"Miracle" - A Twilight Fanmix
I'm on a roll this week. I've never done one of these before! *does the happy dance* I'm excited.
MIRACLE
Front & Back:
1) "All the Same" by Sick Puppies
I don't mind where you come from, as long as you come to me
And I don't like illusions; I can't see them clearly
I don't care, no - I wouldn't dare to fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually what you'll do.
I don't mind, I don't care; as long as you're here.
BOOK: Twilight. This song reminds me of Bella and Edward's relationship at the beginning of the series, when Bella says that she doesn't care "what" Edward is or if he is a danger to her; she just wants to be with him.
2) "Fall to Pieces" by Avril Lavigne
If I had my way, I'd never get over you
Today's the day I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall, make it through it all.
And I don't wanna fall to pieces, I just wanna sit & stare at you
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation; I just wanna cry in front of you
I don't wanna talk about it, 'cause I'm in love with you.
BOOK: Twilight. Concerning the many challenges Bella and Edward had to face when risking everything to be with each other. A reminder that they have each other to hold onto when everything around them is falling to pieces.
3) "Here (in Your Arms)" by Hellogoodbye
'Cause our lips can touch, and our cheeks can brush
Our lips can touch here. Well, you are the one,
the one that lies close to me.
Whispers, "Hello, I miss you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms."
BOOK: Twilight. Basically Edward's perspective as he revels in his sudden but strong love for Bella.
4) "Hero/Heroine" - Boys Like Girls
I never thought that you could break me apart
I kept a sinister smile & a hole in my heart
You wanna get inside? Then you can get in line
But not this time. 'Cuase you caught me off-guard
Now I'm running and screaming:
I feel like a hero, and you are my heroine
BOOK: Twilight. Another song in Edward's perspective, concerning the fact that Bella was able to bring out the feelings he thought he'd lost long ago and help him change for the better.
5) "Lullaby" - The Spill Canvas
It's the way that you blush when you're nervous
It's your ability to make me earn this
I know that you're tired, just let me sing you to sleep
...If you need anything, just say the word; I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then i'll tuck you in
Plant my lips where your necklace is close.
BOOK: Twilight. Basically my favorite "Bella's lullaby" song.
6) "Bleeding Love" - Leona Lewis
But nothin's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm goin' crazy. Maybe, maybe...
But I don't care what they say; I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closin'
You cut me open and I keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding love
BOOK: New Moon. Bella's perspective when Edward leaves her in the woods and afterwards. She finds that everyone around her is trying to help her cope as best they can, but always, Edward is in the back of her mind.
7) "Don't Jump" - Tokio Hotel
I scream into the night for you: Don't make it true
Don't jump. The lights will not guide you through,
they're deceiving you; don't jump
Don't let memories go of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump.
BOOK: New Moon. Jacob's perspective when he finds Bella about to dive off the cliff at La Push, and when he saves her after she jumps. He doesn't want her to let go of the friendship they built upon over the course of the months they'd grown closer.
8) "Everything We Had" - The Academy Is...
Take the pain out of love, and the love won't exist
Everything we had, everything we had, everything we had, everything we had
is no longer there, longer there. Well you saw for yourself
the way it played out. For you, I am blinded. For you, I am blinded, for you...
BOOK: New Moon. Edward's perspective when he was forced to leave Bella, trying to convince himself that it was best for the both of them, all the while understanding the pain it was causing them in their months apart.
9) "Far Away" - Nickelback
I need to hear you say
"I love you, I loved you all along
and I forgive you. You've been away for far too long"
So keep breathin 'cause I'm no leavin' you anymore
Believe it, hold onto me and never let me go.
Book: New Moon. Bella and Alice race against time to save Edward in Volterra, and Bella and Edward are finally reunited. This song reminds me of the part in the book where Edward tries as hard as he can to convince Bella that he always loved her and never stopped, even when he left.
10) "Miracle" - Paramore
I try to patch things up again; to kill my tears
and kill these fears, But have I told you, have I?
I'm not going. 'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
and I'm not leavin'. I won't let you, let you
give up on a miracle when it might save you.
BOOK: Eclipse. Bella is torn between her love, Edward and her best friend, Jacob. She tries to make a sort of compromise between both of them so that she can have them both, despite their wishes. In Eclipse, Bella is left in the middle to try to patch things up between everyone.
11) "To the End" - My Chemical Romance
If you marry me, would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
Say goodbye (to the life you take)
Say goodbye (to the life you make)
Say goodbye (to the hearts you break and all the cyanide you drink)
BOOK: Eclipse. This could mainly be because I'm a huge MCR fan, but this chorus reminds me of Edward and Bella and what either would have to lose when Bella marries Edward. Bella is "so eager for eternal damnation" but Edward gently reminds her of the responsibility that comes with making that choice.
12) "Umbrella (Rihanna Cover)" - All Time Low
You had my heart, and we'll never be world apart
Maybe in magazines, but you'll still be my star...
When the sun shines, We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever. Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
BOOK: Eclipse. Jacob to Bella. Jake is still convinced he'd be the better companion for Bella, and tries to show her he'd always be there for her through thick and thin. Upon the discovery that Bella is to marry Edward, Jacob runs away, trying to forget Bella but knowing in his heart he never will, and she'll always be his best friend.
13) "As Long As You're Mine" - Wicked: Original Cast Recording (Idina Menzel and Norbert Leo-Butz)
Kiss me too fiercely, hold me too tight
I need help believing you're with me tonight
My wildest dreamings could not forsee lying beside you, with you wanting me
And just for this moment, as long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance, and crossed some borderline
And if it turns out it's over too fast, I'll make every
last moment last, as long as you're mine
BOOK: Breaking Dawn. This song covers Bella and Edward's wedding and the beginning of their honeymoon afterwards, in which B & E take their vows and, later, make love for the first time. :)
14) "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" - Death Cab for Cutie
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs,
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks,
Then I'll follow you into the dark
BOOK: Breaking Dawn. As everyone prepares for the "final battle" of sorts against the Volturi, Bella and Edward both know that they and their daughter, Renesmee, the Cullens and the wolves are in danger. In the end, they are willing to go wherever this journey takes them, in life or death, as long as they are together.
15) "Stolen" - Dashboard Confessional
You have stolen my heart, you have stolen my heart
And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration
One good stretch before a hibernation
BOOK: Breaking Dawn. I thought this would be a good song to wrap up the series. After the battle is over, Bella and Edward are able to live peacefully with each other and their family, their love as strong as ever, enjoying the rest of eternity. <3
