Comment:

The sensation that is Twilight — the books, the movies, the millions of dedicated Twihards — might never have come to life if it weren't for music. Even casual fans know that Stephenie Meyer was inspired by great songs when she created her passionate world of mortals, vampires, and werewolves; today, that music is a crucial component in deepening the drama. The menace and romance, the pitfalls and redemption — it's all there in the turbulent scene-setter that is Muse's "Take a Bow" and the sweet, solemn vow of Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into the Dark," in the dark intensity of Paramore's "Decode" and the heartfelt plea of Cee Lo Green's "What Part of Forever." And it's why we've created Songs From Twilight Essentials, with tunes from Meyer's own playlists as well as soundtrack standouts that bring the saga to life—all you have to do is press play.
