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!

I LOVE Fall For You. But Thinking of You fits really well. So I’ll vote for both!
i have to say fall for you, becuz it talks about thir life, but then there’s katy perrys song!!!!!! its really hard to choose. i have to say katy perry. its mostly bellas story. its perfect for eclipse.
pressure (paramore) – bella’s song
thinking of you (katy perry) – bella x jacob song [you cant really get a better one than that!]
fall for you – sweeeeeetest song ever, its perfectly bella and edward at the end! 🙂
I was thinking that “Where’d You Go” by Fort Minor would be pretty bomb for this movie. Unfortunately I was too late when I found this site 🙁 Oh well.
I chose Secondhand Serenade. *nods* I think it fits to how Jacob feels about Bella, and how Edward does too. Pressure by Paramore would be a good one too. So I’m going to vote for that one too 😛
Wow, I need to do my music homework. I haven’t even HEARD of most of these songs.
Gahhh, I need to get out from under my rock…
I have to admit that I only know one. Fall For You is my choice, but I plan on looking at some of the others.
I picked my three.
Thinking of You by Katy Perry,
Pressure by Paramore,
and Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade.
haha i’ve picked my three but i had to look up all of the songs (except 2)…wow i need to do my music homework because i’ve been living under a rock
I like All Over You and Thinking of You but, since the book is from Bella’s point of view, I’m going with Thinking of You.
ugh… my to fav songs for the twilight saga
thinking of you and fall for you
now i have to choose!
***<3***A***L***I***C***E***<3***
Thinking of You by Katy Perry is THE SONG for Eclipse. It’s like it was made for it.
The three songs that I suggested made it to the finals. 🙂
I voted for Pressure by Paramore, Vindicated and Fall for You. They are all so good it’s hard to pick. I think especially Fall for you because Jacob keeps falling for bella throughout. I also really liked vindicated because Jacob told her almost at the beginning that she loved it and just didn’t know it. and perhaps she doesn’t end up with him but she at least admits it to herself. 🙂
“All over you” by the Spill Canvas is the most fitting for Eclipse. In this book, Edward and Jacob go to great lengths to win (or keep) Bella’s heart just like the singer proclaims to do. “Eclipse”, even the title alone forshadows a masking of one suitor over the other. Although Jacob (the singer) realizes that he has little to no shot in persuading Bella, Jacob still gives it his all to win her from Edward (“yeah he’s a looker”).
This novel exists in the series to illustrate that although there is another worthy canidate for Bella’s affections, no matter what that canidate does he can never amount to how much Edward means to Bella. Jacob and the singer are keep trying though.
Too bad Jacob will never get “to taste one more time”. She will only choose one at the end of Eclipse, but this song, just like the book, sets us up for Breaking Dawn. Will Jacob’s efforts finally be enough…”Why can’t she just love him back” in the final novel?
I don’t know what to choose, I’ve pretty much not heard of any of them!
Look to be good songs, but I don’t listen to this type of music, really. So, I will venture round YouTube to listen.
Neat list! I feel a little better than I did with the ones for Twilight and New Moon…I actually recognize some of these. XD
I believe write-in votes should be allowed. I would like to nominate “I’m Not Edward Cullen” by Hank Green.
DFTBA!
i’m disappointed the song i picked in round 1 didn’t make it…i mean c’mon people, mr brightside was just perfect
anywho….i picked thinking of you this round…
it’s so hard to pick one
thinking of you by kate perry all the way!!!!!!
🙂
Millionär by Die Prinzen…
ok… but what do the lyrics have to do with the book?^^
I think Secondhand Serenade’s Fall for You fits really well.
I can’t wait till you read Breaking Dawn Kaleb! It was my favorite after Twilight!
Looking forward to your book! 🙂
I chose Broken. It just made more sense. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have an annoying dog to take care of.
Still think David Gray was a better fit! Anyone who has never heard of David Gray go look him up!! Just AWESOME!!!!!! I voted for Secondhand Serenade…mainly cos I like the guys voice! LOL
I voted, and can’t wait to see the results!
