As is tradition on this site, the time has come to pick the song for Eclipse!
For each chapter I have written about, I have picked a song that I think best fits the mood and scenes in that part of the book. However, as with my final reviews of Twilight and New Moon, I am letting you, the loyal readers of my site, pick the final song that you think BEST FITS WITH THE ENTIRE NOVEL as a whole.
The voting will take place in two parts: the first will be suggesting songs, for one week, and then the second will be voting from the top ten most suggested. You can nominate up to three songs per person, and can also choose songs that were already used for chapter posts — use the form below to start sending them in!
There will perhaps also be certain epic prizes for people who send in suggestions and comment on this post: though I can’t quite reveal what they are until February 28 (oh wait, I’ve said too much…). Have fun!

Prizes for people who leave comments and I’m the only one so far? Did I miss something? Is everybody dead?
lol, nope Betsy, I’m here. I chose Dance Floor Anthem by Good Charlotte, especially since I think it fits Jacob’s POV of this book pretty darn well. Two more suggestions to go…..
i want prizes…. (please please please let it me robert in a box)
haha let it be not let it me.
sorry.
I would say that Wait For You by Elliot Yamin represents Jacob in Eclipse, Big Girls Don’t Cry represents Bella talking about Jacob, and over all I think Time is Running Out by Muse is a song for Edward.
I think Burnin’ up by the Jonas Brothers,
“I’m hot, you’re cold” -Jacob and Edward.
“Walk in the room, all I can see is you” -Jacob and Edward could both say that about Bella
sorry Kaleb, I bet you think the Jonas Brothers are lame.
Arrgh, I can’t decide!
I am dying to know the contents of that magic box!!! But I don’t want Rob Pattinson or his hair.
Hmm… tricky, tricky. I think Wait For You is a really good choice – it kinda just screams “JACOB!”. But then it’s still two songs to go… I have a week, though^^
Hey 🙂
I chose All Hail the Heartbreaker by the Spill Canvas. It fits Jacob’s POV really well.
I am going crazy trying to figure out what is in this box 🙂 Any box that glows is a box that I want 😉 LOL
I like all Hail the Heartbreaker or Playing for Keeps by the Spill Canvas. But I also think that Cat & Mouse by Redjumpsuit Apparatus really shows the Jacob & Bella whirlwind in this book. So does All Over You by Spill Canvas. There are so many that I love for different points in this book: Five Minutes to Midnight by Boys Like Girls for the graduation party. Cat & Mouse for Bella & Jacob right after he hears about the engagement at the Campsite. All Over You by Spill Canvas for any point that Jacob tries to stay away yet be right around Bella (this one will also work well for Breaking Dawn – Kaleb 🙂 )Oh TOO MANY!!!
Sweet! Can’t wait to see what the prizes are!
I really think the song Clocks by Coldplay is a great choice to represent Eclipse.
A Second choice would def. have to be Time is Running Out by Muse. Its a great song to sum up Eclipse from Edward and Bella’s POV. Also Muse has had a huge influence on Stephenie and the series, so its only fitting that a Muse song should make the top ten!
I think a Fine Frenzy is really great! A lot of their songs can relate to the twilight series!
i put my life would suck without you by kelly clarkson, and conspiracy by paramore. it is really hard. in my head i have a hundered songs for twilight new moon and breaking dawn, but eclipse being my least favorite in the series i have only read it once so i have like no ideas
I put up Don’t Go Away by Oasis…I could see it working from Jake, Edward and Bellas perspective (in my head at least!)
I did 3 different ones because I couldn’t pick just one!
“The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot” by Brand New (Bella talking to Jacob)
“Luv” by Travis (Jacob talking to Bella)
“Gravity” by Sara Bareilles (Bella’s feelings about Jacob)
I know I picked all Jacob & Bella-y songs, but I feel that the changing relationship between them is very very key in this book!
I really hope at least one of those makes the final cut! Even if they don’t, you should really check those songs out, Kaleb! They are awesome and quite fitting for this book!
Ooooo I want to know what is in that magic box!
I need to think about a good song…
I’m going to do two. I have a lot on my iPod, but these two are awesome. I had to stop looking through them before I submitted 50 lol.
