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!
- Ludo – The Horror Of Our Love
- Enigma – Gravity Of Love
- Kirsty Hawkshaw – Beautiful Danger
- Secret and Whisper – You Are Familiar
- Evanescence – Listen To The Rain
- In This Moment – When The Storm Subsides
- Flyleaf – All Around Me
- Plumb – Always
- The Cure – This Twilight Garden
- Juliana Hatfield – Close Your Eyes
- Nine Inch Nails – We’re In This Together
- Matchbook Romance – You Can Run, But We’ll Find You
- Thrice – The Red Death
- I Am Ghost – This Is Home

Ooooooh….very nice.
Very nice collection! I wish the whole songs were available, like for flyleaf. Thanks!
I actually like your lists over those chosen by Stephanie Meyer and the people that produced the Twilight Soundtrack. Damn you, now I have to purchase new songs in iTunes. (j/k)
Cheers!
Glad you liked the songs Em. I did these for all of the books, I hope you got a chance to check all of them out. There are a lot of songs on each of them that I feel fit the mood and story a lot better than a lot of the songs associated with the Twilight series.
Mike, I tried to get a collection of your list together and I can’t seem to find a copy of Evanescence’s “Listen To The Rain”. I thought I had all their music. Apparently not in this instance. Would you be able to share with me where I can secure a copy of the song? Thanks.
Em, this is probably going to be a hard one to find. It was released on Evanescence’s album that came out before ‘Fallen’ that I believe was on an independent label. I’m thinking the only way you’re going to find it is if you try the illegal download route simply because the album is no longer in print to my knowledge.
