Thanks everyone for the multiple thousands of songs submitted to help me Pick The Song For Eclipse! I assure you, I had a wonderful time digging through all the suggestions, especially when many pranksters suggested songs like There’s A Tear In My Beer by Hank Williams Jr. or Millionär by Die Prinzen (I have a feeling I know who sent THAT one in…) 😀
Anyhow, I added up the top requested songs, and have put them in the voting box below. Please only vote a maximum of 3 times (I know, sometimes it’s hard to pick just one!). There are a few surprises amongst this list, though thankfully no one got too outlandish:
You can talk about what songs you’re voting for in the comments. That reminds me. Like with Round 1, I’m also giving away a prize to someone who comments here: one custom-made T-shirt from TwilightTShirts.com (you’ll even get to pick the design)! Good luck!

Yay! I put my vote in!
wow… those choices were hard.. !!
*entrance form for prize*

‘Thinking of You’ by Katy Perry is the PERFECT song. Look at these lyrics:
“Comparisons are easily done
Once you’ve had a taste of perfection”
&
“You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know
Cause when I’m with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes”.
OH! and:
“He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself”
One word: PERFECT.
♥Meg
Tough decision, but I love “Fall For You”
these are good!
i put my vote, or should i should votes in!
it was so hard to choose!
my votes were for the first two songs and the katy perry song
i love all the songs on the list, but these songs just stood out more.
Yeah the KAty PErry One.
Pressure by Paramore explains Bella’s point of view perfectly.
Don’t get me wrong, I really like the song Thinking of you and Katy Perry, but Bella was never really thinking of Jacob- or anything for that matter-when she was kissing Edward. She always loved Edward the most and wanted to spend the rest of her life with HIM and knew that.
I think that Thinking of You would be a PERFECT song for New Moon though.
Voted for Pressure by Paramore.
Because 1) I really like the band and 2) The song goes well with Eclipse 🙂
I have to agree that Katy Perry is the BEST choice! (As much as I love Muse)
the choices are SO hard!!
Katy Perry and paramore. This is also my entry.
I never thought about collide! I love that song!
I voted!!! (3 times)
I love Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional. I think it fits Eclipse perfectly.
The Lyrics really explain the love triangle in the book.
“I am selfish, I am wrong,
I am right, I swear I’m right,
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself”
Those lyrics could be from either Edward’s, Bella’s or Jacob’s point of view.
It just fits perfectly!
I chose Broken by lifehouse.
a) at one point Bella and Edward were broken. In someways litterally, and some mentally/emotionally
b)Collide is one of my fav songs but it doesnt capture the passion that is re-fired in Eclipse
c) “Im still holding” both edward and bella are stil holding on!
d) my second choice would be Thinking of You. It involves the three way triangle of people. I.E. Jacob, Bella, Edward
e) I love Pressure by Paramore, but at the same time its not about a love reuniting and growing stronger.
im not sure what im voting for yet, ill have to go and listen to all the songs tomorrow :]
i voted!=) it was hard to choose but i did
Those were some really good songs, but I narrowed it down and picked one lol. I love Secondhand Serenade
Fall For You. it goes with the book I do hope that gets picked 🙂
I can’t believe “Pressure” by Paramore is in there! I voted for it 3 times. They’re one of my fav bands. I got so excited when they announced they were dong songs for the soundtrack. Love that song. The music vids great too. They’re great live.
Man, I just read the lyrics that Megan put up for Thinking of You and I kinda wish I would’ve spent one of my votes on that now. I’m not a big fan of Katy Perry, but those lyrics fit.
I wish more people knew about the song The Lion and the Wolf by Thrice. I think it fits really well, a ton of symbolism in that song that relates to Eclipse.
Although, I think I was biased when I voted haha. Cuz I LOVE Paramore. “Thinking of You” is also pretty darn perfect…hm *sigh* oh well.
Oh, god, this is impossible… I with the Muse song, Vindicated, and Earth To Bella. E2B is one of my favorite songs, and the name makes me associate it with The Twilight Saga, but Vindicated is pretty perfect. Also, I’m a big Katy Perry fan, but it doesn’t fit. I wish we knew the song during New Moon though 🙁
i like those songs!!
omg i think my favs on there are Falling Away With You and Thinking of You… theyre both so perfect. agh i HAD to vote for both. may the best song win, lol
I think the song “Thinking of You” is amazing! but I think it is also good for New Moon. But my vote is cast!
“Thinking of You” is definately my favorite song!!!! It’s perfect for New Moon.
It’s my 20th birthday today too btw!!!!
