2. Yes! Broken by Lifehouse! One of my favorites. Though, I like Whatever It Takes better… Wish it had been on here.

   Anyway, all you voters out there, vote on Broken! It’s so sweet… 🙂

3. OMG!!! i can’t decide… i mean all of these are my favorite songs!

   Help ! i can’t decide!!!!

4. Oh!!! Good! No Air by Jordin Sparks is on the list! Very good!!! But still… Hate me by Blue October is the must song for this book… Oh I am confused!!! What shall I vote…???

5. I think Hate Me should win. Have any of you been to Stephenie’s website? It was on her playlist for New Moon. OMG! Fall for you! whenever my mom hears that she thinks about Twilight.They’re all good songs, but I think Blue October will prevail and dominate!

6. Near to You is amazing.I hadn’t heard the song before now, but it fits New Moon so perfectly!

7. DOES NO ONE LSITEN TO BETTER MUSIC THAN THIS???

8. Definitely “Memories” by Within Temptation. This is the only song that really seems to sum up Bella’s life in New Moon. Memories of Edward, his voice are all that keep her going. Even if it’s not the one ultimately picked, it will always be my number one choice.

9. I voted for All Fall Down by One Republic. The very first time I heard that song I immediately thought new moon, it just has the new moon feel to it for me, its very Bella in my opinion 🙂

10. I voted for Broken by Lifehouse. This is one of my favorite songs. It makes me think of Bella and Edward both during their separation. I’m also biased because it reminds me of my nikolas and emily from GH, and their last goodbye as this was their montage song.

11. I am so freaking happy that Hate Me made it to the list. It’s just so freaking perfect. (Freaking.)

12. HELL YEA!!!! I voted for Broken!

13. I – obviously – voted for Hate Me by Blue October. I do get that the lyrics are twisted, but that’s still Edward. It has him written ALL over it. And never say that it doesn’t, because that is a lie, and I will call you on it.
    And Katie~, 42. Just to point it out cuz its really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really bothering me, that song is on her playlist for Edward. So it is Stephenie-ish.
    However, I am very sad that Sound of Pulling Heaven Down didn’t get on there.
    Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade is really good, too, and I agree that the lyrics for No Air are perfect, but it’s still just a bit too upbeat. I like Memories too, though. And a lot of others. And, just to put it out there, I really thought that something of MCRs would have managed its way on here…
    Oh well. There are too many songs. I guess we’ll make due.
    ilu Kaleb.

14. I voted for A Fine Frenzy’s Almost Lover. It fits New Moon so well and it’s such a pretty song!

15. Those are all GREAT songs. I waffled between One Republic and Katy Perry, but I think I have to go with One Republic. All Fall Down has more forgiveness in it, more of a sense that, when it’s all over, it’ll be ok.

16. Ok, please don’t pick No Air. Yes, the lyrics fit well, but the song is so… yeah it’s really upbeat, I’ll agree with the people who said that.
    A lot of the other songs fit well, though. I’m trying to decide between Broken and Near to You, but I really like Memories too…

17. Fran #57, I TOTALLY agree with you. There’s a thousand better songs that fit just as well or even better in New Moon and no one ever thinks of them! A lot of these are too…I don’t know, pop-py? Foofy?

    OK, I admit people do listen to Evanescence but still! This is only for Bella’s MRGH-ness when Edward leaves and not when he returns, but I’m still astounded that no one put Going Under.

    Tourniquet can fit both Edward and Jacob at parts. It’s a bit too suicidal for Bella, but still…

    And lastly for Evanescence, just listen to Taking Over me. Just go.

    When Jake leaves Bella for a while, Staind’s Mudshovel fits sorta. Their song Epiphany fits the book too.

    Right now, I really can’t add more, but guys, think of some more songs!!!! Not everyone thinks Jordin Sparks is vampire-ry enough….

    And so I end it with my last and favorite Staind song. It sounds like something I can see Edward listening too, IDK. It’s called Believe. I think it fits perfectly, and it doesn’t even need to be that specific about it, just the feel of it is perfect.

    Here ya go, and cya.

