New Moon Soundtrack Suggestion “You Are the Blood”

by Will on March 26, 2009 · Comments

in New Moon Soundtrack

200903261133.jpg I’ve got another song suggestion for New Moon for you guys to check out-“You Are the Blood” by the Castanets. It’s been recently covered by Sufjan Stevens, but I think the Southern Gothic vibe of the original really suits New Moon and also builds on the general mood of the Twilight soundtrack as well.

What do you guys think?

N.B.: The fan video above has lots of quick flashy images, so if you don’t like that kind of thing watch out!

  • When i first heard this song by Sufjan Stevens, i fell in love with it. Even though this one is a lot slower and little less up beat, it is still perfect for the New Moon soundtrack. If you think about it, Bella is Edward's blood flowing through his veins and the other way around as well. Both Bella and Edward agree that they could not live with out each other so this song is perfect. Besides, every one needs blood to survive. The mood and lyrics in my opinion are perfect for this film.
  • Babs
    You Are Blood is terrible. It doesnt evoke feelings any feelings and that is what music is for
  • mcchristi
    Have you guys checked out The Mitch Hansen Band? They have an awesome Twilight sound that would be perfect for the New Moon soundtrack. You can find some of their videos on youtube (I think they have some more coming soon). They are also playing some big twilight stuff like the Forks High School Prom (Summer School in Forks) and Twicon in Dallas. Check them out and see for yourself http://themitchhansenband.com WAY COOL!

    i think the song i posted above
    would be great on the soundtrack. Obscure so not well known but mournful, haunting and kinda fits the overall mood of bella during the first part of book 2
  • Courtnie
    I think that "You Are The Blood" is a definite pick for the movie. Though, I believe that the cover by Sufjan Stevens is much, much more fitting for the movie. I found this song a few days ago and LOVED it, and now, reading this article on here and hearing that the song might be in the movie just stuns me. Hopefully it will be chosen because it's fits perfectly.

    We Are Broken-by Paramore!!!

    Ok, someone is probably going to KILL me . . . but I just heard Demi Lovato's new song . . . "Don't Forget." I would have NEVER, EVER suggested it but my kids watch disney on the weekends and I heard it today. So I got on youtube and looked up the video and then looked up the lyrics. It IS a great song that I believe says a lot about where Bella is during New Moon. And truly her voice is great in this one! (some of the song below)

    Did you forget
    That I was even alive
    Did you forget
    Everything we ever had
    Did you forget
    Did you forget
    About me

    Did you regret
    Ever standing by my side
    Did you forget
    What we were feeling inside
    Now I'm left to forget
    About us

    Somewhere we went wrong
    We were once so strong
    Our love is like a song
    You can't forget it
    At all

    And at last
    All the pictures have been burned
    And all the past
    Is just a lesson that we've learned
    I won't forget
    I won't forget us

    But somewhere we went wrong
    Our love is like a song
    But you won't sing along
    You've forgotten
    About us

    WOLF LIKE ME by TV on the Radio. Besides the wolf reference, this song is AWESOME! Great band, too.
  • michelle
  • michelle
    I think the song by muse called unintended would be great on the new moon soundtrack
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMCUg1J8nuI
  • Sophie
    I don't know, but i have a suggestion thoung.
    Alice Cooper - Poison
    At some points it's like it's from Bellas perspective, and some it's from Edwards but anyway, i think the song fits pretty good into there relation. Just listen to the text at youtube or something, I would appreciate it! :)
  • Emma
    Only One by YellowCard. OR
    Hold On by Good Charlotte. (for like the scenes when she is all depressed)
  • Erika
    It's not bad. Although some songs I would suggest are City and Colour's "Live Knives" and "As Much As I Ever Could", Stateless' "Bloodstream", Saosin's "I Never Wanted To", and Taproot's "Karamaway". All great songs that really fit the tone and action for this movie.
  • Emma
    Broken By Seether Featuring Amy Lee...how bella feels when she is alone.
  • m@ri@
    I like the song Broken by seether and amy
  • vampfan
    "I don't care" by Apocalyptica for Bella n Edward's breakup. . . check out the lyrics. . . perfect!
  • nomesters
    I think Learning to Breathe by Switchfoot would be amazing
  • taylor_rox
    i don't really like it that much. forever by fireflight(♥♥♥♥) would be good!!!!!!!!
  • Stephanie<3Edward
    I THINK EITHER MY IMMORTAL OR BRING ME TO LIFE BY EVANESENCE SHOULD DEFO BE IN NEW MOON I LOVE THE SONGS AND THEY BOTH TOTALLY FIT IN!!!!!!!!