That Katy Perry Song was PERFECT!!!
I’m kinda confused…i’ve read all the other comments from round 1 and none of those songs were on the forums…i guess taht’s from the clever ones who kept their votes a secret…i dunno which one I’ll pick because i’m still kinda confused on the choices…guess I’ll be hitting iTunes tonight..
I voted, but it makes me feel old when i only know the bands, but i never recognize the song titles. So i choose muse, because i love them and they are The Queen’s favorite band.
I’ve never heard some of these songs.Guess I’ll have to listen to them before I cast my vote.
those were some legit quality choices. i had to vote 3 times, but i think any of the three i picked are perfect =]
Yep… Look at me… I’m commenting again…. WOOOHOOO ROCKIN!!!
It’s so sad that I only knew 1 song on that list 🙁
I picked Broken by Lifehouse and All Over You. I’m excited to see which song wins!
I can’t wait to see what song wins. I like most of them!
It’s no question where my votes went. Vindicated! Love that song… and it’s perfect. A few of the others are too preppy.
Hey does anyone remember what the final song was for New Moon?
Pretty much all of those songs are good choices.
thinking of you by katy perry is a really good choice, i dont kno why i didnt suggest that one in the beginning… although i should probably listen to the ones ive never heard of first
I didn’t even think of Thinking of You by Katy Perry!! That is such a good song and it really fits! I am going to listen to the other ones first before i give it all my votes 😉
Hm, surprised “Near to You” by A Fine Frenzy didn’t make the cut. Ah well!
Foolish me, I have too much New Moon on the mind. Oops.
VOTED!!! w00t!
Collide (for some reason) makes me think of Chapters 22 and 23 specifically. 🙂
I really think, Thinking of you by Katy Perry is the song that should win!
I liked Vindicated, Fall for You and Collide. They’re more like Eclipse (to me at least) – the others were a bit New Moon-ish.
Great work in getting the votes sorted, Kaleb!
I chose Fall for You, Pressure and Collide. Although, Fall for You was my favourite, I couldn’t vote for just that one. I feel like Katy Perry could end up winning, seems a lot of the comments have voted for her. The song just seems more New Moon to me. Because that’s when Edward left (in the beginning of the song it is talking of someone leaving) and then she meets this other person (Jacob) but she can still only think of her perfection (Edward).
I do love Thinking Of You, but I kinda think its more appropriate for New Moon…… ya kno? I think I’m voting for All Over You (the lyrics are perfect and the song is amazing too.) And I love the song by Paramore….. and Fall For You is amazing…… AHHHH THIS IS SO HARD!!!……..I think I’m taking this way to seriously….. Ok so my votes go to All Over You three times, just keep it simple!!
HERE ARE THE LYRICS FOR
“ALL OVER YOU” It really makes me think about the whole Jacob/Bella relationship.
Yeah he’s a looker,
but I really think it’s guts that matter most.
I displayed them for you,
strewn out about from coast to coast.
I am easily make believe,
just dress me up in what you want me to be.
I’ll take back what I’ve been saying for quite some time now.
I gotta feel you in my bones again,
I’m all over you.
I’m not over you.
I wanna taste you one more time again,
I’m all over you.
I’m not over you.
In my daydreams, in my sleep,
infatuation turning into disease.
You could cure me, see all you have to do now
is please try.
Give it your best shot and try.
All I’m asking for is love,
but you never seem to have enough.
I gotta feel you in my bones again,
I’m all over you.
I’m not over you.
I wanna taste you one more time again,
I’m all over you.
I’m not over you.
This life is way too short
to get caught up in all this stuff
when I just want you to love me back,
why can’t you just love me back?
Why can’t you just love me back?
(why can’t you, why can’t you)
Why can’t you just love me back?
(why can’t you, why can’t you)
Why can’t you just love me back?
(why can’t you, why can’t you just love)
I gotta feel you in my bones again,
I’m all over you.
I’m not over you.
I wanna taste you one more time again,
I’m all over you.
I’m not over you.
This life is way too short
to get caught up and all mixed up
when I just want you to love me back,
why can’t you just love me back?
Why won’t you just love me back?
Why can’t you just love me back?
After a lot of internal debate… I chose Collide by Howie Day and Thinking of You by Katy Perry. Those two seemed to fit the best.
Also, YAY CONTEST!!!
Thanks Kaleb!
I love 3 of these songs 🙂
Was I the one who suggested Paramore? Coz i suggested 3 songs, and I think 2 of them were by Paramore and 1 by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, can’t remember :p
