Here's the beginning of a selection of songs that illustrate the Twilight Saga quite well, in my opinion. Now, I haven't read Breaking Dawn, so I'm going to focus on Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. Here we go! First, here are some songs that describe Edward's point of view. (You really should listen to these songs as you read the words. They're really good ones!)


"The Day Before You" by Rascal Flatts
(Twilight)

I had all but given up on finding
The one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready to settle for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was all the day before you

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
Makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you
Oh, but Heaven knows those years without you
Were shaping my heart for the that day I found you
If you're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you, yeah

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

Was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never going back
No I'm never going back

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
(No I'm never going back)
I will never have to go back to
Yeah, I will never have to go back to
The day before you
The day before you


"If Ever I Could Love" by Keith Urban
(Twilight)

I used to cry out in the middle of the night
Baby hold me tight
There was nobody beside me when I opened my eyes
Now I've turned the corner on those days and nights
Now something inside me changed and I think I might be starting over
I don't wanna run
Oh no, cause you might be the one, baby

If ever I could love, I think it could be with you
If ever I thought I'd find somebody so true
I wonder if you feel the same way that I do
If ever I could love, I think it could be with you

You know I can't read your mind my love but it seems to me
Your heart and mine tonight are defying gravity
Something so familiar and still so unknown
The closer that I get I swear it feels like coming home
I'm ready to be brave
Oh yeah, When you look at me and say, baby

If ever I could love, I think it could be with you
If ever I thought I'd find somebody so true
I wonder if you feel the same way that I do
If ever I could love, I think it could be with you

If ever I could love, baby
If ever I could love
If ever I could love

If ever I could love, I think it could be with you
If ever I thought I'd find somebody so true
I wonder if you feel the same way that I do
If ever I could love, I think it could be with you

I still never forget when the baby came and she walked out of my life
And got hurt so bad
I swore I'd never let another get inside this heart of mine
But she touched my hand and everything plan I had disappeared like a falling star
Now there's a new beginning and I'm moving to the rhythm of an even braver heart
A braver heart
If ever I could love, oh oh
If ever I could love, yea yea


"Helplessly, Hopelessly" by Jessica Andrews
(Twilight)

I can stand with the weight of the world on my shoulders
I can fight with the toughest of the tough
I can laugh in the face of all my insecurities
Anytime, anywhere, anything
I'm strong enough

But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love

So let consequence do what it will to us
I don't care
Let the stars stand as witness to it all
Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere
I just can't pretend anymore
I'm too sturdy to fall

'Cause when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love

I am not afraid
I am not afraid

'Cause when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling...
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love


"I Did It For You" by David Cook
(New Moon)

Today's not the same
As every day
It's far from ordinary
The pain I endure
You're my cure
But my mistakes have led me
Far away from you...

You turn away
From all those things
That I've been trying to say
And all those promises
I shouldn't have made
I did it for you

Mile by mile
Feelings I just can't reconcile
My heart's on a string
These broken wings
Who knew I'd be so fragile
Far away from you...

You turn away
From all those things
That I've been trying to say
And all those promises
I shouldn't have made
I did it for you

I searched my soul
And all these feelings
That I can't control
And you're the one thing
That can make me whole
I did it for you

Try to let you know
Try to let you know
Try to let you know...

Today is not the same
As everyday
It's far from ordinary...

You turn away
From all those things
That I've been trying to say
And all those promises
I shouldn't have made
I did it for you

Oh I searched my soul
And all these feelings
That I can't control
And you're the one thing
That can make me whole
I did it for you...
I did it for you...
I did it for you...

You're the one thing that can make me whole
I did it for you...


"I Could Fly" by Keith Urban
(Eclipse)

Time stands still for no one
I know this is true
I've been stuck here waiting
Then along came you
And you gave me back
The love I had
The faith I'd lost
The life I knew

I wanna thank you for the love that you give me
And the sun that you put in my sky
You don't know how much you've lifted me up
But I feel so alive
That I could fly
I could fly, oh

There's no way I could've made it this far
Without you
You came to me just when I needed someone to believe
That I could make it through
And you gave me back
The love I had
The faith I'd lost
And the life I knew

I wanna thank you for the love that you give me
And the sun that you put in my sky
You don't know how much you've lifted me up
But I feel so alive
That I could fly

Above the clouds
Fly so high, never come down
Just you and I, I'm so in love
With you, with you

I wanna spread my wings

And you gave me back
The love I had
The faith I'd lost
And the life I knew

I wanna thank you for the love that you give me
And the sun that you put in my sky
You don't know how much you've lifted me up
But I feel so alive

I wanna thank you for the love that you give me
And the sun that you put in my sky
You don't know how much you've lifted me up
But I feel so alive
That I could fly

And I could fly, I could fly, oh
I wanna spread my wings
Let me tell you
Said I need your love, I need your love
Stay with me baby
Oh, I need your love, and I need your love
Stay with me baby
Oh, I need your love, I need your love
Stay with me baby
Yeah I need your love, and I need your love
Stay with me honey baby, c'mon now stay
C'mon now, yeah

You and me side by side walkin' through the woods in the pale moonlight
Oh yeah now and it feels so good


"Smile" by Uncle Kracker
(Eclipse)

You're better than the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip-side of my pillow (that's right)
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Let's me know that it's okay (yea, it's okay)
And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along just like a flower pokin through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain
And just like that

You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
'Cause everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like fool, Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smille
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smille


Okay, so maybe some of these aren't exactly on the dot with Edward's situation, but they're pretty close, I think! Next time, I will have some songs from Bella's perspective. Please review (and include song suggestions if you have any) ! I absolutely LOVE getting reviews. They always make my day!
