- Muse, “I Belong to You” [New Moon Remix] (The Twilight Saga: New Moon) Muse’s “Supermassive Black Hole” — which plays in the baseball scene of the first film — was a major music moment, and it’s no surprise that the band was asked to contribute to the second and third soundtracks for the franchise.
- Paramore, “Decode” (Twilight) “Decode” isn’t on Spotify (nor is the rest of the first Twilight soundtrack), but that’s okay, because it just gives you an excuse to watch the music video.
- The Black Keys, “Chop and Change” (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) One of the best rock songs in the series, “Chop and Change” sets the stage nicely as evil vampire Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) begins her plan to form an army and attack the Cullens and Bella.
- Grizzly Bear feat. Victoria Legrand, “Slow Life” (The Twilight Saga: New Moon) “Slow Life” plays during the underwater scene in New Moon, right after Bella jumps off a cliff in order to try and evoke her preserved memory of Edward.

It’s natural for background compositions to be a bit boring relative to more commercially viable tracks. However, “Who Are They?” really takes the cake of mundanity. The song plays a few times throughout the movie, notably accenting Bella‘s first glimpse of the Cullens. Rather than evoking a sense of curiosity, though, it just makes us wonder how o...
Before you go thinking we don’t appreciate orchestral music, let us clarify that we can vibe with good instrumentals. Read on and you’ll see that composer Carter Burwell contributed some great ones to the soundtrack. With that said, there were quite a few that missed the mark. “The Most Dangerous Predator” is played after the famous sparkling scene...
Let’s just say that if we were to walk into a house with this atmosphere, we’d turn around and leave. We’ll cut Bella a break for failing to notice the frequencies of non-diegetic music, but that doesn’t excuse the track. Seriously, how else could you describe this apart from “vaguely vampiric elevator music”?
Does that bastardization of the word “fascination” make anyone else’s eye twitch? It’s a good thing we’re not ranking titles or else we’d be stuck here for a while. Admittedly, “Phascination Phase” is a noted improvement relative to some other parts of the score. While there are some captivating technical elements, however, the melody lacks any sor...
There’s no shortage of potential behind “In Place Of Someone You Love.” In fact, it could have been really successful in driving the energy behind Bella’s encounter with James if it weren’t so subdued. It’s certainly not the worst track in the film—it just lacks intensity compared to some of the better ones.
“Complications” marks the transcendence of the score from “Eh” to “OK, that one works.” The track is definitely an ambience driver, effectively building tension as Edward passes by Jacob and Billy. We’re not going to lie: We wouldn’t hate if this one backed any of our real-life rivalries. Still, we probably wouldn’t go out of our way to casually li...
Now we’re really starting to rise up in the ranks of easy listening. While there’s nothing particularly gripping about “The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb,” it’s good background music. Stripped of some of the more agitating frills present in the aforementioned tracks, it’s marked by pleasant simplicity. We’re not recommending you add it to your co...
“Edward At Her Bed” has a similar charisma to the previously mentioned track but adds a bit more flavor. While still well-suited for easy listening, it boasts a captivating contrast between its different tones. Granted, it’s not necessarily the song we’d opt for while falling asleep in the arms of a lover. Given the general atmosphere of the movie,...
“I Dreamt Of Edward” is a pleasant song, even if there’s not much going on. The charming melody is laced with melancholy, driving the star-crossed romantic energy of the film’s plot. Add it to the growing list of technically effective songs we can appreciate without adding to our regular rotations.
Maybe it’s just our inner goth speaking, but we love a good dose of existential dread. “Stuck Here Like Mom” boasts a bit of darkness behind its soft, intricate melody. It’s a great accentuation of the feelings driving Bella’s forced decision to leave Forks. Though, honestly, we’d argue that you don’t need the context for a keen sense of its evocat...