    THANKS X
  • I SOOOOOO AGREE!!!

    218 days till NEW MOON COMES OUT!!!
  • LilyPad4Edward*
    this song is crap!!
  • Anna
    Please, do not take this wrong. I am not making fun or being mean to the artists.
    But.........................................................................
    SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, sucks much!

    This music is something from a 60's heroin trip type movie.

    NOT, NOT, NOT, a fan at all. Can you say yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
    I don't like it, please do not put it on the soundtrack. It gave me a migraine to say the least.
  • Trvlgrl
    This song was a little to weird...not like Full Moon. I can't even picture where this would go well in the movie
  • adrienne
    My Immortal by Evaensence (can't spell it) That be good one!!!!
  • Court
    I agree. Everyone should check out Need by Hana Pestle.
    Check-out either of these pages:
    http://www.myspace.com/hanatunes
    OR
    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction...
    OR
    hanapestle.com/


    She is already working on getting her song in New Moon.
    Many fans think it should be where Edward leaves her in the forest and the months where she is struggling and they can picture a little montage of Bella trying to keep it together.
    Check-it out and help the cause!
  • Emma
    didnt really like it..But Im thinking Oasis--Stop crying your heart out, would be a good choice.
  • Marianne
    NEED by Hanna Pestle would be perfect for New Moon !! I really didn't like
    the song you posted today.
  • twilight_fanpire123
    i thought it would be good to show the months and months of depression
    after edward leaves
  • Cargonza
    Samuel Beam, is that you?

    This is too artsy. I feel like Matthew McConaughey here. What the soundtrack needs is "Hoodoo" and "Invincible" by Muse.
  • kmd2303
    MAYBE the music only in the background kinda has a erie appeal perfect for the Volturi scene.But I really think theres better songs out there!
  • Den
    I think ''Almost Lover'' of A fine Frenzy is just perfect for edward leaving bella...
    And ''Near to you'' of A Fine Frenzy too.. for Jacob/Bella relationship

    Saludos desde Mty, Mex
  • KACramer
    I couldn't agree more, both of those songs totally speak to me of New Moon, I thought when I first heard them, "Did the song writer just get done reading New Moon when she wrote these songs?" And as to the post that Edward and Bella were lovers already and that Almost Lover doesn't fit them, they are mistaken. A lover is someone you are haveing sex with, but are not married to; period. Bella and Edward didn't do more that kiss until they were married, they were never lovers, they dated, and are definitely soulmates, but they were never lovers, no sex before marriage.
  • BAM6AM88 -- Kristen is love :)
    erie
  • Daisy
    I think the song comatose by skillet would be perfect for new moon
  • i didnt really like it sorry but thats my opion
  • countrygirl
    Not a chance, sorry..
  • That kind off made me want to go up to my bedroom and throw myself out the window, it kind off hurt my ears as well.

    Hmmmm....not sure about this at all.....
  • Lindsey
    No way !! They need to stick with the vibe of the Twilght Soundtrack I really liked it. I listen to it everyday on my ipod! I don't think Goth is the way to go. I do however hope that Rob records some songs on this album. He has a great voice. I think that Paramore is going to be on the sountrack though I think everyone will like that.
  • carla
    for me this song is OK, it feels scary and unreal mood :)
  • DriDri
    Ok this noise is horrible i dont even know what to say to that?!?!?! If they need a song for the period in which edward just left it should be NEED by Hana Pestle fits perfect. were working hard to get it on there so come listen and join the effort. www.myspace.com/needfornewmoon
  • tribecca
    IMHO, as a song for New Moon, not so much.

    Now it would be perfect for the HBO series "Trueblood". It does have that goth southern kind of vibe to it. I can just picture it playing in the background of a steamy love scene between Sookie and Bill. Smooookin' hot!

