE
“It’s Not Over” by Chris Daughtry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6s8C2DvfGo
“Be My Escape” by Relient K
I totally agree with Second Chance by Shinedown, everytime I hear it I think of Edward
I don’t know if it worked the first time. I don’t know how to post links!
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/evanescence/bringmetolife.html
oh quick question. r u guys doing a bella & edward song poll for breaking dawn?
“You Could Be Happy” by Snow Patrol
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/snowpatrol/youcouldbehappy.html
this makes so much sense – especially from the Edward POV side!!
You Could Be Happy
by Snow Patrol
What Edward would tell Bella in New Moon if he could
I suggested the same song. We have good taste!
Forever by Papa Roach
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Jt-qTuRZc
especially
“Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever”
and the
“One last kiss
Before I go” parts at the end
Love this song! Especially ‘you’re my heroin(e)’
I’m really surprised that no one has mentioned this one yet. My vote would be for “The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot” by Brand New. I can picture the whole song as an inner monologue for Edward as he was deciding to leave.
Here’s a link to the audio with lyrics on youTube…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGzyBV8dEQ
Hope you enjoy, great song.
“TRIP” by Hedley
The opening verse fits perfectly for Edward finding love and then goes into how tortured he is that it can’t last…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVPRAD7VpWI
“The hardest part is knowing
That I’ll never follow through”
“Can you hear me?
Cause I can’t change what I’ll always be”
clean breaks by dashboard confessional is sooo perfect for edward’s part of new moon and it’s a beautiful song.. it talks about how he would want to make a clean break and he thought it would be best but everytime he saw or thought of bella or got closer to her he couldn’t stay away.
Oh, but the more I fight And the deeper I’m trapped
And I can’t break free Of this hold that you have
And I crave you more Under the heat of your touch
The Walk – Imogen Heap for Edward’s crazy logic on why left her.
Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,
Stop that now, ‘cause you and I were never meant to be
I think you better leave; it’s not safe in here,
I feel a weakness coming on.
http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-walk-lyrics-imogen-heap.html
“Face Down” – Family Force 5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZcEayBVcc8
“Ghost of You” – Good Charlotte
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1z_23nMI3Y
“Send Her My Love” – Journey
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xspgo9MOKps
“Only One” – Yellowcard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6I4s1m8r-Q
“Cold” – Crossfade
The Spill Canvas – One Thing Is For Sure
link: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858687129/
he spends most of the book away from bella, and only thinks about her, so there you go.
ok this would be great for bella but i think it could go both ways because of how lonely and vulnerable and upset edward was also. maybe it would work
breathe me by sia
oh my god that is such a sad song…. I second that! Breathe me by Sia!!
haha its true, that song is one of the few that i get so moved by.
also ghost of you by mcr is like perfect honestly
ah! sorry i didnt realize that was so graphic and not the video. heres the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG-dWH9Xi8s
no gore
i think breathe me by Sia is more of a bella’s song to jacob. i dont know thats just my take on it when I listen to the lyrics
I agree. I always saw that song as a Bella/Jacob song.
Sorry by Buckcherry.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VascyLfpNrI
I was going to post a verse or something just to show that it fits, but it all just goes with Edward. Its amazing.
i will not take my love away by matt wertz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hnyV8srdQU
it’s not quite as “sad” sounding but i think the lyrics are exactly what edward would be feeling towards bella.
Sing for Absolution – Muse
This song shows how Edward feels, not only when he is separated from Bella, but when he believes she has died. The very tone of the song make you feel his agony!
The first 4 lines of the song:
lips are turning blue
a kiss that can’t renew
I only dream of you
my beautiful
Here is the actual song:
So I know its the theme song for City of Angels but every time I heard Iris by Goo Goo Dolls I think of Edward.

Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHd09ezbU1Q
yes those lyrics fit perfectly i know of a few songs too but they are soundtracks to other dang movies too..:)

Saliva Rest in Pieces
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/saliva/rest+in+pieces_20120628.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dg2meIlDR8
2 songs by Crossfade Invincible and Cold
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n61Du5lhWio
The Rest in Pieces video isn’t the greatest but atleast you can hear the song.
the reason – hoobastank
http://www.lyricsbox.com/hoobastank-lyrics-the-reason-9hb8lh4.html
Keeping it real, based on SM web site
Yes, the Reason is good here too.
The Rescues wrote “My Heart With You” last year for Twilight and, although it was not picked up for the Twilight Motion Picture soundtrack, I believe it would be VERY appropriate for New Moon’s Motion Picture Soundtrack.
If chosen for the movie, I belive the song would be appropriate for Bella and Edwards’ return flight to Forks from Italy. The acapella would play nicely against their silent return.
Alex Patsavas, the music supervisor for both Twilight’s and New Moon’s Soundtracks, is already a fan of The Rescues and even used this song during an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. I hope she remembers to use it for New Moon!
