The Twilight Saga is known for having incredible sound tracks to go along with the series. This page is dedicated to the music selected for the movies, the books, and a few of our own picks!
Stephenie Meyer explains that, "I can't write without music. This, combined with the fact that writing Twilight was a very visual, movie-like experience, promoted me to collect my favorite Twilight songs into a sort of soundtrack for the book. This list is not chiseled in granite; it transforms now and again. But, for the moment, here's the music I hear in my head while reading the book", listed on her website.