    “I sit alone and watch the clock
    Trying to collect my thoughts
    All I think about is you
    And so I cry myself to sleep
    And hope the devil I don’t meet
    In the dreams that I live through

    Believe in me
    I know you’ve waited for so long
    Believe in me
    Sometimes the weak become the strong
    Believe in me
    This life is not always what it seems
    Believe in me
    Cause I was made for chasing dreams

    All the smiles you had to fake
    And all the shit you had to take
    Just to lead us here again
    I never have the things to say
    To make it all just go away
    To make it all just disappear

    Believe in me
    I know you’ve waited for so long
    Believe in me
    Sometimes the weak become the strong
    Believe in me
    This life is not always what it seems
    Believe in me
    Cause I was made for chasing dreams

    Its my life
    Its my choice
    Hear my words
    Hear my voice
    And just believe

    I sit alone and watch the clock
    Trying to collect my thoughts
    And all I think about is you

    If you believe in me
    Life is not always what it seems
    Believe in me
    Cause I was made for chasing dreams

    Believe in me
    I know you’ve waited for so long
    Believe in me
    Sometimes the weak become the strong
    Believe in me
    This life is not always what it seems
    Believe in me
    Cause I was made for chasing dreams”

18. Sorry it’s so long. Oops. And the little curse word there. Sorry bout that too. :S

19. Both memories and fall for you are in my list of favorite songs. I eventually voted for memories.

20. This was TOUGH! *Sniffle* Why are there so many great New Moon songs? I had to look at all the lyrics and compare every little detail of my top four (Memories, Near To You, Thinking of You, and Almost Lover). Thinking of You won out in my opinion. It was too perfect. It mentions the apple, and it mentions his eyes! Wow. And it’s got the whole Edward/Jacob prediciment in the song. I knew most of them but I surprisingly voted for one I’d never heard of before………Oh well it fits, now to add it to my music playlists……. 🙂

21. When i first heard All Around Me months ago, my first thought was how perfect it was for New Moon. The song is about how the person can feel their love who is gone in everything they do and in every breathe there is in the world. The song is also perfect for the quote in the song “You said you would never leave me, i believed you i believed” So perfect cuase edward said he loved bella, but he left her and she suffered horribly.

    Hugs to all!
    ~Elizabeth

22. Have you guys never heard “Almost Lover” by A Fine Frenzy?? Minus a few words, the lyrics describe Bella and Edward in New Moon PERFECTLY. It even talks about hin singing her lullibies, it’s uncanny!

23. Wow! This was tough since there were a lot of great songs! After listening to the songs over and over and over and went back and forth between “All Fall Down” and “Near To You” …I eventually went with “Near To You”. When I heard the lyrics it was the one song that made me think of both Edward and Jacob from Bella’s perspective. In the beginning Bella was trying to heal the loss of Edward by being with Jacob, but at the end she ended up using Edward to try and heal the loss she felt towards Jacob. I dunno that’s just how I heard it.

24. lawl No Air. so not New Moon..or any Twilight books in general. I dislike Flyleaf very much…so i’ll go with Lifehouse…i guess

25. I love Lifehouse and I submitted Broken for the list but I have looked up all the lyrics to the other songs and now I’m torn between Thinking of You and Lifehouse. Both sets of lyrics seem to fit the ENTIRE book New Moon. wow tough call. So I voted for both. Is that legal?

26. LIFEHOUSE!!!
    none of them are ideal, really, and the fact that jordin sparks made the list tells you that the reason some better songs didn’t make it was because a large population of the voters were choosing radio hits. But what can you do, right?

    I thought about Hate Me but the song is so obviously about an alcoholic that i couldn’t really completely fit it with New Moon.

    Fall For You is SUCH a beautiful song but it doesn’t really describe the book as a WHOLE.

28. tehe, I only knew “No Air” so I voted for that. IDK what the other songs sound like 7 I was too lazy to listen to them. ^_^

29. all great songs…but i went with the first choice.

30. Within Temptation!!! OMG I’m so happy to see that there!!! I’m definitely voting for “Memories”!
    Leah: “Memories” is definitely NOT a radio hit. I’d be ecstatic if you could tell me a station that plays it. Ever.