The lyrics are here, on The Rescues’ myspace blog: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=232785168&blogId=441621860
The song is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmI8gO49dtc
A performance video is here (they start singing at about 1:21): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm89wgg9RxY
In the sun-Joseph Arthur
This is like Edward remembering Bella
wow, you beat me to choosing this song. I didn’t think anyone else would have thought of it. It’s so beautiful and sad
I’LL COME FOR YOU by Nickelback
http://www.metrolyrics.com/ill-come-for-you-lyrics-nickelback.html
HANGING BY A MOMENT by Lifehouse
http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/l/lifehouse2301/hangingbyamomentreal537601.html
BRING ME TO LIFE by Evanescence
http://www.metrolyrics.com/bring-me-to-life-lyrics-evanescence.html
Some of these songs are pretty fitting… but I honestly would rather see (and hope for) more instrumental background songs than lyrical songs.
Best I Ever Had, by State of Shock
http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/state_of_shock_lyrics_16322/life_love_and_lies_lyrics_46804/best_i_ever_had_lyrics_504697.html
Missing from Evanescence. Female lead singing, but lyrics are perfect for Edward to be singing to Bella.
CORRECTION. THIS song is absolutely perfect. ABSOLUTELY perfect. PLEASE read the lyrics. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/lifehouse/intothesun.html
Into the Sun by Lifehouse. I mean, it’s called Into the Sun. Perfect for when Edward’s about to step out in Volterra……….
who agrees???
agree
OK So I know it’s an 80s song, so someone would have to remake it. But the words are PERFECT for Edward’s POV of leaving.
“Hands To Heaven” – Breathe
21 guns-green day
link: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/green_day/21_guns.html
this is the actual link to hear the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p4YoWnoVIg
the one above is lyrics
Dying to Live again by Hedley
lyrics:http://www.metrolyrics.com/dying-to-live-again-lyrics-hedley.html
music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivvJtNivrp4
If today was youre last day – Nickelback
I think of New Moon every time I hear this song the radio. Wheather it’s bella in the piazza or Edward’s music during those few days before he leaves Her….I think it’s like the theme song of New Moon.
http://www.nickelback.com/ (the splash page has the music video for the song)
Into the Sun by Lifehouse! It’s PERFECT for when Edward’s about to step out into the square in Volterra….
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/lifehouse/intothesun.html
the scientist- coldplay
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/coldplay/the+scientist_20032632.html
Konstantine- Something Corporate (it’s not that popular but it’s soooo perfect!!!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMwI1DlZpyY
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own- U2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0YCsaPGb0Y
True Love Waits- Radiohead (aww this song makes me cry!)
Konstantine?
it’s a brilliant song, but i don’t see it for edward?
I just feel it fits because Andrew Mcmahon (who wrote the song) messed up big time with the girl that he loved, and felt extremely guilty for it, and Edward feels guilty for putting her in danger and then leaving her. Edward is constantly dreaming about Bella, while Bella can’t enter into a future without edward. The “and i’m sleeping in your living room” makes me think that Edward could never truly leave bella because he loves her so much. “I’m not your star” fits since he doesn’t think he is good enough for bella.
Into The Ocean By Blue October http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rebN_cxYwd8 / http://www.metrolyrics.com/into-the-ocean-lyrics-blue-october.html
Sound of Pulling Heaven Down By Blue October http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyNyyuVnojQ / http://www.metrolyrics.com/sound-of-pulling-heaven-down-lyrics-blue-october.html (It’s the only decent one on YouTube… how fitting that its from B.D. lol … But I am pushing for the Album version)
Home By Michael Buble http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qosgQOw6qQ / http://www.metrolyrics.com/home-lyrics-michael-buble.html(I Know its not a rock song… it just reminds me of him
)
Lost By Michael Buble http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHr7TJ2ZRtw / http://www.metrolyrics.com/lost-lyrics-michael-buble.html
oops i accidently replied to someones comment. here it is again:
Dying to Live again by Hedley
lyrics:
http://www.metrolyrics.com/dying-to-live-again-lyrics-hedley.html
music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivvJtNivrp4
The Scientist by Coldplay, definitely. The Reason by Hoobastank is okay, too. Maybe Sing for Absolution by Muse, or Trouble by Coldplay.
“Destiny” by Zero 7/Sia
these lyrics come to the forefront (Bella or Edward – can’t remember which – said they were each others DESTINY at the end of NM):
The journey’s long
And it feels so bad
I’m thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I’ll be back with you
I’m nearly with you
I’m nearly with you
When I’m weak I draw strength from you
And when you’re lost I know how to change your mood
And when I’m down you breathe life over me
Even though we’re miles apart we are each other’s destiny
my heart, paramore [figuratively, at least]
farewell, greg laswell
shrinking universe, muse
where would we be now, good charlotte
going under, evanescence
yeah.
“Lacrymosa” by Evanescence is really perfect!
Here are some lines from the song:
“I can’t change who I am, not this time
I won’t lie to keep you near me…”
“Blame it on me, set your guilt free.
I don’t want to hold you back now, love.”
Whoops! Forgot the link!
