As some of you regular readers and friends will know I have an extensive collection of online mix tapes, nearly 50 created to date. 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 on Mixwit which includes all of the tracks that I could find, and I have listed a full track list below. Since Beautiful Danger by Kirsty Hawkshaw was not available through Mixwit I have linked to the Last.fm page where you can listen to the whole song. Sadly I was unable to find an alternate source for You Are Familiar by Secret and Whisper. Regardless I hope you enjoy!
