Complete Song List from TWILIGHT 1 December 2008
Posted by Renette in Twilight, from Twilight.81 comments
Before seeing the movie, I decided to listen to all the songs from the Twilight soundtrack to familiarize myself first. I never did that before, preferring to enjoy everything about a movie for the first time when I watch it, but well, I guess I was way too excited about this particular film. Anyway, I loved every song in the soundtrack. The lyrics were appropriate, the melodies were haunting… so I decided to write a bit about each song (and provide YouTube links as well – please let me know if any of the links is not working) in the order that they were heard in the movie.
Full Moon (The Black Ghosts) – track 3 in the soundtrack
- This was played when Bella left Phoenix to live with Charlie at Forks, up until she got to her room. The lyrics were particularly appropriate, since the song talked about leaving. “And I don’t know where I’ll go / And I don’t know what I’ll see / But I’ll try not to bring it back home with me…”
Eyes on Fire (Blue Foundation) – track 9 in the soundtrack
- This was played when Bella was waiting for Edward at the parking lot so that she could confront him about his creepy behavior the day before. Not only was the title of the song great for the scene (which opened with a close up of Edward’s flashing black eyes), but the lyrics represented Edward’s initial struggle with wanting to kill Bella. “I’ll seek you out / Slay you alive / One more word and you won’t survive…”
Tremble for My Beloved (Collective Soul) - track 7 in the soundtrack
- This was played when Edward saved Bella’s life by stopping Tyler’s truck that was about to crash into her. Again, the song they picked for this scene was very well-chosen. “The hour has begun / Your eyes have now opened / To a world where madness craves / To a world where hopes enslaved / Oh, I’ll tremble for my love always…” Indeed, the hour has come for Bella to realize that there was something supernatural about Edward, and for Edward to realize that he was beginning to fall in love with a human.
I Caught Myself (Paramore) – track 8 in the soundtrack
- This was played while Jessica and Angela were trying on prom dresses at Port Angeles, with a disinterested Bella looking on. The lyrics didn’t really match the scene per se, but it reflected the mental and emotional climate of Bella at that time. “You got it, you got it / Some kind of magic / Hypnotic, hypnotic / You’re leaving me breathless…” After reading the leaked draft of Midnight Sun (a retelling of Twilight from the point of view of Edward), I realized that the song reflected the mental and emotional climate of Edward as well.
Never Think (Robert Pattinson) – track 10 in the soundtrack
- This was played during Edward and Bella’s momentous conversation over dinner at Port Angeles, after he saved her life again from the men who were about to attack Bella. This is one of my favorite scenes because Edward was beginning to open up to Bella about who he is and how he feels. I also loved the fact that the song was composed and sung by Robert Pattinson (the actor playing the role of Edward Cullen) himself. It was the perfect song because it talked about Edward’s dilemma of wanting Bella to avoid him, and wanting Bella to love him. “Girl save your soul / Go on save your soul / Before it’s too far gone / And before nothing can be done / Cause without me / You got it all…”
Spotlight – Twilight Mix (Mute Math) - track 5 in the soundtrack
- This was played during my favorite scene in the movie: Edward and Bella coming to school together for the first time. Who would have imagined the book Edward to wear shades, but movie Edward really looked like a rockstar in this scene. A rockstar vampire. I loved how he was smiling smugly, proudly showing off the plain-looking Bella on his arm. “The spotlight is on…”
La Traviata (The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) – included in the bonus tracks
- This was played when Bella first visited Edward’s house, while the Cullens were making dinner for her.
Clair de Lune (The APM Orchestra) - included in the bonus tracks
- This was played when Bella turned on the CD player at Edward’s room, and they danced for a while.
Bella’s Lullaby (Carter Burwell) - track 12 in the soundtrack
- This was played when Edward carried Bella to the top of the trees to show her the sights, and continued to the scene where he was playing the piano for her. I really like the haunting melody, and the fact that Robert Pattinson was really the one playing the piano in the scene. There’s another “fake” version of Bella’s Lullaby which is actually “River Flows in You” by Yiruma. I wonder why they didn’t go for that one, I really liked it a lot. Oh well.
Supermassive Black Hole (Muse) – track 1 in the soundtrack
- This was played during the baseball game at the field right until James, Victoria and Laurent came to spoil everything. The lyrics doesn’t exactly fit the scene, but the rhythm and the music sure did.
