the music of twilight

Music: Twilight Soundtrack



Nothing makes me more happy to be alive than finding new music to fixate on! Case in point…the Twilight Soundtrack. (I suppose I had to give my Dark Knight Soundtrack a rest eventually …and I am currently reading the book)

Immediate obsessions…Full Moon by The Black Ghosts and Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation. I have never heard either of these bands and I am eager to check out the rest of their music.

Full Moon Lyrics

when the thorn bush turns white that's when I'll come home
I am going out to see what I can sow
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

Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone
Our intentions always last that bit too long

Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and you're still there
Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you're still there

In the full moons light I listen to the stream
And in between the silence hear you calling me
But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been
And If I come home how will I ever leave


I love every line in this song. The singer has this haunting voice that I love to sing along with...and it is hard to keep still with the jaunty sound. The strings evoke Celtic undertones that make me melt.

Eyes on Fire Lyrics

I'll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won't survive
And I'm not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour

I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I've got nothing for you to gain

I'm taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace

I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I've got nothing for you to gain

Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze

And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace

Felling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace
Felling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace


I equally love this song. Another haunting voice transports me to another place not of this world. Like I am wondering in a dream.

Favorite lines:
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace



More to come as I continue to enjoy...
