TWILIGHT MIXTAPE
So this mixtape is of the mushy, soap-box stuff. There's plenty of lovey-dovey goodness to go around! :) Anyway, here's a bit of information before-hand:
TITLE - Come Away With Me
SUBJECT - Edward & Bella; semi-Twilight.
No. OF SONGS - 10 [4 .wma and 6 .mp3]
OTHER INFO - Graphics and individual songs are behind the cut. That way, in case you already have those songs on your computers, iPODs or MP3s, you don't have to download them again.

001 COLLIDE by HOWIE DAY - EDWARD/BELLA [.wma; 03 track 3 @ box.net]
... I'm open, you're closed / Where I follow, you'll go / I worry I won't see your face / Light up again / Even the best fall down sometimes / Even the wrong words seem to rhyme / Out of the doubt that fills my mind / I somehow find / You and I collide / I'm quiet you know / You make a first impression / I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind ... LYRICS
Howie Day's Collide pretty much has "Edward and Bella" written all over it. This song sort of describes their relationship: it's so wrong, but at the same time it feels so right. It was inevitable, it was fate which brought them together. In other words, he ignored every thought and couldn't stay away from Bella any longer.
002 YOU PICKED ME by A FINE FRENZY - BELLA TO EDWARD
... The two of us a perfect fit / You’re all mine, all mine / And all I can say / Is you blow me away / Like an apple on a tree / Hiding out behind the leaves / I was difficult to reach / But you picked me / Like a shell upon a beach / Just another pretty piece / I was difficult to see / But you picked me, yeah you picked me ... LYRICS
This is one of my favorites! It's ridiculously sweet and you'll love it! :) I just had to put this song in the mix, if I could, I probably would put it in every future mixtape, no joke. Anywho, back to the point, in regards to this song, it's sort of like Bella is such a tiny creature, she's so delicate and vulnerable compared to Edward, and so the last thing on her mind would be to ever falling in love with him, and vice versa. Plus, you have to admit, the "You're mine, all mine" seemed like something Bella would say. LOL :D
003 DIFFERENT by ACCEPTANCE - EDWARD TO BELLA [.wma; 16 track 16 @ box.net]
Tell myself, on the ride home / Getting tired, hating all I've known / Holding on, like it's all I have ... God I'm wrong, it's just the way I am / Crashing down, any chance you hear / Caving in, any chance that you, could see inside of me ... I wanted to see something that's different, something you said would change in me / Wanted to be, anything different, everything you would change in me / I'm taking a chance, this could be different / This could be all I'm waiting for ... LYRICS
"Different," by Acceptance, represents all of Edward's internal battles and his frustrations with what he is when he's around Bella: he's not human enough, he's a monster, he's the "bad guy". (Bella, of course, does not see this in him.) Edward literally struggles with himself everytime he's around Bella, yet he's come to realize that he doesn't want to keep avoiding her, so he takes a chance knowing the risks it imposes.
004 SONG FOR A SLEEPING GIRL by DEVICS - EDWARD/BELLA
This is a song / For a silent sleeping girl / She wants nothing / But to wake and find you there / The words you whisper / They fade in morning / And when I look at her / And her sleeping face / Her foot resting in mine / And then I know my place ... LYRICS
Another one of my favorites! And it's even sweeter because a man and a woman sings in this one. I think the lyrics are pretty much self-explanatory though, don't you think?
005 JUST LIKE HEAVEN by KATIE MELUA - BELLA TO EDWARD
... Spinning on that dizzy edge / I kissed his face and kissed his head / And dreamed of all the different ways I had / To make him glow ... You, soft and only / You, lost and lonely / You, strange as angels / Dancing in the deepest oceans / Twisting in the water / You're just like a dream / You're just like a dream ... LYRICS
This is a cover of The Cure's song, Just Like Heaven. I like this version though, as it has a more slow tempo. Just like the lyrics, Bella herself sees Edward as somewhat of a god. Like a character in a fairytale, she even has to make sure he's real sometimes. Plus, hasn't it been noted several times that everytime Bella's around Edward, she's sort of in this dazed state? He's that dreamy! :D
006 AS YOU SLEEP by SOMETHING CORPORATE - EDWARD TO BELLA [.wma]
... Lullaby's fill your room, and I will be singing / Singing to only you / Don’t forget I’ll hold your head / Watch the night sky fading red / But as you sleep, and no one is listening / I will lift you off your feet / I’ll keep you from sinking / Don't you wake up yet / Cause soon I’ll be leaving you / Soon I’ll be leaving you / But you won't be leaving me ... LYRICS
I just LOVE this song! And of course, it reminded me of all the times Edward and Bella would fall asleep in each other's arms, well Bella did most of the sleeping, but still, it's a very lovely song, and it's Something Corporate, so you can't go wrong!
