Twilight Movie Soundtrack

The soundtrack to the vampire romance movie, Twilight, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 having sold 162,000 copies. Twilight is the first soundtrack to hit #1 in advance of the movie's release in six years and only five other soundtracks hav EVER done it before.
Not to be missed are the bluesy songs by lead actor, Robert Pattinson, who plays the character Edward Cullen! The album also includes songs by Paramore, Linkin Park, Collective Soul, and more.
The movie, released November 21st, 2008 is based on Stephanie Meyer's popular series of books.
The books are best-sellers, the CD is #1. The movie was a smash hit?
Bring on the sequel!

Update 

As of 3/26/09

The Twilight rebounds from #14 to #3 on the Billboard 200, after the release of a new deluxe edition, which includes five bonus tracks and a DVD with interviews and music videos. (The sales tallies for the standard and deluxe editions are combined.) The release of the Twilight DVD, which reportedly sold 3 million copies on its first day of release, also revived interest in the soundtrack. This is the album's 13th week in the top 10. That's the longest run in the top 10 for a theatrical movie soundtrack since the Eminem--dominated 8 Mile had 14 weeks in the top 10 in 2002. Twilight has remained in the top 20 for its entire 20-week chart run. It's been the #1 movie soundtrack for 17 of those weeks. This week, its sales top 1.5 million copies. Why it's a hit: Stephenie Meyer's series of books have a strong, cult-like following. The movie was a big hit, with domestic gross of $191 million. And the album has a clear focus (on rock), rather than containing a hodge-podge of musical styles.

A Little Background 

(just in case you've been living in a cave)

Twilight is an action packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan has always been a little bit different and when her mother sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen, a boy unlike any she's ever met. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for: a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward and Bella do when James, Laurent and Victoria, the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her? This is the first movie from the book series from author Stephanie Meyer. The series are currently some of the most popular books written for young adults, with sales exceeding 50 million copies worldwide since the Twilight debut in 2004 and over 7.7 million copies sold in the U.S. alone. The fourth book in the series, Breaking Dawn, was released on August 2, 2008 and sold over 1.2 million units on the first day.

[disclaimer: i do not own this song and in no way am i trying to pass it as my own] I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins All of your straight blind eyes wide on my plastic toys Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere Have I found you Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth Big pill looming Now I'm a fat house cat Nursing my sore blunt tongue Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks Pissing on magazine photos Those fishing lures thrown in the cold And clean blood of Christ mountain stream Have I found you Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth Big pill stuck going down May 20, 09 Update: 1,510,540 OH MY BATTER!

Let Me Sign - Robert Pattinson 

Bonus Track 1

Robert Pattinson - "Let Me Sign" (w/Lyrics in "more info")

A video inspired by Rob Pattinson, the man and his music. "Let Me Sign" is written by Marcus Foster and Bobby Long. Arranged and performed by Rob Pattinson. For more information (New Music, Tour Dates, etc.) on Marcus Foster and Bobby Long as well as the "OFFICIAL" lyrics to the original song written can be found at their MySpace links below. Show them you're love and support! Check em' out! http://www.myspace.com/marcusfoster http://www.myspace.com/musicbobbylong LYRICS: (from the original and edited for content) Ohh Ohh Oh She was standing there by The broken tree Her hands are all twisted She's pointing at me I was damned by light comin' Out of her eyes she Spoke with a voice that Disrupted the sky She said walk on over here To the bitter shade I will wrap you in my arms And you'll know you've been saved Let me sign Let me sign Note: As mentioned in the above discription, this video features Rob Pattinson THE MAN and his music, not the character he portrays. Rob was doing music way before Twilight. ('I have been playing the piano for my entire life --since I was three or four and I used to play classical guitar from when I was about five to twelve years of age. Then I didn't play guitar for years. About four or five years ago, I got out the guitar again and just started playing blues and stuff'. ~ Quote taken from "The Robert Pattinson Album" a biography by Paul Stenning.) His voice is reminiscent of the likes of Van Morrison and Jeff Buckley (two of his favorite artists), hence his raw, bluesy, folksy sound. Rob has a very soulful voice that touches you deep within....you can really feel it in this song....it gives me chills. I selected pictures of him not smiling, somber,....he looks like he has a lot on his mind. As far as the pictures of him smoking (don't judge!).....it just fit the mood of the song or at least my interpretation of it. I imagined him at the beginning where you hear this gritty guitar chord, having a smoke out back to take the edge off, before going on stage to perform and of course having one to relax after performing. He looks so James Dean. Check out Rob's other songs on YouTube. He has been recorded (unknowingly) singing in some clubs. Look for the following songs; "I Was Broken", "I'll Be Your Lover Too", "To Roam", "Stray Dog", "In Your Head" and an almost full live version of "Let Me Sign". Some recordings are clearer than others. My favorite is "I Was Broken", he sings it with so much heart and soul! As you may know, this bit was recorded specifically to be used for a scene (ballet studio) in the movie "Twilight". However, it was not included on the soundtrack (or at least not the one that I purchased). My guess is that this may have been due to the track being so short and only having one verse performed. But again this is only speculation. I don't think they knew at the time how powerfully moving this brief song would come to be. There is no longer studio version at this time. I hope someday Rob will be able to re record this song in it's entirety. Truly poetically beautiful! What does the song mean? Interpretations are subjective, but here is some food for thought. My take is that a person is so enamored with another that they would "sign" their soul over to the devil just to be with the object of their desires even if for just one night. ************************************************************************* The following are the official lyrics to the original song written by Marcus Foster and Bobby Long and can be found on their respective MySpace pages. She was standing there by the broken tree Her hands were all twisted she was pointing at me I was damned by the light coming out of her eyes She spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky She said ' Come on over to the bitter shade, I will wrap you in my arms and you'll know you've been saved' Let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign. I was out for a drink in a soho bar The air was smoked out liked a cheap cigar She rose out of her seat like a painted ghost She was the woman that I wanted the most As she reached for my arm I gave her my hand I said 'Lay me down easy let me understand' Let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign. As I walked through the door she was still in my head As I entered the room she was laid there in bed She reached out for me all twisted in black I was on my way down, never coming back let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign. let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.
