This song plays during Bella and Edward’s prom dance in the first movie and again during their wedding. “Flightless Bird, American Mouth” – Iron & Wine And it’s one that probably spawned thousands of first dances and walks down the aisle at early 2010s weddings, too. “Turning Page,” however, is a certifiable love song, through and through. I think a lot of the songs on here reflect more than just romance they can speak to ennui, loneliness and a host of other existential conflicts. This particular track is less intensely haunting and more spunky, and I think we’re all better for it.Īgain, really balancing out the haunting-to-spunk ratio. I’ve probably listened to this song hundreds of times by now, and it wasn’t until I got to the triple digits that I was able to actually recognize any of the lyrics that’s how much this collaboration knocks me out.
Perhaps my favorite song from the entire soundtrack, I’ve received several concerned texts regarding my Spotify activity since I discovered it: Specifically, “Why have you been listening to the same exact song from the Twilight soundtrack for the past three days?” Beach House’s Victoria Legrand’s distinct, stirring vocals match the cinematography, and the melancholy that underscores the entirety of the film it’s featured in, New Moon, perfectly.

Vincent’s Annie Clark said when discussing with Pitchfork how the song came to be on the soundtrack. I think if I had this soundtrack, if my 13-year-old self could’ve been exposed to Grizzly Bear, I probably would’ve been a little further along and probably better off,” St. “We were basically all suburban tweenagers at a point.
I’ll be honest, hearing Radiohead’s “15 Step” in the first Twilight movie made me resentful because it feels like vampire fantasy love stories and In Rainbows operate on different planes of pop culture existence, but the sooner you stop resisting, the sooner you can embrace Thom Yorke’s surprising solo track featured in New Moon. “Hannah Hunt,” “Diane Young,” you know the drill. I’ve personally never traveled to Isle Esme for my honeymoon after leaving all my loved ones behind, ostensibly forever, so that I could begin my new immortal life with my soulmate by my side, but listening to this song on repeat as I drive to the Starbucks that is 15 minutes away instead of the one that is two minutes away because it has a drive-thru option and I have nothing better to do with my time? Could’ve fooled me otherwise.
