Totally agree with you about Twilight!
I watched it without ANY expectations at all, as I was not caught up in any of the pre-Twilight hype (unlike now!)…and Twi’s soundtrack juz BLEW me away!
I was scouring all the CD shops after that and managed to find one copy after much calling around…LOL!

But I muz say (again), New Moon’s soundtrack is exceptionally appropriate. Hope the vast majority of Twi-hards feel the same and that the non-Twi-Hards realise what a cool Saga this is.

I was surprised they gave it such a positive review, the “cool” media tend to want to pick on us twihards! But being compared to the 80’s great, Breakfast Club, John Hughes is major. Those movies never won an Oscar, but they are like a time capsule of our lives. Those are the movies people are still quoting, those are the movies I show my kids when we talk about “When Mom and Dad were kids….. (wow showing my age here!!)

ANYHOW…..I LOVE the soundtrack, it rocks out, it is emotional, it captures the feeling of the story.

I love trying to figure out which song/ which part of the story. Also, I think it kicks a** that they “weave” the music so deep into the story. When I first watched Twilight, and was hearing all the soundtrack in the movie, it gave me chills. They tie it all together. What a bunch of geniuses!

I agree with you! and have one to add:
Solar Midnight- a Jacob song. Has to be.

“When it’s Midnight and it’s colder, pull you closer I can see you through.
When its daylight, solar and it’s over, it’s just me and you.”
I THINK I have the lyrics/chorus right. I’ve been listening repeatedly for a week. OMJ

Oh! Shooting the Moon – maybe a wolfpack song? idk…

Ok…here’s my opinion!

Friends has something to do with a wolfpack scene.

Possibility and Satellite Heart are obviously Bella’s zombie scenes where her heart is completely shattered.

No Sound But the Wind and You Belong to Me have to do with the Italy scene.

Hearing Damage – again Bella’s Zombie scenes but from Jacob’s POV.

Meet Me on the Equinox is the general theme song.

White Demon Love Song – when Bella is having nightmares about Edward.

That’s all I can think of right now! lol

I have always liked indie music and was familiar with a few of the artist already (Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina, Lykke Li, St. Vincent who is featured on one track…) so I just knew I had to hear it in full and lives up to my expectations.

The first soundtrack fits in with the first film and the second soundtrack really fits in with the second film. I hope it continues that way.

Oh, and Rolling Stone gave a glowing review in case anyone doesn’t understand their tone and use of english. They really do GET IT.

Glad to hear they gave it a good review. I guess we all think alike. I, too, had my doubts when I heard only parts of the songs online, but now that I’ve listened (over and over) to the complete soundtrack, it has won me over! Like the first Twilight Soundtrack, it’s now on constant repeat.

I like the whole CD, but love Possibility, Satellite Heart, and Friends. And The Meadow. I’ll be picking up The NM Score next month, for sure too!