Let Me Sign (Robert Pattinson) – included in the bonus tracks
- This was played when a pained Edward decided to suck the venom out of Bella’s wound himself, not knowing if he can find the will to stop, in order to save her from becoming a vampire like him. The song runs throughout Bella’s dream sequence during her near-death experience. This was a very haunting, painful song, and again, it’s by Robert Pattinson. What a musician that guy is. I’m not exactly sure what the phrase “let me sign” means though. Let me sign in the petition to become a vampire? Heehee.
Go All the Way [Into the Twilight] (Perry Farrell) – track 6 in the soundtrack
- This was played during the prom, when Edward led Bella to say hi to her old friends Jessica and Mike, and Angela and Eric. “Tonight / Lightning strikes / Let’s go into twilight!”
Flightless Bird, American Mouth (Iron & Wine) – track 11 in the soundtrack
- This was played during the prom, when Edward and Bella were dancing alone at a gazebo. She wanted to know why he didn’t let her become a vampire too, and couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t end her life. The song captures Edward’s dilemma – he wanted to have Bella with him for eternity, but he didn’t want to end her life as a human. “Have I found you / Flightless bird / Jealous, weeping / Or lost you / American mouth…” I don’t exactly get what the American mouth is about, but who cares? The music was perfect for the scene.
15 Step (Radiohead) – not included in the soundtrack
- This was the first song used for the credits, when Victoria was walking down the stairs after watching Edward and Bella dancing. I suppose the lyrics are appropriate for Victoria – “How come I end up where I started…”
Leave Out All the Rest (Linkin Park) - track 4 in the soundtrack
- This was the second song used for the credits. I’ve always liked Linkin Park, so I was glad that they have a song in the soundtrack. “When my time comes / Forget the wrong that I’ve done / Help me leave behind some / Reasons to be missed / Don’t resent me / And when you’re feeling empty / Keep me in your memory / Leave out all the rest…”
Decode (Paramore) - track 2 in the soundtrack
- This was the third song used for the credits, and is the first single released for Twilight. This is the song with the most appropriate lyrics for the story, since the composer actually wrote this about Edward and Bella. “But you think that I can’t see / What kind of man that you are / If you’re a man at all / Well, I will figure this one out / On my own (I’m screaming, ‘I love you so.’) / On my own (My thoughts you can’t decode)…”
Complete Song List from STEP UP 2 June 2008
Posted by Renette in Step Up 1, from Step Up.15 comments
I think it’s part of my (slightly) obsessive-compulsive nature to want to find out everything about my current “obsession.” Since STEP UP is currently on the top of my list, I bought an original DVD and downloaded the soundtrack within 2 days of first seeing the movie. I have been listening to the soundtrack nearly everyday on my way to and from the office.
It’s a lot of fun to listen to, but I kept thinking I would prefer a CD containing all the songs from the movie in the order they were played. For some reason I never thought to check out the list of songs in the credits, but thankfully found this song list from IMDB provided by blackbirdfly@gmail.com. The scene descriptions and links were from me though, plus a couple of minor corrections on the list:
Petey Pablo – Show Me The Money (included in the soundtrack)
This was played during the opening credits where they interposed scenes of dancers doing ballet and hip-hop to show how dancing has inherent similarities.
Clipse – Ain’t Cha (included in the soundtrack)
This was played during the opening party scene at Omar’s, when Skinny bugged Mac (who was making out with a strangely deep-voiced woman) to leave the party saying, “This party’s whack.”
T I – Get It
This was played in the scene you can call “Where Tyler’s At,” which was the first time we see Tyler dancing (and with PJ’s girlfriend too)! This song should have been included in the soundtrack, in my opinion.
Dolla – Feelin’ Myself (included in the soundtrack)
This was the song Tyler listened to when he headed straight to his room (“I’m not hungry”) after getting 200 hours of community service.
Kathleen Crees – Violette
This was played while Tyler was on his balcony looking outside, after telling his foster sister Camille to get out of his room.
Jeanette Ortea et al – Maidens of the Grove
This was the song being sung by the three girls in the hallway of MSA, when Tyler first got there.
Nuttin but Stringz – Canon in D
This was the song played by the violinists in the hallway of MSA.
Black Sheep – The Choice Is Yours
This was played while Tyler was dancing in the parking lot in his “garbage man jumpsuit,” when he noticed Nora watching him from a window.
Mark Ronson – Little Dap
This was played when Tyler, Mac and skinny were playing basketball at the court.
Shilo Monaco – Shilo’s Piano
This was the song played by the student practicing on piano while Principal Gordon was looking on approvingly. According to the DVD commentary, this was really the composition of the guy playing the piano.
