German Twilighters

Vanity Fair sprach mit drei Bands, die auf dem New Moon Soundtrack vertreten sind u.a über ihre Songs und in welchen Szenen aus New Moon sie auftauchen.Hier ein paar Auszüge der Interviews...

Alex Brown Church of Sea Wolf on “The Violet Hour”

What does your song “The Violet Hour” sound like?

It’s a very up-tempo, peppy kind of song with a dark twist to it. It’s about a girl who is interested in me but is also wishy-washy—someone aloof. I get the sense she’s leading me on but I’m not really sure. It’s a little bit sexy.

That sounds very “Bella.”

Maybe it could apply to her character. The song does suit the movie—the vibe and lyrics, definitely.

Do you know what scene it will be featured in?

All I know is it’s going to be in a party scene … a house-party scene.

Can you give us some sample lyrics?

Sure.

Your arms are lovely
Yellow and rose
Your back’s a meadow
Covered in snow
Your thighs are thistles
And hothouse grapes
You breathe your sweet breath
And have me wait

Annie Clark, also known as St. Vincent, on her song with Bon Iver, “Rosyln.”

You and Justin Vernon [of the band Bon Iver] perform a duet on the soundtrack song “Roslyn.” How did that come together?

We recorded it in July and August. It was a song Justin had been working on for a while. It was a very Internet-friendly collaboration.

What’s the mood of it?

It’s a melancholy, bittersweet kind of song with softer acoustic guitar and slide guitar—we kind of make up this choir of voices. It’s a somber song, for sure, very aching, longing, and beautiful. Typical Justin Vernon.

Do you know what scene they’re using it for?

,,I don’t know where the song will be in the film, but I know that Edward and Bella will not have sex to it.'' :O

Tim Nordwind of OK Go

What’s the song “Shooting the Moon” about?

It’s a story about an astronaut who tries to go to the moon but doesn’t quite make it. He has to come back and apologize for not making it.

An astronaut? How does that relate to Twilight?

It’s a song about trying to do the best thing but failing and then having to come back and explain. It’s about false hope.

Can you give us a sample of some of the song lyrics?

What can he tell ‘em now
Sorry I let you down
Sorry I wasn’t quite true
But don’t get hung up on it
Just soldier on with it
And good luck shooting the moon

Sounds very apropos. Do you know what scene it’s featured in?

Yes, I do. It’s a montage scene. The song itself is a thoughtful, acoustic song, and the scene they’re using it for is a moment when you see the two kids flirting with each other for the first time.

You mean Bella and Jacob?

Right, yeah.
