The Twilight Soundtrack (Twilight OST) is the official music for the 2008 film Twilight.
The soundtrack was chosen by music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, whose most notable work has been
on the series
The O.C., Grey's Anatomy and
Gossip Girl. The Twilight Original
Soundtrack was released on November 4, 2008 by Patsavas' Chop Shop label, in conjunction with
Atlantic Records. The album debuted at
#1 on the Billboard 200, having sold about 165,000
copies in its first week of release, 29% of which were digital downloads. Twilight is the
best-selling theatrical movie soundtrack in the United States since
Chicago.
It was revealed early on by director, Catherine Hardwicke, that a song by the band Muse
would be included on the film's soundtrack; that song being "Supermassive Black Hole".
Since the movie's debut, it has been a well known fact that two songs from the movie were written
and performed by Robert Pattinson, who plays the part of Edward Cullen. In the original
release of the soundtrack, "Let Me Sign" was not included. It wasn't until the digital
version was released on iTunes that this song was added. Even though she didn't sing any of the
songs on the soundtrack, she did chose "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" by Iron & Wine
to be included.

So,
why this fanlisting? Honestly, I am not a big fan of Soundtracks. Why? mostly
because I usually don't like enough songs from a certain movie to actually buy the Soundtrack.
I generally think it's a waste of money -- why buy the whole OST when you can just go on
iTunes and buy the single songs that you like?
The Twilight soundtrack is the first movie soundtrack that I had ever bought -- I love almost
every song (not too big of a Linkin Park fan) and it was definitely worth it to me. My
favorite are absolutely Full Moon, I Caught Myself, Eyes on Fire, Let
Me Sign, and Flightless Bird, American Mouth, which is actually my ringtone! I really
don't think that one song is out of place during the whole movie, including all of the songs
by Carter Burwell (I ADORE THE TWILIGHT SCORE!!). He and Patsavas did an amazing job.
I cannot thank Kigi enough for
letting me adopt this fanlisting in November of 2009. I genuinely love this soundtrack and I
am so happy that I was chosen to adopt it. ♥