Ron Feemster - Cleaning Song
This was played while Tyler was cleaning MSA and being a jerk about it.
Fatboy Slim and Macy Gray – Love Life
This was played when Nora was auditioning sophomores to be her temporary partner while Andrew was out injured, which was one of the funniest parts of the film. This should have been included in the soundtrack I think.
Chris N Drop – Crazy Strings
This was played while Nora rehearsed alone, waiting for Tyler.
C. Ride – Pushin’
This was played while Tyler and the boys were going to Omar’s, and found out that them “dudes froze out.”
Chris Brown – Say Goodbye (included in the soundtrack)
This was played while Lucy and Nora were talking in the cafe about Nora being so defensive and denying her feelings about Tyler.
Samantha Jade – Step Up (included in the soundtrack)
This was played during the montage of Nora and Tyler rehearsing. There were lots of funny scenes there. It was also used in the Step Up Dance Contest.
Josh Henderson – Philosophy
This was the song that Brett (Nora’s soon-to-be ex-boyfriend) was recording in the studio with Miles when Tyler came in late for his rehearsal with Nora. I wish this was included in the soundtrack so that we can hear the entire song.
Kwame B. Holland – Tonight
According to the website where I got this from, this was the new song Miles played for Nora, and was used during the group rehearsal (when Tyler found dancers to do back-up for Nora, so she could have it the way she imagined her routine to be). This is kind of weird though, because I think it was ‘Bout It. I’ll have to watch the movie again and check.
Gina Rene – U Must Be (included in the soundtrack)
This was played in that magical rooftop scene where Tyler and Nora danced. This has got to be one of the best scenes in film history.
Jamie Scott – Made (included in the soundtrack)
This was the song Lucy’s older, “sophisticated” boyfriend Colin performed in the club. I love this song. Interestingly enough, Colin’s real name Jamie Scott is also the name of the son of my favorite TV show couple (Nathan and Haley from One Tree Hill). Another case of my favorite worlds colliding (the other case is Coach Carter. Channing Tatum was in the movie, which was written by Mark Schwann, the creator of One Tree Hill, and also starred Antwon Tanner, who plays Lucas’ best friend Skills in the show).
Sean Paul & Keyshia Cole – Give It Up to Me (included in the soundtrack)
This was the song played after Colin and his band took a break. He met Tyler and convinced Miles to play with them, while Nora arrived and headed to Tyler. Channing Tatum (who plays Tyler Gage) and Jenna Dewan (who plays Nora Clark) appeared in the music video and did a really cute dance sequence.
Drew Sidora featuring Mario – ‘Til the Dawn (included in the soundtrack)
This was the song Lucy performed in the club, when Nora asked Tyler to dance. He didn’t know it was a line dance, and fumbled through the steps at first, then ended up showing off his dance skills. My favorite scene in the entire movie!
Drew Sidora featuring Mario – For the Love (included in the soundtrack)
This was played while Lucy (played by Drew Sidora) and Miles (played by Mario) were talking after the performance. This was the song on the background when Tyler and Nora finally had their first kiss.
Kelis – ’80s Joint (included in the soundtrack)
This was played during Tyler and Camille’s dance-off while playing with a ball. FYI, Camille (played by Alyson Stoner) is actually the amazing kid dancing in the music videos of Eminem’s Lose It (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) and Missy Elliot’s work it.
Novel – Damn
This should have been included in the soundtrack! This was played during another montage of Tyler and Nora rehearsing and goofing around.
Anthony Hamilton – Dear Life (included in the soundtrack)
This was played after Tyler and Nora’s major fight, because Andrew came back and Tyler had to drop out of the showcase.
Pitbull – Toma
This was played during the party scene at Omar’s, when Mac said “All these girls and he [Tyler] don’t feel like dancing.”
Rhymefest – What Up!
This was also played during the party scene at Omar’s.
Ryan “Alias” Tedder – Attention Please
This was also played during the party scene at Omar’s.
Youngbloodz – Imma Shine (included in the soundtrack)
This was the song Miles played in Omar’s party, to which Nora did lyrical jazz (her favorite style of dancing according to her audio commentary) and Tyler did hip-hop. This was also the song playing when Skinny got shot.
Tchaikovsky – Swan Lake Waltz
This was the song the ballerina was dancing to during the showcase.
Young Joc – ‘Bout it [instrumental] (included in the soundtrack, but with vocals)
This was the song used during the showcase. What a way to end the movie!
Ciara – Get Up (included in the soundtrack)
This was played during the closing credits where they included submissions from the dance contest. Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan also appeared in the music video wearing black leather.
