::Team Eclipse:: First Review of Eclipse Official Soundtrack (spoilers!)


 Thanks to The Twilight Saga Official Facebook Page!


1. Metric "Eclipse (All Yours)" - Very Catchy and lyrics that really mesh well with the presence of the movie. We believe this might be Bella's theme for the movie. Placement might be found towards the end of the movie after all the fight scenes, etc.

2. Muse "Neutron Star Collision ( Love is Forever)" - Heidi & Lauren have been a HUGE Muse fans before the Twilight Saga threw them into ultra popularity domestically here in the US. So naturally, we were excited to see what they would bring the fans for this 3rd movie in the series. The sound is very reminiscent of their latest album, futuristic sounds with an 80's pop feel to it with some Beethoven thrown in at the end. We can't really see the song fitting in any particular scene, so it will probably be in the ending credits.

3. The Bravery "Ours" -This is a song that we can see fans rocking out to whether it be in their living room, seeing the band in concert or at a Twilight Convention. It's tune is very energetic and could possibly be in the graduation scene or the graduation party at the Cullens.

4. Florence + The Machine "Heavy in your Arms": LOVE LOVE LOVE! This song had us captivated from the very beginning and meshes well with the entire theme of 'Eclipse'.Very edgy and has the undertones of Queen meets Evanescence meets Gospel-esque dramatic vocals. This song wins the award for "Most Likely to be on Repeat".

5. Sia "My Love" - Initial reaction was that the beginning of the song sounded like background music that seamlessly moves with the movie. Fans might have seen it in a previous trailer or TV Spot. Could be featured in a meadow scene or after the proposal. Very instrumental and we feel it's the Lykke Li "Possibility" of this Soundtrack.

6. Fan Farlo "Atlas" - Heavy drum beats meets ukulele. Not much to really describe about this song other than it was a catchy tune. We don't have a particular scene that this would fit in.

7. The Black Keys "Chop and Change" - Our immediate thought was that this was what Muse's song SHOULD have sounded like. Edgy beat that had a lead singer with a Bob Dylan like voice. Very short song compared to others.

8. The Dead Weather "Rolling in on a Burning Tire" - Definitely the theme song for the Newborns coming out of the water or Major Fight scene. Jack White reveals his geniusousness ( definitely NOT a word but just go with it) once again and Alison's voice is very haunting yet appealing. Infectious beats with some of the oddest background sounds.

9. Beck and Bat for Lashes " Let's Get Lost"- Sounds like a remix of an early 90's club beat song. Very catchy and reminds us of Thom Yorke with it's roughness and eclectic beats. This is definitely an Edward and Bella song and we predict that it will be in the "Leg Hitch" scene.

10. Vampire Weekend "Jonathon Low"- Fans of Vampire Weekend will not be disappointed with the band's contribution to this Soundtrack. They stay very true to their original sound but with softer lyrics. It has an upbeat feel with a Rock/Opera meets Italian "Night out on the town".

11. Unkle "With You in My Head (featuring The Black Angels)" - Not a huge fan of this song. It reminds us of a 60's Hawaii- 5-0 song with a slight Radiohead undertone.

12. Eastern Conference Champions " A Million Miles an Hour" - Very reminiscent of Stone Temple Pilots. It's catchy but only for transitional purposes somewhere in this movie. Again, not a huge favorite.

13. Band of Horses " Life on Earth"- Overall it was a great song. Not a lot a lyrics, more of an instrumental sort of song. Nevertheless, we would have liked to have seen it more upbeat towards the end. Possible scene: When Jacob breaks all the bones in his body or just a Jacob song in general.

14. Cee Lo Green "What Part of Forever" - We love this song just as much as Florence + The Machine. It was refreshing to hear this song after a few low key SLOW songs. It's a uniquely catchy and addictive song that fans will really appreciate and rock out to. It wins our award for "Most Surprising Song on the Soundtrack".

15. Howard Shore "Jacob's Theme"- This song's basis is quite sad and heartbreaking, which could easily go along with Jacob's feelings at seeing Edward and Bella together, etc. However, the song doesn't stick out like Alexandre Desplat's "The Meadow" from the 'New Moon' Soundtrack.

