Breaking Dawn Soundtrack: Team Deer Edition

The Breaking Dawn Soundtrack will be released on November 8th. I looked over the song list, and after much humming and hawing about not being able to listen to it yet, I created my own playlist loosely based off of the artists chosen for the soundtrack, and mostly based off of song title. Also, I added Muse (duh) and removed Bruno Mars. I bet mine is better.

you can find this at http://grooveshark.com/#/teamdeer

Popinjay - The Joy Formidable (popinjay reminded me of mockingjay... I got nothin.)
Fasten You to Me - The Belle Brigade (A classic wedding song if I ever heard one)
Invincible - Muse (This song is not about the bedframe.)
Sister Rosetta - The Noisettes (This song is actually on the soundtrack... I think it fits.)
Situation Gone Bad - The Features (Its just a few feathers...)
Next to Me - Sleeping at Last (Bella tries to show Edward the bright side of things)
Nothing to Dread - The Noisettes (This song is about the bedframe)
Stark White Stork Approaching - The Features (Wait, where do babies come from?)
Black and Blue - Christina Perri (Ouch!)
One Last Time - Thelophilus London (I don't know. Jacob's joyride montage?)
36 Hours - Aqualung (One Vampire, coming up!)
Seven Nation Army (cover) - Hard Fi (Bella's Vampire montage)
Butterflies and Hurricanes - Muse (A good segway song into the Volutri half of the story)

Pop Revelations: Part 11

Oh, the 90s. Your music suits Edward so well. Broody, melodramatic, bouffant, and looking oh so good in flannel.

Iris (As in golden irises?)
The Goo Goo Dolls

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
























And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to bite you tonight


And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Not everything's made to be sparkley
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in my lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive








And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everyone's made to be bitten
I just want you to know who I am

Eclipse Soundtrack: Rolling in on a Burning Tire

Just because the lyrics mention a full moon and waiting a long time to die and stuff doesn't qualify it to be on the soundtrack. But Jack White's creepy and forceful riffs are pretty awesome. Ok, your song can be about Edward.

Eclipse Soundtrack: A Million Miles An Hour

This song title sounds like the answer to a naughty riddle about Edward.

But anyway....

This is a song about lost love, and makes more sense for New Moon, but I guess it could be about Jacob. The only reason it doesn't really seem like it's about Jacob is that it sort of sounds like it's being sung by an old miner (not an old minor like Edward, hahaha). Seems like it's more about Jasper. In cowboy boots, ma'am.

Eclipse Soundtrack: Chop and Change

"She found no love in this town"?

FALSE.

Have they not been paying attention? She fell in love with two hot boys in that darn town. Two hot boys who fell in love with her too (and probably with each other)!

Two.

One, two.

One plus one is two.

PS What is chop and change? Chop and change is an idiom meaning to keep changing what you do or what you plan to do, often in a way that is confusing and annoying for other people. Also false. Bella is annoying, but she is quite constant in her motivations.

Eclipse Soundtrack: With You in My Heart

Ooo, this one might be about the newborns!

no giving into taking more but still still feedin',
you're clearly disturbed,
all you want is allegiance

It's pretty cool I guess.


Edward, contemplating newborns.

Eclipse Soundtrack: What Part of Forever

Oh, it's another little song about Jacob, wanting to run away with Bella, or just run away.

Why do they all sound so old-timey??? This one has whistling.

Eclipse Soundtrack: Life on Earth

Do you think they wrote a song that uses less than 10 words (including "la") on a dare?

Eclipse Soundtrack: Atlas

"It's all at bats now."

RBatz

WTF? I have no idea what this song is about but it's quite catchy. Oooo ooo ooo!

Eclipse Soundtrack: My Love

Seems like this song is about sacrificing all kinds of stuff for love. Which Bella actually won't have to do. She gets stuff she didn't even know she wanted, and doesn't lose anything. But that's another story for another movie or two.

Eclipse Soundtrack: Heavy In Your Arms

You calling me fat?

Eclipse Soundtrack: How Can you Swallow...

...So Much Sleep.

Get your mind out of the gutter! The name of the song is How Can you Swallow So Much Sleep.

These lyrics are SO Edward. Can I wake you up indeed!


And yet, WTF does this mean: Could you bag me up?

Eclipse Soundtrack: Jacob's Theme

Oh! He gets his own theme! He deserves it.


This song is very pretty, like him. I can totally see Edward and Bella making out to this...I mean...um...yeah.

Eclipse Soundtrack: The Line


This song is like the battle song of the Cullens. I can totally see Rosalie on bongos and Emmett plinking away on the bass.

Curious light projects these apparitions
In a slow dance
It beats like heart beats

Do they want to stay connected
To the solemn man


You know. Before they muster the werewolves and run off to meet the newborn army.

Eclipse Soundtrack: Eclipse (All Yours)

I can't stop now, indeed!

Eclipse Soundtrack: BECK!

This is the second of two songs about the infamous night in Edward's bed where Bella comes to her senses. While The Bravery's "Ours" is more about a frozen moment in time, let's not forget, blah blah blah a la Good Riddance, etc. this song is about two people who would prefer to disappear together entirely. It's ooozing sexy.


Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden and wild as the wind blows

And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Holy crap, is this song about Edward or is this song about Edward?

Subtle? Not even a little bit! Hot? Heck yes!

Let me come closer, I'm not your shadow

Um, ok. SWOON!

Let's get lost, Edward!

Eclipse Soundtrack: Ours

This song by The Bravery is the first of two songs on the soundtrack about the night Bella comes to her freakin' senses and agrees to marry Edward. This one is pretty cool and will probably therefore become everyone's prom song about a frozen (hehe), sparkley moment in time, and then everyone will learn to loathe it.

In the meadow again, all alone.

Eclipse Soundtrack: Vampire Weekend

Just because your band name is Vampire Weekend doesn't mean you are qualified to sing Edward's soundtrack. Would they have gotten this gig if their band name was, I don't know, Citizen Dick?

Eclipse Soundtrack: Muse

Having already hyped our beloved Muse and their place on the third of three Twilight soundtracks (here and here), we won't go into more details except to further confirm that they are awesome.

But what follows is a series of Team Deer's thoughts on the other Twi-songs on the new soundtrack. Oh yes! Prepare yourself for themes of eternal love, eternal life, making a choice, leaving something behind, and beginnings/endings.

Oh!

And making out.

Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) (In a Tent)

Since the new Muse song is clearly about Bella and Edward, it's no fun to dissect. Therefore, let's pretend it's more complicated!

Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) (In a Tent)

Edward:
I was searching
Jacob: you were on a mission
Both: Then our hearts combined like a neutron star collision
Jacob: I have nothing left to lose
Edward: You took your time to choose
Both: Then we told each other with no trace of fear that

Bella: Our love would be forever
Jacob: And if we die, we die together
Edward: But lie I said never [Edward chuckles]
All: Cause our love would be forever


Bella: The world is broken, halos fail to glisten [Like Edward's skin]
We try to make a difference but no one wants to listen
Hail the preachers, fake and proud
Their doctrines will be cloud
Then they'll dissipate like snowflakes in an ocean [Edward and Jacob look confused. What's Bella going on about now, gosh?]

All: Love is forever and we’ll die
We’ll die together
Edward: Lie, I said never
Jacob: Cause our love, could be forever
