I have been planning this for a while now, and as I near the last two weeks of reading Twilight, the time has come to open the polls!
Everyone knows the importance of the final song in a film, the one that plays during the credits. The purpose of this is to bring the film to a closing with a song that seems to represent the movie you just watched. As songs have been such an important part of each chapter post, I have decided to take a vote for what the final song for Twilight should be, in the opinion of all the Twilighters around the world!
The goal is to find a song that seems to represent Twilight (the first book) as a whole to you. You can nominate up to 3 songs, but you must submit them separately.
There will be two rounds. One, will be suggesting songs. The second will be voting on the top-ten of those suggested. I will post the song for Twilight when I write on the epilogue, with my final thoughts on the book.
Also, as I am one who abhors polls with no prize, I am offering a free BITE ME HAT and MITCH HANSEN BAND CD to a randomly chosen person from those who enter– all straight from TwilightTeez.com!

I love The spill Canvas (Lullaby) He is so sweet and caring in this song it is exactly how Edward is, telling Bella he is here to protect her and she is safe he will kiss her then sing her to sleep Wow I think it is so perfect plus The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (Your Guardian Angel) sings about how he will never let her fall and he will stand up for her forever how he will be there for her through it all no matter what!
and finally Blink 182 (I’m Lost Without you) a song about how now they have found each other the worst fear is being apart. Yes all really good for Twilight!!
Oh man you guys seriously miss out – assuming most of you live in the US or Europe.
Kate Miller-Heidke’s Space They Cannot Touch hands down! Sums up no only the books but Edward and Bella’s relationship nicely.
(Both her and I are Australian. :P)

It’s not rock but I think it could be a good song…So here’s my song pick!
Sorry!! I picked more than 3!! I’m sorry I didn’t get to read that… I submitted more than three…. know I feel like I jerk, well, my most important three are:
Vampire Heart – HIM
Who Wants To Live Forever – Queen
Forever Young – Alphaville
@angelique (#99): There were over 3,000 songs submitted in the first 24 hours. I don’t think that will all fit on a page, much less the list there will be by the end of the week 😀
In fact, the reason the site was down earlier was because I’m only supposed to get a maximum of 150 emails an hour, and had exceeded it. Yikes! That was upped to 250 so there shouldn’t be any more problems.
Great picks so far everyone! Thanks and if you haven’t already, keep submitting them!

darkest love–jump little children (i love the live version the best)

