UPDATE: If you are here looking for a review or information about the New Moon Soundtrack I have written a New Moon Soundtrack review over at Where Is Edward Cullen?

Though I finished the book over a week ago, and created the actual mix on 16th I have yet to provide a full track listings for my New Moon soundtrack.  New Moon is the second book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, and continues the adventures of Bella Swan a teenager in Forks Washington who has fallen in love with a vampire.

As I mentioned in my last post, one of the reasons I started reading the series was because I wanted to create soundtracks to the books.  As I finish each book I will create my interpretation of what the soundtrack to the book would be.  I will list a complete track listing here on my blog, and will compile a “mixtape” version of the soundtrack, with as many tracks as I can find, on Mixwit.com.

Regular readers and friends will tell you that many of my mixtapes are lyrically driven.  This applies to these mixes as well.  The majority of the tracks you will find in my Twilight mixes will feature lyrics or themes that somehow tie in to different parts of the book.  I was able to capture the majority of my New Moon soundtrack on an imeem playlist which you can listen to below the tracklist.  Death Lies Bleeding’s cover of The Cure’s A Forest is not available on imeem, however you can find the track on 100 Tears: Tribute to the Cure.  I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I enjoyed creating it.

My New Moon Soundtrack

As some of you regular readers and friends will know I had an extensive collection of online mix tapes on Mixwit, nearly 50 to be exact.  You’ll probably also know that some close friends of mine have surrounded me with the craze of the Twilight Saga.  I fought the craze for a while, but then when I found out the author had created a playlist for a book I was intrigued.  Then when I discovered that a close friend had created her own soundtrack to the book I became that much more intrigued.  I finally gave in and decided to read the books on the premise that I would also create my own soundtrack for each book as I completed it.  Earlier this week I finished the first book in the series, Twilight.  I had originally hoped to use my favorite mixtape site Mixwit to generate a soundtrack that I could share, but sadly I couldn’t find all of the songs I wanted to use.

Most of the songs I felt capture emotions from the story and parts of the storyline really well lyrically.  A couple of them were used solely based on the feel of the song and pieces of lyrics.  But I tried to pick songs that were lyrically driven since that’s how many of my mixes are created.  I hope to eventually be able to present this in a full audio format, but for now this is the best I can do. I’ve put together a Twilight Mix with imeem which includes all of the tracks that I could find, and I have listed a full track list below.   Regardless I hope you enjoy!

1. Ludo – The Horror Of Our Love
2. Enigma – Gravity Of Love
3. Kirsty Hawkshaw – Beautiful Danger
4. Secret and Whisper – You Are Familiar
5. Evanescence – Listen To The Rain
6. In This Moment – When The Storm Subsides
7. Flyleaf – All Around Me
8. Plumb – Always
9. The Cure – This Twilight Garden
10. Juliana Hatfield – Close Your Eyes
11. Nine Inch Nails – We’re In This Together
12. Matchbook Romance – You Can Run, But We’ll Find You
13. Thrice – The Red Death
