Reworked, Reorganized, Reconfigured

I decided that I wanted to put all my Twilight playlist songs in order, by book and storyline. I enjoyed listening to them at random. But the OCD in me, likes to have things in their right spots, in a nice orderly fashion. This way, it makes me feel, every time I listen to the playlists, that I'm reading the books all over again (which I do constantly anyway, but that is beside the point).

So after tweaking everything a bit, I came up with the playlist, in order of storyline, and separated into the three books: Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse.

Now the songs don't follow the chapters perfectly. Each separate song does not equate to one separate chapter. Some chapters have a variety of stuff happen in them, so the songs can relate to all those separate things. Some songs are an overview of what is happening at that time, or can relate to more than one person's point of view. So like I said, this list follows the storylines, but does so loosely. This way, I am giving you the fun of guessing what exact part of the book each of the songs relate to. ;)

Some of the songs relate to a specific person's point of view, namely Bella or Edward. A few are Jacob's, even though I like to think about him as little as possible. I have to concede that he is an integral part to the second two books, so I have grudgingly included a few songs from his point of view. Those specific POV songs will have the person's initial next to the song title; B, E, or J.

I also just wanted to note, that originally all three Yiruma songs were in the running as "Bella's Lullaby". But since I was splitting up the songs by book, I decided I had to make a choice. I felt "Love Me" was the best fit. I put "River Flows in You" in the New Moon part, because it had a more sorrowful feel to it. And so "Kiss the Rain" made it into the Eclipse part of the list. This song recalls another very special moment in the third book, actually. Can you guess what part I'm thinking of? Honestly though, I think all three would make beautiful choices, as the lullaby.

*All these songs will be playing, in order, in my flash player. So if you are interested in hearing a specific song, just find it in the flash player list (on the right side of my blog --->) and click on it, to listen to it.*

**If I can't find the song for the flash player, I will put a youtube link underneath the title, so you can listen to it that way.**


TWILIGHT

Twilight -Future of Forestry (This song is one that I could imagine playing in the "opening credits" so to speak. It is more of a poetical overview of the story for me, than a specific part of the book. If you had to have it in a specific part of the storyline, then I think it could also work as the part when Edward tells Bella about twilight being the safest part of the day.)

One last thing, some of the songs, I think can relate to any, and or all of the books. I just had to make a choice of where I felt each song fit the best. And also, a few of the songs, in the Eclipse part of the playlist especially, I bought with the gut feeling that they will fit with Breaking Dawn. We'll see if I'm right come August 2nd. If I am right, then those songs will be migrating. Until then though, they stay where they are.
