Here is the place to list your feelings and responses, and analysis of these Twilgiht related songs.
In honor of the romantic week I have included two fan songs. The song links are at the top of the blog but here I have included a link to the lyrics to each song. I have different ways I like to experience each song. Some I like to follow the lyrics, others I don't. I will recommend not watching the youtube video when first experiencing the songs. It can hamper the Twilight connection for me anyway.

I am bugged that my computer still won't play music...so I'll have to wait until Joseph gets home to use his laptop...darnit!!
Well, since I couldn't hear songs, I decided to read through the lyrics...First Time - so awesome!!! I completely picture Bella and Edward's relationship when I read these words. You are truth - same thing...so deep and magical. I know the Dreams song by the cranberries, so I could kind of hear it in my head. Because it is familiar to me, I couldn't really picture it for TW - wierd I know, but nonetheless, not my favorite!
I agree, the words to First Time are amazing. But be warned. The music will take you by surprise. It might take twice through to like it. It's upbeat and very modern. It sounds like a ballad but no.
I won't comment too much on these because I like to wait for all of you.
But Dreams has a very Twilighty sound to it, for me. Maybe its because I really try to hear what SM must have heard. This is definitely a song that you have combine music and lyrics. Its not just the lyrics that make this song work, at least for me.
So now I love it. It is so Bella and Edward for me. You know we love the preface of Twilight about "a dream so far beyond your expectations". That is what I hear.
I really liked the First Time song - it is going on my playlist!
It reminded me of the beginning of B&E's relationship. Maybe after the meadow when Edward is more optimistic & hopeful. I liked the lines about how they are both looking for something, but, at the same time, afraid to find it. And - "holding my breath"- how can you not think of Bella? The line, "feeling alive all over again" reminds me of how Edward tells Bella she is reawakening all of his human instincts.
Haven't listened to the others yet, but I will...
And does anyone think the Lifehouse lead singer could make a good Jasper?
Still here, by myself, I guess.
I finally read the lyrics to Dreams & threw it into my CD player. I knew some of the lyrics, but I needed a refresher. So, this reminds me of after James is killed in Twilight. Where B&E are hopeful again.
Maybe this was the song Bella & Edward dance to at the prom that was a little fast for slow-dancing (after Jacob leaves). I could handle slow-dancing with Edward to this song!
Ok, I'm a SUPER big loser and haven't been on the blog for a few days. I was so excited to see "First Time" on the music list!!! I love it, love it, love it! I listen to it atleast once a day to keep me in a Twilight-y mood. "Looking at you, holding my breath. For once in my life I'm scared to death. I'm taking a chance letting you inside." It just makes me think of Edward. The whole thing, really, makes me think of him and how his relationship with Bella is all new to him. Ooh, and "feeling alive all over again" I know he talks about that somewhere in the book how all these human emotions are suddenly awakened within him. I'll shut up now, but just know that I absolutely love this song!
Thanks for recommending this song Jill. The more I hear it, the more I just love it! I am so, so, so happy that you said hello tonight. The blog is not the same without you!
I do like the lead singer, but no use picturing Cullens anymore. For me at least. I found a great Edward the other day, but quickly put it out of my mind.
I'm glad everyone enjoyed the songs. I loved them all. Ditto to what was said about "First Time". It sound like it was written for Bella and Edward.
Ahh, but TM, those are just actors in the movie. The real Cullens are still out there, lying low.
I am really loving all the songs that play on the blog - they make it even more fun!! I feel like I'm about 2 months behind everyone else with catching up on the blog - I've really missed a lot, obviously....