Endlessly – Muse
The Lion and the Wolf – Thrice
I don’t know if we can submit more than one with the form, but I’m going to try. I hope my entries won’t be canceled since I did more than one =/
I really think “total eclipse of the heart” by bonnie tyler is a good choice 😀
I spent a lot of time looking for songs in my ipod lol. but i still think there are other songs… i cant decide…
Oh gosh, is it whats in the box??? you must have a lot then….. :] well, i suggested a song and im commenting, so ha !
hmm, I’ve always found eclipse to be the hardest one to put music too, twilight and new moon are easy, so many songs about falling in love and breaking up…3-way relationships, not so easy.
here are my picks:
Rihanna – Hate That I Love You (we shall ignore the other contributor, evil SOB)
Three Days Grace – I Hate Everything About You
Muse – Time is Running Out (works for every book)
I want whatever is in that box…I don’t care, the suspense is killing me!!
Shiny box O.O ooooooo…
I think that Paramore’s I Caught Myself fits Bella and Jacob in Eclipse better than Bella and Edward in Twilight. why is it on the Twilight soundtrack??? Why???
I <3 magic boxes!!!!! Thought I <3 Edward a gazillion times more!!!!!! <3
Go team Edward!!!! <3
I put Blind by Lifehouse for Jacob. I love Lifehouse! And Jacob!
I thought “Utan dina Andetag” by the Swedish group Kent would be a fantastic choice!
I quick outtake from the song:
“I know you’re sleeping
feel the heat from your skin
just the smell makes me weak
but I dare not wake you now.”
Alright, I’ve sent in three songs that I believe are perfect for Eclipse.
We’ll see. 🙂
I can’t wait see which song is chosen!
I’m sure it’s been said before but I think Hot n’ Cold by Katy Perry would fit best. I mean even though Katy Perry is a little bit to “pop-ish” for Eclipse it’s still one of the best fits. The lyrics are great if you think about it. I mean not only is Jacob Hot and Edward Cold but Bella is on and off about whether she really wants to get married. And then you have Bella who is on and off about Jacob. The song just fit’s with this book in a lot of different ways.
Oh and… I like prizes=)
I was very tempted to say Hot N’ Cold by Katy Perry, but I thought it was too…superficial? I don’t know the right word. Haha 🙂 It’s just that Bella is in and out a lot in the book. She can’t make up her mind about anything. And, you know, Jacob’s hot, and Edward’s cold. Haha 🙂 But I eventually made up my mind to submit Hysteria by Muse. That song really conveys every character really well. And gosh, do I want to see what is that box! I just about died when you said I had to wait 5 days to find out! Now it’s like, what? Three days? Still too long! I’m an impatient person 🙂
Well, I suppose I’m a bit biased when picking a song, because I’m Team Jacob, so I naturally pick one that represents Jake and Bella’s relationship in this book…
But anyway, my song is Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy. I know that A Fine Frenzy got the song for New Moon too, but they just really represent these books to me. And that song makes me cry almost every time I hear it, because I think of that line in Eclipse when Jake and Bella kiss and she imagines their life together, with their children running and all the possibilities(page 529 hardcover). Then that makes me think of another song: My Never by Blue October. I know it hasn’t been released yet so you probably can’t choose it, but I heard it when I was at the Breaking Dawn Tour, and I just broke down.
Those two songs really symbolize a lot about how I see that relationship, and just how hard and tormenting it really is.
So yea, those are my picks. And by the way, prizes are kinda AWESOME. Just saying… 🙂
i love By Your Side by Tokio Hotel and i thought it was a good pick for how Jacob felt throughout the book. 🙂
I really had a hard time picking! So far, I’ve got Time Is Running Out by Muse, and The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot by Brand New… I’m still looking through my ipod though…
Yay! Kaleb’s almost done with Eclipse! I’m so excited for him to read Breaking Dawn, which is my favorite book in the saga (minus DHN, which pwns all the rest). I sent in my song suggestions and can’t wait to discover the epic prizes.
