Pick The Song for New Moon (Round 2)

A huge thank-you to everyone who voted in the first round to pick the song for New Moon! I received thousands of song suggestions, and luckily, I had set the system up beforehand that would help me tally them without having to count each one by hand 😀

The top ten most nominated songs can now be voted on by using the form below! There were some I knew were coming (Memories, Thinking Of You, Near To You) and others that surprised me (Jordin Sparks? One Republic?) but now it is down to all of you to pick the final song!

ADDED: TwilightTeez has given me one of their new EDWARD HOODIES to give away to one randomly chosen person who votes! So be sure to leave your email in the form if you want to enter!

I will be posting the results when I write my final thoughts for the Epilogue of New Moon. To help you in voting, clips of each song are below.

  1. These are all great selections, but I think that This Is For Keeps by Spill Canvas fits New Moon perfectly.

  2. MCR!!!!! WHY ARE NONE OF MCR’S SONGS ON THERE?!?!!? -sobs- NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I DONT LOVE YOU IS THE BEST NEW MOON SONG! GAH! I LOVE YOU MCR!!!!!!!!!

  3. Definitely ‘Near To You’ by A Fine Frenzy. Everytime I hear it, I automatically of Bella’s pain over Edward and Jacob. The perfect New Moon song IMHO =]

  4. All Around Me is my vote, even though I voted for Katy initially. Can’t want to see who wins!

  5. Hmm, my original choice for round 1 was All Around me, so I’m happy to see it up there… I already had All Fall Down and Fall For You on my iPod too, so that’s cool 🙂 I voted All Fall Down in the end.

  6. I voted for No Air but I wish I could change it to All Fall Down now, I didn’t see that on there.

  7. Eh, passing a vote this time around. I’m still point blank Sing for Absolution – Muse on this one. 😛

  8. I personally voted for Hate Me by Blue October for both rounds. I think it’s perfect. And may I quote our beloved Stephenie: “Oh my God, it’s Edward!”

    If you didn’t tune in or weren’t there, that’s what she said at one of the BD concert series. It’s the perfect song!

  9. Not really into the songs this round. Maybe will vote later. I have to agree with #13 Anna on that one, though. It’s the perfect song.

  10. I voted for ‘Near to you’ in the first round, and also did so in the second 🙂 Everytime I listen to that song I just see the entire story of New Moon flash before my eyes.

  11. There is no MCR song on the voting list because none of their songs got enough votes in the first round. I don’t have any control over that — I just add them up and put the top ten to be voted on 😀

    –Kaleb

  12. Dang it! I wanted MUSEEEE!!! ANd mcr! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! How could they not be voted for!?! Insanity i tell you!

  13. I voted for Near to You, and though I love it and thought of New Moon the very first time I heard it, I don’t think it fits as well as one of the not very popular songs I suggested, because it doesn’t cover the whole scope of the book. It’s just Bella healing with Jacob there, which is a huge idea in the book, but it starts and ends with Edward there, so these songs cut him out.

    My top pick was “How Do I Live” by Trisha Yearwood. Rather than the storyline, this song covers the idea and feelings of NM as a whole in my opinion. But whatever, A Fine Frenzy still rocks. I already have one song of hers that I want to suggest as a chapter song for Eclipse, though I haven’t decided what chapter yet.

  14. I suggested All Fall Down by One Republic 😀 I guess a lot of others were thinking along the same line. It fits the book perfectly.

  15. X & Y by Coldplay people xP
    It reminded me so much of Bella’s feelings for Jacob xP

    The top 10 are pretty good tho ^_^

  16. well, i agree that “hate me” by BO is.. well.. totally Edward.. but… he barely apears in new moon!!. I’m between “near to you”, and “al fall down”.. i mean.. New Moon = Jacob Black<3!!

  17. MY IMMORTAL ISN”T ON THERE?

    “and if you have to leave
    i wish that you would just leave
    cause your prescence still lingers here
    and it won’t leave me alone
    these wounds won’t seem to heal
    this pain is just to real
    there’s just to much that time cannot erase”

    how is that not the perfect song for new moon???