Thanks
I voeted for the two songs below:
Broken by lifehouse
Becuase of Line: I’m hanging on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I’m hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be okay
it reminds me of how bella hears edwards voice when she puts herself into danger.
Fall for you by secoundhand**
Because of Line: This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I’d never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start
This reminds me of when Edward is back and what he is telling bella about being wrong for leaving.
The Katy Perry song would have been PERFECT for NEW MOON, but it doesn’t really fit Eclipse. The perfect love of Bella’s life is Edward and she doesn’t lose him in Eclipse, and this song is talking about losing the perfect love.
I had to vote for Muse, Falling Away With You is great for the ending of the book, but All Over You by the Spill Canvas captures Jake’s perspective perfectly.
Thinking of You is a good song, but it doesn’t really fit.
I think Pressure fits Bella’s perspective perfectly.
:DD
I think it should definitly be Falling Away With You. Personally, I don’t really like Katy Perry, though her lyrics are good.
Katy Perry “Thinking of you” easily. 😀
It’s lyrically perfect
I’ve only heard one of these…so that’s what I voted for. lolz.
Ok so like lol I didn’t know half of these songs so I actually just went and looked them all up and listened to and compared them all. And I was torn between the Lifehouse one and Katy Perry but I chose Katy. I think it fits really well.
Thank you, at least some people agree with me. I think Thinking of You would be perfect for NEW MOON, not Eclipse. I think Pressure will be great for Eclipse.
I’m going to say “Thinking of you” is pretty darn perfect
Reading the list, I immediately thought Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional.
It’s not just the lyrics but they way he sings it, the desperate way his voice cries
“and I’m flawed”.
Plus
“the diamond in your ring
cut to mirror your intentions
over-sized and overwhelmed
the shine of which has caught my eye”
Reminds me of Edward’s proposal.
After reading the other comments and the lyrics pointed out, my second and third went to Thinking of You by Katy Perry and All Over You by Spill Canvas.
I wanted to suggest Breaking The Girl by Red Hot Chili Peppers but I was too late.
I am going to vote for Katy Perry’s Thinking of You. In my mind ‘him’ is Jacob and ‘you’ is Edward. That’s the way I see it fits 😀
I think i’m gonna go with Thinking of You cuz I think, for the most part, it sums up New Moon pretty well and I don’t know the other songs all that well. So, that would have 2 b the song I would pick.
And also I just read Mattie’s comment and I agree with her…I think of the him as Jacob and the you as Edward.
Ok, i’m REALLY sorry I keep leaving comments but I just wanted 2 say that I just looked up Broken by Lifehouse and listened 2 it and I think that it would also b a really good choice 4 the song 4 New Moon. Ok I will stop leaving comments now!!!! Sorry I left so many!!!
I would have to say “pressure” by paramore and “Vindicated” by Dashboard Confessional. The rest are fighting for my number three spot. Idk.
–pwnage
I’m gonna have to go with Vindicated as my top choice. But I like Fall for You too.
And I really love Broken by Lifehouse and “Thinking of You” by Katy Perry. But to me both of those would have been way more perfect for New Moon. They mirror her relationship with Jacob when Edward’s gone and Bella’s originally trying to heal in my mind.
So yeah. Vindicated. Especially the chorus is perfect for Bella.
It’s hard to choose, since there are a lot of really good choices. =D
Love the song choices, Kaleb! Quite a few are on my homemade soundtracks (from that dark time when the movie was only dreamed of).
Also: Look for “the rep foreigner” on Flickr for a poster that looks shockingly akin to your picture setup
People! Vote for the songs based on the context of Eclipse NOT New Moon!
omg, i luv fall for you!!!!!!! i always cry b/c of the words. ITS PERFECT!!!!! (kaleb, i luv this website. i check it like, twice every hour. its amazing!!)
I absolutely love the songs choices! I picked my 3 but I truly hope “Vindicated” wins. I think it the best for everyone in the book.