I chose… ‘Always Attract’ by YouMeAtSix (Its reminds me of the triangle- indecisions), ‘Disappear’ by Anberlin (ITS LIKE… WRITTEN FOR TWILIGHT OR SOMETHING O:) And ‘Happiness’ by The Fray (Bella. Thats all I can say xD)
I Am amused by boxes now, BTW
Everywhere I look, there’s one behind me
Stalking much?
And I still remember ‘the secret’ 😀
xzx
And I forgot to add – A majority of songs by The Fray and Anberlin are totally awesome for the Twilight Saga. Keep that in mind xD
I chose Bruises by Chairlift. I’m not sure, though. Some of you all have really good pics. Best of luck to all!
I chose Full Circle by Miley Cyrus (totally works for the whole 3 way relationship), Tattoo by Jordin Sparks (Bella and Jacob’s back-and-forthness), and Peace of Me by Natashe Bedingfield (I <3 Edward and Bella!).
I was really tempted to put in Nobody’s Perfect by Hannah Montana. That is sooo Bella!
Can’t wait 2 see the top 10!
I think Hot and Cold by Katy Perry might be a good song. It doesn’t really sound like a song that relates to the Twilight books. But if you listen to the lyrics, it does.
wow…so many comments within a couple of hours…and r u acctually gunna give prizes to EVERYONE who comments and submits a song? That would be AWESOME!!! I picked Toxic by Britney Spears…don’t know why I did but everytime i hear the song it reminds me of Twilight cause it’s about an addiction to a guy(and Bella is VERY addicted to both Edward and Jacob)I also chose 17 forever cause it remindes me of twilight all the time!(even the title of the song) hope u like the suggestions:)
A Drop in the Ocean – Ron Pope
Take a listen:

From Jacob’s point of view.
also a quick outtake from this song:
“I was praying that you and me might end up together. Its like wishing rain as i stand in the desert. But im holding you closer than most, cause you are my heaven.”
Another couple songs from Jacobs point of view:
– Sorry by Maria Mena (I know its girl singing about a guy that can’t love her but think about jacob and how bella can’t love him).

How to save a life – the fray
Rascal Flatts-Winner at a losing game
“Tryin’ to make somebody care for you
The way I do
Is like tryin’ to catch the rain
And if love is really forever
I’m a winner at a losin’ game”
blind – lifehouse
“When my love for you was blind
But I couldn’t make you see it
Couldn’t make you see it
That I loved you more than you’ll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go”
All Over You by The Spill Canvas
And i could just go on and on haha, but ill stop here :).
too many songs to choose from, I can’t decide! argh. I’ll just wait til Round 2 and go back to writing term paper now… *sigh*
I love seeing who wins these! They’re amazing! 🙂
I had to look through my Twilight Saga playlist on my iPod to find a good one. I’m thinking Hot N Cold by Katy Perry also. It was the first song that came to mind when I looked at the triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob. Looks like it’s turning into a popular one.
I didn’t say what I put! I think Stolen by Dashboard Confessional and Switzerland by The Bella Cullen Project should win!
I said “Clocks” by Coldplay as well. Honestly, I don’t think Katy Perry works for any of the Twilight books. I don’t really like her. But hey, that’s just me.
I do like prizes!!!
mr.brightside is in my opinion the best song choice for eclipse because it about a love triangle and the pain it brings about….perfect for bella, jacob and edward
i want a prize!
Prizes! we get prizes for commenting?! awesome! now i just have to figure out the best songs for the book…hmmm. well i have a week to think about it 🙂
ok so i just thought of a song that sums up how both edward and jacob feel about bella…
“All For You” by Sister Hazel
but i can think of 2 more
I said Hot ‘n Cold by Katy Perry. I used to be a freakin Twilight zombie. I can quote Twilight MLA format. I’m a nerd, too. =] I think the whole “Twilight Craze” and grammar, character, POV, and learning how to write changed my views on the Twilight Saga. (I hope I get flamed for this. Flames are so creative. They bring out the best in everyone.) So anyway, somebody mentioned that My song choice was “superficial”. It’s not, really. It describes the physical differences between Edward and Jacob, and the way that both Edward and Jacob pull towards and away from Bella.
Probably most of the songs I fit won’t be said by anyone else 😛