    I think it's time to go take a cold shower. LOL!
  • nomesters
    Soundtracks are a challenge - I feel like the mood is what we need to look at, not the lyrics. That means depressing music. I am thinking some Muse, they have amazing songs that would go great, not to mention how important the band is to Stephenie. Whoever's job it is to do music, I wish them luck. About A Boy had a great soundtrack that had songs that fit really well, so yeah. Do you guys know if the same person that did Twilight is doing New Moon?
  • missy
    i just heard this on myspace do you guys think its good?


    MY RAINING STARS no choice but to accept
  • Jana
    I say that My Immortal by Evanescence and Hate Me by Blue October need to be on the soundtrack representing Bella and Edward respectively!
  • Fridde
    I don't like this song too. I think it doesn't apply to new moon
  • It actually sounds alright.
    As long as they don't get anyone Disney, I'm happy. Oh and if they keep Muse and Linkin Park.
    I just REALLY hope they have someone else to do the New Moon score. Someone like Bear McCreary or Richard Gibbs [Yeah, I'm a BSG fan]. Their music is just fantastic and actually fits VERY well with the mood of New Moon.
  • I don't like it too... I'm agree with Boo69x - 'Almost lover' is perfect :)
  • YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS SONG OUT!!!!!
    JUST GO TO - http://www.myspace.com/needfornewmoon
    IT'S THE PERFECT SONG FOR NEW MOON!!!!!!!!
  • LAP
    This song is totally about Jesus, you know.
  • twerdiewerdie
    i think almost lover has the wrong vibe, because they were lovers...its much worse than the situation described in the song...just my opinion...

    i think the perfect song for that scene would be breathe by paramore...just look at the lyrics:
    I climb, I slip, I fall
    Reaching for your hands
    But I lay here all alone
    Sweating all your blood

    If I could find out how
    To make you listen now
    Because I'm starving for you here
    With my undying love
    And I, I will

    Breathe for love tomorrow
    Cause there's no hope for today
    Breathe for love tomorrow
    Cause maybe there's another way

    AND i'm sorry i'm posting that here without even saying anything to the song discussed here, but i just had the feeling had to write it somewhere....
  • lilrister
    I totally agree with you I think this song would be great from New Moon It has an amazing way oh maing you feel that pain of losing someone oh and I definately did not like this "you are the blood song" totally weird but It would be awesome if they got this paramore song on there
  • Boo69x
    I still think 'Almost Lover' by A Fine Frenzy would be great when Edward is leaving Bells ;D
  • marilyn
    I'm liking it! It has a very disorienting and darkly etheral feel that I can match with all Bella goes through in New Moon. It fits the creepy and yet allluring feel that the baddies have in the book ( Victoria and The Volturi). I like the lyrics as well. They remind me of what Edward is to Bella, he's the blood that runs through her veins and ironically enough that is what separates them. That absolute vitality that Edward is to Bella (she can't live without him) matched with the creepiness, touches on the summation of New Moon quite well I think. I dig it!
  • alinalovesrob
    okay..uhm actually this isn't my music...but i like that...when i imagine that this song will be in new moon soon....hopefully
  • Chris10
    Sorry, not a fan. I was kind of getting a headache. I didn't hear any actual music really.
  • Fan From Forks
    Check out this band Sky Cries Mary they are from Seattle and I think they have a great sound for New Moon. I live on the borderline between La Push and Forks, and when I am out driving thru the trees I have this CD playing and it is magical.
    Heres their website and playlist from the CD Small Town.

  • Lauren
    Missing would be perfect for after edward leaves
  • Brittney
    Wow...in what parallel universe is this considered music? I mean, the lyrics might have some potential if it didn't mainly sound like annoying noises and a train hitting something.
  • nikki_23
    i dont like it either...its like really dry and slow..sorry. =)
  • LisaM0014
    The music was cool and seemed to match the vibe of parts of the book but the lyrics and flow of them was horrible
  • cutekilla
    I like it. Check out the Sufjan Stevens version: http://stereogum.com/archives/new-sufjan-steven...
  • Molly
    I like Sufian's better...he's actually a friend of a friend of mine...maybe I'll ask him to try to work his way into the soundtrack.
    I think he would find it hilarious to be part of all this...
  • ack....this is what I meant originally (instead of Wainright). How I got
    them confused I have no idea. Thanks!
  • YvettexD
    ugh, i really don't like the sound. sorry :P. there have to be other songs.
  • IndiesR
    hmmm, its not bad, but i wouldnt kick-up a fuss if it was on the soundtrack or not, I'm leaning more to "not" :)
  • Southern Gothic vibe......I couldn't agree more. I really like it, I think it could work really well. I has that New Moon feel to it. ** 2 thumbs up **
  • Boo69x
    Ohh, I dont like it, sorry. ;D
  • Tori
    I'm sorry to all you but I have to agree... I hate this song with a passion. It's boring and drab but not in a depressed good way just dull. I can't believe it made it into the soundtrack but what do I know?

