In the Stephenie Meyer novel “Twilight,” many scenes compete for the most romantic moment, but many agree that the winner is when Edward Cullen sits down at a piano and plays a heartfelt song written for his love Bella.
With the film version on its way, an army of fans have been lobbying Meyer and director Catherine Hardwicke on the songs they think should be used as “Bella’s Lullaby.” Now, we finally have an answer – and as life imitates art, it should get Twilighters squealing in anticipation.
“Yes, it does exist in the movie,” Kristen Stewart told me while I was interviewing her and Robert for the article that just went live here, on the topic of “Bella’s Lullaby.” “And cutely enough, Rob is writing it on the piano as we speak.”
For those unaware, Robert Pattinson has a musical background; as such, Hardwicke has asked the 21-year-old to come up with an original composition. “I was doing music before I started acting, so I still have bits and pieces, and I’ve been playing in Portland [during the shoot],” he revealed. “I’ve been trying to write an album for years and years.”
“I told him he should write one, and let’s see if we can make it work, because that would be really cool if it was Rob’s song,” Hardwicke said of the lullaby. “He’s a beautiful musician, a very creative soul, very similar to Edward. He just totally reads the most interesting stuff, and sees the most interesting movies, and is very introspective and diving into his existential self.”
When I interviewed Meyer separately, she was delighted but surprised by the news. “That’s something I didn’t know,” she admitted. “I’ve never heard him play, so it’s kind of hard to say [whether his lullaby will be as I imagined it]. If it worked out right, it would be really cool.”
“He can play piano, so it’ll be great,” Stewart promised. “It’s going to be really good.”
In fairness, however, Hardwicke said she can’t commit to Pattinson’s song until he presents her with the finished product. “Maybe Rob’s song will win the contest,” she cautioned. “Or, maybe another song will.”
Meyer might welcome that scenario, as the author/music lover said she’d always hoped the gig could go to the lead singer for her beloved band, Muse. “Personally, I don’t think anybody could do a better job than Matthew Bellamy, because he is an amazing composer and his instrumental stuff is just the way Edward should play, because its so complicated,” Meyer observed. “It almost sounds like you’d have to have two people playing to get that level of sound. So, that would be my favorite.”
“But,” she added, keeping an open mind, “If Robert could write a lullaby, that would definitely add to some of the mystique of the movie, wouldn’t it?”
Would you like to see Robert sing his original song as the lullaby? Or would you rather have someone like Bellamy writing it? Cast your vote, Twilighters, and don’t forget that the people involved with the film read our boards!
Nie mogę się doczekać by ją usłyszeć! ^^'
Edward's talent is supposed to be 'super-human'.
Rob himself said 'he has bits and piece'.
I don't think that will be enough to play th likes of Bach or Chopin or to capture the greatness of Edward's skill.
Never underestimate anyone though. So if Robert Pattinson is up to the challenge...
(K)
Robert and Kristen, as everyone knows, has a great chemistry. It would be even more magical is the composition of music was performed and sung by him, giving a little more magic and sensitivity!
I love Robert, mainly acting as Edward Cullen. Someone could not better express the sense of beauty and love inesplicável dazzling ... Robert is the perfect fit for this role!
really, it doesn't get any more romantic.
and larry sure does need a raise.
Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark
And deep inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be
made just for the movie and that Robert is the one makeing it s so AWSOME!!!To me that would just make the movie even better.
*First, I am elated to know the lullaby is in the movie!

*luffs muse*
Thanks for sharing with us again! :)
Thank God for MTV!
I gotta hand it to Robert Pattinson.
It's one thing to play the role.
It's another to compose a song for it.
Playing Edawrd Cullen was tailor-made for him...
Love his "new" accent. It's amazing how nice he sounds without his English accent.
KUDOS to Larry Carroll for delivering the goodfsf to Twilight fans..
It is MUCH APPReCIATED!