  18. Broken by Lifehouse
    voted for it in the first round
    all are great picks but Broken for me captures Bellas emotions perfectly especially these lines:

    I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
    With a broken heart that’s still beating
    In the pain there is healing
    In your name I find meaning
    So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
    I’m barely holdin’ on to you

    and when they sau “In your name I find meaning”
    it really reminds me of her hearing his voice when she does phsyco stuff

  19. I voted for One Republic, although I put that one for round one for Twilight XD and Lifehouse and Blue October. I hope at least one of those win!

  20. I voted “Near to You.” I went through something similar, so that song just gives me chills. And I related to New Moon in that aspect as well, so naturally I think it sums up the Bella/Jacob situation.

    I think the focus should be on Jacob, since their relationship takes such a dramatic turn in New Moon.

  21. I’m voting for ‘Broken’ because it the one that fits New Moon the most…which is really what this contest is about. I think ‘Near to You’ has a little to much focus on Jacob, when in reality Bella is anguishing over the loss of Edward more than choosing between Jacob in New Moon. I’m glad to see OneRepublic on the list, and Almost Lover has always been on my personal New Moon playlist, but I had to choose the one I felt best followed the outline of the book.

  22. Okay I’ll admit it, I’m a little bit biased when it comes to voting for a song for this book. Lifehouse is my favorite band, so obviously I’m gonna vote for them! I do think that song fits best, too, with Bella anguishing over losing Edward, but I love Lifehouse and that plays a big role in my decision too! I’m kind of surprised Katy Perry got on the list. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a good artist – I currently have Hot n Cold stuck in my head and was just listening to it before I came here. But she just doesn’t seem like the right type of artist to have the honor of having a song deemed as the theme song for New Moon. I don’t know. Just my opinion. But yeah, I picked Broken by Lifehouse. Best by far. 🙂

  23. Interesting song choices.

    Personally, I think the song lyrics to No Air fit perfectly, but it’s too upbeat for the book.

    I put in The Space Between by Dave Matthews Band, but that’s not really a band you think of when you think Twilight.

    I went with All Fall Down by One Republic. Some of the other song choices I really don’t care for.

  24. Oh yeah, one last thing. I think Hate Me is a good song too, but it’s got some weird messed up lyrics in the beginning that I just don’t think fit. >>

    I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
    They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
    Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
    Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home

    I don’t know, just doesn’t seem to SM-ish to me. Even if other lyrics do fit, the whole song’s gotta work.

  25. I originally voted for Hate Me, but I had never heard Thinking of you. I totally love it now, and I just voted for it.

  26. vote for hate me because its simply absolutly perfect. it fits so well for when edward leaves. sure, hes not there a lot but that is the biggest part of the book and one of the most important in the series i think because it helps them both understand how they simply cannot be apart from each other!

  27. my immortal should definitely be on there!!!!!!!!!!!! its the perfect NM song. it describes bella, edward AND jacob. *sigh* i wish more people had voted for that in the first round.

  28. awwwwww no mcr! :(:( and wat about better than me by hinder!!! its the edward new moon song! had to admit, only katy perrys song really fits nicely, the rest are myeh

  29. I agree with # 35 Hunter Lepold *Jazzay*. Broken by Lifehouse really captivates how Bella is feeling throughout New Moon..especially the chorus in the song. And the “In your name, I find meaning” lyrics remind me of when she’s being reckless (even though she’s not supposed to do anything reckless at all) just to hear his voice and name 🙂

  30. I voted for:

    Thinking of You
    Memories
    All Around Me

    .. I think I voted for All Around Me for Twilight as well, but I changed my mind to Your Guardian Angel xD

    I mostly looked at the lyrics to those and they seemed to describe New Moon perfectly.
    But Fall For You is a really good song too, it totally describes Ch. 23 TT~TT!!!

    Well, I’ll be exctied to learn what the top 3 songs will be x3

  31. i picked Hate me and All fall down.

    I picked hate me because that’s Edward in NM to me. Yes the lyrics are twisted, but it does speak what Edward is thinking.

    I picked All fall down because I’m biased towards the song. Also it’s kind of Bella to me.

    I don’t feel like any of the songs say Jacob.
