Carter Burwell composed and orchestrated the score for Twilight over a 9- to 10-week period, and it was recorded and mixed in about 2 weeks in late September 2008.[84] He began the score with a "Love Theme" for Bella and Edward's relationship, a variation of which became "Bella's Lullaby" that Robert Pattinson plays in the film and that is included on the Twilight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.[84] The original theme is featured throughout the film, and serves to "play the romance that drives the story".[84] Another theme Burwell composed was a "Predator Theme", which opens the film, and is intended to play Edward's vampire nature.[84] Other themes include a bass-line, drum beat and distorted guitar sound for the nomadic vampires, and a melody for the Cullen family.[84] Twilight: The Score was released digitally on November 25, 2008, and in stores on December 9.[8] The score album had sold 218,000 copies in the United States as of June 2010.[85]
So whether Muse's Supermassive Black Hole often reminds you of that iconic baseball scene, you visited author Stephanie Meyer's website for the premiere of Paramore's Decode or you're just generally feeling nostalgic, the Twilight soundtracks will surely have you reliving feelings of teenage angst.
The Twilight soundtrack was a huge hit, becoming the best-selling soundtrack in the US since Chicago and receiving a Grammy nomination. Rock band Paramore wrote the lead single Decode for the album, which premiered on Twilight author Stephanie Meyer's website and won a Teen Choice Award.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon's soundtrack comprises entirely of original songs exclusive to the soundtrack, once again performed by a selection of indie and alternative rock artists. Death Cab for Cutie wrote and performed the lead single this time, which was titled Meet Me on the Equinox and premiered at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
To truly date this film, the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was released in an all-day reveal event on MySpace in May 2010. Muse returned once again, this time contributing the lead single Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) which reached number 11 on the UK Singles chart.
The first not to feature any Muse songs, the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 nonetheless saw two singles released: It Will Rain by Bruno Mars, and A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. It Will Rain was released exclusively on iTunes and reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, while A Thousand Years has received over two billion views on YouTube where it is a popular cover song.
The final soundtrack for The Twilight Saga featured the likes of Ellie Goulding, St Vincent and James Vincent McMorrow, with Green Day providing the lead single The Forgotten. Christina Perri's A Thousand Years from the previous film's soundtrack was re-recorded with vocals from theatre star Steve Kazee and appears in the end credits.

Down Time is an LA based indie rock band that has created a diverse body of material ranging from low key bedroom ballads to dense psychedelic grooves. At the core are timeless rock songs guided by the imaginative and soul-baring lyrics of frontwoman, Alyssa Maunders. The songs are close and intimate while also producing thorns; they capture the complexities of the human spirit, the best and worst of our kind.
To provide you with visual feast, below is a video I put together last year. The last half features twilight song, but not videotaped in the twilight. It just so happens that the twilight song pattern often occurs during aggressive encounters, or the case of my video, after performing a song playback to entice the male to come into view.

Some of these early photos of the band practicing were in the rec-room of that 90s rental home. I lived there for many years and the home was host to many colorful characters and a place where some wonderful songs were written.

Robert Pattinson is a cinematic jack of all trades. You name almost any scenario under the sun, and he's probably depicted it on the big screen: compete in the Triwizard Tournament, explore the Amazon rainforest, lead the cops on a merry chase through New York, traverse the vacuum of space, lose a grip on reality at a 19th century lighthouse, travel through time to aid John David Washington, and protect the citizens of Gotham City. Quite the filmmaking resume, wouldn't you agree?
