Soundtrack Artists Dish On New Moon Scenes

Vanity Fair interviewed artists Alex Church of Sea Wolf, St. Vincent, and OK Go’s Tim Norwind about their songs on the New Moon soundtrack! They dish a little on what scenes there songs will be featured in.

— Alex Brown Church of Sea Wolf on “The Violet Hour” —

What does your song “The Violet Hour” sound like?
It’s a very up-tempo, peppy kind of song with a dark twist to it. It’s about a girl who is interested in me but is also wishy-washy—someone aloof. I get the sense she’s leading me on but I’m not really sure. It’s a little bit sexy.

That sounds very “Bella.”Maybe it could apply to her character. The song does suit the movie—the vibe and lyrics, definitely.

Do you know what scene it will be featured in?
All I know is it’s going to be in a party scene … a house-party scene.

— Annie Clark, also known as St. Vincent, on her song with Bon Iver, “Rosyln.” —

What’s the mood of it?
It’s a melancholy, bittersweet kind of song with softer acoustic guitar and slide guitar—we kind of make up this choir of voices. It’s a somber song, for sure, very aching, longing, and beautiful. Typical Justin Vernon.

Do you know what scene they’re using it for?
I don’t know where the song will be in the film, but I know that Edward and Bella will not have sex to it.

— Tim Nordwind of OK Go —

Can you give us a sample of some of the song lyrics?
What can he tell ‘em now
Sorry I let you down
Sorry I wasn’t quite true
But don’t get hung up on it
Just soldier on with it
And good luck shooting the moon

Sounds very apropos. Do you know what scene it’s featured in?
Yes, I do. It’s a montage scene. The song itself is a thoughtful, acoustic song, and the scene they’re using it for is a moment when you see the two kids flirting with each other for the first time.
