Please Don't Tell Me That This is All I Talk About

i would like to deny my obsession with Twilight. the movie. but i can't...let's make that clear first.

that being said...this will be probably the billionth post about something related to it. plus i need to let you all in on my thoughts about the movie - which i will be seeing again on saturday.

so i gave you a brief intro the movie's soundtrack with my last post about Paramore's "Decode." the thing is...basically all the songs on the soundtrack rock just as much. they have sort of a haunting tone. underlying with pain and edginess. it goes right along with the feel of the movie. i don't know...its hard to describe, but amazing. let me go through the list...

1. Supermassive Black Hole by Muse

it's just a cool song. nothing i would normally listen too. and the melody is haunting. it sounds like the harmonies are almost grinding against each other in like a 7th stretch - okay i can't remember the real musical name - but you might get my drift.

2. Decode by Paramore

we've already talked about this...

3. Full Moon by The Black Ghosts

i can see where it is clearly in the film, and i like that. its more of an acoustic vein...which sets itself up nicely against more techno, rock, bluesy tracks.

5. Spotlight by Mutemath

i always heard i should like this band...now i know why.

8. I Caught Myself by Paramore

i LOVE this song. i love it more than decode. it makes me want to be in love again. its great. i found myself numerous times throughout the day breaking the rules of my blown-out speakers and cranking this song while singing to it at the top of my lungs.

9. Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation

sounds like Tegan and Sara...which is interesting. there is a mixing of melodies over the top of each other which is an awesome affect, and then there are those haunting harmonies again.

10. Never Think by Rob Pattinson

i didn't know he could sing. he can. and i like it. his voice is a bit of John Mayer, but more painful. and i can't really understand him, which is a bit charming. plus its a good mix between the other songs...this is more the blues. and pain. same with "Let Me Sign" his other track on the disc (#13)

11. Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine

i forgot how much i loved this band and then i heard this song. its amazing. and now i'm asking for their cd. so simple. soft. and i just keep picturing the end of the movie, because that's where it comes in. the melodies are great, and there seems to be an accordion or something similar playing on the 2nd verse, which is awesome.

if you'd like to hear what i'm talking about for yourself...you can preview all the songs here on Amazon. happy listening!