HOHO, fall for you by secondhand serenade!! its totally edwards view actually, but its really 100% edward’s view! and say it again by marie digby is 100% bella’s view, haha, which one to choose arh? (:
Alrightt i just submitted The Spill Canvas song which i really hope gets picked! Every time i hear it it’s like hearing Edward’s thoughts, it’s perfect 🙂 ahhh i cant wait to see which one wins!
I voted for Bliss by Muse.
There are so many to choose from…argh! Confused!
I picked:
Cascada-Eveytime We Touch
DHT-Listen To Your Heart (slow)
DJ Sammy-We’re in Heaven (slow)
I can’t wait to see what songs win!!
Okay, I know it’s not really a song, but it’s just the first I can think of when Twilight is mentioned, since it’s used a place in the book. Sorry… -.-
i think everyone will agree with me when i say that there are way too many perfect songs for Twilight to just pick one. anyway, i just randomly submitted:
1. This Providence “My Beautiful Rescue”
2. Dashboard Confessional “Screaming Infidelities”
3. Switchfoot “Learning to Breathe”
everyone interprets this book differently, and each person takes something different away as an individual. these were just some random songs i thought of. also good is Red Jumpsuit Apparatus “Your Guardian Angel”…
PS. Twilight Fans are the best people in the world!!! 🙂
omg i swear if anyone actually looks at the song and the lyrics it fits this book perfectly word for word!!
its Gavin Degraw with In Love With A Girl
i swear it perfect
I’ve chosen 3 songs:
-Stolen by Dashboard Confessional
-Invincible by Muse
-Love will come trought by Travis
Monster lyrics
His little whispers.
Love Me. Love Me.
That’s all I ask for.
Love Me. Love Me.
He battered his tiny fists to feel something.
Wondered what it’s like to touch and feel something.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the window…
That night he caged her.
Bruised and broke her.
He struggled closer.
Then he stole her.
Violet wrists and then her ankles.
Silent Pain.
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the windows.
I will.
Hear their voices.
I’m a glass child.
I am Hannah’s regrets.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down.
Murder ears with pillow lace.
There’s bath tubs.
Full of glow flies.
Bathe in kerosene.
Their words tattoed in his veins.
then there is this one:
Blackout by muse
don’t kid yourself
and don’t fool yourself
this love’s too good to last
and i’m too old to dream
don’t grow up too fast
and don’t embrace the past
this life’s too good to last
and i’m too young to care
don’t kid yourself
and don’t fool yourself
this life could be the last
and we’re too young to see
or this one, which i have a feeling will be popular:
Animal I Have Become lyrics
I can’t escape this hell
So many times i’ve tried
But i’m still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)
I can’t escape myself
(I can’t escape myself)
So many times i’ve lied
(So many times i’ve lied)
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can’t escape this hell
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)
i hope they will be picked!
I submitted mines..I hope mines make it up to the top ten..
Song: Angels
By: Within Temptation
Well I already know one song that will be in the top ten…
This Is For Keeps-Spill Canvas
It is DEFINATELY a perfect choice. But I have no idea about the other nine. This will be very exciting.
Great idea Kaleb!
It doesn’t suprise me that you reached the maximum emails in an hour!!
Keep up the amazing work!
this is such a vamptastic idea!!!
i made twilight, new moon, and eclipse playlists on my ipdo (the songs r the 1s from stephenie meyer’s website) but the 1s i submitted r just songs i love tht arent from the website but i still think they r good twilight songs and i relly hope they make the top ten!!! oh and good luck to all!!! 🙂
🙂 cool idea, but have fun sorting through all the entries, lol
my favorite is This is for Keeps by The Spill Canvas- the lyrics are so perfect
hopefully it gets top 10 at least
i submitted I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith…it always reminds me of how Edward may feel when he’s w/ Bella.
My three?
Collide-Howie Day
Crazy For This Girl-Evan and Jaron
Moment-Aiden
I hope they get picked!
I just started reading Twilight, too… I finished it in 2 days =)
My pick is Thunder – Boys Like Girls because the lyrics are so good(this is just a small part):
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you’re unlike any other?
You’ll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don’t wanna ever love another
You’ll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Yeah I’m walking on a tightrope
I’m wrapped up in vines
I think we’ll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain
I actually put “Beautiful Mess” by Jason Mraz as my first choice.
You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man then lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy, humble but you’re greedy
And based on your body language and shoddy cursive I’ve been reading…
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jasonmraz/abeautifulmess.html
Well since w’re now all sharing what we chose, mine was:
“Crashed” by Daughtry.
Listen to it. It fits SOOO well!
I had a bunch of songs that I are very Twilight-ish. But, I guess I based my picks on the lyrics and the music. Twilight seems like a very ROCK book. hehe.
My picks:
1. “Battle of One” by 30 Seconds to Mars
2. “Rangers” by A Fine Frenzy (not a Rock song, but eh)
3. “Drive There Now” by The Almost
Oops! I had a bunch of songs that I THINK are very Twilight-ish. LOL
“Crashed” by Daughtry:
I was moving at the speed of sound.
Head spinning, couldn’t find my way around, and
I didn’t know that I was going down.
Yeah, Yeah…
Where I’ve been well it’s all a blur.
What I was looking for, I’m not sure.
Too late and didn’t see it coming.
Yeah, Yeah…
Chorus:
Then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could’ve been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can’t walk away.
Somehow, I couldn’t stop myself.
I just wanted to know how it felt.
Too strong, I couldn’t hold on.
Yeah, Yeah…
Now I’m just trying to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened.
Where we’re heading, there’s just no knowing
Yeah, Yeah…
Chorus
From your face, your eyes
Are burning to me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.
Oh, just what I need.
Chorus
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can’t walk away.
my picks are waaay awesome
starting with taking back sunday’s make damn sure cause it’s just perfect for it!! u know it xD
then Angels and Airwaves’ Breathe cause it’s a perfect love song and and it fits perrrrfectly!! please try to check out those lyrics!
Has anyone suggested anything from the Mitch Hanson Band yet?!
Seeing as those songs are actually BASED on Twilight. it only seems reasonable to suggest some:P
haha i’m sure about a gajillion people already picked it, but “time is running out” by muse is just perfect.
like…”the scientist” by coldplay and “lullabye” by billy joel.
Hayley Westenra – Dark Waltz
haha I know the songs I picked aren’t going to be the most popular, on account I know some pretty random music that people don’t list to, but Oh well.
i hope mine get picked!
they are:
Collide – Howie Day
Seventeen Forever – Metro Station
Fall for You – Secondhand Serenade
How about Fear by Sarah McLachlan.
Youtube it. It fits perfectly! Seriously!
I chose to enter:
1) Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls
2) This is for Keeps by The Spill Canvas
3)Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis
Peronally I think the song ‘This is for Keeps’ by The Spill Canvas is the best representation of Twilight. It sounds like it was written for the book. It’s scary how good that song is, and I hope it will be a popular choice.
Whoa, I submitted All Downhill From Here by Amy Kuney. It’s a fairly recent song, but it just sort of ends Twilight but gives you the gist of the sequels; hence the title: “All Downhill From Here.” It’s an amazing song, and I hope it makes it!
I beg to differ; i’d be totally pleased if Jonas Brothers got picked
idk about their new songs
but Please Be Mine by Nicholas Jonas is amazing! now shove that down your narrow-minded asses (which in your case are equivalent to brains)
listen to it! it’s the shit! :]]
OMG!! the song i picked is my all time favorite!! and my best friends too!!!
i entered:
Lion – Rebecca St James
I thought the song “This is For Keeps” by The Spill Canvas covered it pretty well. A few things strayed from the type of vampire Stephenie describes, but the desire for blood, eternity, and love is all there. Great Song. Hope it wins.
I chose Meg and Dia’s ‘Monster’
When I heard that song i was like…this was made for twilight. The lyics go perfectly with for the entire series.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlEiNmVX82Y
Woot! I am confident that my song will do well 😀 I submitted “Human” by Jon McLaughlin.
I think mine represents New Moon more so than Twilight…
I have T H E perfect song for New Moon. I think you guys would agree at least a little bit.
Far Away – Nickelback
I love that song and I think it totally makes sence for New Moon. I wish he was on that book already. (:
-Alexa
I changed my mind. That song is perfect for the whole series. (:
I think Lullaby by The Spill Canvas fits very well.
I submitted Lion by Rebecca St. James
The song I picked is No Fear by The Rasmus. It pertains to Bella if she were to pick the vampire way =)

Hero/Heroine and Seventeen Forever are great songs for Twilight too!!
Wow This is a brilliant idea! i already did my 3 and just like everbody else i totally think these 3 songs work…only 1 has been mentioned before so i hope you pick mine!
thanks for the gud posts
