The "Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" playlist and review

Stephenie Meyer didn't share an audible version of her Bree playlist, so I made it using grooveshark.com. :)

My review of The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner Playlist


1. "Yes Please" - Muse
   • D This sounds nothing like Muse. Just angry yelling. :/
   • Somehow, the lyrics online say he's singing "I cannot sleep, There's too much noise in my head! I cannot sleep, I want it here instead!"
2. "Heads Will Roll" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
   • C Better. Good upbeat pop rock for while Bree deals with her newborn bloodlust.
   
   "Off off off with your head. Dance dance dance ’til you’re dead"
   
3. "Midnight and I" - White Rabbits
   • C I like this one too. Slower but movin funky indie rock sound.
   • "A sextet featuring two drummers and a piano player, the White Rabbits refer to their music as "honky tonk calypso" - AllMusic
   • "Get to sleep now, Get to sleep now, Get to sleep now. Dont you ever wonder If the night's alive?"
4. "Now We Can See" - The Thermals
   • C Like it. Punk rock - Pandora
   • "But now we can see! Now that our vision is strong, we don't have to admit we were wrong! Now we can see, but the images don't stick! Our enemies lay dead on the ground, and still we kick!"
5. "Falling In" - Ha Ha Tonka
   • C Thumbs up. Acoustic rock, vocal-centric, folk influences - Pandora
   • "I keep falling in and out with you. My skins burnin, and she started laughing. What am I gonna do, woa, since I can't get her off of my mind?"
6. "Rocking Horse" - The Dead Weather
   • C Funky "surf-jazz" by a band with members of the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, the Kills, and Queens of the Stone Age. - Pandora . A little harsh by the end, but otherwise neat.
   • "I drank some dirty water, shook evil hands. I've done some bad things, and they get easier to do."
7. "New Noise" - Refused
   • D Screaming. "Hard rock roots, punk influences, aggressive gravelly male vocalist, unintelligible vocal delivery." -Pandora. Not a fan.
   • "We dance to all the wrong songs. We enjoy all the wrong moves. We dance to all the wrong songs. We're not leading."
8. "What If We Could" - Blue October
   • D The vocalist of Blue October reminds me of that song that they could never stop playing on Mix 96.9, "Into the Ocean". This is grittier and not better.
   • "I'm glad to say that we've met, but I'm sad to say that the circumstances weren't on our side" Perhaps Bree talking to the Cullens?
9. "The Royal We" - Silversun Pickups
   • C Better. Electric rock, use of strings, vocal-centric -Pandora
   • "How many times do you wanna die? How many ways do you wanna die?...Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder. Carefully look over your shoulder."
10. "Count Me Out" - Meese
    • C Easy listening indie rock. Like.
    • "You can count me out. I'm not going anywhere tonight. And I got a feeling that it's going down. So just count me out, just count me out tonight."
11. "Blindness" - Metric
    • C Nice. More indie rock.
    • "What it is and where it stops nobody knows. You gave me a life I never chose. I wanna leave but the world won't let me go. Wanna leave but the world won't let me go."
12. "Set the Sails" - Dan Mangan
    • D The sad death song. Ok, but how often do you want to listen to sad music.
    • "You decide to be alone. And hell it's cold enough to hibernate. So let it drift into the snow. It's where she chooses how to operate. Might be time to pack her in. Set the sails and just get hauled away. Maybe east or something. West was overrated anyway. The storm's coming down. These old walls are wearing thin. There's an ache to this town. And something's gotta give. If we're digging for gold and coming up dry, Just a matter of time, Just a matter of time."
