Predictions on the New Moon Soundtrack

I’ve recently been listening to the soundtrack of New Moon on YouTube since I’m pretty excited to see the movie in a few days. I’ve probably heard all the songs about 5-10 times only, and I thought it would be fun to make some predictions on which part in the movie they will be used. One disadvantage is that I haven’t read New Moon in more than a year, so I can’t remember all the parts. Anyway, here are some of my predictions:

1) Meet Me at the Equinox by Death Cab for Cutie

– During an Edward hallucination.

– Before Edward exposes his sparkly self.

– During the closing credits. I’m only guessing this because Decode was the first single to be released from the Twilight soundtrack, and it was featured during the closing credits.

2) Friends by Band of Skulls

– When Bella is with the Cullens before her disastrous birthday party

– When the werewolves are together

– When Bella is talking to the boys in town while she is with Jessica

3) Hearing Damage by Thom Yorke

– When Bella meets Laurent in the meadow

– When Jacob puts the phone down on who he thought was Carlisle

– When Bella and Alice are on the way to the Volturi

4) Possibility by Lykke Li

– During the parade of St Marcus (maybe on a slow motion shot of Bella running through the crowd)

– When Bella first realizes that Jacob is a werewolf

– When Edward, Bella and Alice are walking together on the way to the Volturi

5) A White Demon Love Song by The Killers

– When Bella is spending time with Jacob

– When Bella is pretending to be happy for Charlie’s sake

– When Alice visits Bella after the Cullens leave

6) Satellite Heart by Anya Maria

– After Edward leaves Bella at the forest and she’s curled up on the ground in tears

– While Bella is in school or in bed, depressed and missing Edward

– While Bella is standing on the cliff before she jumps

7) I Belong to You by Muse

– While Bella and Jacob are happily chatting or doing something fun together

– While Bella, Jacob and Mike are in the theater

– When Bella, Edward and Alice are on the way home from the Volturi

8) Roslyn by Bon Iver and St. Vincent

– When Bella jumps off the cliff (in slow motion maybe)

– When Bella opens her eyes and sees that it was Jacob who saves her from fall

– When Edward begins to open his shirt to expose his sparkly self

9) Done All Wrong by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

– When Bella sees hallucinations of Edward

– Whenever Bella or Jacob are on their bikes (maybe because the artist’s name has “Motorcycle” in it)

– While Bella is in school or in bed, depressed and missing Edward

10) Monsters by Hurricane Bells

– When Edward and Bella are on the way to the birthday party at the Cullens

– When Bella and Jacob are on their bikes

– When Bella and Alice are on the way to the Volturi

11) The Violet Hour by Sea Wolf

– When Bella and Jacob are on their bikes

– When Bella and Edward are finally together again in her bedroom

– During closing credits

12) Shooting the Moon by Ok Go

– When Bella is with the werewolves (well, mainly because there’s moon in the title)

– When Jacob leaves Bella while they are having an argument

– When Jacob is in Bella’s room trying to tell her what’s wrong with him without breaking the rule

13) Slow Life by Grizzly Bear

– During a slow motion of Bella jumping off the cliff

– During a slow motion shot of Bella running to stop Edward from showing off his sparkles

– During closing credits

14) No Sound but the Wind by Editors

– When the Cullens are packing up to leave Forks (“We can never go home / We no longer have one…”)

– When Jacob saves Bella after she jumps from a cliff

– When Edward and Bella are walking together towards the Volturi

15) The Meadow by Alexandre Desplat

– When Bella goes back to the meadow alone

– While Bella is in school or in bed, depressed and missing Edward

– When Bella sees an Edward hallucination

Since I made three guesses per song (or a total of 45 guesses), I’m hoping I get at least one correct. We’ll see on November 20.

  1. I watched the movie on Friday, midnight (GMT+2) here in South Africa, I was so excited to see it, that I totally forgot to listen for the songs. All I really remember was the Satellite Heart song and Possibillity.

    Do you mind doing the whole song list for New Moon like you did with Twilight? That would really be super cool.

    Thanks.

  2. Thanks Anriette, I’m actually just trying to look for a site where I can watch New Moon via streaming so that I can do the New Moon soundtrack list. I was also too busy watching the movie to remember to take note of the songs. We actually remembered the same songs – Satellite Heart and Possibility, plus A White Demon Love Song during the closing credits. I don’t think any of my predictions were correct. 🙂

  3. I think “Done All Wrong” was the scene where Jacob and Bella had their big fight and their “break-up”. (I call it this because in the book Bella asked him if he was breaking up with her, lol.)

    Rosslyn was played during the actual break-up between Edward and Bella.

    Voilet Hour was during the birthday scene. This is what I remember from previous posts.

    I think The Meadow was played when she got to the meadow (excuse the pun), before she saw Laurent, but I could be incorrect, I can’t remember exactly.

    I can’t remember any of the other, I am so disappointed in myself for not remembering. Lol.
