Like many young females, I must admit that I am a fan of the Twilight Series. It was my mother who shoved the books down my throat, even upon my insistence that I was not interested. There are times when I think I might have been better off never having read them because they are like crack but what is done is done.
The New Moon Soundtrack
comes out tomorrow, October 16th, 2009 and I have been fortunate enough to have had an oppurtunity to listen to the tracks prior to it's release. I was a little concerned on my first listen that I wasn't really going to get where these songs would fit in with the book with the exception of Bon Iver & St. Vincent, Thom Yorke, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Grizzly Bear and Editors. If you don't know anything about the book, I can tell you that it is a very sad, heartbreaking story. And the likes of Muse just didn't fit the story that I remembered. So to give a more objective opinion, I reread the book and then relistened again. After reading the book again, I have to say that the soundtrack makes a decent companion to the book. Band of Skulls "Friends" has been stuck in my head for days now and though I am not sure where they will be placed within the movie, I really don't care. I can say that I enjoy each and every track on the soundtrack. The last song of the soundtrack is a piano piece by Alexandre Desplat. This piece of music is hauntingly beautiful and has almost ripped my heart out on each listen.