007 THE FEAR YOU WON'T FALL by JOSHUA RADIN - EDWARD/BELLA
... It hasn't felt like this before / It hasn't felt like home before you / And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way / And I miss you more than I should / Than I thought I could / Can't get my mind off of you / I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it / That's part of it all / Part of the beauty of falling in love with you is the fear you won't fall ... LYRICS
Yet another song that is ridiculously sweet, with a pinch of sadness to it. If you like Damien Rice, you'd probably like Joshua Radin. Plus, this song also has a man and a woman singing in it! Anyway, "The Fear You Won't Fall" reminded me of how Edward and Bella feel about each other. They're each others first loves, so every emotion is new to them; and they're always on each others minds. All in all, I think this song perfectly describes how much they long for each other as well as their insecurities (IE: Edward's afraid Bella might run away fom him because of what he is and Bella's always afraid Edward would leave her).
008 I SHALL BELIEVE by SHERYL CROW - BELLA TO EDWARD
... It seems like every time I try to make it right / It all comes down on me / Please say honestly you won't give up on me / And I shall believe / And I shall believe / Open the door / And show me your face tonight / I know it's true / No one heals me like you / And you hold the key ... LYRICS
Listening to this song kind of always makes me feel a little sad, even if it expresses "hope". In terms of their relationship, I think it sort of describes how much Bella needs Edward in her life. And that even with all of the obstacles and dangers that surround them, with him by her side, everything will be okay.
009 SPIN by LIFEHOUSE - EDWARD TO BELLA [.wma]
I'd rather I chase your shadow all my life / Than be afraid of my own / I'd rather be with you / I'd rather not know / Where I'll be than be alone and convinced that I know / When the world keeps spinning round / My world's upside down / And I wouldn't change a thing / I've got nothing else to lose / I lost it all when I found you / And I wouldn't change a thing ... Spinning turning watching burning / All my life has found its meaning / Walking crawling climbing falling / All my life has found its meaning ... LYRICS
I'm beginning to think I have way too many similar Edward songs in this mix. *shrugs* BUT I decided this had to be added because I love this song so much! :) And besides, doesn't it perfectly represent the bajillion thoughts probably going through Edward's brain when he decides he can't stay away from Bella any longer; even more so when he's with Bella and he feels so at ease and everything just seems worth it?
010 COME AWAY WITH ME by NORAH JONES - EDWARD/BELLA [Read lyrics from column 1 to 2.]
Okay, well, I don't know much much this song represents their relationship according to the events going on in "Twilight", but it's such a beautifully written song and it's so wistful and romantic--and in my opinion, I think their relationship is the essence of just that. Plus, can't you imagine Edward and Bella dancing to this song during their prom? :D ***
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
CREDITS & OTHER INFORMATION
The Edward and Bella manipulation on the tracklist is by mara83! HAHAA I liked it so much, I used it again! :) Other images were from GaspardUlliel.net and Emily-Browning.com. Other resources can be found here.
For the mixtape's cover and tracklist, I chose French actor, Gaspard Ulliel as Edward Cullen and Australian actress, Emily Browning as Bella Swan.
If any of the links either do not work OR if they are wrong, please let me know so I can fix them. Thanks in advance!
Text in ITALICS are only my personal thoughts on the song itself and how it compares to either Edward/Bella, Edward to Bella, or Bella to Edward. Read it if you're interested! :)
*** Okay, I'll admit it, Come Away With Me by Norah Jones made it onto the list partially after watching Pasha dance the viennese waltz during week one of So You Think You Can Dance. :D
