Music Review: Twilight: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Comments Page 2

Wow, I hope the movie is better than the soundtrack.

Let's get my bias right out of the way: I'm a Twilight fan. I didn't wait in a midnight Barnes & Noble line or anything like that, but started reading the books out of curiosity.  It didn't take long for me to fall in love with Stephanie Meyer's work and the timeless quality inherent in her writing.  It is a contemporary story, no doubt, but mark my words, this is a book that will be around a long time.  I wish I could say the same about the movie soundtrack.…

    I loved the twilight soundtrack, especially Bella's Lullaby & Rob Pattinson's Never Think. I was a little dissapointed that they did not encorporate a lot more of the instrumental music, I found them much more moving and entwined with the story than some of the songs from the actual soundtrack no matter how enjoyable they were

    i totally agree. i like some of the music but it dosnt suit the movie. i imagined more soft melodies. the song 'a little love song' by jose vanders i think fits amazingly with twilight.

Who doesn't want more, really !? More thriling stories, more adventures, emotions, MORE of the amazingly, stunning, gorgeous, lovable, HOT EDWARD!!! =D

    Oh just ONE QUESTION... What's the song edward plays on the piano at his house with bella, cant find it and I just LOVE IT!!! !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Stephanie, THANK YOU, not only did you write the best books but without kowing it you brought alot of hope in my life, and in the lifes of others I AM SURE!!!! <3

    You're wrong.
    The song's in the movie were amazing and fit in perfectly with the modd of the current moment! It really showed how their feelings were up and down. I love all the music, and you obviously don't know what you're talking about!

    I completely agree with you! I did enjoy the movie, but I feel as though each scene could have been much better if the music didn't sound like the soundtrack to an 80's film that I would probably laugh at. A movie's soundtrack is so important in creating the right tone for the scenes, so let's just hope that the soundtrack for New Moon will be a lot better!!!

    MY FAVORITE SCENE IN "TWILIGHT" WAS THE SCENE BETWEEN "BELLA" & "EDWARD"...WHEN "EDWARD" SAID "YOUR LIKE A DRUG TO ME,MY OWN PERSONAL HERION!"..AND THE SONG PLAYING MADE THAT SCENE STAND OUT..I COULD NOT STOP REPLAYING THAT SCENCE..IT WAS SO SWEET!

    Personaly I thought everything was just great. Everything when just right & I think who ever dessagrees with me Just didn't get in to the movie. I personaly watch it everyday since it came out, & it just gets even better cause you get it more & makes me feel like I'm the one in the movie. I loved the song by Paramore-"Decode" what I been having trouble is in finding the actual piano song Edward played on the piano on (TWILIGHT) I just can't seem to find it. & it's not "Bella's Lullaby" Its not "River Flows in you" neither. I just Hope the rest of the movies are even better!!!!!!!!!

    There is a point in the movie where a song is played that is listed nowhere..and i mean nowhere, not even in the credits.

    it's girls' voices...just singing "ha haha haa haha"...something like that with music in the background. it's at the part where bella hangs up the phone with her mother in the beginning of the movie after telling her about her first day and into the parking lot scene where bella says she planned to confront edward but he never showed...all the way up to the part where the first man is killed by the nomads.


    anybody know what it is?

    I agree in part. Yes, the music was geared toward teens and tweens, but so was the whole movie. That's what was disappointing to me. The books were loved by all ages. The movie was great but definitely marketed to that easily obssessed generation. Overall I think the tracks were great and they did suit the movie - just not the novel. Bella's Lullaby especially was a disappointment. Again, I understand it was supposed to woo that younger crowd but it was more of a symphonic piece rather than the intimate piano melody described in Meyer's first book.

    The movie was okay.. but boring sort of.
    I really hate paramore, they should have put some better music in the movie. Although some of the music are good for the certain parts.

    I like what you were saying at the beginning and I feel the same way; last year I made fun of my friend for reading a book about vampires, but then I found myself slowly being sucked in and by this time last month I started reading them and I can't stop rereading them, they're very good ! However, I did like the soundtrack, whenever I hear decode by Paramore it reminds me of the books, and I love the Muse song and the Mutemath song as well.

    I love all the songs from the sound track.but the one i liked the most was leave out all the rest because it was kind of foreshadowing for the next movie when edward leaves bella.

    I'll admit that my friends were made when i told them when i liked twilight, but i don't care. The songs on the soundtrack are awesome, my favorite song has to be i caught myself.

  • 73 - anonymous

    May 08, 2009 at 8:23 pm

    I personally thought the songs were the best part of the movie.

  • 74 - wunderkind

    May 10, 2009 at 8:12 am

    Now I pray that I'm wrong, but I just don't see how most of these pieces will compliment the story or the movie.

    That's what the movie score is for.

  • 75 - natasha

    May 15, 2009 at 6:55 pm

    during twilight the music is awesome i think one of the best parts is baseball
    and when bella finds out edward is a vampire i just love the movie nealy every day i watch it theres something about it i do seek that it could be because jacob edward emmett and jasper are all hoti really want the cd for my birthday but thats in october the 16th how is there a way i could get it