    "The OCEAN" by the Bravery

    Lyrics:
    "The Ocean"

    I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge
    At all of the lives that I never have lead
    There's one where I stayed with you across the sea
    I wonder, do you still think of me

    I carry your image always in my head
    Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
    And I've look upon it for so many years
    Slowly I'm loosing your face

    [chorus:]
    Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away
    The ocean rolls us away

    Sixs and sevens we live on jet planes
    so many faces I don't know the names
    So many friends now and none of them mine
    Forgotten as soon as we meet
    All of these moments are lost in time
    But you caught in my head like a thorn on a vine
    To forever torment me and I wonder why
    Do I wish I'd never known you at all

    [chorus x2]
    Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away
    The ocean rolls us away

    The sun and the moon,
    An ocean of air
    So many voices
    And nothing is there
    But The ghost of you asking me why
    Why did I leave

    [chorus x3]

    Oh the ocean rolls us away away away

    And I loose your hand through the waves
  • CB2
    The band 'RED' has some really good songs that would fit new moon. Seriously Summit take a listen.They're great and different.

    'Never be the same' for bella's depression, edward leaving, or after the volturi decide to let them go and edward is holding her in the lobby, and she is studying his face. Most likely the last option I think. Here is a link to hear this song and others that are good for new moon. http://www.myspace.com/dropofred

    Never be the same lyrics:

    I know you, Who are you now, Look into my eyes if you can’t remember
    Do you remember, I can see. I can still find,
    You're the only voice my heart can recognize,
    But I can’t hear you now

    I’ll never be the same
    I’m caught inside the memories, The promises, our yesterdays,
    when I belonged to you, I just can’t walk away
    Cause after loving you, I can never be the same

    And how can I pretend I never knew you
    Like it was all a dream,no
    I know I’ll never forget
    The way I always felt with you beside me
    And how you loved me then

    You led me here, but then I watched you disappear
    You left this emptiness inside, And I can’t turn back time
    No, stay
    Nothing compares to you, Nothing compares to you

    I can’t let you go
    Can’t let you go
    I can’t let you

    I’ll never be the same
    Not after loving you
    Not after loving you, no
    I’ll never be the same

    I’m caught inside the memories, The promises, our yesterdays,
    when I belonged to you, I just can’t walk away
    Cause after loving you, I can never be the same

    I can never be the same, I will never be the same
    I just can’t walk away, No I can’t walk away from you.

    The song 'shadows' by RED would be good for when jacob turns and doesn't talk to bella for a while, and she is trying to figure out what is going on with him and how she feels when he tells her he can't be with her anymore. How she hates Sam for doing this to jacob and their friendship. This song is on the link above to hear the music.

    Shadows lyrics:

    The sun has set, I close my eyes
    I pretend everything's alright
    Drowning in anger from all these lies
    I can't pretend everything's alright
    Please don't let me fall forever
    Can you tell me it's over?

    There's a hate inside of me like some kind of master
    I try to save you, but I can't find the answer
    I'm holding onto you, I'll never let go
    I need with you with me as I enter the shadows

    Caught in the darkness, I go blind
    can you help me find my way out?
    Nobody hears me, I suffer the silence
    Can you tell me it's over now?

    I'm holding onto you
    I'm holding onto you

    There are other songs on their myspace that are good. What do you guys think of these songs?
  • mmmEdward (L)
    Those songs seem perfect. Especially the first ones lyrics. I imagined it for when he's leaving Bella in the forest. And her memories.

    Good pick :)
  • stephanie
    its dumb
  • OCDJenni
    I didn't like it either. It was OK but I'm just not feeling it for this movie. Sorry
  • Jo
    me either