31. I love “No Air” for this book! It always reminds me of it. Gah, New Moon<3

32. im so glad they put no air by chris brown and jordan sparks cuz i think thats exactly how bella feels when edwards not around. it sounds corny to quote this but it was hard for her to breathe her life revolves around him and i think that song is the best at describing bellas feelings. all i hope now is that that song wins. PLZ,plz,PLZ PICK NO AIR CUZ ITS DA BEST!!!!!!

33. Have you guys even listened to Broken? I mean, come on, No Air? *rolls eyes* Yeah, that is so New Moon.

    Did you maybe think the whole thing has a more Alternative feel to it? Seriously, I laughed when I saw No Air was in the top 10. Oh, no offense, it’s just my opinion on the song… and the genre.

    Broken fits it so well. I’m not talking about the lyrics, either (though the lyrics do fit, but not so specifically… just more vaguely). You can find lots of songs that have lyrics you could relate back to the books. I’m actually referring to the emotions the song gives off. Kind of depressing, a little desperate, and defeated. Exactly the way Bella’s feeling in New Moon. I hardly think No Air gives off those kinds of feelings.

    Also, Broken is so… slow and steady. And that’s what New Moon is. Bella slowly healing (kind of) with Jake’s help. Of course, it has all the climaxed action at the end (like any good novel) but New Moon always seemed like a fairly unimportant book in the series to me.
    Arguably, the Volturi found out about Bella, Bella found out about the werewolves, and Edward left Bella then went to commit suicide, but there were no ‘baddies’ to be fought. The battles were more emotional. Which is why it relates to Broken so well. It’s got a lot of depth to it. Listen to it if you don’t get what I’m saying.

    And there is my music/New Moon rant. Enjoy it.

34. Hey Dude, my daughter wants to donate to fund. How much have you collected yet?

35. Whenever I hear “Hate Me” all I think about is Edward, so that gets my vote!

36. woot katy perry and flyleaf :D:D:D

37. i was quite surprised to see A Fine Frenzy songs. I thought i was the only one who thought those two songs fitted New moon perfectly.

38. WOAH. That is crazy! I just downloaded A Fine Frenzy like 5 minutes ago. And those were the two songs I am absolutely in love with. I had no idea anyone had associated them with the Twilight serires.
    Anyways. I would’ve said Sun Comes Up by The Used fits New Moon perfectly. Seeing as Jacob is Bella’s sun. It’s a beautiful song. ♥

39. series*

40. Kaleb, how many times do we vote?

41. Some of these songs really embody New Moon. Though, personally, I like all the Rasums songs. They just seem to SCREAM Twilight Saga! Especially “Heart of Misery” and “Night after night”. The latter is Bella’s feelings for Edward after he left with things like “Like an angel you came… Watching me in my sleep… I wake up crying ‘Cos I feel like dying” They’re also full of anguish and so on. Very emotive. =]

42. ONE REPUBLIC.

43. OR LIFEHOUSE!

44. a fine frenzy is definitely the best choice…i looove both of the songs and either one of them would be perfect

45. i was so hoping Thunder would be there by Boys Like Girls. The lyrics are perfect because throughout the book, even though Edward wasn’t there Bella still heard the sound of his voice in her mind and never let the memory and love for him leave her heart.

    I decided to vote for Broken. Although I was torn between the two A Fine Frenzy songs as well. But at the end of this song there is a sign of hope, which is also at the end of New Moon.

46. i’m soooooo happy to see A Fine Frenzy TWICE on this list! i love them and Alison deserves the exposure =) both Almost Lover and Near to You would be great but Near to You is PERFECT for the New Moon situation. everytime i hear it i think of NM.

47. I’m going say this once more.

    Lifehouse needs some more votes! I mean, come on! What’s not to like?

    I had a huge argument with my friends today over the importance of lyrics vs the importance of the actual music. I ended up shunning one of my closest friends for the next 10 minutes. If there’s one thing I care about more than Twilight, it’s music.

    Seriously, though, everyone. Broken is an awesome song! I really urge you to listen to it before you vote.

    DO IT. 😀

48. I think for me ,I’ll go for FLYLEAF-ALL AROUND ME.. I think this fits to the whole story

49. I voted based on the most appropriate lyrics that summed up Bella’s feelings throughout the book and overall for New Moon. My choice was Katy Perry, Thinking of You.

50. I like them all. Its VERY hard to choose. Nice job Kaleb!
