Twilight author’s inspiration
Stephenie Meyer has often mentioned music in her blog and acknowledgements, especially as she finds music a real and ongoing source of joy and inspiration.
Muse is a frequent recipient of Meyer’s thanks and other bands include Linking Park, My Chemical Romance, The Arcade Fire and Paramore.
It seems the respect is mutual as Hayley Williams of Paramore has said she is a huge Twilight fan and recently talked about her love of the books. Hayley also explained a bit about the lead single from the soundtrack album:
“Twilight is the first series of books I’ve ever read … it really caught my attention and held it. I’m really excited to see the book adapted to film and excited that our band gets to be a part of the phenomenon. I chose the title Decode because the song is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and Edward.” - Hayley Williams, Paramore
As Paramore is one of our favourite bands, it’s great to see recognition from Meyer and inclusion in the ongoing cross-media development of the Twilight saga.
