I’ve talked quite a bit about the Twilight: Eclipse Soundtrack, which was released a couple of weeks ago. The soundtrack featured some exciting names, but like the last soundtrack, it seemed that the names were a bigger deal than the actual songs themselves. Maybe I’m jut not feeling the never-dying, morose melancholy each song is contractually obligated to secrete, or maybe it’s just that more often than not, these arists aren’t saving their prize work for a Twilight soundtrack. Obviously there are some gems in each soundtrack, something that did not skip Eclipse; Florence and the Machine’s contribution would be one of those gems.
The song, “Heavy In Your Arms” is but an extension to Florence’s gorgeous debut record, Lungs. This woman is immensely talented, and you can feel it in every song she throws herself into. If there ever was a song to score a love triangle involving vampires, werewolves and a stupid girl, it would be this one — and I mean that in the best way possible.

actually the soundtrack is just as great as the one for New Moon (except Thom Yorke is not part of it but still), the Black Keys song is terrific, “Jonathan Low” is so teenagers in the 80′s I loved it instantly, the Metric song grows on you and it’s definitely not melancholic, just a good pop song, etc. I think what you feel is that stupid need to bash something cause the promise of it seemed too good to be true and it delivered; plus being an open fan of the Twilight movies soundtrack still sound kind of uncool.
hmm maybe the Muse song ain’t that great, but that remix for New Moon also sucked so…
My Love by Sia is so good on that album. All in all I think the New moon soundtrack had more of those ‘gems.’ too bad muse had to be on both of them.
I’ve been waiting for you to write about this! Love this song so much.
