"Twilight" playlist

I started to send you an email about this but decided it should be a blog entry instead. If you haven't already, check out Stephanie Meyer's website. Not only does she explain her inspiration for the story and why she choose Forks, but she has a playlist of music that she listened to when writing each novel - pretty cool! She says:

I can't write without music. This, combined with the fact that writing Twilight was a very visual, movie-like experience, prompted me to collect my favorite Twilight songs into a sort of soundtrack for the book. This list is not chiseled in granite; it transforms now and again. But, for the moment, here's the music I hear in my head while reading the book:

The Twilight Soundtrack:

1. "Why Does it Always Rain on Me?" — Travis
2. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" [video edit] — My Chemical Romance
3. "Creep" [radio edit] — Radiohead
4. "In My Place" — Coldplay
5. "By Myself" — Linkin Park
6. "Dreaming" — OMD
7. "Please Forgive Me" — David Gray
8. "Here With Me" — Dido
9. "With You" [reanimation remix] — Linkin Park
10. "Time is Running Out" — Muse
11. "Dreams" — The Cranberries
12. "Tremble for My Beloved" — Collective Soul
13. "Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)" — Billy Joel


She does this for each book - I may need to hit iTunes and do some downloading this weekend!

Also, regarding the lack o' Edward, Alicia says "hang in there!"

Interesting... I went to amazon to see what's on the actual movie soundtrack and it doesn't include any of those. Thanks for sharing. May spend some time this weekend purchasing some MP3s myself. (Funny how my "no plans" weekend is suddenly filling up!!)
