Yet another work of art that Stephenie Meyer has absolutely butchered the meaning of. Sorry, I've been listening to it because I finished a big writing project that it's the theme song for. And it's basically paraphrased in conversation in the end of New Moon, only with the meaning HORRIBLY MANGLED AND UNRECOGNISABLE.
Sorry I just have to remind myself how much better I am than Stephenie every once and a while.

Meyer ruined that song (and multiple others) for me a while ago. I'm sorry, that's a good song and I hope New Moon doesn't come to your mind from now on when you hear it.

Oh man, I know right? Now all this music has the 'twilight lyrics' slapped on it because S. Meyer gets all of her ideas from shitty My Chemical Romance songs.

See, much better:
Other guards cast curious glances at the blood on Kurt’s uniform as he passed them, but backed off at the sight of his fury. There were no words in his mind, just a continuous, raging shriek of raw sorrow that overwhelmed all of his other senses. He threw open to door to his barrack and entered. He rifled through his belongings, throwing things over his head until he found what he wanted. His SS dagger, given to all recruits as a weapon for combat and as a reminder of their highest creed: My honor is loyalty. The words etched in fine gothic lettering on the blade were utterly hollow. Kurt had just lost the only thing he could possibly be loyal to. What good was honor to him now? He ripped off his shirt and pressed the blade to the white skin of his wrist. Just press it down and drag it up your arm… It was mockingly easy. Just cut open the pulsing veins in his wrist, and he could finally leave the SS, he could be with Nora. His breath shook as it heaved in and out of his quaking body. Hot tears clouded his vision and poured down his face. He felt his hand trembling around the handle of the dagger. Just cut it and end it all! But the blade didn’t move. His body refused the movement. Kurt clenched his jaw and threw down the knife with a scream of frustration. He went back to his belongings and found his pistol. Die just as Nora did. Quickly, painlessly, leaving behind a horrible mess for someone else to clean up. He pressed the muzzle to his temple. He cocked the thing and put his finger around the trigger. The metal felt cold in his hands. This was even easier than with the knife. He’d done this thousands of times before. He wouldn’t even have to wait for the results. Just pull the trigger and end it all.
But… no. This wasn’t it.
Kurt didn’t want suicide. He wanted something beyond it. Surely by now Nora’s beautiful pale body was being burned in the crematory. He wanted her to rise from those flames. He wanted her to have never known him. He wanted those that he’d killed before to emerge from their mass graves, shake the dirt from their eyes, and live. He wanted to take back the playful schoolboy who joined the SS hoping to be a spy. He wanted to erase his existence. He wanted God to remove him from His memory and throw him away as a mistake that never should have been.
Kurt fell backwards onto his bed, eyes shut. The pistol slid from his fingers and clattered to the floor. He was empty, simply and utterly empty. Nora was beyond him now, her soul hidden in a darkness that the living could never comprehend. Kurt wished to be in that darkness with her, voyaging toward to unknown, perhaps toward God. But he couldn’t. God wouldn’t let him. God wouldn’t want him.

that is how you use a song for inspiration!

When I first read the title of this subject, the first thing that came to mind was: "Please, don't." sweatdrop
And then I read that it was a song used in New Moon, then I basically thought:
"Oh, ******** no betch." >w>

Nara_Neji_02 That's a My Chemical Romance song? And Meyer put the lyrics into the end of New Moon? Sorry, I don't listen to the band so I'm lost here. sweatdrop The song is from Death Cab for Cutie. I like MCR, and I'm proud to know that they didn't let Meyer use any of their music in her movies. I assume she gets a lot more inspiration from Blue October or something. I didn't know she ******** put song lyrics into the movie (well probably not Meyer, I think the peice of s**t is written by a paid screenwriter, but she may have approved it)... No offense to people who use song lyrics in their stories (I'm sure that can be used well enough to not be bad), but is'ent that noob writer move?

For some reason, I believe there are other DCfC songs that would be better for Twilight.
Like
uh
I bet there are some, right?
*hasn't listened to anything other than You can Play These Songs With Chords for the past year*

CWnerd, I'm officially a fan of your writing. NEED MOAR....
3nodding heart
As for songs, I use songs for inspiration, but not for ideas to rip. That's a sign of a weak, lazy writer, if not a form of plagiarism(very loose sense of the word, but anyway. Varying degrees.)

Thanks! Here's part 1 of the story that excerpt is from. It was written as a sort of prequil to my novel, but I've decided I'm actually going to add it into the novel, so I'm very glad to have just finished it. The rest of the story is up there, too.

I'm almost shocked that Bowling for Soup wasn't asked to do anything for Twilight. Not that Jarett Reddick would have let them. But, When We Die could have fit for Eclipse. It's probably better that it hasn't happened (at least to my knowledge). I don't want Meyer butchering one of BFS' few serious songs.

Claire de Lune is another song on the Twilight soundtrack that I think is played in the movie
It has absolutely nothing to do with love and it's just an attempt to make Bella seem speshul. I'm 18 years old and listen to classical music. It doesn't make me a super genius or a unique snowflake though.
It's a pretty song though.