::Team Eclipse:: 30 Second Clip of Muse "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)"


When it was announced last week that Muse had been tapped to release the first single off the hotly anticipated "Eclipse" soundtrack, fans of Stephenie Meyers' vamp-o-riffic series rejoiced. Not only did Muse's music play an integral part in the creation of the "Twilight" books, but they've now managed to land a song on each of the three film soundtracks — there's something to be said for continuity, after all.
And now that they can actually hear a snippet of that first single — a track called "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)" — and catch a glimpse of the rather dramatic video, well, we expect them to rejoice even harder. Perhaps even spontaneously combust.
The song itself doesn't stray very far from Muse's wheelhouse, which is to say that it sounds epic, spacey and positively majestic, full of crashing drums, doomy piano stabs and fleet-fingered guitars that spiral heavenward. Frontman Matthew Bellamy sings for the rafters, belting out couplets like "Love is forever/ And we'll die, we'll die together" — which seem to capture the forbidden love between Bella and Edward quite nicely, don't they?
The video itself is a fairly low-key affair, just the band rocking out on a wide-open stage, while a series of screens flash between colors dramatically, bathing them in various hues. Oh, and as is somewhat fitting for an epic track like this, there's gratuitous use of slow-motion, too, which only helps capture the sheer bombast of the performance.
"Neutron Star Collision" will hit radio on May 17, and the "Eclipse" soundtrack is due on June 8. But you probably already knew that by now — and, really, why are you still reading this? Check out an exclusive sneak peek of both the song and the video right here, right now!

::Team Eclipse:: Metric Blog Post About Composing 'All Yours' with Howard Shore


Yes ... It’s official. Our song “All Yours”, co-written with the legendary film composer Howard Shore and performed by Metric, is going to be featured in the movie Eclipse, the next installment in the worldwide phenomenon known as the Twilight saga.

I've always wanted to write music for film, but I never expected to start with something on this scale, so you can imagine how surprised I was when out of nowhere I got a phone call from Howard Shore, who I’d never met or even spoken with before. Most people know him as the man who wrote the acclaimed score for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but I grew up on Shore's earlier works-- his score for David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch in collaboration with jazz great Ornette Coleman still stands as one of the most ambitious & unusual scores out there.

To my amazement, Howard was calling to ask me to work with him on his latest project: scoring the next Twilight movie, Eclipse. He wanted Jimmy & I to write the theme song for the pivotal last scene in the movie, integrating the music from his existing score into a composition that would express the emotional ending of the film. Seriously?!?! The lyrics would have to be in the voice of the main character Bella, and we had to stay within the confines of harmonic and melodic themes Howard had in mind for the last scene.

We've had songs from our albums licensed for use in movies & tv shows before, but composing for a score was completely different. Every day as the song progressed--from sitting at the piano with Jimmy in NYC recording acoustic versions and reading the script (see photo below), to working at Howard's studio upstate, to tracking vocals at our own studio Giant in Toronto, to mixing at Electric Lady with Howard on the line from Abbey Road in London-- every step of the way we did our best to fulfill Howard’s vision of the film's last moments.

Still, everybody knows the movie business is insanely competitive, and for things like this, it’s never a sure thing until the movie is done and the picture is locked...

But as of today, it's happening. Our song, “All Yours”, is in the movie and will be the lead off track from the soundtrack, to be released on June 8th.

I don't have to tell you what an honor it was to be hand picked by Howard to do this work. We are massively grateful for the opportunity & hope you all enjoy Metric's first ever film composition.

Now, back to reality...

::Team Eclipse:: Eclipse Official Movie Soundtrack Gets a Release Date.

WHOO  HOO!!!  Eclipse Official Movie Soundtrack will be released on JUNE 8th!! Mark your calendars and get ready to grab your favorite music format.  The bad news, we have NO IDEA who is on the soundtrack.

If you still buy CD's you can pre-order it on Amazon now.  Not sure if I would actually do that or not because it's a little pricey on that pre-order. We will keep our eyes out for an iTunes pre-order which usually comes with exclusive extras!
