Part 2 of the Lexicon Music feature is about your opinion on the New Moon Soundtrack!
Ok Twilight fans here is your chance to share your opinion on which song from Stephenie’s playlist you think should be included in the New Moon soundtrack. In case anyone has forgotten the playlist (I know how silly that sounds) go here. In this one instance I am going to be completely biased in my choice. I think that Be My Escape by Reliant K is the perfect choice. Now before I receive a ridiculous amount of hate mail let me explain my choice. This song reminds me a lot of what Bella’s struggle in New Moon is about and there is one particular scene that the song reminds me of. Motorcycles, need I say more? Just so you can all see my opinion is based on a bit more than bias here are the reasons why including lyrical support:
1. Be My Escape as a song represents what Jacob is to Bella. In a sense he saves her from herself.
Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.
2. As far as Bella goes she gets that she has become a shell of herself without Edward but finding a way out of the loss she feels isn’t easy and wouldn’t be accomplished without an escape (enter Jacob).
I’m giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there
3. Lastly the song reminds you of what Bella needs an escape from, Edward.
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair (this is by far one of my favorite lines)
Now not to neglect some other amazing music here are my other choices.
Memory by Sugarcult (acoustic version) This is listed as a Bella song on the playlist.
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart’s beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
Hate Me by Blue October This is possibly the most perfect Edward song ever. I was a fan of Blue October prior to them being introduced to the Twilight world and didn’t realize just how complimentary their lyrics are.
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you (need we post any more?)
My Immortal by Evanescence I think this is the first song most people associated with Bella and Edward’s relationship and it relates well to the situation in New Moon.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
So Twilighters we have created a poll using Stephenie’s playlist for New Moon and let’s face it we like nothing more than having our opinion heard. Choose the song you think should be on the New Moon Soundtrack. (Please note we have no say in the soundtrack this is just for fun!!) You can also discuss the The New Moon Soundtrack here.
